A little of many, and a lot of a few.Probably pretty similar to you.

  • You might be describing orthostatic hypotension. Does it occur when you move after a long period of staying still?

  • If they can scale I could imagine them making good battery arrays. The largest batteries in the world are not a chemical batteries currently however. Think 20-40 GWh vs 400 MWh (at a cursory search) being the largest current chemical battery arrays. Pumped storage plants can't be built everywhere, and are massively huge infrastructure projects, but as we switch more and more to solar energy we are going to need to make it through the nights somehow. They currently are often used to provide grid stability by discharging during peak hours, and buying cheap power to pump water back up during peak production/lowest demand when electricity is cheapest. This works especially well already with many renewables, including wind farms when you don't have control over production. If they can build sodium ion battery arrays cheaply enough though, pumped storage plants could maybe just be obsoleted.

  • I had heard about the medicine thing actually. When the use case actually lines up with what it is, it makes sense as a tool. It's that old adage though "When you have a hammer, everything looks like a nail."

  • Yeah and sodium ion batteries aren't solid state yet either I don't think.

  • Probably actually lichen. They can grow without soils and indeed are a precursor to soil. No alien planet without life is going to have soil in it because soil is a living thing.

  • I use ground turkey instead. Its under 2 dollars a pound if you buy it frozen. Doesn’t do all the things ground beef does but you can still make spaghetti without going into debt.

  • Myanmar is now one of world's top producer of opium post-Afghanistan decline. Despite myanmar having direct borders with China and India , I can't find any drug crises there unlike fentanyl in US?

  • I wonder if doctors in China/India have more scruples about prescribing opiates. Here in the U.S. they give them to you for just about any amount of pain, weather you asked for them or not. They have given me opiates after I specifically told them I won't take them because of the side effects. The treatment of pain here in the U.S. is stuck in the 1950s.

  • I have a 20 year old car. This January I had to replace the control arms (bushings were shot), CV axels, and steering knuckle assembly. I did this all myself, to save a few thousand in labor (not joking, thats what one of my friends is paying a shop right now for just the brakes.) Still the price of those parts added up to just under 600. For that budget I could go out and buy a veritable fleet of used bikes from garage sales. Tune them up with tools on hand and a few spray cans of Degreasers and Teflon lubricants they wont even sell you in Europe, and never run out of bikes to ride again in my life. The thing is, I still own a damned car. I resent that I own a car. I won't try to argue that a bike has more utility than a car because it would be impossible. However, I will argue to the end of a time that a bike is more utilitarian. We all just don't live the kind of lives that are compatible with the slower speeds, more difficult travel that a bike requires outside of inner city travel.

  • My point is that bikes are so much cheaper to maintain in the long run that even if you were doing the same miles, it would come out far cheaper. Just because you have a car that has been cheap to maintain, doesn't change the simple math of that problem. The average price of bringing your car to the shop once could buy you multiple used bikes from garage sales.

  • That’s your fault for buying a gary fischer bike. Thats like owning a british leyland sports car and complaining that none of the local shops have parts for it.
