It depends, showing promise in mice / or culture is one step. The next steps are harder, so yeeeeay for base science, but dont let it fool you to think it will be ready in a year (if memory serves, 5-10 years is the norm for drugs)

Well shit… that was a pretty draconian law in place, glad it’s been repealed.

Wait, he did the N-Strike line too? I knew about Super Soaker, didn't know about the dart blasters. Do you have a link to that?
Edit: So after some reading, it looks like that's not exactly the case. He created the pressurized air blasters (which are basically just the Super Soakers, but shooting darts), but that wasn't N-Strike.
Still, his contributions were priceless and he ended up winning a lawsuit against Hasbro for underpaid royalties. Anyone who gives Hasbro a good kick in the dick is okay in my book.

it's called stored energy and there are a lot of creative ways to go about it

But covered tends to mean less cold and less warm even more when underground.

I feel like I keep hearing about these ways to beat cancer for years and years, but where do they go? Are they stuck in trial for decades?

"Two-thirds of the extra coal imported by the EU remained unused."
Basically Europe panic bought coal earlier in the year, people looking at EU coal consumption assumed the significant increase in coal bought would lead to a correlated increase in consumption and thus created headlines based on that assumption, but in the end it did not, according to this article.
The last paragraph was included as it clarified that expanded coal generation contributed an increase of less than 1% of to the EU's total coal generation, essentially a non-story. The article states further on that it's likely EU coal imports this year will drop off substantially owing to all the extra coal purchased but unused this winter resulting in abundant stockpiles.

Actually our politicians are addicted to PAC money that Citizens United.

Sans PAC (bribe) money gushing into our corrupt politicians our renewable energy and transportation electrification would be in hyperdrive by now.
Sad how American has lost its way and moral compass.

You're referring to a block heater. I think those are relics at this point. Been in Minnesota 20+ years and never even heard it discussed.

>Did anyone tell the article writers that the EU used the most coal it ever has in 2022?
that is not even possible,since coal consumption peaked in 1990s in Europe and has dropped by 2/3 by 2021
what kind of lies have you read?

The official name is not Stealth Bomber, it's just B-2. But everyone knows it as the Stealth Bomber

The underground parking in my last place wasn’t heated, so possibly. Covered /= heated.

A slightly less crazy version in Whales. Whales eat krill, who eat planton, who eat co2. When wales die, they normally sink. Carbon stays at the seabed until it ends up in a volcano. I think the numbers say that restoring wales to pre-whaling would offset greeland and fiji completely.

But…we like Greenland and Fiji.
Murder the whales, save Greenland and Fiji!
