I fancy you don't have to release it in the air and can land with it.

And then you get free soda!

Is it really cheaper and more practical to produce sodium vs hydrogen?

The typical issue with fuel cells is not energy density, it is the fact that you need to waste a lot of energy to regenerate and transport the fuel.

For example, if you take a classic hydrogen option, you can either get it from natural gas (which is not sustainable/eco-friendly) or from water (which is fully sustainable as you get a closed cycle, but comes with additional energy losses on electrolysis, transportation and usage).

Similarly, here with sodium you either have to produce it over and over from salt, or you'll have to regenerate soda, with the first option being wasteful and the second too energy-demanding and complicated.

So, overall, you'll need to spend much more energy (= both recurring and upfront costs) compared to running battery-powered transportation if you want to make it a close cycle similar to batteries.

On a serious note, female reproductive system is extremely fucked and overcomplicated and a great example of how evolution makes something that works, not something that is perfect.

EDIT: Comment below is a product of misunderstanding of the original statement. I thought it was about pedestrians.

To be fair, at a red light you are legally expected to not initiate the crossing. You can finish it freely at any pace even if the red is in.

But a polite thing to do is to not enter the crosswalk if you can't cross it before red turns on.

I bet it was alcohol-based

It spans 4,5 hours one way, and 0,5 hours the other way*

So, it's a big deal.

The point is to avoid timezone confusion and simplify international cooperation. Inside the countries, there are some successful experiments: for example, China is present in 5 time zones, but the entire nation lives by UTC+8. And while 5 time zones are not 24, this arrangement is generally regarded positively by the people, despite the fact it's measured by Beijing, which is located on the east, and not by some point in the middle of the country.

Living in the same timezone doesn't mean waking up and going to bed at the same time.

You can still consider whatever time the sun gets up in your area as morning and the dusk will tell you when it's evening.

Technically, a developer can contact vendors to include their keys to Secure Boot, but that would require asking all of them and them responding positively. So, in practice, it is commonly Microsoft that controls it since obviously just about any vendor will support their signatures.

Circumcized?

Secure Boot does allow for Linux installation, just not any Linux installation. Some distros support it (like Fedora), some don't (like Manjaro).

Is it honestly more common to have something in another month than the current one?

I do not agree with an angry mob downvoting you, but I'll notice this is probably not the context to put this in.

This looks more like a parent figuring out about their kids being trans. In the OP's context, everyone is on an even ground.

Here, it is mostly important to use their preferred names/pronouns and consult on the terms as necessary.

It can only do so if both OS are on the same drive.

It is recommended to use two physical drives: one for Windows, one for Linux.

Never failed me in years.

While great overall, these are just launchers/wrappers for Wine/Proton with built-in library

They will not help launch something that can't be run with Proton, and for hard mode, they won't add native support.

So, nice, but not what OP is looking for

Dual boot would like to enter the chat

No, I'm asking drivers to follow the rules designed to make driving safer, which is something a human is fully capable to do - and does whenever repercussions appear, like near the speed cams. If controlling that means installing speed cams at every corner, I'm all in. As long as it's not that, we have what we have to enforce those limits.

I also fully support and actively use public transportation and only engage in driving when necessary (which is actually quite little).

And please, do not jump to the conclusion about someone's mental health based on a comment on the Internet, this is rude and likely inaccurate. All I strongly state there is that it is insane to blame someone who follows the rules on the road instead of those who routinely break them out of habit and convenience.

For worst conditions, it's a common recommendation to slow down even further.

You do not want to drive by the limit when the road is slippery, the side wind blows your car away, and visibility is 10 feet.

I'm pretty sure those who have set it at 60mph have calculations you didn't consider.

Maybe there are places on the road where someone may suddenly appear, be it human or a wild animal? Maybe the road can get slippery? Maybe the cars going above 60mph create too much noise in the neighborhood? There are many more reasons one could set a road at that, and many may not even come to your mind.

And no, this is almost certainly not about tickets. If it is - screw them and follow the rule!

The danger is created in the first place by normalization of speeding.

I am aware that, technically, if I'd drive by traffic at any given time, accidents will be less likely. But this danger of variable speed is not created by me moving too slow, it's because of others moving too fast, because speeding is normalized in the first place, which introduces the problem that wouldn't otherwise be there. The lane speed should be within bounds of speed limit, the rest is not and should never be my problem or fault.

Now, don't get me wrong, if my actions can prevent an actually imminent accident (such as speeding up to let someone return to lane before reverse traffic traps them) - of course I will. But for regular driving, I strictly adhere to the rules and regulations. If this gets someone who breaks the rules in an accident - that's on them, maybe it'll teach them a lesson.
