  • Power being priced negative is awesome. We need more of it imo, make energy so abundant that it makes processes that were previously too energy-intensive viable, and enables a massive increase in both residential and grid storage capacity.

    My opinion is that Na-ion batteries are the way for bulk grid storage and apartment/home storage nya.

    They use hyper abundant materials and are now reaching the point of decent endurance, and if you arent bothered by them being heavy (as is the case for grid and residential storage), they’re fairly comparable to Li-Ion without the usage of relatively rare Lithium.




  • The link is to a court filing with the UN.

    And its not just the actions, its the statements by Israeli figures, which aren’t related to the PA/are easily externally verifiable.

    They clearly demonstrate intent and action for genocide, and the most significant aspects like razing half of Gaza to the ground, bombing “”“safe zones”“” (which are already essentially force mass migration, and what about people who cant evacuate), preventing even the most basic access to food, water, electricity, healthcare, etc. are easy to see.

    If you want more named sources, perhaps consider that Israel apparently loves to prevent journalistic entry and also bomb journalists in Gaza <.<

    And we all know what Israel’s statements are. “Everything is a Hamas base, so lets use masses of high yield bombs in highly urbanised areas while deliberately bombing the zones we pretended were safe, and our officials cheer on mass slaughter of civilians while claiming no person in Gaza can be considered a civilian and comparing them to animals or filth to be removed”










  • “Chemicals” are actually good and based when they make food have better taste, texture, and preservation qualities, especially when they are used to make things that replace environmentally destructive and more fatty or sugary alternatives - increasing agricultural efficiency and by-proxy reducing land use and runoff -and especially when the fact they’re “artificial” means they actually get tested for negative health effects . nya

    Also low sugar plant milks are very common, just drank some unsweetened soya milk right now and it was good shit ;p

    Often they are only sweetened to appeal to people accustomed to high-sugar dairy too. I started on sweetened soya milk then moved to unsweetened after a bit. Feels good to have less sugar in your diet, in general .


  • It’s actually surprisingly easy to do on a OnePlus 5T. I did it after cleaning out the port wasn’t good enough anymore (my phone was bought secondhand/refurb, and I also recently replaced the battery too . - overall the cost of both endeavours including the cheapo kit to get the thing open in the first place was on the order of £25, though I did lose the two screws for the USB port that connext it to the bottom, still works fine with the other two internal screws though 🤣).

    Eventually secondhand parts will stop being available on ebay, but for now its all good ;p. Though if your screen breaks it’s probably not worth it to replace, that part alone seems to be half the secondhand-price of a lot of phones all on it’s own >.<
