How A Brick & Rock Battery Is Changing Energy Storage

newtboy says...

Ok. I like the concept….thermal mass as short term heat storage/release is a well established science.

Sadly calling bullshit when they claim converting electricity to heat is 100% efficient. Nothing is 100% efficient.
They also claim 98% efficiency “pulling the heat back out”…unbelievably high.
Noticeably missing were heat loss rates, both for capture and storage over time…both expected to be extremely high at temperatures of 1500C.

The second system boasting 80% efficiency (but why burning wood?) is more realistic, but the only 3% heat loss per day at 500C temperatures claim is not. No insulation I’ve ever heard of is that efficient.

Recycling industrial manufacturing heat seems smart, but I think they need to be honest up front about the real world expectations and uses. If it could cut the energy needed to bake limestone or melt steel in half, that’s great…please don’t imply it could cut it by anything approaching 97%. That makes me not trust it at all.

Jan 6 transcripts now corroborate through multiple sources the claim that in his rage over losing bigly, Trump ordered an immediate withdrawal from Afghanistan and Somalia by the 15th of January 2021 on Nov 12….a written order that was questioned immediately and quickly rescinded, but an order none the less.

So much for your idiotic lie that Trump would have handled the withdrawal better.
Trump released the Taliban from prison, negotiated his unconditional surrender to them without involving the Afghan government at all, allowed any actions by the Taliban as long as they didn’t directly attack Americans, and developed absolutely no plan for withdrawal. If we followed Trump’s plan, there wouldn’t be 12 dead soldiers, there would be up to 12000. There wouldn’t be nearly $7 billion in decommissioned broken equipment left, there would be over $70 billion of operational equipment left. There would also be 100x more Americans abandoned to the Taliban.

D’oh

Edit: McCarthy lost his 3rd vote for speaker….the first time in over a century it took more than one vote. The Democrat is closer to winning than any Republican. Lol! MAGA is eating the Republican Party, making sure nothing happens for 2 years before the blue ocean rises and sinks your hopes of more MAGA.

Today reports on Trump’s tax returns are revealing that Trump was in bed with the Chinese Government well before he ran for office, seeking lucrative development deals, paying $200k in Chinese taxes and $750 in US taxes and pocketing $15 million in a condo deal with a Chinese operative.
And don’t forget the $36 million in free patents Xi gifted Ivanka, and Trump’s secret Chinese bank accounts where they bribed him millions or more.

Once again, Trump accused Biden of being in bed with Gina because HE was in bed with Gina, and hid that by not releasing his taxes and faking an audit. More fraud, more lies, more accusations that are in reality, admissions of vastly worse criminality.
EVERY
SINGLE
TIME.
This is you guy. This you pick. 🤦‍♂️

Exactly the non-answer know nothing twaddle I expect from you, even when you are warned against such stupid vapid nonsense that only indicates you have absolutely no clue what you’re talking about, as usual, and are just regurgitating propaganda as best you can, which is pretty damn bad because you clearly don’t understand it.

Prices will go up….by 1/1400 of one cent per gallon? Little boy, you are such a troll with nothing to say….and you’re undoubtedly wrong as usual.

In total under Biden 180 million barrels have been released, most over the summers when prices spike. Under 16 days worth over 730 days. In Oct he announced the final release…10-15 million barrels, through the end of the year. .8 - 1.2 days worth over 90 days. Barely over 1% of demand maximum. If you think that dramatically changes prices at the pump, you’re dumber that you sound….which is unbelievable.

Meanwhile, oil company profits have tripled from pre pandemic levels after a few oil companies had 2 bad quarters in 2019- 2020. They recovered their losses and then some in 2021, 2022 they raked America over the coals, intentionally creating shortages while their profits skyrocketed.

https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/wrapup-global-oil-giants-rake-massive-profits-third-quarter-2022-10-28/

Tapping the strategic petroleum reserve was never about lowering prices, it was about showing he was trying everything to lower them as they rose worldwide faster than in America. It was a political show to stop the Cons from claiming he was doing nothing as they blocked every legislative move he tried. It would never make a noticeable difference by itself.

