It features: ⦁ 10,000 charge cycle lifetime to 85% capacity ⦁ 90% power capability at -40℃ ⦁ 175 Wh/kg energy density, behind Li-Ion at 300 Wh/kg ⦁ no thermal runaway danger ⦁ cost $19/kWh, compared to $50/kWh for Li-Ion This will be ideal for mid-range, low cost EVs, and for grid batteries. They start mass production in 2026. #Energy #EVs #Batteries https://carnewschina.com/2025/09/18/catl-says-next-gen-sodium-ion-battery-supports-500-km-range-readies-for-2026-mass-production/ npub1zdwsqa68p3j9nxv706e3juzyjclpzct8fkeclsus33w8dcs6lqtsdl9x8y Dan Neuman 🇨🇦 When I wear the mask Nobody can see Me singing to Sade.

I am now using the goods and services of our economy without needing a job myself. That sounds like a net gain, no? npub1zdwsqa68p3j9nxv706e3juzyjclpzct8fkeclsus33w8dcs6lqtsdl9x8y Dan Neuman 🇨🇦 My spouse's dad is a Baptist minister and staunch conservative in the riding that Pierre Poilievre is running in.

But I note that pushing the girl you liked on the playground was common when I was young. Common for boys who couldn't process their feelings, anyway. npub1zdwsqa68p3j9nxv706e3juzyjclpzct8fkeclsus33w8dcs6lqtsdl9x8y Dan Neuman 🇨🇦 @nprofile…l4zs @nprofile…wuyc I'm wondering if we'll have buyer's remorse in 5 years. I don't rule out things getting better, but it's a concerning start. Carney was the person for the moment, but can that give him staying power? I kind of doubt it. We should make sure there is a leadership contest before the next election, but I fear it won't happen unless the Liberals lose one or at least fall back significantly. npub1zdwsqa68p3j9nxv706e3juzyjclpzct8fkeclsus33w8dcs6lqtsdl9x8y Dan Neuman 🇨🇦 @nprofile…8wwf And video games.

"Do you trust science," is a better question. npub1zdwsqa68p3j9nxv706e3juzyjclpzct8fkeclsus33w8dcs6lqtsdl9x8y Dan Neuman 🇨🇦 Willpower is overrated.

Having a Master's degree myself, I naturally followed researchers in many fields, but my love of charts made me follow a lot of economist researchers. There it became clear that relying on Capitalists was dangerous without significant regulation. Oh, and reading "Voltaire's Bastards" by John Ralston Saul, and Naomi Klein's "No Logo" probably got me started. https://assets.ottawa.place/media_attachments/files/114/704/913/511/680/896/original/305b3bf37e7cc291.jpeg npub1zdwsqa68p3j9nxv706e3juzyjclpzct8fkeclsus33w8dcs6lqtsdl9x8y Dan Neuman 🇨🇦 @nprofile…mma4 @nprofile…s0v8 That must have been an experience to remember. npub1zdwsqa68p3j9nxv706e3juzyjclpzct8fkeclsus33w8dcs6lqtsdl9x8y Dan Neuman 🇨🇦 @nprofile…qqnj A small spinner might be ok. In high school a few of my classmates were expert pen spinners or coin wranglers and that didn't bother me too much. I can't take hand flapping or leg jiggling, though, as I've learned from the youngest person here at home. npub1zdwsqa68p3j9nxv706e3juzyjclpzct8fkeclsus33w8dcs6lqtsdl9x8y Dan Neuman 🇨🇦 @nprofile…wt3m It's always disappointing to learn that the flaw in these "new" turbines is fundamental physics. There is a limit to how much energy you can extract from wind (the maximum theoretical power coefficient, 59.3%)* and total energy is proportional to the area of wind being intercepted. For a 3-bladed turbine, every blade is extracting energy 100% of the time, and in practice has a power coefficient of 45-50%. In the above design, energy is extract by the wind causing vibrations in the mast, which means the mast works within a narrow speed range, and their computed efficiency is at most 7%! (See image 9(b) at https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S096014812501211X) But vertical designs may have advantages in certain applications, despite their lower energy density capabilities. * Trying to extract too much energy causes the air to pile up in front of the turbine and slow down. You have to let wind through the turbine to keep it flowing enough to extract any energy. This is known as Betz's Law. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betz%27s_law npub1zdwsqa68p3j9nxv706e3juzyjclpzct8fkeclsus33w8dcs6lqtsdl9x8y Dan Neuman 🇨🇦 @nprofile…mma4 @nprofile…s0v8 Interesting example.

