  • Wild claims? “‘We did this thing in the lab.’ It could be a breakthrough provided they can scale production.” The only thing that would make this a wild claim is if they didn’t actually do what they said or if it didn’t work like they said. They didn’t even claim this could be commercialized.

    Also, Professor Zhao works at Western University, in Ontario, Canada. Here’s an article about this same research on their website. The only reference to CATL in the article you linked mentions that they are commercially producing sodium ion batteries using a different process.




  • If you ignore the cost of living, sure. One simple trick to make a million dollars - work 34 years full time at $15/hour without spending any of it. Fact of the matter is, she already spent $30 million on employment payouts as part of dismantling AHS, with more coming, as well as increased costs and wait times outsourcing diagnostics to Dynalife. And don’t worry, if they reach their goal, you’ll see overall medical profits, or rather costs, to rival Americans. But keep on sucking up to her.

    Your critical thinking skills seem to be on par with your reading comprehension skills.










  • They did everything wrong in that video. On of their assertions was that soldiers wouldn’t be able to keep their mirrors properly polished. I don’t know about now, but even 40 years ago, polishing brass was a common punishment detail. I imagine it was moreso in Archimedes’ day, when brass and bronze were the thing to use. Also, there are techniques for using a signaling mirror to hit a specific location which aren’t that complicated, would certainly be something that Archimedes could figure out, and would work better for aligning the mirrors than “try really hard to aim at that spot.” The ridiculous assumptions they make besides those also detract from the goal of a best effort to test the heat ray, and seem to stem from the idea that people back then were stupider than we are rather than just not having accumulated as much knowledge as we had.

    It was entertaining, but not as informative as I would have liked.



  • First, when you use someone who obviously has dementia as your reference point for what a group of people do, you are probably wrong unless the groups you’re referring to is people with dementia.

    Second, promoters use the terms people are most likely to associate with the products they’re promoting, not what it is or think it should be called. That’s why you’ll hear diamond advertisements use the word diamond and not carbon allotrope, because one of them has no relevance to their customers.

    Third, I’m not here to talk about Trump. Ive been saying shitty things about him since before Lemmy existed, and this tidbit is almost completely irrelevant to the issues Canada has with respect to Trump. I’m here to talk about your hot take that is probably relevant to the 2% of Americans (that number is for color and is neither an opinion nor an assertion, and if it is a fact, that is purely coincidental) who naturally assume hockey refers to field hockey or who have declined sufficiently due to dementia that they have difficulty with context when speaking.
