I’m not sure which version of pict-rs it is. The Yunohost package is based on Lemmy 19.11, so I presume the pict-rs version is whichever one normally ships with that. Looking through lemmy-ynh/conf/pict-rs.toml, I see a commented reference to version 0.4.1.

I just bought two cartons of large white eggs for $6 a dozen, here in New Jersey. Half of them are for decorating (and then eating). The organic brown ones on the self above were $13 a dozen.

What are “end-of-life batteries” in this case? Is the plan to reuse used batteries that are no longer fit for automotive service?

Those are fair considerations. However, I think in the context of a massive cargo ship, a penalty on energy density might be worth it to avoid the risks associated with ammonia releases. Of course, a nuclear reactor powered ship would run on the highest energy density fuel and is arguably safer to operate than a ship that runs on ammonia.

Hydrogen is definetly harder to store than ammonia and it takes a lot of energy to compress or liquify it.

It takes a lot of energy to convert hydrogen to ammonia and whatever challenges there are to handling and storing hydrogen, ammonia has its own. At least a hydrogen release isn’t a toxic, polluting event.

And I certainly don’t want commercial nuclear ships, because companies will just create “independent” companies that will “mysteriously” go bankrupt once a ship reaches end of life and needs to be decontaminated.

So the taxpayer would have to pay for the decomissioning costs.

Yes. Let’s just get ahead of the game and nationalize shipping.

Hydrogen will leak through a latex balloon, but it is not going to leak through the steel wall of a pressure vessel. The leak risk occurs at the various fitting connections in a hydrogen system, which is overcome by using the proper fittings.

That is an interesting article, but the authors are clear that they don’t know what to expect for hydrogen leakage in a developed hydrogen economy. Sure, hydrogen might be a greenhouse gas, but you can’t really compare it to carbon dioxide because that’s a waste product that we actively dispose of to the atmosphere. You can’t really compare it to methane either because it’s naturally abundant and the LEL is much higher. Relatively leaky valves and fittings are unfortunately acceptable in natural gas service. In other words, hydrogen leakage is barely tolerable, so we have no choice but to employ technology and techniques to prevent it.

It does not leak like crazy. I know because I have experience engineering and operating high pressure electrolysis, storage, and fueling systems for hydrogen. Even when it does leak, what’s nice about hydrogen is that it’s not toxic to humans or pollutive to the environment, unlike ammonia or fossil fuels. Hydrogen leaks are easily mitigated with proven detection and ventilation techniques.

The serious issues in the articles you linked are essentially red tape and public perception, which have to be surmountable if we’re taking global warming seriously.

What is wrong with you?

Lol absolutely not!

Some important corrections

Corrections to what? Does the article get any of these points wrong?

• The article says nothing about opening the doors from the inside; if you are ever in that situation, cybertrucks have a manual release under the rubber mat of the “map pocket” in the doors (source)

That’s an irresponsible, deadly, anti-human design feature, but thanks for the tip I guess.

Why run ammonia when you can just run liquid hydrogen? Why run liquid hydrogen when you can just run a nuclear reactor?

Loyalty comes in different forms. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

There was never any long-standing taboo against meeting and negotiating with governments of allied countries. It’s always been “we do not negotiate with terrorists”, with Hamas being among the worst, but here we are, finally.

I think an important difference is that Hamas has been prevailing against Israel and they haven’t done anything directly against Trump as far as I can recall. Ukraine is not doing well against Russia and Zelensky had supported the Biden and Harris during the election. Trump has a distain for disloyal losers, and Netanyahu’s loyalty is hardly a sure thing.

The lesson that university administrations will probably fail to learn is that it’s better to stand up for your students from the start rather than give in to political demands to violently punish them over baseless allegations of antisemitism.

Maybe I’m being too optimistic, but does anyone else think it’s a good sign that he decided to negotiate directly with Hamas?

Lol
