I just bought an 8V USB-C chargeable drill set off AliExpress. It just happens to be bright pink. Not sure if I'm giving the right impression at the men's shed.

Hydrogen has extreme structural problems. Hydrogen tanks need constant maintenance, due to how small the molecule is - it's very difficult to contain and prevent corrosion. You then have significant conversion loss between the powerplant-native format of electricity, and the hydrogen. So nothing can be as cheap as pure electricity. Fuelling the car with ammonia that then gets converted to Hydrogen inside the car is the solution to the first problem, but further increases the loss on the second.

What you're describing sounds like a small, high-capacity battery to me! Like a super AA battery. Maybe in 50 years :)

People prefer cards over carrying cash though, and you have to kinda work to collect the cashback. Most don't bother, which is why the system is profitable overall.

Honestly I think you're better off extracting money from a large corporation you don't like (if you can, it's obviously difficult) compared to ignoring them.

For example, if you really hate a company, flood their sales line with nonsensical calls. It'll usually be a domestic agent for the sales line, and in Australia at least the average cost to answer a call fully loaded, charged by a call centre management company, is around $30AUD. You also increase demand for low paid workers. If you could figure out a way to do this en-masse for a company without annoying the individual agent, you could do some serious financial damage in a way that's probably legal.

Edit: If I hated a company, and I had a lonely/senile relative, I would give them a special phone where every button on the phone called the sales line. That way the elderly relative gets a chat and keeps their brain active, and you get to cost the company hundreds of dollars a day. The sales agent is also unlikely to be bothered by an occasional chat with a senile person to break up their day.

Just take the item and run. Underhanded tactics deserve underhanded tactics

America has hollowed out its public school system, and then wonders why products of that system have reduced in quality?

Azure rules the roost now in Australia

SoundCloud has enormous variety. Are they jerks too?

Good thoughtful post! Gonna watch it

I really want to know why MST3K comes up on these lists so often. I sat down to watch it and it was just some shitty old movie being watched by 2 semi-funny average joes. Like, Gogglebox is better, and that's not even good. What am I missing??