It's a shame we don't have that anymore, and it has fallen victim to "business efficiency" and shareholder advocates demanding ever higher ROIs. As far as I can tell, AT&T was a private company until after the monopoly ruling and subsequent breakup in the early 1980s. On the other hand, Bell Labs existed at a time of *fundamental* discoveries. The environment may have helped in achieving the discoveries earlier, but was not necessarily the only way these discoveries would have been made. Is it fair to mock Google, Apple, and Microsoft R&D for not producing anything equally monumental when perhaps there is nothing as significant left to discover? I know I'm setting myself up for "everything in physics has been discovered" quotes, but I'm talking about computing and communications, not grand theories. We are now working on new techniques, not new concepts. npub1zdwsqa68p3j9nxv706e3juzyjclpzct8fkeclsus33w8dcs6lqtsdl9x8y Dan Neuman 🇨🇦 @nprofile…0lq9 @nprofile…wkk2 Would he be as strong? npub1zdwsqa68p3j9nxv706e3juzyjclpzct8fkeclsus33w8dcs6lqtsdl9x8y Dan Neuman 🇨🇦 @nprofile…v7hl I'm already getting the wrong stuff from Amazon, so this is going to go sooo well. npub1zdwsqa68p3j9nxv706e3juzyjclpzct8fkeclsus33w8dcs6lqtsdl9x8y Dan Neuman 🇨🇦 @nprofile…gwmg Don't sewer and purr rhyme?

It replaces the DNS service your router points to (that turns the URL into a numbered address) with one that vets the addresses against a block list, and works for any device on the network. The block list it comes with is for advertisers. https://pi-hole.net/ npub1zdwsqa68p3j9nxv706e3juzyjclpzct8fkeclsus33w8dcs6lqtsdl9x8y Dan Neuman 🇨🇦 @nprofile…aysg I added "before:2023-01-01" (no quotes) and the answer was the first link.

I have many books on the go that I'm struggling to finish, so this is a big win for me. I've been filling my time swiping on Twitter-like media since Trump was elected in 2016, hoping for good news and only rarely finding it. This really wrecked my reading attention span. But I finished Ursula Le Guin's "A Wizard of Earthsea" in just a few days, and I only had to speed through a few parts when the protagonist was being a vainful dork causing me painful bystander embarrassment. npub1zdwsqa68p3j9nxv706e3juzyjclpzct8fkeclsus33w8dcs6lqtsdl9x8y Dan Neuman 🇨🇦 Super important cat information! #buttholes https://assets.ottawa.place/media_attachments/files/114/620/233/007/873/418/original/751828ae8ea04b5f.mp4 npub1zdwsqa68p3j9nxv706e3juzyjclpzct8fkeclsus33w8dcs6lqtsdl9x8y Dan Neuman 🇨🇦 @nprofile…e95e @nprofile…ahr2 The bigger the failure, the better the publicity. npub1zdwsqa68p3j9nxv706e3juzyjclpzct8fkeclsus33w8dcs6lqtsdl9x8y Dan Neuman 🇨🇦 @nprofile…8ts5 Another Google app that will be turned off in four years. npub1zdwsqa68p3j9nxv706e3juzyjclpzct8fkeclsus33w8dcs6lqtsdl9x8y Dan Neuman 🇨🇦 @nprofile…74fa @nprofile…uv00 Looking for undocumented scum and villainy, these days. npub1zdwsqa68p3j9nxv706e3juzyjclpzct8fkeclsus33w8dcs6lqtsdl9x8y Dan Neuman 🇨🇦 @nprofile…3kvh Or what?
