Honestly, the big advances this decade are going to be:

- 300 wh/kg LFP
- Expended Manganese battery development
- Large scale Sodium-Ion deployment

Solid State is end of decade, this is where the big 'game-changing' stuff comes from now, like Sodium-Ion performance in extreme cold.

Widened my DIY planer cart. It was too top heavy.

Did I really need to do this? No.

Did I have more important projects? Yes.

Can you procrastinate while actually doing stuff? Most certainly.

There’s a non-zero chance Trump pockets the donations, stiffs the construction company, and the East Wing of the White House just sits, partially demolished and covered in blue tarps for the next 3 years

I Remember Grandpa (Ojiichan) My first recollection of my paternal grandfather was when I was six or seven years old. It was on my Uncle Tom’s farm that I saw and remembered him as a wizened, wrinkled old man. He seemed to tower over me. As a youngster, I only recalled this gentle old man having joy in entertaining …

John Sunada shares his memories with his grandfather for his Nikkei Family story. The Sunada family all lived on a 40-acre farm growing up, sharing many family stories thanks to his grandfather's wisdom and hard work.

Ada Lovelace used mathematics to design the world’s first algorithm intended for a machine. This was done decades before computers were even built!

18 DCFC and 18 LVL 2 chargers.

That's it. We need states not California to build out massive amounts of new charging infrastructure, and it's high time they phoned CA and our Cities to see how we have kept up with the rest of the world.

San Diego's adding 4,000 additional LVL 2 chargers by 2030.

Did You Know Los Angeles Had Horrible Air In 1975
YouTube video by David Hoffman Did You Know Los Angeles Had Horrible Air In 1975

I'm old enough to remember cars spewing blue smoke and factory stacks covering neighbors in soot fallout.

As a kid, descending down the grapevine into the thick chemical smog would make my eyes immediately burn.

But hey, it's all a liberal hoax!!!

First time trying my TIG welder. I bought it months ago. Quickly learned I have zero motor skills with my lazy left hand. Must learn to feed TIG filler rod. Must learn to do the foot thing too. Rub tummy, pat head.

Let's be social!

I can't recall if we talked in detail before, but I'm Scott from Chicago.

From 2020 - 2024 I was all about building home robots, but since the beginning of this year, all my hobby-time has been spent making computer game.

I grew up in a rural area and I never understood cities. Having moved to a big city in my late 30’s I’ve come to love it here. In Oakland! The big scary city the news loves to hate. Being close to so many people and riding my bike for transportation are such a boost to my life. And nature is nearby!
