Seems like everyone is answering “cuisine” instead of ingredients. All of France beats 1/6th of Italy. Bread making is France and India. But Canada has all the recipes and ingredient quality from all over the world.

If sourcing ingredients is the question, G more than D, if grown outdoors, but G has negative geopolitical support, and ingredients can be grown indoors in H. F is where coffee and cocoa come from, and I have addictions.

One reason for this is hurricanes are more frequent, and sometimes the notice level is too short to have safe evacuation from Miami through highway systems. There has been anger over deaths from evacuation, when a storm warning did not destroy as many homes as was “hoped”/feared.

Racial supremacist preferred narratives favour suppressing evidence that Polynesians could navigate larger Pacific before Europeans could navigate Atlantic. But simply artifacts predate the “land bridge theory timing”

4 out of 5 lemmings agree: “These words flow through my head like the sun’s rays.”, though all of them just liked the pretty anal bead.

the more is “purchase recommendations”. but help with completing a single player game is something that would replace google.

For those not yet genetically engineered to have awareness of literature…

Gattaca offered the hopeful promise of profit maximization through mass production of genetic engineering, though it’s unclear if government subsidies helped with the profit maximization.

Time will certainly create political pressure to make the bestest babies for the races who deserve the bestest babies. Maybe that does mean no medicaid coverage.

The strongest case for only ultra rich having access, is that it’s just a status symbol. AI and robotics will do all the work, so why be smart or fit? How smart do you need to be to just support fascist genocide? Being smart is only a path to considering human needs above fascist supremacist needs as a path to sustainability, with sustainability considered of value. Stupidity far more useful to near term “theft profitability with no consequences” of fascism.

Trump’s Right Wing Billionaire Buddies

Zionist supremacist oligarchs who are heavily involved in election financing in cooperation with Israel Lobby that directly manages loyalty oaths to Israel from every Federally elected official. Zionists supremacists shifted heavily to Trump this cycle, with DNC funding paying them to lose for the most Zionist supremacist election outcome.

Media bending over backwards to not call it what it is, is clear and direct result of bipartisan submission to ZIonist supremacism.

Proof that this purchase is entirely to enforce Zionist supremacism, is that this group will overpay with licensing fees in order to add their layer of censorship on opposition to genocide, and humanizing people resisting genocide and supremacism. The buyers don’t care about making money from purchase, and will be proven by deal structure.

As backdrop on Larry Ellison, his wealth grew over $100B last week on the most fraudulent BS in the history of finance. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/why-openai-300-billion-deal-150815377.html

Open AI, who loses money on $10B in annual revenue, has promised (non binding) Oracle $60B/year for GPU/datacenter services for next 5 years. Oracle has yet to even think about how it would fulfill this revenue, and Open AI has no way whatsoever of paying for it. Open AI models are not particularly cost/quality competitive relative to Anthropic (or Gemini/llama) or Deepseek/other Chinese open models. OpenAI’s future and this Oracle contract, depends on it getting the US military contract for Skynet.

Should you short Oracle in the face of this? Of course not! Zionist supremacist oligarchs in the US are the chosen people, and above criticism.

It’s been a while, but in general based on having too much solar tilted +15 from latitude to maximize winter production, and relying on 14 sun hours/week as a minimum, even if 20 -22 would be expected average. While solar has fixed bs/costs, an extra 300w is fairly cheap, and adding to that often less expensive than more btu (or kwh) storage, or more insulation. Monetizing summer surpluses into crypto (back then) or gpu dataserver rental, also means never having too much solar. Full ROI on all solar, compared to overdoing it on heat storage.

In 25 years time will batteries be cheap enough for us each to have a MWh in the loft?

At $20k/$30k per mwh would make 100 kwh $2-$3k. 100kwh would still be more than you need, and so it is pretty affordable now.

There are some cheap/“bad discharge rate” chemistries like iron air. They’d be too heavy for loft, but could be foundation walls or crate in your back yard. Not a technology likely to be mass produced enough, and shipping costs very high.

What does the world look like when every home has the ability to be energy self-sufficient using solar?

We were at this point in 2019. The raw materials are 1/3 the price today. 100kwh is already more than you need. Corruption of tariffs, and artificial price barriers by electric monopolies and their regulator minions inflate prices in our countries.

Flooding levels updam is a concern (but not for Hoover) in general. Yes, daily/weekly flow rate downstream is also a concern. But not hourly flow rate.

But there are sensible paths to going off grid. Why you would write about an impractical fantasy path was my puzzlement.

I did math for Toronto, Canada. 2000l of hot water was enough (2m³). Winters here have gotten cloudier from great lakes warming. Instead of more water as a buffer, dirt is much more space efficient, and just needs the hot water routed through it to get heat transfer.

The volume looks more like a room than a box, unless you can somehow make it molten that is

If hydronic heating system was already being directed towards outer walls instead of straight up from water storage, then a tall “hot dirt” storage, and dual cold water mixing valves (pre and post dirt flow) next to each other, it’s less in additional storage costs per heat unit than water, though it does use more electricity to input heat compared to heat pump.

No need for temperatures higher than melting/softening point of copper to get useful heat storage for a home. Just water can be enough if you have the room.

Ok, to be polite, you were just mistaken in portraying a 1 mwh battery as a reasonable idea. It is just so absurdly stupid that motives for the proposal need to be looked at. I accept your admission of stupid instead of evil.

they use heating. I should of just said heating.

Yes. Hydronic flooring is cheap at construction time. Complicated if drilling into finished ceilings/floor with thicker under floor space making. But instead of 9kw of winter electricity you are forced to import, it is free fall surplus generation. 100w of pump circulation.

But you are saying, a resistive boiler made more sense than a heat pump, with the hydronic floor conversion. At first I thought you were just saying resistive heating electric floor. The latter, to me, would be the cheapest capital outlay conversion, and then a heat pump would beat a resistive boiler on operation costs if hydronic.

Did you investigate all of these alternatives?

hmmm… I was going to go with continuum mechanics as that seems made up. Maybe Euler contributed something to Lagrange.

Not sure they were incapable of improving, but they were definitely behind everything else, especially on drivers.

The likely result of this is licensing NVIDA for igpu design. Seems anti competitive, but should catch up to AMD, and better for consumers as long as AMD not killed by it.

High rise apartment buildings have a challenge with pumping water up more than 3-5 floors. This can be solved with intermediate storage on floors, but for high rises, forced air is the usual solution. Heat storage still works well enough with forced air, but water is much better due to internal piping through heat source, where air volume is harder to do there, and if gaining heat from outer shell, then insulation meant to keep heat in is not as good at heat transfer. Water is most perfect heat fluid in world. Air not so much.

And a lot of whoooshing in the walls just when using hot water.

This doesn’t apply for heat delivery. Tends to be continuous. A faucet is different.

That scales down to the home level easily. Box filled with cement dust, dirt, sand, gypsum, gravel is all free material. Water gets more heat lift from heat pumps, but can’t store as much heat in a volume as dirt. Both are highly complimentary, because delivering hot water to everywhere in a home is efficient, quiet, dust free, heat. But if you are lucky enough to have centralized option, that is easier.
