Clue please?

Is the land sea ratio due primarily to sea level changes?

Putin is behind all of it

A little pedantic note, LiPo is still a type of Li-Ion (maybe I got that right)

and the bigger recent breakthrough was LFP (Lithium iron phosphate / LiFePO4)

And probably safe to call Sodium-Ion and solid state the next big phases of development

Are they still making NiMH hybrid packs?

Lithium is far superior

They already are through selection. China and Russia choose children with favorable genetics for a sport and groom them into competitors.

Nothing illegal about the approach, it’s just creepy to see.

(the news source looks good and worth visiting BTW)

An international team in Japan has set a new record for the fastest internet speed at a blazing 402 terabits per second (Tb/s).

The staggering number is hard to put into perspective. Compared to the average U.S. broadband speeds of around 226 megabits per second, it’s over 1.5 million times faster.

For example, a video game released in 2021, “Call of Duty: Vanguard,” is 170 gigabytes large. With an internet speed of 402 Tb/s, the game would be downloaded in 3 milliseconds. This speed is faster than a blink of an eye — over 3,000% faster.

Back in March, scientists in the United Kingdom set the previous world record for internet speed clocking in at 301 Tb/s. Researchers have increased the speed by over 25% in just a few short months.

Speeds like this are only possible using a fiber optic connection utilizing a multitude of new and different wavelengths to send data across the fiber system. These fiber optic systems will be a technology that will allow “Beyond 5G” information services to work faster than ever, and the technology is expected to become more commonly seen.

Think more like backbone, a bunch of sources and requests all getting there faster.

I run a NUC and a few other network things off a 125W elcheapo $20 bestek(?) inverter off the house battery.

Sure it gets converted twice but actual watts wasted are minimal in a low power scheme, and the juice is cleaner in the end.

And consider DIYing a big house battery. The cells are cheap now. I built a 1200Ah LFP bank just because it fit nicely in the compartment. Then throw some solar at it.

And for backup, just get a large spinning external and plug it in occasionally to sync a copy. Put it back in the Tupperware for cold storage.

Ed: why the downvote?

Thanks but looking for offline solutions

Helping fix the broken countries is a better thing

Let’s hope they can find a way to smoothly transition to a non-growth economy. The planet needs to downsize and someone needs to show the way.

It seems that stretch of the Potomac doesn’t get much if any salt. It’s way up there and flows rather well, typically.

The tidal influence ends effectively at chain bridge, but they don’t call it the Tidal Basin for nothing, presumably.

Not to say salt couldn’t happen if there is a sustained drought + more sea level rise + a strong wind from the SE (Yes, that’s a big influence on the tidal fluctuation in the Chesapeake!)

Fun fact, sakura trees typically live to 20-40yo, and the DC Japanese Grove is more than 150yo now. They must be well cared for, or something else is going on.

FYI since you’re into this kind of thing, ‘the Capitol’ refers to the US Capitol building.

‘The Capital’ means DC, the capital city in this case.

Hope you get some fresh Japanese Sakura. They are amazing.

No, it’s about reducing replicating to avoid a 90% die off

And the planet runs out of resources

and cooks for good measure

Doubt the manufacturer’s website is trustworthy

Even so it still goes into the environment forever, per the name.

There are things to try for a flat spin but not for the fully engulfed in flames part
