New EV supercars are using similar axial flux motors. I was hoping someone would come up with this because spinning the axles directly with wheel mounted motors seems like a much easier retrofit than replacing the engine and gear box. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICTi2Z_X5Kw

As others have said, pumped storage is dependant on geography but it's great where available. I have high hopes for compressed CO2 storage or molten salt storage. Flow batteries are promising as well, there's just so many emerging technologies it's hard to keep track of them all but I'm rooting for the ones that use abundant cheap materials that can retrofit into existing retired coal plants. If you stick a molten salt core where a coal plant was it can heat steam for the existing turbines and substation and transmission infrastructure.

there are free online lectures out there like MIT open courseware, i've rewatched some classes that i got fuzzy on. Also specific concepts may be better explained on youtube by like organic chemistry tutor or 3 blue 1 brown.

I have not paid to retake a class though.

I want to start seeing this stuff on buildings: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDRnEm-B3AI

tldw: ultra white meta material paint that reflects infrared into space at a frequency that doesn't get absorbed by the atmosphere.

those people suck. some people enjoy the pain i guess but shitting on others is dumb. Arch is pretty great but the fan base is insufferable. I use arch btw.

ugh, I'm glad i've moved on from IT but I've had many arguments with 'security managers' about some bogus qualys findings. If the CVE is that a user could do a thing in an unexpected way, but they have permission to do the thing that is a bug not a vulnerability. IMO It's only a vulnerability if someone that is not allowed to do something can do the forbidden thing.

Well, you have all the information in the world at your fingertips but here:

I guess that myth is pretty easy to explain.