What will happen to gas prices, I expect they’ll continue to fall precipitously like they have since June because 1) our supply has returned to close to normal and 2) we are in winter, when natural gas price rises and gasoline drops EVERY SINGLE YEAR. Duh.

The quality of your trolling has depreciated noticeably since your numerous political and financial losses piled up. What’s wrong? Are your handlers too busy preparing their defenses, and looking for new networks, to spoon feed you today’s fabricated Con positions?

bobknight33 said:

Biden is using the SPR which has lower prices. by stopping its use prices will go up.
There is no long dissertation needed. It is simple supply and demand -little man



So what do you think?
When the SPR is depleted or stopped being used what do you think will happen to gas prices?

They knew and now we know the President knew

newtboy says...

Wow. The universe just loves to crush your conspiracy theories….today in Jan 6 evidence releases (internal texts) we learned that Trump’s claim that he tried to call up 10000 national guard troops that Nancy refused was actually referencing an internal whitehouse conversation where he was talked out of calling in 10000 national guard troops to protect him and the rioters from the police and liberals as they marched on the capitol, after which the secretary of defense went so far as to write letters to the national guard and military ordering that any troops deployed could absolutely not be armed, not have helmets, body armor, or any riot control gear, and could only act in self defense …sent out of the justified fear that Trump and his insurrectionist allies would use them anyway….something they did try to do even after the idea had been quashed in the whitehouse but the SOD wouldn’t answer their calls.

If that’s not evidence of knowledge and forethought, we have different definitions of the words.

bobknight33 said:

Who is in charge of capital security?
Who is charge of calling them up? McConnell and Pelosi ? The Sargent at arms?
This guy had foreknowledge and didn't do enough. Why.

But Lets get a group of Democrats, have a 1 sided hearing and blame Trump.

At what point did Trump say Lets Storm the Capital and take over ?

He never said / implied such a thing.

A Few Key Moments From The Jan 6 Committee

bobknight33 says...

January 6th committee to adjourn without fulfilling year old promise to release Epps transcript.

The one person on film telling people to go into the Capitol (multiple times) disappears from FBI list and is not even mentioned in the 845 page final report.

Witch hunt.

Trump’s returns out.
He CLAIMS he lost money 4/6 years. Paid no taxes those years. None. Including 2016 when he made tens of millions from his campaign that he did not fund.
Paid zero taxes 2020 but definitely “made” money (hundreds of millions in donations used for personal expenses).
Claimed tens of millions in exemptions for donations he claimed to have made with zero receipts or evidence, not investigated.
Trump hid his taxes claiming he was under audit and couldn’t. 1st, being under audit in no way stops a person from releasing his taxes and 2nd, he was not actually under audit….not even the mandatory audit every president is subjected to by law. It was 100% lies, no audit ever happened.

The entire “I’m under audit” claim was another lie.

He had an obligation to be audited, but he knew for certain he had stopped that process and no audit was happening.
The IRS NEVER audited his returns, despite the legal requirement to do so since 1977 and claims they were being audited. IRS refused to turn them over to congress as required by law. Now we know why, they prove he’s a massive tax cheat and horrific business man so he installed criminal lackeys to protect his image. They now claim they didn’t know there was any obligation to audit him (with absolutely no explanation why they lied) despite being told on camera dozens of times and claiming on camera dozens of times they were auditing his taxes.
More MAGA fraud and criminality from the top. More subversion for personal gain. Always from MAGA. It’s all MAGA is, crime and lies, treason and sedition, hate and fear. Absolutely zero redeeming qualities in the party at all, not a one.

Whistleblower Exposes Far Right Justices Corruption

luxintenebris jokingly says...

but then...

