That's a good question, and I'm not really able to give a solid answer on that, but I think the measurement you're looking for is volumetric density. At least according to the wikipedia article for sodium batteries, sodium-ion batteries have roughly half the volumetric density of Lithium-ion (though I'm unsure how old that data is), so a sodium battery would need to be twice the physical size to equal the same amount of usable energy.

If there was a significant cost savings with the sodium ion option, I think that could be a reasonable tradeoff until improvements are made to make sodium-ion's density more similar to lithium.

Fluxtube looks like a nice alternative for mobile devices, nice find!

Hm, Freetube is working quite well for me, not sure why it would be giving you trouble.

Piped I avoided mentioning since most need an account, which is a hassle.

Youtube directly with Ublock Origin and Sponsorblock work flawlessly for me, personally.

Cheers for the libredirect recommendation, really makes the whole setup slick as heck! :D

I think you're right that the blade problem is mostly used in the context of right-wingers trying to tarnish and muddy Wind's image, but I don't see it as particularly negative for media to be made that highlights the fact that they could eventually become biodegradable. IMO it puts a cap on any right-wing jab by having an easily linkable response that effectively says "Well, that claim will soon be moot anyway." And it can again be emphasized that in proportion, it's not a problem to begin with.

But also, bear in mind this is a Solarpunk community, and we're pretty into reducing as much waste as possible while putting up as much alternative energy as possible, so the fact that even that small amount of waste can be eliminated is something we would appreciate knowing.

Cheers for sharing this, have to agree its superb.

I know 90% of titles that end in a question usually can be answered with a No, but in this case, it's yes! :D

In comparison to waste from all traditional energy sources, decommissioned blades are indeed an insignificant problem, but hey, improvement is improvement! :)

The housing cost situation there is simply unbelievable to my American eyes. Living in an idyllic, dense, walkable village with a large house only costs $210 a month in rent (or sometimes even cheaper, as the owners seem to just want people to live in the house). Renting an abandoned schoolhouse room in town for a small business only costs $40 a month due to the town subsidizing any small businesses.

Realistically the rubber will need to meet the road at some point, and the wasteful alfalfa and almond farmers need to be cut off straight up, because there's no way a handful of wealthy farmers is going to be prioritized over a city of hundreds of thousands if that city is seriously considering trucking in water.

One thing to bear in mind, is that the draining of the water tables in the western U.S. is completely artificial, as in we could easily refill them with correct management. The issue is a crazy, CRAZY amount of water (inefficient flood irrigation farming accounts for 75% of water use out west) is wasted on growing alfalfa for export, or almonds, and farmers are able to do this due to water rights from 100 years ago.

If we just stopped the farmers from wasting water alone, we'd have enough water to replenish and drastically refill our aquafers.

That made me audibly snort 😄

He's seeing facist rhetoric damage his state first hand, yet still makes sure to clarify he's a supporter of Trump and his border policies.

These people will follow him right to the edge of the cliff, and only when they've begun to tip over and realize their fate, say "how could I have known?"

The second paragraph kinda depends on how much horsepower they need for dev or gaming. If they play mostly indie games and don't need cuda cores as an example, a steamdeck-like would serve pretty effectively in both roles, especially with the docking station.

Currently the best way is with Lemmyverse

He posted this update a few months ago, it seems to be progressing well!

Woah, that unlocked a memory of how my parents said giving sweets to our dog would give him worms. Wonder how that pervaded so widely.

block women, not black. I misread it as well, especially since it'd be easy to believe he'd target black women specifically.

EDIT: I was wrong! Listened to the audio and he does explicitly say black women!

Approval voting would help, but neither party will ever vote in favor of it.

That description of your process reminds me of this video on consciousness, and how the creator describes how he has no inner monolog, or even conscious thought of some of his actions, and instead it's like a black box that he can query. Is your experience similar to that?
