Doesn't require cooling, a big downside of lithium ion batteries.
Also cheaper to produce.

From inventor of Super Soaker.
He's also Tuskegee Institute engineer involved with stealth bomber, bunch of other stuff.

He likes to sun himself on the very warm coffee machine too.

Anything warm, "yes please". Here he's got double happiness, from strong morning light and magic bean juice extractor heat.

Columbia university could stand up for their students and professors as the Trump admin plays high-stakes chicken with them. Yes, they’d lose $400M in federal funds if they refused to make broad terrible changes.

But they have $14B in the bank.

If they roll over for Trump, they made a choice.

As of June 30, 2024, Columbia University's endowment was valued at $14.8 billion.

reminder that whenever the gop complains about "censorship" what they always always mean is "you're making me feel bad about being a white supremacist." when they say that universities shouldn't be able to "indoctrinate" students, what they always always mean is "you shouldn't be able to tell people that white supremacy is bad." it is never a good faith argument and it should never be treated as such

In the gentle embrace of early spring light, Iwhere whispers of warmth dance through the air.

Sunbeams stretch like golden ribbons, weaving their way through the coolness, promising the joy of blooming flowers and laughter-filled days.

The earth awakens, soft and fragrant, as tiny green shoots push through the soil, eager for the sun's kiss. Here, in this moment, hope unfurls like petals, inviting me to dream of sunshine.

In the before-times America, any car that trapped passengers inside to be burnt alive would be yanked from the market and there would be a public uproar.

Some comments in an article (posted 3/18/25) looking at the CHP report of the CyberTruck crash that killed 3 students (they were burnt to death alive stuck inside the CyberTruck) in Piedmont, California.

https://oaklandside.org/2025/03/18/cybertruck-crash-report-says-witness-could-not-open-door-to-save-victims/

Adam Cook, a Detroit robotics and car engineer who has worked for Ford, Chrysler, and Toyota building their safety and quality systems, told The Oaklandside that a root-cause analysis is needed to fully understand what happened in the Piedmont collision. But he noted that there have been published reports in the past few years of people who died inside Tesla vehicles because they couldn’t exit a damaged car or because bystanders could not open the doors. The main issue is that the doors of a Tesla, as well as those of some other manufacturers’ electric vehicles, rely on electronic power “to disengage electronic latches,” the Detroit engineer said. The electronic design schemes rely on the car maintaining power to open the door instead of a simple mechanical latch. On the Cybertruck, this entry-and-exit issue may be worse, as there are emergency pull cords in “obscure locations which often require rear seat passengers to remove door paneling to access,” Cook said in an email. This mechanism is described in the owner’s manual of both the Cybertruck and the Model Y vehicles. “If vehicle power was lost, I am not sure how the Cybertruck doors can be actuated from outside of the vehicle. My suspicion is that they cannot,” Cook said.
