Sodium ion batteries are really just hitting the mainstream. Prior to now, they appear to have been more from pilot projects/factories, but a couple large factories are being built now. I expect they will be very popular for stationary use in a couple years.

The problems with single sign-on and retained sign-on made it into The Boys. Most relatable scene in the show for me. I'm not saying my crew are geniuses, but this seems pretty endemic.
Here's my Jira experience. MS shop, have a programming department, but I'm not in programming and programming isn't our core product.
Need something that requires a Jira request. I use MS Edge because that's what IT recommends and it's not my computer. The only putative upside is that it knows who I'm logged in as. I click on the link for Jira, it asks me if I want to sign in with my account, which I assume is the MS one since it has the right email/user for it. It tells me that's the wrong one. Would I like to use my Atlassian account? Sure, let's use the same email. Whoops, you don't have an Atlassian account, but there's an MS account for your company. Do you want to use that, or something from the usual list of places that will log you in (Google, Facebook, MS)? Note that the MS option is only included in the list of third-party logins even though it knows my company has MS logins setup. So I click the MS option, and it may or may not ask for my password, because I'm already logged in via Edge, but it will certainly do my 2FA. And now I'm finally able to tell IT what is bothering me, and they wonder why people always seem frustrated.
So, now that I've gone through that once, I can save a single click by not choosing the Atlassian account option and go directly to signing in with a third party. I can only assume this is supposed to be the streamlined process.
Yeah, the Google Maps equivalent that you're flying around in is the massive amount of data. The flight sim part isn't insignificant, but the massive amounts of canned data will be all those maps.
I don't get it either. I also don't get why people would want to watch a bunch of guys scramble around a field after an oblong ball and give each other TBIs, but, hey, people can enjoy whatever they want. I don't need to criticize them for it. So, why do you feel that need?
The people who sell electricity are surprisingly happy to sell you electricity. If you happen to do something horribly wrong and don't burn your house down, an electrician will be happy to do the repairs. If you have 200 Amp service and draw the full 200 all year long, the most significant reaction would probably be getting a personalized Christmas card.
Doing something that demonstrably doesn't work isn't how you get what you want. If you want an option besides Democrats and Republicans, voting for someone else where those two options have a lock on winning does nothing besides vent some spleen.
I'm not saying doing nothing is the solution, or even voting for the two main parties is the solution, but doing something that has been shown to be completely ineffective is not the solution.
Isn't it at meme levels when YouTube games have their screen go black and they mention Nvidia crashing?
Pretty sure that's a horse skull, and holy fuck, why was that ever made?
Edit: probably not a horse, but some kind of ungulate.
Well, pizza is pretty important, too.
Having addresses be easily legible for emergency services isn't inconsequential, and is legally required where I live.
There have been plenty of studies that refute this, from various countries. I can only conclude that this belief/wish stems from a variant of the puritanical work ethic where hard work will lead to prosperity, and winning the lottery isn't hard work so will obviously not lead to prosperity.
I've won the lottery. Sure, it was only a few grand and my life didn't significantly change. Studies on winners of truly large amounts of money, in the millions, tend to have more successful outcomes, with the studies I've seen putting between 66% and over 80% retaining their wealth for 5 or 10 years after winning.
