I don't care where they go as long as it doesn't involve cutting trees down to do it. For every solar panel that goes up 1000 trees should be planted on old farmland that doesn't need to be used to grow corn to feed our addiction with the massive amount of cattle we think we need to raise and slaughter.

Huh? There was never any confusion in the post you're replying to.

Prions aren't just misfolded proteins, they are a misfold of a specific protein found in the brain. That being said, it could be argued that any disease involving a mutant protein inherently means that it is misfolded, because changing just one amino acid on a chain can affect how that protein folds, thus changing its shape. Shape determines function in nature. We don't have an explanation for why prions specifically are pathogenic while other misfolded proteins are not.

Edit: Amino, not nucleic

They have never been able to keep up with demand, that’s a constant.

You mean like CAD?

Maybe eyetracking and Foveated rendering could take advantage?

*with RTX enabled

Which is it? Did they price themselves out of the market or can they not keep up with demand?

Batteries have greatly improved in performance and cost, and we're deploying them at utility-scale. And chemical battery is far from the only form of storage.

Yes I'll take new proteins please, I'd like to have functional retractable wings some day lol

No, nuclear inherently is a complex, ponderous, costly technology. Unless there's a major breakthrough and someone invents fusion-direct-to-electricity, no steam plant involved, nuclear will dwindle and become niche.

So are they going to lower the price? They just raised it another $12k

I just want an electric vehicle that can tow more than 50 miles

Good luck with that.

80-70% of demanded/payed art is porn.

Many artists joke about how they sustain themselves by drawing strange fetish porn.

Thank god -- more screens!

Well, this is about them making more money because it's a lot cheaper. The result of the consumer is going to be a heavier vehicle. A heavier electric vehicle means less range Edit: On the other hand, for vehicles it will be used around town, like mail trucks, this will be advantageous despite weight, both because those vehicles do not go very fast, and because they will be subject to more charging cycles.

Must just be a materials change with the insulation of the wire in it. Looking at mine, I can't see a reason it couldn't handle 1000 V. The size of the pins is what concerns me as far as amperage.

Whatever, downvote away. I have one. I can see the cross-sectional size of the pins. I feel like the "V3" superchargers, which deliver around 700 amps through this connector, are really the practical limit. My car does not have this, but I can tell you that when interrupted during the highest amperage (about half of the above) parts of charging, the connector is warm. I can't see tripling as feasible.

Yeah, I didn’t say wait. But for long term and stability, it should be part of the solution. It’s issues are those of an industry competing with fossil fuels. With governments fully supporting the industry instead of hindering it for the fossil folks under various guises, it needn’t be as cumbersome.

How about they build my maverick that I've been waiting a year for.

I've been hearing that same bullshit for the last 20 years. We've been perpetually almost there sine the early 2000's. Molen salt was supposed to be the wonder battery then.

Efficiency and output are two completely different metrics. That being said, 33.6% efficient is pretty damn good considering there are no moving parts. The most efficient steam turbines are only about 45% efficient and that is modern technology. The ones in use today are right around 35%.

And when business starts to dry up? They still have the data. You can’t pay them because that’s only kicks they can down the road.
