Unintentional pun?

I know, take me to your leader.

Another interesting large scale project using compressed air. https://www.wired.com/story/hydrostor-compressed-air-battery-california-australia-energy-climate/

Isn't that how this whole mess got started?

There was not much interest when I started a thread about this in 2015. https://www.early-retirement.org/threads/toss-another-veggie-burger-on-the-barbie.75478/

I would like to highlight two recent posts by Dr Anthony Pearson, 'The Skeptical Cardiologist', that I think are relevant to this discussion. I will separate the two for clarity. The first one takes on Peter Attia's 'Medicine 3.0' position on aggressive treatment of blood lipids for prevention...

Just to throw a wrench in the works, I know some here follow Peter Attia. His position is decidedly aggressive on lowering blood lipids. I'm posting just the crib notes, there is a lot more detail in his writings and podcasts. He does caveat that the patient can tolerate the lipid lowering...

A interesting seasonal approach. This massive project in Utah is utilizing hydrogen gas to store excess electrical production for future use. Note - an archive link, takes a little time to load...

Of course. We evolved to walk, it’s the most natural exercise. Our bodies have robust signaling to let us know when we are overdoing it. Just listen. With a rational approach, 11 miles on level ground is well within the capacity of most able bodied people.

That was my first thought too. They did qualify with “You can take that excess electricity and heat up air.“ I will leave it up to the system designers to decide when thermal storage makes the most sense. A better comparison would ask how their idea stacks up against existing thermal storage...

Two videos with expert surgeon Dr Amy Krambeck explaining HoLEP and comparing it to TURP. The second video is a live surgery and not for the faint of heart. Viewing the video requires logging in with a Google account.

What does your urologist recommend? TURP is the most commonly available of the natural orifice procedures, followed by Aquablation and HoLEP. HoLEP removes the most tissue, giving the longest lasting relief and is best for men with large prostates and bleeding issues - the laser cauterizes...

For tax planning strategy, buying 52 week T-bills puts the interest payment into next year. I cashed in a number of I-bonds this year, so am using this angle for some of my purchases.

The premise of the article is that equity profit growth of the past two decades (1989-2019) can be attributed entirely to the decline in interest and corporate tax rates so will be difficult to repeat. link. Sounds reasonable, but we all know the Yogi Berra quote….. PS - Copy and paste into...

Thanks! I found a thread that recommends switching the ground connection on the fuel pump. In any case, no wires will be cut without thorough research. :)
