    Aptera is gone for good. :'(

    He should have just pulled a Kevin and said "why waste time say lot word when few word do trick" but in this case "why use four wheel when three wheel do trick" :) VvPaEsuz-tY

    LFP's battery recycling business!

    I just saw this video on the NKY youtube channel and it brought me back to endless sphere, this is the most exciting thing I've seen on the EV front in quite awhile!! LFP still rocking it!

    ice sheet losses in Greenland and Antarctica reach new highs

    I have some further thoughts on this, but I will wait for guidance from the moderation team before further participation here. Your interpretations of the meaning of stifle and non-relevant are strikingly different to anything I've seen before. To eliminate positions you don't agree with that...

    ice sheet losses in Greenland and Antarctica reach new highs

    I could not more strongly disagree with you here. This is a discussion board, and this is currently the most appropriate, current place to discuss and improve ours and others' mutual understanding of the topics surrounding ice sheet dynamics. The fact that you or anyone would want to stifle...

    ice sheet losses in Greenland and Antarctica reach new highs

    These are the main quotes that led me to believe you reject the findings of climate science, particularly to the results on anthropogenic global warming which has been a primary focus of study for quite awhile now. If you don't want to call trails in the sky that are "not contrails" chemtrails...

    ice sheet losses in Greenland and Antarctica reach new highs

    It is being considered, by those who are studying geoengineering and the climate. It's good to be aware that they are studying it along with climate change. There was no evidence in the documentary that I was able to find. Could you give us a list, even a short incomplete one of what you...

    ice sheet losses in Greenland and Antarctica reach new highs

    I love ya nutspecial but you're bounding from leap to leap so fast it's hard to keep up! No one is making a claim that geoengineering isn't "real." You are making a giant leap from the study of geoengineeiring to chemtrails, which is what people take issue with. Yes, it is. It's taken into...

    Greenland's Undercut Glaciers Melting Faster than Thought - UC Irvine, NASA JPL The paper by Eric Rignot et al. is behind a paywall unfortunately. There may be more articles in the coming days about the findings with some more detail. The expedition narrative and photos is an interesting...

    ice sheet losses in Greenland and Antarctica reach new highs

    Good idea I went ahead and scaled it, and linked to the original. The PIOMAS data fits well in the two standard deviations trend that PIOMAS produces, I would say that the claim "clearly not linear" does not fit with the data they've collected so far. Now there are some theories that there...

    ice sheet losses in Greenland and Antarctica reach new highs

    Hehe, that was me. It's possible the summer sea ice hit zero by then, but I'm not sticking my neck out for predictions. :P The only problem I had with the trend lines is they are nothing more than someone playing with the what amounts to the various options for the "best fit" tool in Excel...

    nutspecial, I'm not 100% sure who you are replying to in each part of your message, but I'll address what I can. On the contrary, you are very welcome here. Some people might take umbrage with your assertions, but rest assured that the best course of action has always been and remains open...

    ice sheet losses in Greenland and Antarctica reach new highs

    That is incorrect. The particular article posted was not a scientific finding, it would be of no value to a modern scientific approach to understanding or evaluating climate. You seem to have fixated on a year in making your point, which was not the issue raised. The crux of the statement...

    ice sheet losses in Greenland and Antarctica reach new highs

    Informed skepticism is desirable, but you must apply it with a rational mind for it to be of practical use. When conversing about complex topics, many times we'll see or downplay for ourselves the role of the experts, not wanting to fall victim to faulty appeal to authority arguments. It is...

    Moving - to WHERE?

    Technomadia is awesome - they up-sized over the years, but still such a cool lifestyle to me. Nomadism just has a certain ring to it. I still would want a place to return to, I think. And I would want that place to be within sight, sound, or smell of no other human being for miles. Nothing...

    How does Tesla balance cells, disconnect dead cells, etc?

    I'm not sure on the thread... This is a very basic document with a high level overview of the Roadster packs. I'm sure there is more out there, I just don't have anything else off hand.

    Bottom balancing?

    I'm just waiting for the ladder logic source code to come out for the A123 systems stuff, wb9k. I'd love to see who you consulted with on your manufacturing. Allen Bradley, Siemens? :wink: I've got some friends at Siemens so I can get you some discounts maybe. Next time I see them I'll ask...

    Bottom balancing?

    Man dnmun, I swear your posts are the most negative vitriolic stuff I ever read here from a long time member sometimes! I hope you're more pleasant in person! :shock: That being said, I don't find the technical proficiency on display inspiring, SunKing. So far all you have are anecdotes...

    Bottom balancing?

    It's a good point, could be battery monitoring system and/or battery management system. My 18650 packs handle LVC/HVC and balancing functions, which is about all you can ask for besides potentially data logging for trend analysis, which I'd love to have if troubleshooting were ever required - a...

    Bottom balancing?

    The simple fact is SunKing, you're preaching to the choir. Many hobby-level project here don't use a BMS, especially when they are using LiPo. It's a convenience feature for people that saves time and effort. The people who don't use a BMS, use a balancing charger to set up their pack 99% of...

    ice sheet losses in Greenland and Antarctica reach new highs

    I see that assertion at the end of that pdf, which I'm not sure of the context that was produced. It's not a paper, but a Question & Answer format, and very brief. I believe that is a supporting document filed by the researchers at the 2008 EGU General Assembly, where I assume they presented...

    ice sheet losses in Greenland and Antarctica reach new highs

    Posting PIOMAS data with unsupported regression lines on it is exactly the kind of crap that I would call over playing your hand. That is from a google sites page from a user called "arctischepinguin" - I mean, why would you consult and parrot something like that if you want to enhance public...
