And where are those mining machines that allow this to occur manufactured? How about all the components of the mining machines? The locomotives that take all that iron ore to port?…

How do you make a cubic football roll?

They may get reused, but the data shows that: * Sales of bin liners (for example) do not significantly increase when single use plastic bags are banned * Plastic bag litter is sign…

Worse in one specific regard, yes. And they agree with you in their conclusion, saying dust during processing is likely a factor. You can see the full study here: https://onlinelib…

Studies looking into the issue have found non silica compounds cause issues too, and its the engineering process rather than the silica that causes the problem. This is why they ha…

This is actually completely reasonable and a positive for the energy grid. Large industrial energy users who can switch off when needed make the grid stronger, not weaker. To illus…

The flip side of that is you can use control of all those high wattage devices to prevent power outages by shifting load to times when more energy is available. Hopefully, that's h…

Perhaps a more accurate headline would have been this buried deeper in the article "The US worked through Third World countries and fake companies and finally was able to ship the …

The power requirement at cruising speed would quite a lot less than max power would it not? If cruse consumed 60% of max you'd be using closer to 80kW which would give you over 2 h…

"A FWD EV shouldn't suffer from torque steer." The torque steer in my FWD EV (BYD Atto) is horrendous. Sure its possible to use clever engineering to manage it, but just switching …

Wouldn't this apply to other continents too? Given for example Vancouver Island is part of North America, then North America (the island, not the continent) would qualify as it too…

They are not part of a continent, but simply islands (well, groups of islands). Some definitions would include them as part of Oceania.

A quick scan of the Zeppelin list on wikipedia shows that significant proportion were lost after being hit by enemy fire. For example: LZ 20, 21, 22, 23, 28, 29, 32, 33, 34...

If you account for the electric generation and distribution losses, you should do the same for gas. "It does cost more to run an appliance than to heat with gas." That's highly dep…

"In Australia a 6.6kw system with 5kw inverter runs about 3500-4500AUD installed and grid connected." *after subsidies.

Every life is lost eventually, all we have along the way is personal experiences.

You're in luck, the BYD Dolphin should be launching soon in Australia for <$40k and probably 300km range.

> All other outstanding fees, such as tips, will be reviewed as part of the administration process. Pretty low to withhold tips from their contractors.

Crypto.com claim the entire amount was returned: "All funds were returned. We have single digit USD million balance on Gate as of now." https://twitter.com/kris/status/159161051124…

$1 000 * $5 000 = $5 000 000 $250 000 first year and $52 500 in following years = 91 years until the money runs out. Of course there is no doubt other costs involved, but you'd mak…

I carry a couple of prussik loops primarily for abseil backup, but have also used it to recover from a fall off an overhang when seconding. The leader was far enough away they coul…

Aspect ratio also has an effect. Squarer phones have more surface area at a given screen diagonal. A 'smaller' screen can actually be larger in area. Take the 5.7 inch note 3 menti…

Probably a roughly similar amount to what is created building a nuclear, or any other, power station. What's your point?
