Seasickness sacked several seamen who set sail in search of cesium in the sea. The say the seasickness ceased after stopping to seize the cesium sea samples they were seeking. So the cesium samples were safely secured by the sailors, sans-seasickness.
There is no safe minimum dose once it is in your body, slowly disintegrating, radiating into your organs and cells.
There is also no safe minimum exposure to sunlight, no safe minimum amount of air to breath, no safe minimal exposure to germs, no safe minimal ingestion of food. Nothing you do is safe.
But, if your definition of safe is something that is unlikely to cause any harm or ill effect, then small radioactive doses, internal or external, are quite safe, particularly in comparison to many things that we do in everyday life that we consider safe.
It would seem to make sense to mount in an outdoor enclosure and just use for adding heat to your existing setup, I wouldn't want to depend on it for all my heat.
What I'd be even more interested in than heat is free broadband access!
So, you think there is zero merit to the idea that 'adaptability' is a favorable genetic trait that would provide a greater advantage during 'challenging' earth periods. OK.
Thanks, I misread that. My point still stands to some extent, and it certainly makes sense that life would thrive when the conditions for it became more favorable.
I don't see a logical basis for claiming low O2 "sparked" a diversification explosion directly. However, those species with the greatest ability to adapt likely survived the earth's various challenging periods, including this one, and what remained after each were a higher proportion of species with inherently advanced genetic ability to adapt/change/diversify. The low O2 period may have just been the tipping point.
Municipalities that treated cable providers like they were utilities to start with is a big part of the problem. This is a great way for lobbyists to get even MORE influence over how ISP service is provided, what it may or may not include, and who can (and can't) provide it.
Not discussed in the summary, but possibly one of the most beneficial potential uses states in the source;
The UW Medical Center’s Shain sees a potential therapeutic application for the tubes: helping axons grow across long distances to repair injuries. In the body, neurons typically won’t grow past a scar. With further development, these microtubes could be used to rebuild severed nerve bundles, he says.
Good advice. And add some gas powered cooking appliances & keep a few tanks on hand. Don't try to be 'environmental' during power outages or worst case conditions, instead invest to save energy the rest of the time and you're per euro impact will be much greater.
EV's are not in high enough demand to warrant the changes you want to see from the big boys. They could probably create a high end niche car like Telsa, but that won't bring them any significant returns on investment. They will do their best to predict the demand curve for EV's of various types, match the right cost and technology, and try to deliver in time. Some will do better than others, some may move too soon, some late, but there always be a market. If they let Tesla pave the road and take the pain, so be it. Tesla doesn't appear to be on track to make money any time soon.
Tesla has a long long way to go to get close to the scale of the major manufactures. The problems you state will become Tesla's problems once they try to scale that large. Controlling & producing everything presents its own set of issues and headaches.
Tesla struggles with scaling. They talk about how the demand is greater than their production capacity. which is OK in a niche market but a bad thing in a major competitive market. They are losing money with their existing scale, and it is not clear how much it will cost to scale up significantly. They may take quite a long time to become profitable, or they may never make it to that point, it is still unclear. What makes it a risky investment, in my opinion, is the fact that once the production/price/market variables become favorable for the technology, the big companies will be able to scale it at a much lower cost, as that is what they are good at. That is where the battery manufacturing thing become critical for Tesla's sustainability.
You assume taxes had something to do with the economic crash of 2009, but that is totally incorrect. The primary cause was the housing value bubble, exacerbated by a typical economic slow cycle coupled with a rapid rise in oil prices. Both parties allowed the housing bubble to happen, and it was cheered on by those Democrats who pushed for easy mortgages for risky demographics.
Tax cuts had zero to do with it. That is a just a political line fed to those that don't understand the economic fundamentals.

and whatever you do, don't slice it on a granite countertop.
Lots of stuff takes longer than that to diminish, and lots of that stuff is present in quantities that actually matter.
What is more interesting is our technological capability to detect such minute concentrations of just about anything.
So, you think there is zero merit to the idea that 'adaptability' is a favorable genetic trait that would provide a greater advantage during 'challenging' earth periods. OK.
Or maybe a jet powered moped.

The microbes that like doughnuts are thriving in my gut.

BTW, cool video in the source.
Maybe, at some point in their history, the now big automakers had similar "nevers" in mind.
Profitable only by playing accounting tricks. They booked income they have not yet received.
..... its your, not you're. Mod me embarrassed.

At night use gravity to spin an impeller to power the house from the water.
That would be one huge water tank. Better invest in some major structural enhancements.
Of course, for the splitting rent, the most fair approach is for the wealthiest roommate to pay more.

Skiers & snowboarders have the most terms for different types of snow.
Tesla is going to have these guys beat for no other reason than they are going to sit on their hands until it is too late.
That is a quite an assumption, that no other car company other than Tesla understands the market. I wouldn't bet too much on it.
