As it stands the turbine blades are pretty much peak athletes. There's extremely little room for less than the perfect material in the mega turbines.

A lot of people look at the mega turbines because the bigger the turbine is, it reallllyyy tends to increase the scale of power you can get.

Maybe there's some auxillary value not to overlook wood tree smaller turbines (maybe for land use where harder to do mega turbines?) But I would imagine the peak material performance issue will restrict lumber from the mega turbines


It's not entirely clear from a brief Google what behavior extinction is.

However, I don't really think this is particularly parallel let alone same as any sort of prescriptive process for reward/training which the brief search on Google suggested behavior extinction is about.

I'm not going to totally deny that there are any parallels between any behavior reinforcement mechanism m, but I'd sooner redirect to reading more about body keeps score before making the parallels to another concept (in this case)


Poster said power density, and I don't really believe theyre' right (see:a123 batteries, and now there are plenty of competitors)

However that's different than you're saying, which is about energy capacity.

I believe they are mistaken because many lfp replacement batteries have BMS units that are usually the limiter. But you can also buy lfp starter batteries


These are good ideas in my opinion, but somewhat came through to me as a little bit laden with judgement and negativity.

That might work well for you, but I have only been able to work on these things through a relatively shame-less perspective, and have found progress there. Just pointing it out there for anyone who like me may have kind of liked and disliked your reply


This is 100% not just you. Procrastination for many people in an avoidance mechanism of sorts related to anxieties.

New York times article on procrastination was pretty nice called "why you procrastinate"


A sponge is the inkwell you want :) micro-baffles


The incentives are that the person who discovered the previously oldest <12,000 island that defined their archeological site as the coolest site, tends to fight. That plus 3rd party dating and other solutions. Because sometimes there is not a lot to go off of for dating, I've also seen people complaining that samples aren't always shared. So it's not perfect for sure, but I'm noting there are still incentives in that system


Ultrasonics have been used for kidney stones for a while, too. But, this is something different as noted elsewhere


Alternatively oxidizing is the act of taking on the oxidative damage for you


Kind of like putting iron filings in ration packets to scavenge any residual oxygen... makes sense I guess.


Uhh, I think you mean legal criminal organizations. Which, you believe should be illegal.

I mean, maybe you meant illegal, in the sense that they are not always in clear legal status (e.g, NSA doing illegal things), but I think for the reader "legal criminal organizations" makes more sense to the point.

Another way to write it maybe would be "sanctioned criminal organizations" but that would be confusing with the secondary meaning of sanctioned. Oh language :(
