I wonder if boiling water would be a good disposal method? Plant matter can probably be flushed down the drain if it’s properly dead.

120/240 is the nominal voltage in North America. 110/220 is archaic/colloquial/wrong.
Net positive, like driving toward a cliff at a slightly slower speed.
Fear not, spacecraft implosions are very unlikely.
Somebody should tell them about the toasty glow of atomic energy.
Self-driving trucks will never be 100% autonomous. They will need a reliable data connection to a control center so humans can figure out how to deal with exceptional situations.
There will probably be occasional stupid traffic jams until the technology is perfected. As long as they avoid murderous rampages, we should be okay.
They’re saying $2.99 because it sounds better than $36/year.
It makes perfect sense that Taiwan should formally renounce any claim to the rest of China.
What would Taiwan gain by doing this? It’s not obvious to me whether declaring independence would make the PRC-invasion scenario more or less likely.
The battery can deliver a stable voltage output of 1.25 V and a capacity of 110 mAh/g
110 mAh/g * 1.25 V * 1000 g/kg = 137 Wh/kg.
Lithium ion is around 250 Wh/kg, so this battery is around twice as heavy.
Wait till you hear about the origins of Volkswagen.
That’s 4200 TWh/year, or 480 GW.
Though that ignores the power consumption that isn’t electrical yet, like transportation and heating.
Currently that backup/storage is mostly fossil fuels, so building nuclear would displace fossil fuels. As long as nuclear remains expensive, we will only build it because not emitting CO2 is socially valuable.
Nuclear would have to get a lot cheaper to eat wind/solar’s lunch. Maybe that could happen someday, but it’s not worth worrying about now.
This is only good news if it displaces thermal coal and gas generating stations.
Is there another plausible scenario? Wind and solar are getting so cheap, that displacing either with nuclear is like flushing money down the toilet.
A sufficiently-large pile of cash could redirect that tritium from weapons to fusion development when the time comes. Seems better than not having enough supply anywhere.
Java is still borked in a dual-stack environment: https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8170568
It’s interesting that India is building lots of heavy water reactors, because they produce tritium, which would be useful for bootstrapping fusion: https://www.science.org/content/article/fusion-power-may-run-fuel-even-gets-started
On Chrome, I only ever recall seeing the dialog when I install an extension, or if an extension is updated to use additional permissions.
Firefox MV3 is different, in that the all_urls permission cannot be granted on install. If an extension requests all_urls, it installs with the permission disabled. The user has to manually enable it for one site or all.
IPvFoo is mostly useless without all_urls, which is why I made it show that button until the permission is granted.
Firefox requires explicit user interaction to grant the all_urls
permission, although this only applies to Manifest V3. Here’s what it looks like on my extension:
I could’ve just reverted to Manifest V2 to avoid that step, but V3 will probably become mandatory someday.
Do you boil tomatoes before eating them?
