a human consumes about 8 MJ of chemical energy per day.


typically rated at 1200-1500 watts, sometimes more. Do they actually use that much? I
i’d say that if it says 1500 watts microwave, then that means that 1500 watts are delivered to your food. the microwave might consume more than that to account for losses.


kWh is for practical use, Joules is for physics and because it’s universal among all the energy units


coulomb volts is better for practical uses though


Who the hell measures energy in joules?
i do
they only care about it as long as it’s a conspiracy
same as how republicans only care about the “wellbeing of children” as long as they aren’t already born
sure it’s gonna leak but if the rate of leakage is slow enough, you can ignore it :)


i did that:
u like it?


true
yeah, geological availability might vary


The fact that it isn’t tells me that there is a downside to always having your immune system on alert.
you know, it could just be that it consumes more energy and in nature, that’s expensive.


and chronic inflammation, i believe?


mice are not that different from humans, biologically


lots of countries have hosted US bases because they sold oil and made good business that way … now it’s becoming clear that they won’t be selling oil to the US in 10 years, so better start kicking them out now that they’re of no use anymore .
basically the caverns that are being considered/used for this are the same caverns that natural gas was extracted out of in the first place … they clearly held some sort of gas fine for millions of years, so certainly they’re gonna store a bit of hydrogen too.
hydrogen scales well if you use big industrial setups, both for generation and for storage.
basically, bigger tanks are cheaper (consider higher volume/surface area ratio) and in fact the best tanks might simply be naturally occurring underground caverns. you can’t have these at home.
eh, words are made up, you can just assign any meaning to them that you like
it’s not actually a lot of areas. this is the psychological effect of big numbers. you hear “one million acres” and think it’s a big number, like when government spends “one billion dollars on school programmes”, and it sounds like a lot, and your brain goes like “oh wow, i could never afford a billion dollars”, but actually, if you divide that by 300 million people (population of the US), it’s $3 per person …
same as with land. it’s like 20 m² per person on solar panels, probably less than some people’s garage.
That’s like saying, you cannot actually go to school, do homework and pass tests if you only reach a score of 99/100 points.
that’s not what i meant.
now they have heard it 6 times used.
