Form Energy secures $405M to speed development of long-awaited 100-hour battery
  • Lithium batteries typically last four hours.

    What does this even mean? What a useless metric. They last alot longer than that for me. How much current does their battery draw when lasting 100 hours? What are the costs compared to lithium? Zero useful info other than "company spends money"...

    Plummeting battery prices in China may normalise EVs globally - electrive.com
  • No specific country, but somewhere in north america would be nice. The end of my comment was just referring to unavailability of cells made and produced in country's other than China. From my small experience most companies won't even talk to you for small orders, are very expensive or say something like they are only looking for investors. I can't wait for the day when these cells are on the shelf at local stores.

  • I'm using them for solar storage. Replacing a lead acid battery.

    I would like to do vehical conversion one day, if prices don't come down on new. Or better yet, hopfully vehical manufactures standardized battery cell size and availably so replacing batteries in used electric isn't a $30000 nightmare.

  • The cells can be bought by anyone but that number doesn't take shipping into account. Alibaba or www.gobelpower.com I have bought 16 cells and getting ready to buy 32 more. Its more that other car manufactures are not using them in there vehicles and they are making luxury vehicals instead what people really need. I really wish other country's had production of cells for sale. I can't find a single one thats not China produced that will sell to the public.

  • So I don't have all the information here and I hope someone does so we can learn from it. I don't like that the site left out that the guy burnt down the park office and was threatening people with a machete... There is a lot of info missing.

    When will the floss stop hurting
  • Not a dentist. Should probably see one. Mine were in really bad shape. I didn't take care of them for a long time. I'm trying now. At first all the gums would bleed and hurt. A month later still bad. I ended up giving the gums a couple days to heal every once and a while then back to once a day. Two years later still two spots that hurt a little and bleed some times. It can take time, dont get discouraged. I think its something that if you don't do, its hard to get back to healthy. Keep in there, don't give up. My teeth are a million times better than they were.

    Bell denied stay in decision allowing smaller companies to sell internet using its fibre networks
  • Where I live Bell got a government grant to put fiber to the houses in the area this summer. I was dreading the fact that there would have been fiber to my house but I would still refuse to be a bell customer again.... I really hope I can get a connection through another company using the line. Currently on Netfox through Bell copper!

    Wwyd if you were given a pocket dimension 3m cubed?
  • Think thats what they meant. Just use it as there home. At work then teleport to there space then back to work. When traveling the normal way just use it for sleeping. Basicly taking your home with you.

    Help choosing an android tv box
  • You can use kodi on any old computer or a kodi device like Vero that uses OSMC. There are non official apps for most services. Some take a little time setting up, others just username and password. While kodi its self might not spy. The streaming services certainly still track what you watch.

    best foss cad software?
  • Depends on what your using it for? For 3d printers I like FreeCAD. Though it has a bit of an initial learning curve. It has a lot of functionally. SolveSpace was pretty good but I had some trouble with fillets and things. Might have been user errors... I havent used blender much but heard its good for more artistic modeling for games and videos. Not sure if it would work good for 3d parts? Anyone use it for that?

    Power company says it's halting battery storage plan after backlash, death threat
  • Ya, thats probably true. I always hope there is some type of rational thought to this behavior that I havent thought of. But I doubt it here. Only thing I can think of is they wouldn't like the look of it. Hardly a reason to go as far as dealth threats...

  • What were the peoples concerns? Why did they hate the idea of this so much? It was surrounded by farms and not like it was a nuclear power plant or something... I'm a little confused by the people's response.

    Why dl restaurants not offer metal straws the same way they offer metal forks, knives and spoons.
  • I think straws are harder to clean properly. All other utensils are outside surfaces only. If some one has food stuck inside one the restaurant is probably not going to want to manually put a cleaner inside every one to be sure. A small chance some customer is going to get one with food still in it... I don't mind the paper ones that don't go soggy right away. At home I use metal or silicone ones. Like the silicone ones!

    What has been your experience with Flatpak?
  • Two issues I have with them.

    First the size. Being on a poor internet connection makes downloading them painful. Some apps are 200MB for the apt or a flatpak install 1.5GB! Also doesn't help with disk space.

    Second I often have issues saving files. Some apps use non standard folder location and some still save them to the non standard location even when you select one of you own. Block bench was bad. I'm not sure what causes this, if it wasn't for the size I would probably spend more time looking for a fix.

    What's the best vacuum cleaner in your opinion?
  • It doesn't plug into the wall like you asked. But my favorite vacuum is the "shark ion p50" It is a standup cordless vacuum with changeable batteries, large canaster and good suction. The shark corded (no battery) dual brush(duo clean) models or other corded brands do have better suction though. The p50 is just the closest to a coarded but still battery one I could find, I hate tripping on cords.
