  1. Results depend on source on Scientists Deliver a Longer-Lasting Lithium-Oxygen Battery (technologyreview.com) · · Score: 2

    We've found that batteries made for the Chinese internal market frequently have a lower capacity than those made for the Korean and US markets. Has to do with how they're made. Be aware of this.

    That said, also be aware of the operating ranges and any physical defects.

  2. Re:PBS made a big mistake on Antenna Sales Are Rising, In Another Sign of Churn In TV Watching (startribune.com) · · Score: 1

    Mr. Rogers was a Republican. Try reading a book sometime, you might learn something, "comrade".

  3. Re:Not here. 3 PBS stations with subchannels on Antenna Sales Are Rising, In Another Sign of Churn In TV Watching (startribune.com) · · Score: 1

    In Seattle and Tacoma (which you can pick up in Seattle) they broadcast in 1080p and also carry 720p and 360p other language channels.

    You can get most sports games - pick up the Spanish language channel, turn on the screen captions with Second Language set to English, turn on SAP audio (which is English). Plus, they're way more fun!

  4. 1080p HDTV antenna or 1080i cable on Antenna Sales Are Rising, In Another Sign of Churn In TV Watching (startribune.com) · · Score: 1

    Lower resolution signals over cable or higher resolution for free over the air with a $40 HDTV antenna that picks up more than 100 channels.

    Easy choice.

  5. In cities, it's mostly suburban cars that create pollution, but NYC has barriers that make that less of an impact.

    If it weren't for major polluters like Trump, they'd be fine.

  6. Re:After 99 percent of the damage is caused on World Is Finally Waking Up To Climate Change, Says 'Hothouse Earth' Author (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    As was evidenced by the recent heatwaves in Europe, this is far more critical than those not in the energy industry realize.

    They literally had to shut down a few in multiple countries.

    There is no "cheap" nuclear power. Fission is a disaster from mining start to disposal four million years end.

    Now, fusion, and we developed working fusion reactors, which you're not supposed to know about, is actually fairly reasonable, other than the radioactive reactor shell and some of the salts.

    Stop pretending otherwise, n00b

    The problem is that the effects you're seeing are about 90 percent caused by emissions up to 2000.

    It's going to take a lot of work to get it back to reasonable, and many of the old people who caused and are causing it won't live to see a world where they suffer from it's consequences.

    We've known about this for centuries, and still waste money on fake solutions like overpriced nuclear power (which doesn't work well when the water heats up a lot), when the solutions even Edison knew about, wind and solar, are far far cheaper than any of the fossil fuels that are creating the problem.

    personally I like that commercial where Katherine Hahn is chowing down on a burger in her plug-in electric hybrid, but hey, whatever

  10. What is this gas you go on about? on Return of the Bubble Car? (reuters.com) · · Score: 2

    Only a fool pays for fossil fuel cars anymore. Electric cars use 1/2th the maintenance expense, and in most of the West cost 1/10th the cost to fuel.

    There's your bubble. It's a bubble caused by reliance on grandpa's kerosene fueled Model T.

    Wake up and smell the clean green 2020 world that gave up on your carbon intensive and expensive tax-subsidized lifestyle, gramps!

  11. Add same day in person registration. Most states have figured out how to maintain security of physical ballots, and sequester those where registration is in question for verification.

  12. Anything less won't work.

    Remember, snapshot and full database rollbacks with query/row match for discrepencies in volatile precincts and counties are key for db comparisons. Random audits.

  13. Google does track everything you do, even after you "leave" the browser.

  14. Obviously in a city, since those have the lowest carbon impact

  25. It also authorized green energy for US military on Trump Signs Defense Bill With Watered-Down ZTE Sanctions (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    He may be (and is) a moron, but the defense authorization bill also fully funded dealing with the actual risk factors of global warming (a 2 foot rise in sea levels) for all military installations, and the conversion of military units to in-place green energy solar wind and battery systems to cut down on fossil fuel supply lines which are easy targets.

    Greener, faster, more nimble, harder to stop.

    Trump didn't read past the 4 panel manga they made for him on what was in the bill. He thought it said "Putin will love this" and signed immediately.
