So is it Copper or sulfate?

Still running a Samsung note 8, probably the biggest thing I dislike is kinda wish it was a little smaller. It might fit in my pocket better, would probably be easier to hold, and I would be fine having other devices for stuff where I need a bigger screen. Not a huge deal, but I do kinda miss having a medium sized smartphone.

Sounds about right. Most of the Japanese manufacturers have had to put a higher amount of effort on reliability, in large part due to Toyota's amazingly strenuous testing of reliability before they even consider dropping a new product on the market. As a bit of a bonus to that, once reliability was upped, making more sporty cars could be achieved because you had the budget to change around the driving dynamics of a car without making it inherently unreliable. The Miata is probably the best example of this, as while each generations drivetrain usually isn't too special (outside of being high revving), it manages to handle well and be reliable while doing so.

I remember playing Rollercoaster tycoon on windows 95.

I don't even think it's a question of innovation, more just perceived reliability. A large part of the reason Mercedes and other German brands were considered high quality was that they were more reliable than a lot of other brands on the market, while being good to drive. That isn't really the case anymore, and Toyota and Honda have that basically cornered that market to the point that it's an outlier to fine one that isn't reliable.

Which is a repackaging of the red panic.

Plus since they are the figurehead of the party, if they are lackluster in their proof it could affect downstream elections.

And next thing you know it's the next morning. Which is why I don't play factorio too often.

Heating/cooling probably, but renovation of older structures is generally expensive and complicated, whereas grid batteries can scale until newer construction (which should be more insulated) can keep up. It's not an either or, but more of both that will compliment each other as time progresses.

[-] Addv4@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

But then you're just having another system for storing energy, which probably isn't very easy to implement. An easier solution if you don't want to use grid batteries is just to improve housing insulation and schedule heating/cooling for non peak hours, so that you are just using less energy overall. The problem in my mind is that that would require a lot of renovation on older homes, which is just more expensive and slower than adding grid batteries. Don't get me wrong, those changes should be mandated for newer housing, but expecting it to be implemented in older housing probably isn't gonna happen.

It's mostly written for to attract nerds who liked Harry Potter. Hp fanfic can be all over the place, but HPMOR was one of the better ones. Hope it helps!
