Can we just not do both? Thanks.

Also, alternatives to flying include cars ($$$ + muuuch slower + only slightly less bad) and public transit (requires collective buy-in and can't happen overnight).

Most people can just drop meat on a whim, but I can't just magic a US High-Speed Rail network into existence. I'll continue to support the CA HSR with my vote and my tax dollars, and continue to take my rare vacations to locations within driving distance, but these aren't really equivalent changes.

There is a much more robust set of existing alternatives to meat than there is to flying, at least in the US.

A lot of shaky stuff in here that has a long way to go before it makes it out of the lab.

3.5 cubic meters of material ought to be enough to make quite a comfy house

OP, a 3.5 m-wide cube is not 3.5 cubic meters. That's the size of a decently large shed... Of solid concrete.

would have enough capacity to store about 10 kilowatt-hours of energy, which is considered the average daily electricity usage for a household

No mention in the article about round trip efficiency, self-discharge rates / storage duration, etc.

Storing 10 kWh doesn't mean much if it loses much of that to internal losses, leakage into the environment, etc., before you can use it.

Capacitors generally tend to be designed to store very little energy but can charge/discharge repeatedly at a high rate. Is this designed to discharge quickly? If so, what happens if someone touches the giant Borg cube in your yard?

Concrete is also prone to cracking, which last I checked, is not good for electronics.

That said, this is an interesting concept, and if it can perform at a useful level / scale, I could see industrial uses for large systems with high peak loads / energy recovery / regenerative braking, as a cost effective way to smooth grid loads, but probably wouldn't expect to see it in use at people's homes for a loooong time.

Less "you can make a super capacitor at home", more "innovative material uses may one day make super capacitors more cost effective for certain applications, if it can be scaled out of a lab"

How about we actually wait and see how the game turns out before we crucify everyone?

Why does it matter how the game turns out if the stance is "we don't want to fund shady developers fucking over content creators"?

F-Droid 2.37.2.

But also it's been a feature for like 6 months.

"A sustainable diet leaves room for 2 chicken breasts a week"

(Really, 2 servings of fish / poultry per week. No red meat.)

The average person outside of developing nations vastly outpaces this consumption rate.

The small, single-digit percent of the population that's vegetarian/vegan, as well as people who are experiencing food insecurity and do not have consistent access to meat are ahead of the curve from a sustainability perspective.

When 95+% of people who have the means to dictate their meal choices do not achieve the target reduction it's generally safe to say everyone who eats meat needs to cut back.

In Voyager, tap a username to view someone's profile, then 3-dot menu > edit tag

Oh, really, Vernon? Why pretend, we both know perfectly well what this is about. You want me to have an abortion.

Unrelated - tagging in Voyager is really handy!

I recommend everyone give it a try, helps you identify, say, people who might be talking a big contrarian game without providing any of their own peer reviewed sources to back themselves up. Very interesting feature.

The current administration is very anti-antisemitism, I'm sure they'll get right on it.... Any minute now.....

(d/dx)(x) = 1 = dx/dx

Did you try getting rid of the old one and putting the new one in its former place?

My understanding is many of the ones that are only rated for water have additional nooks and crannies where the liquid you are carbonating can get trapped, yielding nastiness over time.
