Productive: Maps, check the stock market, read non fiction/Wikipedia, pay bills, translate voice or text written in a foreign language, use as a bike computer or GPS tracker, hail a ride/taxi, rent a bike, communicate with people.

Fun: Read books/comics, amateur photography/videography, puzzles, listen to music.

Tim is gay (fr), so I'd say he'd have an (comparatively) easier time than a straight man.

Longer wait times? B...b...b...but he's the head of the department of government efficiency, who could've seen this coming!?

If Nestle says you're bad that should be a wake up call for even a criminal.

When they say they can't afford to forgive student loans, this is what they mean. This is where the money went. A trillion each year into the military that can't say where the money went and fails the audit each year.

In a semi truck?

I'll give you a BIFL answer that's not super heavy on performance. I'll assume your primary goal is commuting or some light exercise.

1. Stay away from carbon fibre. Stick to aluminium or better yet, steel.
2. Choose a bike that has a fanbase. For example Bromptons or Surlys are expensive for what they are but you can maintain them for a lifetime.
3. Stay away from the cheapest bikes. If you're going for a low budget bike try to stick with a mainstream reputed bike brand like Giant.
4. A belt drive is more hassle free if you have the budget.

In what way? If it's the bumpers and the crumple zone, then that's a feature. Do you have a picture about what you are talking about? I'm curious.

Thats exactly right. It's also the reason why grass lawns came to existence.

You're a dumbass and I'm certain you're just like your namesake, I have so much more to say were it not for the fact that I'm extremely busy with important stuff!

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.

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.

Include police and it's still majority white American males.

"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.

I'm not.

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?

Flow battery drawbacks aren't drawbacks for home use, let alone grid scale.

Twitter and Reddit went so much to shit and lowered the bar so much that Meta actually became almost not bad in my eyes, almost.
