I’m not an expert but it’s probably safe to say that practical batteries are limited by materials, not physics. A given battery chemistry has a maximum theoretical specific energy (energy per kg) but we don’t come close to that in practice. We can get several times more energy into a lithium ion battery than we do but we’d have more car fires. We’ll do better. We’ll develop better materials, new chemistries, safer implementations.

Amazon will refund you every time. They give no fricks. There are various reports around the ether that they are destroying hundreds of thousands of packages a week.
I can’t speak to the veracity of the reports but it aligns with my experience of delivering packages for them. They have no contingency plans for obvious situations like people passing away. They literally do not care about waste on that level.
They have such a stranglehold on product inventory that it is actually logical for this kind of waste to happen.
William’s victory over James and the subsequent Protestant Ascendancy are celebrated by the Orange Order.
These guys don’t even accept Protestants married to Catholics as members. There are yearly marches in various places in Ireland and Northern Ireland on the 12th of July, which have often been flashpoints for sectarian violence. I was in Derry for it one year.

I learned something random today. If you are an iPhone and iPad user you can simply cut and paste back and fourth seamlessly. Cut something from one go to other and hit paste. It’s pretty cool.
No you can follow the link right through to Bloomberg’s website.
This one was easy

We had a similar one a few blocks from my house.
Simona Wilson could not have been much happier in her south Redondo Beach home until the day earlier this year when a new shower was installed in her master bathroom.
Her life since has included an agonized series of trips to emergency rooms and doctors as well as the recent relocation of her entire family away from their home. Wilson would only later discover that she was suffering from what is sometimes described in medical literature as low voltage electrocution.’
Wilson called Southern California Edison that morning and reported an emergency. She told S.C.E. what had been happening. That night Edison sent out a crew to investigate, but not the house. The crew didn’t even stop to talk to Wilson but instead went to the substation next door, formally known as the Topaz substation.
“That,” Wilson said, “was our first clue that something was seriously wrong.”
“We saw a lot of meetings of minds, people just standing around talking,” Stelle said.
Finally, Edison officials met with the couple on April 27 and disclosed the home’s unusual history. The Topaz substation had what is known as a stray or escape voltage problem for at least two decades. The substation apparently was not sufficiently grounded – despite an intricate underground system of the sort that is generally able to contain electricity, the sandy soil underneath the facility was allowing an escape current – meaning electricity leaked onto Wilson’s property.
“So what we thought originally was just a shower situation we started to learn, when all the field technicians came out here, was actually a property-wide problem,” Stelle said. “The entire ground of this house is charged with electricity.”

That is super weird and something I’ve never heard of.
