I believe new orders are pushed back to that sort of time frame, I think they're still planning to deliver units to customers in 4 weeks or so. We'll know for certain then I suppose.

Yep. The thing is, it'd take 10 seconds on a set of kitchen scales to confirm this. If they're trying to prove their battery is what they say, why would they not do this? Drama? This alone has me sceptical.

Here's a thought. If the US is at war, will they use it as an excuse to try to cancel the midterm elections?

My brain says if it looks too good to be true, it probably is, but my heart say here's the answer to man's energy problems in a breakthrough comparable to the steam engine or the transistor. And they way they're dripping some test results... It's like a soap opera for nerds. We'll find out soon.

I'm very much undecided. They've released videos of it charging at very high currents and at high temps (100C) youtu.be/m3zbpym6-1U But they won't tell us the weight of the battery being tested (that would tell us the energy density). 10 seconds on a kitchen scale would answer that!

Is anyone else following the saga of Donut Labs solid state battery? So many SSB's turn out to be vapourware, yet they've said this will be released, working in Verge motorbikes in a month or so. The specs, if right, look amazing. They're starting to drip test results, is it a scam? #donutlabs

Got out for a run on Big Suze last night. Only 35-40mins, but it was great to get out. Joyous.

Lovely to see Reform have their asses handed back to them, AND the Tories lose their deposit. Well done the Greens. People want a left wing government.

I for one fully support our embattled Prime Minister in his decision to relocate Jim Ratcliffe's Manchester United to The Chagos Islands. #GoKier

Big shout out to any #FBI interns who joined up hoping to fight crime, who instead are finding themselves trawling through a pedophile sex trafficker's emails redacting the names of abusers to keep them safe from consequences. Great job. πŸ‘

An Epstein email appears to have the word "don't" redacted.

No, no I can't think of any reason they'd want to redact the word 'don't'. Don t. I can't think of any reason at all.

Palantir was a warning sign.

Keir Starmer choosing to hand our data and security to US tech companies is an outrageous failure of judgment.

All in the name of "investment." What about national security?

Also interesting to see the comparison of the characters of Lincoln, Grant, Lee, etc and how they compare to the current crop.

Well, because of an Onion post this morning I wound up watching Ken Burns 1990 Documentary, The Civil War. All 10 hours of it. It's very good. Interesting to hear the narrator's obvious confusion as to how Americans could be so divided. I assume that's not a mystery to him anymore.

Lead free solder is absolutely fine. People who "can only use" leaded solder are just shit at soldering.
