Do we actually need a battery in every day life that will last millennia?

I mean if a batter lasts 10 years, it’s going to be completely out of date by that time and we will have batteries that are the same weight and size but hold 10 times the charge.

It’s the same as fusion energy. Now we have solar and wind, by the time it’s successfully built, it will be completely useless. Useful only for a few very limited use cases,

You've started, that's awesome.

Don't worry if sometimes you can't, you'll soon be able to add more and more, but it's these first few years that add the big amounts in 40 years.

It never matters how often you stop only that you always start again when you can.

There seems to be some hard limit on co-operation.

It’s easy to find a team of 10 that all co-operate. You can even have a team of a couple of hundred co-operate to say… build software. You can even have a team of a couple of thousand get together to build aircraft.

But once you get above that number, it seems that humans cannot agree on an outcome and co-operate.

It breaks down at the lower level with violent crime and antisocial actions, and it breaks down at the top levels with corruption and massive greed.

Because people that are going through a separation are often completely unreasonable and simply want to hurt the other person.

In the end, all they do is to cost themselves far more in lawyer fees than if they’d just been reasonable in the first place.

Your TV is almost 130cm wide.

I don’t know where you are from, but studs are usually 60cm centres.

You should be able to span 3 studs with that TV. If you are talking about the TV wall mount, put a bracket on first that spans more than one stud and holds the TV wall mount.

…but even one will hold your telly if you get a coach screw a couple of inches into it. But it won’t hold your telly if you either screw into the side of the stud and it splits, or you only put a pissy little screw into the stud.
