The US has DOUBLE its current power production in proposed expansions, mostly solar and batteries. In 2004 it had like 20%. The US grid is set to grow.

Google has said to turn right at an intersection where you are turning left for years because it doesn't know about a T shaped intersection that tens of thousands use a day.

Did Steve Jobs die from believing something similar (while skipping chemo)

I'm fuzzy on the details, but I think he also did wildly unhealthy things like only eating apples or almonds or somesuch.

We made sure to still cover all nutritional needs while following the diet.

This meant a diverse array of food sources, in sufficient amounts to meet micro and macro nutrient recommended daily values, that we cooked ourselves.


Basically the issue is often that gene therapies end up in the liver since its the livers job to detoxify, but that may cause a dangerous immune response if the immune system notices it in the liver and attacks the organ, since the person could die from the damage.

I’m assuming this has been tried, but why doesn’t nano-encapsulated mRNA (that then makes the CRISPR sequences in cells) or whatever the peptide injectors do solve the problem?

I have met pacifists who say all war is bad* and thus the Russia Ukraine war should immediately end, without any ideas on how to get that to happen except a few who imply Ukraine should roll over and be consumed.

*or this is an inter-capitalist war


I once met a horse that could count. That hardly makes horses a good representation of math professors.

Our experiences with a few instances of something is rarely sufficient for us to suggest or imply some kind of universality.


The US has literally double its total electricity production in solar and batteries stuck in the now 5 year FIFO permit hell we require for grid additions that will cause most proposals to pull out before completion

Firefighters are infamous for creating elevator regulations that require being able to rotate a stretcher, which lead to less elevators duet to the immense costs, which is both completely unnecessary and defeats the entire purpose of the regulations for safety since now they have to drag injured people down stairs

They are also dragging their feet on 'single stair' reform, despite single stair being perfectly safe with adequate construction techniques

Its especially egregious because 2 stair builds are easily and often designed with more distance between stairs and rooms than single stair builds are.

supercapacitors are quite difficult because they can explode

I have some news about flywheels...

In power grids the system must be able to handle peak loads for weeks at a time. Either it will shed loads (aka shut off electricity) or things will explode. A black start cannot be allowed to happen as it would be catastrophic

Peaks don't last for weeks, but yes: Load must sometimes be shed.

That happens today. It will happen tomorrow. It's imperfect. This imperfect nature doesn't mean that progress must cease, or that all things must be forever maximalized in search of perfection.
