The Company's comprehensive offerings include proprietary gravity-based storage, battery storage, and green hydrogen energy storage technologies.

It looks like they used lithium ion batteries for this but I'm not confident in that. I only poked around their website a little, tho. I'm curious what gravity based would look like. Maybe I should poke around more!

Maybe? I've also read about using water storage. I really don't know much about using gravity.

Door hinge pin keeps coming up. How to solve?

Looking for help in solving a problem where the lower door hinge pin on my entry door keeps creeping up and causing the deadbolt to become slightly misaligned making it more difficult to lock. Reading online, I keep coming across suggestions of tightening a screw that’s supposed to lock the pin in place but my hinges don’t...

rhythmisaprancer ,
@rhythmisaprancer@kbin.social avatar

I'm not a carpenter, but as a mechanic, if the hinge pin is doing that AND the deadbolt has a problem, I would expect a third problem. Maybe the door frame isn't square, or since it is the bottom hinge pin, maybe a threshold issue. The pin shouldn't be migrating, and if it did, the deadbolt shouldn't care. There should be three hinges on an entry door. Is the door warped?

In the US, a train carrying gasoline and butane derailed and caught fire

The incident occurred near the border of the US state of Arizona with New Mexico. Six cars containing gasoline and propane caught fire. Local police are investigating the cause of the incident, reports the Associated Press.

The interstate was closed. Residents of houses near the incident were also evacuated as a precaution due to the wind, which carried away thick smoke.

Maybe I should reach out to the person who runs the mbin instance I am on. They were a kbin person before and may have some insight. An mbin version of this meta would be helpful, as mentioned!

This is a good discussion here. I'm sure I am not the only person to have other accounts (an mbin and a lemmy) but I am pretty invested here. But your #1 option has some relavent points.

Edit to add I have been digging the microblogs and miss that from what I can see on mbin. Maybe my error. I can't even find them.

You already mentioned "the obvious," and the article said it. It's about removing legitimacy. They don't really care if some of their voters are removed, they care about casting doubt on thr process. For most voters, unfortunately, this means doing this now. We already have processes in place to manage voter roles, and they work. The Republican party is only interested in killing the process. Nothing more.

I don't know if 16 counts as young man, but at that point in my life I did like my vehicle loud. I thought it was cool. By 20, it was embarrassing. I had an exhaust rust off about 10 years ago and couldn't get it fixed for a couple months. I definitely didn't feel cool then 😬 Thr silence after the repair was awesome!

coalitions form into the parties

I have never looked at it this way, but I appreciate your take and will take it with me. The US is perpetually under a poorly functioning coalition government. This requires a different mode of operation from the voter's viewpoint I think.

For people who have psoriasis/eczema/bad skin, how did you get rid of your dandruff?

@rhythmisaprancer@kbin.social avatar

I'm not sure it's good to approach this with a "how do I get rid of" mindset. Unless you have some other specific circumstances, these are conditions that we live with. However, working with a doctor can help. Also, your own personal experience will, too. Diet, topical products, and possibly medication could all play a role. I have had excema and dandruff for my whole life, but thru watching what I eat and keeping track of what I use, I have a pretty good system that works for me. I didn't get the excema figured out until my mod twenties (from a management standpoint), and the dandruff until mod thirties, but I feel OK about those things now. I would have been better off, I think, if I consulted with a doctor as a teen. I really recommend this. Don't be afraid of a second opinion.

Unfortunately none of that is reported in the right wing news ecosystem 😑 I wonder how many Republican supporters know that their congressfolk voted no on that immigration reform bill to, essentially, own the "libs?" Doesn't really excuse behavior, tho.

I find that the flavor varies on the age of the tips (assuming you are picking new, soft growth). Older tips, not quite "hard" yet, are different than very young and small tips. Perhaps it is too soon? Where I am at, spruce trees are still under snow.

Is anyone else? One of the reasons I was interested in /kbin over other options was this feature, but I don't remember seeing them on subscribed or all. Is this new? I'm kind of intimidated by it but ultimately know I want to interact. I'm seeing some cool stuff! It's all on magazines I have subscribed to.

So this is the Cass Report I've seen mentioned over the last few days. Disappointing. I accept that there will be a lot of back and forth discussion amongst those in the relavent fields, but to disregard large bodies of evidence and to use outdated judgment models seems disingenuous at best. Sure, there can be disagreement about certain aspects, but the folks who this affects the most don't have time to dump what seems best now in exchange for only waiting. I can't imagine they will regret trying something now that, in ten years, may no longer be viewed as solid policy. We have so many examples of this that may not be directly related, but still saved and changed lives.

My limited experience with going to Church of God places indicated to me that they hold this belief, but I do jot know the term for it. They didn't pray to god, they prayed to Jesus, specifically. And cried for him. And thanked him. And apologized to him. And so on. All to Jesus, not god, who are apparently different.

The idea of the Trinity is not the same across all "Christian" religions, see Arianism for example of an early split.

You're right, I just mentioned them as an example of splits about exactly what has gone on with the differing beliefs about trinity interpretation. I don't recall that they believed in an evil god. I do recall that some interpretations have other feelings and operate as such.

The Arians and the Church of God are probably not really connected to what op is getting at. I'm definitely not a theologist haha! Maybe I should stay oiy of this...

I'm in a position to buy old vehicles only. My current vehicle is more than 20 years old, and I don't plan to replace it soon. However, from my view, the sooner more options exist, the sooner folks like myself won't be driving otherwise reliable, but more polluting, vehicles. I don't even drive that much, about 1000 miles this year. So I could be driving what, 6000 or 7000 miles a year but having a smaller impact, but not until something like 2040 or even later at this rate.

Anyway, why push back? My winter climate isn't ideal for electric but people do it and I expect that to improve over time. We need it now, so others can have it then. My thoughts. For disclosure, I wasn't able to read the article. I apologize if I am off point 🙂
