DLwdTxdU6smHQAon ‘That girl is going to get herself killed’ (2022)

The same guy has a video called "The Most Dangerous Dams" [length 8:43]. It seems so be less technical and more focused on the dangerous aspects.

DLwdTxdU6smHQAon Does the world have enough lithium to move to electric vehicles?

I dont know how scalable this is, but Nio (electric car maker from China) are building automatic battery swap stations. See e.g. here (video is in German): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vv7OQofChbg

edit: I think it takes more than five minutes though, especially when you have to wait in line.

DLwdTxdU6smHQAon Does the world have enough lithium to move to electric vehicles?

sure. but it seems one third of the range seems too pessimistic according to those numbers.

> Sodium ion batteries are less dense than lithium have a third of the range

Got a source for the "one third" part? According to [1] and [2] lithium ion is up to 265 Wh/kg and sodium ion has 160 Wh/kg.

I dont think this is true. There seem to be many people that have (in some cases greatly) benefitted from a carnivore diet. Take Mikhaila Peterson as an example (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=znGkfrl_F5s).

Sounds like a relevant piece of information to me. Have you got any pointers/sources for this?

DLwdTxdU6smHQAon The Lethality of Loneliness

Is there anything positive for you about being in the public with your story? If it were all negative, why continue with it?

edit: this might sound judicial, which is not what i intend. What I want to say is: you do continue to be in the public - what is your motivation to do so?

DLwdTxdU6smHQAon Light Table reaches funding goal of $200k

I'm excited that the goal is reached. One thought: I just saw your "We made it" blogpost via planet.clojure.in. May i suggest that you post it as an update on kickstarter?

I think most people on kickstarter expect and enjoy when the project author "celebrates" the reached goal with them. In addition the news about the 2nd demo is remarkable.

Btw any forecasts as to when the demo is going to go public?
