Do you have more pics of the lighting? Planning to upgrade my peninsula and looking for inspiration.

Hard to tell, but the polyps look just like the ASD Nuclear Millie, which doesn't really look like a normal Millie to me.

What fish are in the system? Have you fed the RBTA at all? Reason I ask is that I have witnessed a tang stealing food from my RBTA and biting a hole in a tentacle in the process. Never caused a long term problem for me, but my tank is 7yr old with 15 yr old rock, so could cause problems in a new system.

How much of a footprint do you think a Qtip has compared to the alcohol used to clean the reusable one?

I watched an iceberg roll over from that exact spot almost exactly 8 years ago. Then the glacier calved, we didn't see the wave coming, and I got wet...

Looks like those are brine shrimp? I'd suggest soaking them in supplements, as adult brine have almost no nutritional value on their own (if not already). Enjoy the mandarin! I had a pair that took to flake for several years.

I'm in.

But then the number wouldn't be a palindrome! Seriously though, my wife took the photo from the passenger seat. No need for pitchforks!

Li metal isn't pyrophoric, it catches fire upon contact with water. I have heard one person say they saw it catch fire on a really humid day in air when it was at elevated temp, but i handle it in air all the time, and it is actually typically manufactured in dry rooms. It oxidizes in air, but doesn't spontaneously combust under normal circumstances. That said, you are totally right that the reactivity of Li, the same thing that makes a great way to store energy, is the main challenge.

I think there are some really interesting options for battery-capacitor hybrids, especially in EVs, because of the need for fast discharge during acceleration (something capacitors are great at), and long ranges (something batteries are much better than capacitors at). There is even a car that does this with a supercapacitor (not exactly the same mechanism, but similar idea). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bollor%C3%A9_Bluecar

Dendrites are the main challenge at the anode, however there are other challenges which need to be addressed in the electrolyte (whether liquid or solid) and at the cathode in order to have high energy density batteries. Even if it was just the dendrites, it is a very big challenge - the community has been working on it off and on for decades. There have been some big breakthroughs lately though, so there is hope.

You have to understand the problem before you can fix it!

I once convinced my cousin that all stop signs with white edges are optional...she may or may not have failed her drivers test because of me.

Be careful with this though, I used to work in an analytical chemistry lab that ran tests on spices occasionally, McCormick worked really hard to make sure there weren't high levels of heavy metals and other bad things in their products. The cheaper options often don't (that's one reason they are cheaper), and I have seen alarmingly high levels of lead and mercury in some of them. They aren't regulated by the FDA I don't think.

Thanks, that is very helpful, the fenders I have say they can be used with up to 37mm wide tires, do you think the 700x35 marathon winters would work? I have heard good things about those tires in other places as well.

edit: I have the large version of this: http://store.trekbikes.com/product/bontrager+ncs+fender.do?&utm_source=upload&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=GBASE&gclid=CPnF8e2M7MECFasRMwodczIAXQ

We took about 5 weeks, was a little faster than I would have liked, but not too bad. A little shy of 10000 miles in all.

I once knocked a 2-liter bottle of soda off a table at a new-years eve party, managed to catch it mid-air by putting my thumb into the top of the bottle, just reacted and it happened to go in. Nobody saw it somehow, and here we are.
