TNT has 1162 Wh/kg ratio.

How do you recharge TNT?

We are hitting the limit what is doable with energy density.

I mean, we’re definitely running into a problem of how you build a battery without also building a bomb. But the entire point of TNT is rapid thermal expansion. The point of a battery is very low voltage steady release of electrical charge.

I might also note that C4 has around 6 Mwh/kg. A bit of applied chemistry can go a long way to improving energy efficiency. And that’s before you take advantage of geometry to focus pressure, via a shaped charge.

Point being, there’s a lot of clever ways to juice a lemon. We’re a long way from the end of the road on battery improvement.

Going to need a control ball relative to the variable ball to calibrate your measurements.

But how are people so basic.

I would like a thing. All retail commerce has been monopolized by a handful of big box storefronts. One of those storefronts sucks marginally less than the others, such that I can actually find what I want to buy and expect it to be delivered in a timely fashion.

But I shouldn’t shop there because… ???

Wonder why bad things continue to happen.

Damn, so true. We should never have quit shopping at Target Walmart Sears Woolworths. Now we live in Capitalist Hell and its all our own fault.

Okay, but have you considered that Amazon is the reason prices are high?

Obviously, none of these other retailers had a hand in it.

In fairness, she looks better in it

They won’t be profitable in a few years

I just don’t know where you get these claims from

What are you, Swiss? Australian? Irish?

The same applies.

Planet is choked with guns. They’re everywhere and very easy to get. Absolutely no reason you need one that’s been churned out by a printer you got on Temu.

I do go out to live shows and buy t-shirts and other merch like nobody’s business.

Who doesn’t love a cool band t-shirt?

3D printing your own guns

Just buy a normal fucking gun, this is America ffs there are more guns than people.

Too bad DVDs and CDs will quit being made soon

We’re still making vinyl records. What on earth makes you think we’re going to stop making DVDs?

I’m happy to just pirate this shit.

To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize.

You could make the same argument about Bush Jr in '03 or Obama in '14 or Biden through most of his term.

“President Shits-Himself is doing a bad job, ergo Russia is in control” is pure scapegoating. You’d never know Miriam Adelson or Jared Kushner exist, the way people talk about Putin controlling Donald Trump.

Sure. But since Putin is the Big Bad, everything Trump does must be part of Putin’s master plan.

You know, I was skeptical that birds even got up that high.

Turns out this thing is actually far too low.

Incidentally, also why the other wind turbine bird death stories are largely horseshit.

Those studies gave a wide range for the number of birds that die in wind turbine collisions each year: from 140,000 up to 679,000. The numbers are likely to be higher today, because many more wind farms have been built in the past decade.

Those numbers are not insignificant, but they represent a tiny fraction of the birds killed annually in other ways, like flying into buildings or caught by prowling house cats, which past studies have estimated kill up to 988 million and 4 billion birds each year, respectively. Other studies have shown that many more birds—between 12 and 64 million each year—are killed in the U.S. by power lines, which connect wind and other types of energy facilities to people who use the electricity.
