you don’t see a problem with giving money to cryptobros?

the other way around. you can post there so that other ai scraper will ingest it and include it in training data

i mean technically it’s possible, you can show someone lab i guess there’s nothing extremely dangerous, not sure how it works legally, but the process is rather boring and we’re talking about a place that stores literal tons of piss why would you go there

If these are supposed to be used as backup generators then gas turbines are a good fit in technical sense. Can start quickly, don’t need a lot of space or cooling, can work on partial load; lead times are somehow short, and you can just pack it all in containers and set up anywhere which seems to be important. The catch is that efficiency is probably just below 40% instead of 60% and slightly above for regular CCGT plant, thst is you need to burn extra 50%-ish gas (methane is cheapest fuel and can just be piped). about anything that burns and can be pumped through a nozzle can be used

Then there’s matter of smog. You’re supposed to put giant catalytic converter (sorta) on this thing and normal powerplants do just that. Apparently techbro oligarchs decided it’s not disruptive enough this way

but dw this won’t last, talking about bubble broke to the mainstream now

don’t let crackheads know about it

what kinda drug tests are we talking about here? i’m talking about the kind where you send piss sample and then get result, or in fact hundreds of results. you need to make sure all your paperwork is complete and lab is certified and so on because someone might say that results are legally invalid

the process is a bit more involved, samples need tracking and monitoring and storage and preparation, and if it’s like you describe then guy’s sketchy and won’t survive audit

to run drug tests you need six figure range machine (when new), maybe 5 euro worth of plastic (spe column, eppendorfs, pipette tips), couple ml of acetonitrile and maybe 5-7 min of machine time on average. it can run 24/7 and if you find anything you can do more detailed analysis. bro’s not earning shit, he’s paying down the machines (and maintenance)

e: no way i’m nerd-sniped this easily. you can get hplc-ms for 90ish grand, add milliq water purification system, solvent recycling system, lots of fridges, a couple of laptops and company server and various other equipment and we’re probably in 200k range, excluding lab building itself. then you’ll need, say, $5 of consumables per sample ($2 per spe cartridge), so we’re talking about $40 revenue minus material costs. wages: you’ll need something about four people to run this thing at full tilt, two lab workers, one (?) clerk, half time driver and half time it guy, if you pay everyone 15k/mo then you need to go through 100ish samples just to pay wages not counting rent utilities and debts. but you can probably run 200 per day per machine, 300 if pushing it, so the main constraint will be logistics. because most of lab is in place then adding another hplc/ms will be only 90k. 300 samples per day print 9k per day, if you can get these samples. that’s probably why he’s expanding

propaganda and advertising is one and the same https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pravda_network

it’s a flow battery, so it keeps charge basically indefinitely (when not in use energy-bearing parts are separated). you can run it as hard as you need and it will not degrade in use-dependent way, at least not as hard as lead or lithium batteries

to elaborate on durability, there’s no capacity loss with these batteries. so if design intention is to run these batteries from full to empty and back every day, and maybe a bit more* they can handle it no problem, because everything that happens, happens in liquid phase that can’t degrade. lithium battery will degrade fast with such usage, but this one won’t. on balance, there’s need for pump and electrolyser maintenance, but at least you won’t need to rip apart everything and replace all batteries every 3 years. per kwh per year of use it might be cheaper this way

* they might want this battery to provide energy in the morning, before solar panels kick in, soak up excess energy from noon peak, then discharge it in the evening. that might be 500ish cycles per year, and they can run it at full tilt

well that you can’t tell good from bad is a skill issue on your part then

inshallah in five years all of this horseshit will be distant fever dream memory

i like the 2y+ lead time

will pencil keep it wide open enough? the intention was to keep it slightly open, then put it in a bag and go around. years back when i had a laptop that shut down wifi with lid closed i solved that by taping a packet of instant ramen to palmrest for one evening

macos users have budget for these objects

depending on your build, putting an extra switch disconnecting lid switch could be a better idea because power management is hell on linux

it’s all slop

because it’s targeted at tools, too

and also, it would break the hinges in intended use, and as pictured it can’t work (doesn’t hold the lower half). pair of wedge shaped things would work much better, i think

keyboard is wrong way for the same reason

flights to east asia are much more expensive from europe, and the cheapest ones were with stopover in one of gulf countries (qatar or uae generally) now you can get direct lufthansa flight over polar circle, but you’ll pay
