cofnas got suspended for being a racist dipshit

It’s easier to freeze water than to cool rock borehole
3·13 days agoLithium-iron is about 2x more expensive, there might be different availability and energy use during manufacture is probably higher
Lead-acid batteries work if you don’t care about weight and lithium-iron phosphate if you do
there might be something in there, any short question about SPPS devolves into gratuitous nonsense mashing together standard peptide coupling conditions, sometimes from three different approaches or more (publicly available from reagent suppliers, there are many variants so most of info repeats) even when it’s not the right tool to use. The more obscure reagent or use case, the faster it devolves into word salad, even if there’s clear analogy to more common one. Which, to be fair, is to be expected
another one, How to initiate formation of Grignard reagent from alkyl bromide
- this is a reaction very strongly inhibited by water. product (grignard reagent) sweeps all water, which makes reaction faster, so if you dump all bromide in at once there will be nothing happening, then you get thermal runaway instantly and possibly magnesium fire. so the way to go is to make small amount at first, then go up from there slowly. generally you don’t need to try very hard as long as everything is dry; procedures given are cribbed from syntheses using aryl bromides, which might require some prodding, old ones of which used small amount of alkyl bromide as initiator which here is useless advice. Curiously this didn’t hit guardrails, as this led to many accidents when done by clueless people including meth lab fires
Before i hit usage limit, two different chatbots happily devised schemes for ESD protection for zener diode (it’ll be fine without, zener diodes are used for this)
on balance i’ve been banned on various sites that think i’m not human enough, permanently from mouser and intermittently from a couple of others including startpage (one day total). i guess i’m catching strays because of residential proxies. this must be this disruption ai boosters were waiting for

either way still works for me
Everyone will have an exceptionally capable personal agent that understands you, your goals, and everything you care about. Your agent will work 24/7 on your behalf to improve your relationships, health, career, finances, home management, hobbies, and more.
I don’t know if that man ever figured out what is the point of having a hobby

There’s plenty shore NPPs cooled with seawater so it’s at least partially solved problem, not that these are right people to solve it. Guess they’ll fail in disruptive and innovative ways. Seawater also only touches one side of heat exchanger, that is until it rusts through. The expensive things should have deionized water running through them
I bet that things will corrode anyway, because of sea spray

It ain’t over until Oracle implodes and Larry Ellison goes broke
Even then that’s extremely charitably assuming that this hypothetical productivity gain is put to good use, with ai-pilled management that’s just adding bloat 10% faster with a side of mindless tech debt
i think that poking a pressurized vessel is a bad idea in general, whether it is attached to a hostile robot or not. it’s gonna be LOUD and perhaps throw fragments, or take way longer than practical depending on what it was made from. (what if only one of two is damaged?) there are so many things that can go wrong with the alleged failsafe (what if pressure drops slower than designed?)
