photovoltaics? If we allow photovoltaics, perpetual motion has long been solved. I have some old pocket calculators that run on nothing but "photons collected indoors". storing energy does not generate electricity, converting energy does in...

The most junior Ministers are Parliamentary Under Secretaries of State, of whom there will be one in a small department and three or four in a large department. (The word 'junior' is shorthand used across Whitehall, but that does not mean that...

CityNerd on Youtube is a good source for short videos explaining the new urbanism movement in the US. These plans are designed to improve the quality of life for people. I highly recommend watching more of his videos to get an idea of why these...

it doesn't appear to say that.

At the moment we appear to be discussing something that isn't real, something that exists only in febrile imaginations. The only thing that's been proposed is disincentivising inappropriate route selection, not destination choice or availability...

I guess the next question may be: can something similar have happened with the Mosul sphere?

My father just send me something about the earth machine, so i did some research and found this thread. Thought this might be interesting for you guys...

fatphil was incorrect. as proved by the widely available design definition of the 15 minute cities policy i illustrated was a simple google search away. mendel has corroborated that this definition is in fact the correct one by providing a...

dude, reading an encyclopedia entry is NOT a "deep dive", and in this case took less time than watching any conspiracy video on youtube (although I had to provide my own music). Please read more! yet this does not constitute "zones", or rather...