- Jan. 6 investigations
- stolen state secrets
- nefarious voting legislation
- Oath Keepers membership list

...all of those are BIG stories too.

covering all the Republican corruption sprees, is a bit like trying to get through a russian novel in a week.

the moment the pre-release of the Planned Parenthood v. Casey judgement BOTH sides of the political spectrum questioned if it was a conservative judge that did it. made FAR more sense that it would come from the right than the left. (notice how the investigation has seemly gone the way of the term WMD?)

fits.

incredibly creditable.

(unless you're 'right' minded. then you can't believe a man of the cloth. but then, even Jesus* hung around w/a motley crew.)

we might be weeks away from Blotto Biff being found, drunk, in a fountain w/a staffer and/or Coat hanger Amy being photo'd in an S&M dungeon. (Jerry Farwell, Jr in the background) - then, maybe then - it being kinky af, Fox would have to cover it (they love slime, even if it's slime on THEIR slime).

'til then you did get 3 votes. bob must have voted twice. out of habit.

Failed Assassination Of Pelosi/Husband Attacked In Home

newtboy says...

Oh no! Donny is so pissed at his humiliating defeats that he’s already saying if anyone runs against his losing candidacy he will sabotage the Republicans by releasing tons of secrets he knows about them.
He’s blackmailing your party to stay relevant, and is more than willing to take it down with him.
Enjoy.

P.S. turns out Trump is also being investigated for taking many of the official “gifts” he was given by other nations, thinking they were given to HIM, not the presidency. Of course, the law is absolutely clear about that, it’s true he may keep anything they gave him, but if it’s valued over $415 he must pay the entire value of the gift to the fed. Guaranteed he didn’t pay for any of the truckloads of gifts he stole. That’s going to be criminal theft/grand larceny of government property. Like he needs more problems.

What if Akira Was Animated At 60 Frames Per Second

spawnflagger says...

I think it looks worse. Part of "cinematic" experience is the traditional 24fps of films. Many TVs have a setting (motion interpolation - which seems to be ON by default nowadays) that creates a "soap opera effect", and I personally hate it. Some friends like it though, so everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

Looks like several movies were released in high frame rate, but I remember The Hobbit (2012)'s 48fps actually caused some movie-goers to vomit.

Abortion Ruling: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO)

newtboy says...

Today Trump ran to Thomas again to try to, once again, block his tax returns from Congress.

We need to expand the supreme court. Trump and co has doubled their workload!

Edit: big surprise, today the extremist far right Supreme Court again blocked the release of Trump’s taxes to congress.
There is absolutely zero legal reason to grant his request, the house ways and means committee has a legitimate constitutional reason to have requested/demanded them in 2018.
This is yet another unwarranted delay in hopes the Cons will retake the house and drop the investigation (they’ll be too busy investigating Clinton and Pelosi).

Failed Assassination Of Pelosi/Husband Attacked In Home

Tool.
Fool.
Sucker.
All your idiotic blatantly false talking points have already been not only debunked, but traced to their origins where they have been retracted. What was that you were saying about links that disappeared? Every accusation you make is an admission.
Try to find the origin of anything you said, because every detail I presented is still there with citations including exactly which officer released the official information.
Moron.
Gullibility incarnate.

Jesus, you really are the worst human being I’ve ever had the displeasure to talk with. Never an honest word or position from you, never an answer, only baseless misleading questions and pure lies every time. Shotgunning nonsense at the universe just to see if any will stick. You’re a real worthless waste of skin.

Trump just admitted Barron was really Ivanka’s love child he sired in an orgy with Epstein. It was twins, and he keeps the twin girl caged for sex on demand in his room at Maralago. Melania confirmed it’s true, and also confirmed that Trump paid her to keep quiet but is broke now so she’s talking. What about that news, bob? Why do you so love a public incest loving atheist pedophile unless you are one?

And some added MAGA culpability for you- On Sunday, Republican House member Tom Emmer of Minnesota faced questioning during an appearance on 'Face the Nation' about a tweet featuring him firing a gun and a hashtag on firing Pelosi he sent out days before House Speaker Pelosi's husband was attacked in their home.
