No offence, but you can't even tell the difference between a horse and cow, so help selecting a treadmill would be a must.

yet somehow, for some reason, and very contrary to what many right wing blowhards feel, i don't feel like that will be any big deal.
i just looked it up and "minorities" make up 40% of the population where i currently am: 25% hispanics, 10% asians, 3% blacks, and 2% native americans. we are in the hispanic part of town here though.

You realise that was a Europe wide thing originating in Poland?
And I don't eat that cheap, frozen, processed, grey shite anyways.
Do facts like the former hurt Australian's simple brains?

I'm be seriously surprised if you could work a treadmill, for the life of me I don't know how you work a computer... But you're Irish so it's okay...

You don't have to with the Irish you guys set yourselves up all day, everyday...
Just sad facts like the former hurt your simple irish mind... Poland hey... LMFAO

You cant hurt an Irishman you can only piss him off further, and you can't do even that

What about denying the irishman the creature? That would hurt him for sure...You cant hurt an Irishman you can only piss him off further, and you can't do even that
But thats thermal solar NOT PV solar big diff. Thats where the oblama dollars were headed. A solar hot water system on over half the rooftops of this country would make a significant dent in energy spent on heating. But nobody (govt or business) really wants that. Think who makes $$ if I put a hot water system on my roof? Only the contractors that install and the supplers of the equipment. These is no monthly Bill to pay anymore except for financing. Government types are all looking at dreams ... e.g. California TESLA grants for minvans and not in tech that Already works.

i honestly thought it was gonna be greeley, but that's not how it worked out.
the bay area school that didn't even interview her originally not only decided to interview her, but ranked her #1 for internship.
i'm not happy, the bay area is a high rent motherfucker. my rent is gonna triple.

We have already made these batteries, and they work fantastic.... Just research CERN or FERMI or any high voltage gun which shoots projectiles at mach 6..
They are not bombs.
You might be inclined to call them vaporizers, as if you short the terminals, you are going to vaporize where ever that current travels, but like any other electrical device, when a load is attached, it is a battery. Moreover, I do not get why people think energy dense batteries are any more harmful than batteries/voltage sources we COMMONLY encounter. You know it only takes about 20V and 1A to kill you, correct? Then you must understand that MANY MANY voltage sources we make, ALREADY have the potential of becoming "killing devices", especially when shorted.
LOL. Dude, we have been making high energy density batteries for 70 years... We already have applications where they are found currently, the only issue is that it is not financially efficient to produce them in large quantities.. Again, go research the large Capacitor Banks,, the LHC or any other high voltage application where the energy is being stored beforehand. Another example is the mechanical/electrical guns that shoot 20lb projectiles at mach 6. A decade away... more like 5 decades behind
It's a fallacy to think we are "modern" with our battery technology. On the contrary, we are so far behind it is disgusting.

What do you mean wait? How long must we wait? The technology is nearly 20 years old...
"Its use as a battery electrode was first described in published literature by John Goodenough's research group at the University of Texas in 1996"
Furthermore, the batteries used by the military, especially in astrospace applications, blow the fuck out of any consumer battery. I do consulting work from time to time for a company which manufactures military grade batteries which go into satellites and other high end military applications.
Like I've said, consumer battery technology is disgustingly behind time. The consumer market is at least 50 years behind the military in terms of technology.

OH Good old San Francisco..one of the few areas in the country fucked up enough that you may fit in Bucky.
well its 16 years old, but hasn't been manufactured on a large scale until just recently. Military tech takes 20-30 years to trickle down to public usage, just the way it is with high tech shit that is secret at first.
Why make batteries when Gasoline was less than a buck only 16 years ago? Like Obama said, pricing natural resources higher causes a jump in tech to appear. Totally weaning ourselves from dino fuel is politically extremely hard considering the political clout the big oil companies have. Oil is a $1.4 TRILLION market in the USA ALONE, they won't give it up that easily. Oil companies buy the patents of these electrical gizmos and then never let the patent get out of the safe.
Honestly, SF is my most favorite city in the world, right before Perth, Australia.

I'm not even talking about using batteries in place of gasoline applications.
I'm speaking of AAA, AA, Electric car batteries, and other consumer batteries. Yes you are right that military tech takes about 25 years to make it to the consumer market, but we are surpassing 60 years with batteries. I've worked with military grade batteries, I get to see the type of technology we put in satellites..
Do you know that the first battery was manufactured before 3000BC in Egypt? There is really nothing secrete about a battery, only the capabilities of said battery.
I'm speaking strictly towards the fact that our consumer batteries are energy inefficient and energy sparse.
I agree that it will take awhile to convert from a fuel source where lots of money is made, to a source which will result in less profits, due to our politics (another example of govt cheating the people its governing), but the point being made is that the technology is lacking.
PVs on the other hand are in their infant phase. Seeing as how the PV concept is only about 170 years old, and large scale manufacturing being only about 30 years old, we have a lot of potential to still come. Pun intended

He will run the department of energy . We may actually see new technology that works now.
i don't think the gop would allocate the funds for something that might benefit everyone.
