Me. I got banned for saying I wished MTG would trip and swallow her own head- apparently this was inciting violence. I appealed twice, then gave up. Also killing off Apollo pretty much soured me, and then everything went total bot farm bullshit. So, lemmy for me from now on!

It’s red hats in the USA

No way!! I hadn’t seen that yet. Well you learn something every day!

Yeah exactly- that’s why they don’t do it on manuals, no way to disengage the gear on slowdown. I’ve used it a few times in a Subaru and was really impressed.

Every manual transmission car I’ve owned made in the last 25 years has had cruise control. Is stop and go traffic a pain? Sure, but not enough of a pain for me to give up my manual.

The only feature that I kinda wish I had was radar assist- manuals definitely don’t have that from what I’ve seen.

Right and what I was saying was even if it wasnt “public”, single party consent means the person recording can be that single party- so still a non-issue.

Most US states are single party consent. https://recordinglaw.com/united-states-recording-laws/one-party-consent-states/

Kennedy should give himself a big old shot of bleach. Trumps swears by it!

5 inches thick? It’s a chunky clam chowder can, yikes

Slowly. They make hat stretchers. Probably want to make sure the material is well hydrated. I’d do it carefully over several weeks or months, maybe misting it with some water.

Walle had the Apple startup chime when he recharged

The trailer for the new borderlands looked like the most soulless, boring cash grab. Anyone put much time into it yet?

Yeah remember the guy that put Biden bound and gagged on the bed door of his pickup?

Those guys don’t have time for hair.

Found another one!

Wow you’re a real piece of shit.

Yeah don’t get me wrong- I get it’s a battery. But a battery that’s 5% efficient isn’t great. Now 72? That’s pretty incredible, I’d like to see that in action.

Thanks for the insight, I’m not a mechanical engineer, I’m a software engineer :) The walls on these spheres have got to be pretty thick- 400 tonnes is no joke. 3/4 of a meter if I had to guess.

Thanks, I missed that on my read through - 1000 feet of water is pretty serious pressure.

I’m pretty skeptical about this- wouldn’t a 30m sphere be incredibly buoyant when empty? I get its concrete, but it’s displacing huge amounts of water. So you’d need some massive anchoring, maybe that’s not a big deal. Second, I don’t know what depths we’re talking about here, but I feel like the stress from cycling these things daily would be insane- in high pressure salt water no less. I also wonder what the efficiency of this system would be compared to other similar batteries, like pumped hydro storage. It seems to me pumping out water to near vacuum while under crushing outside water pressure would be a significant power hog.
