    If the US cares about democracy and human rights, they should support Palestine and Ukraine.

    If you want a new car and you want it to be electric, I'd go with a small car made by Hyundai or BYD.

    That's the most sensible purchase financially and environmentally imo.

  • If I'm stuck in the same area as someone who is clearly sick (runny nose, coughing etc) is there some combo of short/long breaths or nose/mouth breathing that's a better defense against catching it?

    But if you inhale through the mouth as the alternative, you'll directly track the viral load to the lungs which also had mucus and the viral load would multiply there instead. So take your pick. At least the nasal passage has some defences.

    This is just pro Israeli propaganda. This specific conflict started in 1948. The whole UN has voted against Isreal. And you're telling me that that region will have all out war if Israeli troops stopped killing children? GTF outta here.

    Both the two major parties do. But the third party isn't accused yet. To put into perspective he's exactly like Bernie Sanders if he got the candidacy instead of Hilary.

    Learn from Sri Lanka. For the first time ever they got a president from the third party. In the last presidential election he got 3%. Not thirty, three! This time he got 55%. Goes to show how fed up the people were with the system.

    "Damaging equipment" is just nonsense. I've got an off-grid solar system. When the battery is fully charged the solar panels simply stops producing. It has potential (voltage) but no current until you draw power. Just like a battery is full of energy but it just sits there until you draw power from it.

    All solar systems could have smart switches to intelligently disconnect from the grid as needed, some inverter already do this automatically. So it's not a technical problem. It's a political problem.

    Too heavy, and too big. This is compared to an automotive battery though. They take up the size of something like a fridge. They are also expensive but prices are bound to come down once production is up. But they have claimed zero capacity degradation for decades they say. And the liquid inside is a fire retardant, so if you puncture a battery that would actually put out the fire.

    There are number of videos on YouTube, it's an interesting technology.

    There's absolutely a problem with how MIT Tech Review has phrased it. It could've been phrase like "modern power generation requires innovate solutions to the gride and large scale grid upgrades." But no they blamed it has a Solar problem, not a grid problem.

    I see headlines all the time such as "The US highways need a 1 Trillion investment in the next decade". How come they aren't phrased like "The problem with trucks and cars is that they destroy roads, leading to Trillions of cost to the taxpayer". They've decided that transportation is non-negotiable and it's needed. But renewable electricity is not?

    Eh. Using public well used spaces as your own personal living space is selfish and disrespectful of everyone else.

    Hopefully you support a ban on private vehicles then? Special big trucks and SUVs.

    When films are adapted from books, more often than not, I tend to find the books a lot more enjoyable. So I have skipped watching a lot of films in the hope of reading the books later. So what are some great films not adapted from books? Or what are some films that are significantly better than the book they were adapted from?

    A political faction cancels a rail project citing, 1. Costs 2. Not having enough stops 3. Noise etc. Then proposes a worse project or more highways. Does this sound familiar? I urge you to watch this video because there are many parallels between this Canadian tale and the now cancelled Colombo light rail project. There maybe lessons we can learn from Canada.

    From 3:18, CNBC reports that taxes from oil is not enough to repair roads and general federal revenue provides funds. That means that everyone is subsidizing car usage. If there were reduced car usage, infrastructure wouldn't have decayed at this rate. Ever increasing weight of trucks, SUVs other trending vehicle do nothing but accelerate this problem. This is another reason to tax vehicles by weight.
