Legal in the US. I think this guy is in Brazil.

What do you think "video killed the radio star" was about?

These will be useless for EV's, but great for storage. They aren't energy dense enough for what the EV market needs.

Samsungs solid state EV batteries are currently the only positive step towards EV replacement and production vehicles are set to start rolling out around 2027. They're supposed to be lighter, last more cycles, charge faster, more energy dense, and safer than current EV liquid lithium batteries.

The sodium ion batteries will be great for large scale solar storage and house/business solar storage. They should let someone build a solar powered house that could continuously run completely off grid without needing to use lithium batteries that would need replaced every 10 to 15 years.

Internet used to be so slow that you had a tv next to the computer so you could keep yourself entertained until the funny picture loaded.

Next, they'll add AI fauna and an intelligent race much like our own. They'll jack the speed up to high and use it to see how problems in our own future might arise and be dealt with.

Every so often the administration may have to make some sort of "god" type AI to pop in and try to keep things heading on track in the directions we need it to go. I can't wait till they get up to traveling to their moon and seeing if they decide to fake it, or go at it for real. Hopefully we'll be able to keep the simulation going long enough without it destroying itself to see if they can solve interstellar travel in a way we can copy. Otherwise it'll need reset so we can try again.

Pretty much the entirety of the Animorphs book series, but I guess there was a reason for it. But for some kids books, holy hell.

"See, win or lose, right or wrong, the memory of violence sits inside your head. It sits there, like some lump you can't quite swallow. It sits there, a black hole that darkens hope, and eats away at everyday happiness like a cancer. It's the shadow you take into your own heart and try to live with."

They predate nukes, bro.

They aren't being used wrong. It's just that no one will say it's OK to use them that way for liability purposes for when someone inevitably screws it up or already has too much wax. It also depends on what type of wax your ears make (people have different kinds. Wet, dry, or somewhere in between)

I've used them for decades "the wrong way" and checked my ear canal with a little bluetooth camera thing made for ears. My canal and eardrums are immaculate, so it happens to work great for me.

Cotton swabs were invented in the 1920s for the purpose of ear cleaning. They were marketed as such until around 1980 when the market became worried about lawsuits from people stabbing their ear drums or people with lots of wet wax built up already in their ears compacting it towards the ear drum instead of it getting cleaned out.

I fix stuff. I like fixing stuff. Cars, computers, cell phones, appliances, tvs, small motors, etc. It's all like a little challenge/puzzle to me. I like doing it. It's never been in my field of work, but I get asked all the time why I don't do any of it for $$$.

Well, because I want to keep liking it is why.

Sure it can. "Do they sound fat and over 50? :If yes, answer diabetes. If no, answer no diabetes"

The dedicated websites to check amazon reviews like fakespot.com have been almost completely beaten. What is Firefox going to do differently?
