Most of the natural gas distribution network is natural gas powered, and what electric equipment exists generally has backup electrical generation equipment. It’s designed to operate independently of the electric grid, and is far more reliable.

LFP batteries are safer than NMC. But LFP batteries can still catch fire, explode. They can’t be extinguished with water. They produce very toxic gasses. In the event of a structure fire, they remain in place, while a building’s gas supply can be turned off.

Right now everyone is installing enormous batteries everywhere with little concern for fire hazard. My suspicion is that as the number of fires, and death toll, climbs, we’re going to see increasingly strict regulations on large batteries, ultimately outlawing everything from power stations to electric cars from multi-unit residential buildings.

Still doesn’t make much sense, though.

Induction stoves are $1000. 5kwh of batteries are $500, retailing around $2000 in the form of a power station. So, let’s call it $3000 total. The Copper Charlie goes for $6000. That extra $3000 is enough to have a 240v circuit installed by an electrician.

Currently they have gas stoves that can cook for 12+ hours of a 12+ hour blackout…

The only reason to be here, instead of Reddit, is because you have wingnut opinions and an abrasive personality that prevent you from posting on Reddit without being banned.

Just hope they tell you?

No, no. That is too unreliable. You can tell whether they got a raise by the odor of their farts. It’s unmistakable.

So cool. It’s like when I play Red Dead Redemption in black and white to experience what the world was like before color was invented.

Two weeks is an ordinary time for refrigerated pasteurized milk. If you’re used to a shorter timespan, either your milk is unpasteurized, inadequately refrigerated, or you’re at the end of an inefficient distribution chain.

The contents are under pressure

You buy carbonated milk?

From the look of it, I’d say that the distance from the window to the bus stop doubled. The perceived sound level of people at the bus stop would have declined by 75%. Which could be the difference from lying in bed, able to clearly hear the conversations of people waiting at the bus stop, to an imperceptible murmur of background noise.

These sort of minor changes are not frivolous, they can have a huge impact on the quality of life for someone.

Unethical LPT: tell the colleague you find most difficult to work with, that you make far more money than you do. If they succeed in getting a raise, you’ll have an easier time getting one, too. If they fail, you know not to bother, and the difficult person will likely leave or be fired soon.

They’re not scared of Vance, yet. That’ll change when he murders Miller to consolidate power.

He also race mixed

If you’re going by Nazi standards, Vance’s wife is a lower Aryan, and Trump is the race mixer with his subhuman Slavic whores.

If you’re going by traditional American WASP standards, none of them are white.

Vance doesn’t need Trump’s cult, he doesn’t need to win any elections. He’s the chosen figurehead for the Catholic neo-feudalists that are using Trump to take over, and is already in place to succeed.

It’s the same in English. Menstruation, month, and moon all derive from the Ancient Greek word for the moon.

I have a Peugeot Kronos and a Bellman CX-25, which I exclusively use during power outages. Otherwise it’s the bean blender and the drip machine.

this is why English is a bad choice for a lingua franca

That conclusion doesn’t follow, unless you further append something like “Lernu Esparonton!” to indicate you have a misguided belief that language needs to make sense to be useful.

Insect trap. Used to see what kind of agriculturally harmful insects are in the area, for appropriate pesticide application. To do general surveys of insect populations. To monitor the spread of specific invasive insects.

Where I live, if they’re put up as part of some sort of government or university program, they’re usually labeled with who’s responsible for them and what they’re looking for.
