The trailer for the new borderlands looked like the most soulless, boring cash grab. Anyone put much time into it yet?

Those guys don’t have time for hair.

This is wild, I somehow never knew about this, or maybe forgot. Found a few gifs of what bowieworld looked like here: https://www.dailydot.com/debug/david-bowie-world-virtual-3d/

I mean, it hurts to agree with anything that orange turd says, but I dont have any trouble hating on Walmart. They’re a shit company subsidized by public services that destroys small towns and rams Chinese garbage down people’s throats.

Yeah don't get me wrong- I get it’s a battery. But a battery that’s 5% efficient isn’t great. Now 72? That’s pretty incredible, I’d like to see that in action.

What a joke

Thanks for the insight, I’m not a mechanical engineer, I’m a software engineer :) The walls on these spheres have got to be pretty thick- 400 tonnes is no joke. 3/4 of a meter if I had to guess.

Thanks, I missed that on my read through - 1000 feet of water is pretty serious pressure.

I’m pretty skeptical about this- wouldn’t a 30m sphere be incredibly buoyant when empty? I get its concrete, but it’s displacing huge amounts of water. So you’d need some massive anchoring, maybe that’s not a big deal. Second, I don’t know what depths we’re talking about here, but I feel like the stress from cycling these things daily would be insane- in high pressure salt water no less. I also wonder what the efficiency of this system would be compared to other similar batteries, like pumped hydro storage. It seems to me pumping out water to near vacuum while under crushing outside water pressure would be a significant power hog.

Totally fair points! Password managers FTW, all my passwords are 25 character complete random.

Digit being the key here- alphanumeric with mixed case and symbols takes a dozen cards over 160 years.

Shocker- the people that believe all the bullshit on Facebook spend too much time on Facebook.
