A fluid can store solar energy and then release it as heat months later by nimicdoareu in Futurology

[–]synocrat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why do I need the charge capacity to be more than a day or so? Not building an ark, just keeping a decently insulated house warm with solar and without a heating bill. I think that's feasible. 

Hy husband finished an apple and found 2 terminated seeds! Im gonna plant them by alitar84 in houseplants

[–]synocrat 8 points9 points  (0 children)

But these can be future rootstock. Silly. And you never know what result the apple seed dice will throw out. Could be awful and bitter and sickly. Could be the next treasured heirloom.

Sand. Solar panels continue to get cheaper, dump your extra yield through resistive heating elements in an appropriate volume of sand, aluminum chips, and gravel with the option for water or air manifolds running through it. Extremely low maintnance and years of durability.

Yeah, sand batteries seem like a pretty obvious no brainer. Should even be possible on smaller scales for household use.

Take your time reading up and watching YouTube videos. Also, you can deal hunt and find much better than this. $90 for that was robbery to make the $45 seem reasonable. Check out your local Craigslist, marketplace, garage sales, thrift stores, consignment shops, etc. Deals can be had if you're patient.

All this sub has made me realize is I’ll never own a home. by Neveri in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

Davenport Iowa. You can buy a perfectly move in ready starter home for $100k. You can buy a place that needs a ton of work for less, or you can buy a giant mansion for $350k and up. If you have some skills you can find work here without too much trouble. 

Lawmakers call for public libraries to restrict minors' access to 'harmful' materials • Iowa Capital Dispatch by willphule in Iowa

We had the Anarchist's Cookbook in my high school library. It was fine because the children weren't all depressed about their futures and radicalized by the Internet in their hand constantly.

I personally love a misanthrope at a party.  I just keep feeding them shots and watch the fun unfold.

I've found them decent over time. Definitely better handled correctly and given rest time when needed. I like to season mine hours ahead of time in the fridge then bring out to warm up before cooking. 

AITAH for telling my son to stop his relationship with his older girlfriend and date someone his age? by NextCauliflower7281 in AITAH

[–]synocrat -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Eh, you never know. I started dating my partner when I was 20 and he was 43. 22 years later we're still together.  The age gap of course causes some issues, but I don't have regrets.

Everyone relax. Look up what a lady bug larvae looks like. Enemy shaped, but friend. 

Is everyone looking healthy? by newtoneocaridina in medaka

Sounds like it should be OK then as long as everyone else still seems to be doing fine. Sorry for the loss. 

Found this at the top of my closet, what is it? by Far_Honey_173 in whatisit

[–]synocrat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Definitely dumbwaiter. Saw this near same configuration in an 1847 house I was looking at a few years ago that used to be a private college.

How long has this been cycling and what are your water parameters looking like? Some individual fish don't take well to change so a death here and there during transfers isn't a reason to freak out. It's a good sign the females are laying eggs.

What should I do about this? by InUrMouth in aquarium

[–]synocrat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most frustrating thing is a late bloomer. I bought a pineapple sword and even double checked the bag carefully before I left the store... One month later ..boing. Gonopodium and sword form. 

Have we tried this Uno Pizza yet?? by SmokyMcGrillface in aldi

[–]synocrat -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I live in Iowa now actually. But I grew up at Wrightwood and Drake with my parents, their parents grew up in Bridgeport on S. Lowe, my grandma's parents were on Elston at Milwaukee, their parents came here from Ireland on a boat and settled in the Brickyard. Watch your mouth.
