  He had a press conference, very recently, "over soon, but if Iran does anything more, destruction of everything". including reference to shipping in Straits. Iran knows he's bluffing, and has run out of missiles, and will not put the navy within their drone range, but at any rate, Trump's Israel masters won't let him off the hook.

  Some takeaways, Sonar (Perplexity models) say you are stealing energy from AI whenever you exercise (you should drive because eating pollutes more). ie gets right answer for wrong reason. US humans, and 55-65 age group, score high on international scale probably for same reasoning. "I like lazy".

  smoking withdrawal and not letting the expletives flow together with therapy mandated to deflect social responsibility for your problems increases the frequency of those flying off the handle. Vidya game complexity increases from pong could be a factor too. :P

  90s glam hair rock bands all had a hit ballad, despite rock tempo wall of main sound. Then there's Extreme. "More than words" is one of the best ballads of the time. They had the glam hair look. The rest of their music is jazz fusion funk. Decent, but no real hits/bangers.

  is it possible to back up an esim to a computer file (USB) and then restore it on a new phone?

  He also lied that US is doing mine clearing operations in the SoH. Iran has so far not needed to mine SoH. They have cannons that can do it, as well as modified shahed drones that just drop in the water and float. It's an easy setup to declare mission accomplished. Entire Persian Gulf will also not have any mermaids either.

  Canadian or Provincial annexation is a terrible deal for 2 main reasons. US debt, and power projection, is on a near term collapse trajectory. Insane healthcare, military spending levels for no social services is higher effective tax/oppression rate on people/small business. Changes in provincial (and/or federal) government structure would be extremely disruptive. Territorial possession of the US is far more likely than statehood. Far less generous autonomy (Quebec especially) granted by Fe...

  The motor design has huge performance benefits. Power is like a solid disk motor of the same size. Their previous model claimed much faster 0-60 time, and so I don't get why it dropped, but if true, the discharge rate of battery simply isn't as high as NMC. That would also explain why they have to have both huge range and fast charge.

  Doesn't need both fast charging and huge range. Knock $10k off the price for half the range is a much more appealing product. Battery tech in a much lighter sub 2000w ebike/powerstation is a much bigger win, as this is still 600lbs afaiu.

  Sodium Ion already does 5000+ cycles. Adding Vanadium is not a scalable material. It is very expensive. 400 cycles steady is not useful information because it needs to do much more. They didn't state a wh/kg density. This is probably not a viable research vector, but "big Vanadium" has proposed a rental model to make Vanadium more scarce for other applications. Flow batteries (a fuel cell with tanks of electrolytes) provides an ultra easy way of recycling/selling the vanadiu...

  Preferred crypto payment is USDT (Thether) stable coin. Which is the least US regulated, and most popular, US $ equivalent/backed stable coin. They are unlikely to refuse bitcoin, though.

  US "nominal" president was out to watch a UFC match. If real boss is going to micromanage how to avoid peace, then UFC promotion is as productive as minion can be.

  This is an extremely promising innovation, and company plans on bigger designs already. But the total cost has to include an automated roof opening shelter for storms, that can open and close in medium winds before the high winds come. This makes the ground footprint higher than traditional turbines, even if agriculture can be done when there is no storm and roof is open. Perhaps 4 thethering strong cables could permit it to survive a cat 1 hurricane when hugging ground without a roof, but it...
