  • Prey gives you the choices up front, tells you they don’t matter, then gives you a really good game to play.

    plot twist

    The way you play is entirely up to you, but that’s the point. Are you who you say you are? It’s easy to say whether you’ll flip a switch or push a person when you’re answering questions at a desk, but it’s suddenly much harder when you’re actually faced with the problem. What will you choose?


  • If you are worried, a qualified medical practitioner is always more reliable than a web forum.

    Insufficient or poor quality sleep can cause problems with attention and memory, and can exacerbate existing conditions.

    Poor sleep could be caused by a medical condition (sleep apnoea), or psychological (stress). Often stress can be hard to identify, particularly if it’s long term stress.

    Again, this might not be your problem, and finding the right doctor who actually listens to you is important. Don’t be afraid to try more than 1 doctor if the first makes you uncomfortable.











  • A hydrogen engine is so much worse for efficiency than a hydrogen fuel cell, and even that is not good compared to batteries. I’d estimate the round trip efficiency of a hydrogen engine to be about 10-15%. So for the same energy that could be used to drive a battery EV 100km, this car from Toyota could drive 12km.

    Additionally, hydrogen is not very energy dense per volume. A compressed hydrogen tank that replaces the boot/trunk of the car would have enough hydrogen for about 100km of range.

    Please let me know if I’m wrong about any of these numbers. For Toyota’s sake, I really hope I’m wrong.

    You might be right on this one. I’m not able to find a source to dispute that.

    In other news, some Chinese car manufacturers are releasing cars with sodium ion batteries late this year / early next year. Lithium might not be a bottleneck for EV production.

    I still agree with your initial point. More public transport is needed.

    Not true. There is more than enough lithium in the world for every person to have an EV. This is not even accounting for new battery chemistries like sodium ion that don’t use lithium.

    I still want more public transport though. Trains are remarkably easy to electrify and don’t need batteries.
