taiwan (?) gets this well, as far as you can get death penalty well. prisoner is sedated with injectable benzos and then shot, no pain, no consciousness at all, very hard to fuck it up and no pretence of subtlety

pharmaceuticals manufacturers won't sell you this stuff, this already happened with lethal injection

Houthis are funded by SA and Iran.

houthis are at war with saudi arabia for better part of last decade, and more broadly for almost three decades. it's a part of proxy iran-saudi conflict

They are attacking because of Israel’s genocidal treatment of 2 million people in Gaza

they are attacking because iran told them so. houthis, like hezbollah, are iranian proxies

Russia tried to shoot down a RAF jet last year

and turks shot down a russian jet couple of years ago, and ultimately also nothing happened

Why didn’t they do an emergency recall to put the decision before Congress and HoC? They are playing with fire and they know it.

bs. airstrikes are easy and low-risk, the real, permanent solution to this problem would be boots on the ground and/or high intensity airstrikes on iranian weapons manufacturers. neither are gonna happen, but airstrikes provide that "something is being done" vibe

since when saudis or iranians have nukes?

it's not, it's just institutional inertia

it's more of continuing series of AI hype

[-] missing_forklift@sh.itjust.works 2 points 8 months ago

you would know that if you read the article. they replaced part of lithium in electrolyte with sodium, so that they can use less lithium. the problem is decreased ion mobility ie less power density in real life terms.

Baker and Murugesan both say that lots of work is left to optimise the new battery.

bet

i'm gonna mostly ignore this finding because it sounds like extension of AI hype. real lab work is still absolutely critical in order to make it work

it took 9 months of lab work (by actual skilled material scientists) to make it tick, don't hold your breath

yes you can do this, however notice: this is wasteful as you have to run pump and heat from steam condensing is not recovered. You can heat up incoming water with condensing steam - this is called vapour recompression distillation. alternatively you can use heat pump to move heat around

what are you talking about, because moonshine manufacture is not steam distillation and you can't exactly distill off anything psychoactive this way. this is only really useful for fragrances and please don't use this bs in modern lab this is 100+ years old technique, it's an unbelievable mess, vaccum pumps and column chromatography exist please and thank you

factually correct, as long as you have enough lemon peel you can steam distill limonene from it. it's so cheap in citrus producing countries it's used as a paint stripper. and yes it's pretty flammable

you mean specifically "people with ADHD", i assure you that you won't see this response from someone with anxiety disorders
