The best place for a dispensary is across the road from the retirement home.

Reply to comment by SoylentRox in Scientists lower price of lithium's best competition - flow batteries - by 20%. Makes the battery effectively equal to or cheaper than lithium ion when spread over 30 years (flow battery lifetimes are effectively infinite with light repowering efforts). by PorkyPigDid911
LFP? Like lithium iron phosphate?
Don't we need phosphate to grow food?
Sodium seems really plentiful, though. im excited about those.

I'm a drafter. All the time I get offered jobs that require an engineer.

I took a flight to San Antonio last year for work, I was only there for three days and I couldn't sleep, or relax, and I barely had an appetite.

You saying good things about your parents is a horrible take based on your own personal experience.

What? No. My wife is the source of everything good in my life. I started dating her 15 years ago yesterday and that's the dividing point in my life where everything started to get better. She's kind, she's compassionate, she's the best therapist I could ask for. She's beautiful, she has striking blue-green eyes, a little nose, and skin so clear that people assume her pictures are photoshopped. When she is in the room, there isnt anything else around, there is only Her. She's completely uninhibited in bed, and the only times we aren't trying to undress each other after going to bed is when we're recovering from the last time we undressed each other.
I'll never stray from her, there is no other woman who can give me what she has. Since I've been married to her my life has felt like a fantasy, some wonderful dream that I'm worried I will wake up from. I don't deserve someone so wonderful, but she loves me and I will make sure every moment I can to be good enough for her.

There's a woman I've known since 2002. She changed my life for the better.
Because she helped me so much, for a long time I didn't see the red flags. After a while I noticed that she only wanted me around when I'd found someone else. I met my wife in 2007, and my wife is 200% amazing, loving, caring, beautiful, and this goofy woman I met in 2002 was hysterically trying to get herself involved... always needing my help with little repairs around her house, always trying to be close. When I finally made up my mind to just cut this woman out of my life, everything got better. It took a while to get her out of my head. Having a lovely, supporting wife made all the difference.

There is only one good picture of my brother in existence, or at least just one picture of him as an adult. He takes introversion to an entirely different level.

Where I live there's some company like bird or lime that has a bunch of scooters. Sometimes I see them broken and thrown in the ditch, maybe they have a battery I can use...

That's perfect, I can just parallel a few of those together and I'm good to go.

I have a big brushless DC motor from an electric lawnmower that is begging to be put on something. I've got the controller figured out, but then I look online and see people building these battery packs by spot welding tons of cells together that they've taken out of discarded laptops or whatever, and I just lose motivation.

I messed around with motorized bikes using ICE engines back in the late 2000's, always wanted to do an electric one... but the prices of batteries and speed controls always put it out of sight. Are batteries that much cheaper now?

I've got a brand new pair of 12x50 binoculars and I've been itching to use them for something like this... they aren't as good as a real telescope but I want to see how they do anyway.
