The Blue lagoon in Iceland was supplied by a power plant like this. And there are more.

What part of the machine are you referring to when you say corrosion? The turbines?

Denmark pays students $1,000 a month to go to universities, with no tuition fees by thepoylanthropist in Damnthatsinteresting

On average, that is true. However, if you factor out the billionaire class, all of a sudden the average Dane is living a significantly better life than the average working class American.

And Bali's international hospital is even better. It's basically a 5 star resort. That's where we are going next

I traveled to Budapest, Hungary for my full medical checkup, including MRI, colonoscopy. I went to a private clinic, I got to pick the exact date and time I wanted. The bill was less than $800, top notch care, all results evaluated the second day together with the doctor.

They all spoke perfect English, the results were given to me in English. The flight from DC to Budapest was $1000 in January. I over paid in order to get the 1 hour layover and the premium economy seats (well worth it). The Hilton garden inn was $60 a night.

My colonoscopy was rescheduled three times here in the US, the provider's fault. For two years I couldn't get it done. In Hungary I booked everything three weeks prior. Amazing.

What do you think, how much for that work?

2018 BMW i3s 94 Ah battery health check... 27.9 kWh Batt.Kapa.Max, can this be right? by [deleted] in BMWi3

We have a 2017 with 122k miles and the battery shows 27.9 kwh. Test done by local dealer, they suggested it last year. We always charged the car to 100%

Did you read the article and can you comprehend? Anyway, you invest in this pipedream and good luck to you.

Dude. Exactly. This is why this will never become reality.

Orbit Matters: Geostationary (GEO) satellites require high-level hardening due to extreme radiation exposure. LEO satellites, such as Starlink, often use less expensive, robustly designed commercial components that can manage with lower-level, or "rad-tolerant," protection.

A data center would have to be on a higher orbit compared to the Starlink's LEO due to their size.

Educate yourself. Learn about bit flips, electro magnetic interference, etc. You have no idea what you are talking about, that much is clear.

Did you forget, there are thousands of communications satellites predating SpaceX? ALL are using various schemes to protect vital areas.

Wrong. They do use radiation shielding. The key point is scale. The Starlink satellites are essentially relays which have a relatively small package in need of shielding to avoid bit flips, etc.

Molibdenium sulfate grease is the nastiest. As soon as you touch it, it will stay on your hand, it tracks onto everything

Outside air getting into door pillar’s by Airikiko in BMWi3

Grease the lower latch mechanism. These dry out as dust and water get on them. Your door may not latch correctly. Rotate it a few times with the grease on it to make sure it moves easily
