Compared to a single lithium ion? Probably a lot more.

Seriously though google says solid state batteries weigh 1/3-2/3 of lithium ion batteries for the same capacity depending on the source.

Anton is terrified of the sheriff? I don't think the two characters ever encountered each other. Anton might not have known that the sheriff was following him, except in the general sense that the police would be looking for him because of the messes that he left.

The obvious solution is to use Rust's upcoming "spaghetti checker" feature. Once the compiler decides that your code is too messy to be maintainable, it refuses to compile.

A lot of the free games also have DLC for sale. If you play the free game and enjoy it, odds are that it is cheaper to get the DLC on epic instead of buying the game and dlc on steam. No idea how often that works out for epic, but it's one way they could make money back from free games.

It mostly adds AI features. Last time I checked, Microsoft even tells you that there's no need to install it unless you just want to check out the AI stuff.

Nah if you only build a 2D structure, you won't have to worry about the water pressure because your structure will likely not be able to interact with 3D matter. It's genius engineering IMHO.

Surely climate change will make the planet uninhabitable before the ww3 ramps up

Sure, but I doubt very many people will get occupational exposure to CRTs these days. The days there might be a tiny CRT on an old oscilloscope, and some retro gaming/computing enthusiasts might have an old CRT but for most people it's likely not a concern.

I see your point that it was more of a concern in the past though.

Sounds like CRTs do produce some radiation but the amount it produces is marginal. Modern CRTs should have leaded glass which should substantially reduce the amount of X-rays you would receive.

The above article says 0.3 microS/hour which is less than one tenth of the radiation you get from an hour of flight, or about 10 hours of sun exposure.

So it looks like you will get radiation exposure from CRTs but it is not much higher than background radiation. Bring sedentary for hours in front of a CRT TV is probably worse for you than the radiation you would get from the CRT.

I remember Zune did not play well with Linux at all. One time I plugged my Zune into a Linux laptop just hoping to charge it. From that point on, until I plugged it back into a Windows PC, the Zune would play one song then skip the next two. As in track 1, 4, 7, then roll over to 2, 5, 8, etc.

That was the only problem I had with my Zune though, RIP Zune, you were the best.

Oh wait except for the leap year glitch. Microsoft apparently didn't think people would still use Zune in 2008 so all the Zunes stopped working for the duration of the leap day lol.

Interesting article, I've never read about how nuclear batteries work.

In general, nuclear batteries produce just microwatts or even nanowatts of electricity.

Seems like you could use energy harvesting techniques here and not have to worry about the (probably small amount of) nuclear waste left after 20 years. Especially now that we have Wi-Fi networks everywhere now giving off free energy.

Wow these "lightweight" bikes are 50-60 pounds. I'd be worried about hitting bumps on a carbon frame with that much weight on it. Are most ebikes carbon frame now?
