QuantumScape is currently building the mass production line for a solid state battery and has been sending prototypes out to their auto manufacturer clients for testing.

This Undecided with Matt Ferrell video has a good breakdown.

Plastic production is also one of the dirtiest industries in terms of air and water pollution… I doubt China has strong enough environmental standards

Newman’s Own black tea, 100 ct. The 100ct is about the same price as a 20ct from name brands. The bags are wrapped in paper, not plastic. And 100% of profits go to charity

Edit: and it tastes better than other brands that sell 100ct like red rose or lipton

Dedicated bus lanes can have multiple times the capacity in terms of moving people compared lanes that allow cars. Say you got a six lane road in the suburbs, convert the center lanes in each direction to dedicated bus lanes, then have a small median/curb separating the bus and car lanes on both sides. This will make buses faster than cars because of the lower congestion and incentive people to use them, making car congestion go down as well, because people who would otherwise drive are now on the bus.

City Nerd has a great channel focusing on stuff like this on YouTube and Nebula

Thanks! This is the closest thing I’ve seen on Lemmy to an r/AskHistorians thread, wish we had more of that

$4,800 every 6 months is only $800/month. The OP pays $500/mo on insurance, let’s say $100 on gas a month, that’s only $200/month payment on the loan for an old used car. Car ownership is expensive, but it’s probably more common for the car payment to be $500/month and insurance to be $200/month. This doesn’t even factor maintenance

City Nerd has a few great videos on affordable places to live that have urban amenities, for example: https://youtu.be/1qzePci2N6E?si=dWq43GmzH5ObF1q8

Animals on average convert about 10% of the mass they eat into their own body mass.

Great video! Based on my smart thermo stat, I think my furnace is like 18x the size it needs to be and my AC is twice the size it needs to be. Been wanting to convert to a heat pump and ditch gas regardless… Maybe that $20k quote I got is a bunch of garbage

PSA: messing around with routes of administration for drugs is a good way to end up dead or in the hospital. Follow your medical providers’ instructions, if something seems off/not working ask your doctor for advice.

This thread needs more Stargate, those intros are basically a montage of the most epic scenes from previous seasons

Too bad justice can’t be this swift in the US

His ability to stay calm and in character is a super power

Good suggestion, thanks!

We did try pineapple as the other commenter suggested, but the one with the apparently tasty poop is a picky eater and wouldn’t eat pineapple

Tried it…

My dog will 100% of the time eat my other dog’s poop in the backyard and occasionally throws it up inside the house if we miss picking it up…defeats the convenience of having a backyard for them to do their business.
