A fuel tank is not a pressure vessel (apart from being sealed to keep fumes in). If you get a puncture in your gas tank, it doesn’t immediately and violently explode, it just leaks fuel out. Even if it does catch fire, it would not be as violent an explosion as a pressure vessel failure. In most scenarios it would burn, but not explode.

I’m pretty sure the “production” process is just compressing atmospheric air and separating out the other gases. The atmosphere is 78% nitrogen.

The extremely dangerous high pressure vessel right behind the driver’s head seems like it’s not worth the trade off there… Better carry a bomb around just in case the car rolls over. /s

With how big the cab is, it almost looks like they took an SUV and bolted on a tiny truck bed sticking out the back. The perportions are very strange.

It’s got 50% more range, so it’s probably got a bigger battery. Lithium is expensive.

Yeah, add a bit more jpeg to hide the too perfect focus and lighting and it’d be very convincing.

I can get behind planting more trees, but it sounds like they just started planting them on city-owned land without permission? I somehow doubt an argument with a cop about how great the trees will be is going to get them out of that.

Out of all the best burgers I’ve had, the best ones have been very juicy and made a huge mess of my plate / hands. It’s a worthy sacrifice in my opinion.
- Comment on Slice of ketchup anyone? 4 months ago:
I haven’t heard of dip packets, maybe they’re better. The little squeeze packs you have to tear open and put in something else to dip are just a mess, and I don’t like having to open so many packets just to finish my fries.

Probably the packaging company branching out into yet another type of individually packaged single-use plastic.

If your burger isn’t leaking juices out the back when you bite into it, I think there’s room for improvement.

If you want to be pedantic, WD-40 is a brand that also sells lubricant. And they advertise their general use WD-40 as several things including a lubricant. It’s not a good long term lubricant compared to oil or grease, but it is a lubricant.

No, no, it clearly states Russia can only fit inside itself multiple times if rotated INCORRECTLY. Like, opps, I fell through a 4D wormhole while rotating Russia.

It’s not quite the same thing, but Porsche has their eTurbo tech in road going cars now: porsche.com/…/porsche-explained-porsche-t-hybrid/
They’re effectively capturing exhaust gas energy straight into a battery, just with a different system.
- Comment on Science is iterative 5 months ago:
We actually do. F1 engine’s have something called the MGU-H that recovers exhaust gas energy and turns it into electricity that can be used to recharge the hybrid system: racecar-engineering.com/…/tech-explained-formula-…
Technically any turbocharger is doing the same thing except it’s hooked up to a compressor for the intake air instead of a generator.
- Comment on Servers go Brrrrrr 5 months ago:
I’m in the PNW and pay about US$0.17/kWh at home, but for the data center rates, they charge based on peak usage because that’s how they size cooling and generator backups. Guaranteed redundant power and networking is just a lot more expensive than residential power.
- Comment on Servers go Brrrrrr 5 months ago:
I’ve been measuring my server rack’s power usage, and it usually sits at around 500W with a 1U + 2U server (and GPU). My plan for the 1U has been to colocate it, but it’s an extra $25/month for each 100W increment, so I’ve been trying things like lowering the CPU power limit to save some money. Apparently turning my 200W EPYC CPU down to 150W barely makes a difference in my workloads, but that 50W is enough to save me quite a bit.
- Comment on Servers go Brrrrrr 5 months ago:
Probably closer to 800W based on OP’s usage.

I think a lot of it is humans are used to maps formed by tectonic plates shifting, glaciers forming and melting, storms and other weather, etc… When it’s just an RNG heightmap it’s missing all those familiar features like rivers, mountains, and dry lakebeds
