The Amazon store is pretty bad at any kind of product discovery or helping me make informed decisions. There’s way too much junk there, reviews are mostly useless, and there’s no guarantee of actually receiving the product as advertised.

2·5 days agoWhich is a fair claim to make. I don’t know why you went with “EV batteries aren’t safe over 40⁰C”, which is clearly False based on the source you cited, then went on a whole roundabout talking about how it’s not safe at 45C, then 70C, then how active cooling is inefficient while citing the efficiency of Peltier devices. Your top-level comment was fine. Nothing else you said after that made any sense.

2·5 days agoA quick lesson on logical reasoning:
If you want to show that a piece of technology A is inefficient and you know that another piece of tech B is more efficient, then you can use the inefficiency of B as evidence for the inefficiencies of A. Basically, for some inefficiency threshold T where any value above T is poor efficiency, then A>B and B>T means that A>T.
Here, we’re comparing vapour-compression (A) and solid state (B) heat pumps. Solid states are much more inefficient. So you have A<B and B>T. You can’t use this to make any claims about the relationship between A and T.

Max 60°C: Continuous high temperature use will accelerate battery aging and capacity decay. If the temperature exceeds 70°C, the risk of thermal runaway will increase dramatically.

2·5 days agoIt makes more sense if you read the context. They’re responding to a comment that said this:
I guess you don’t understand active cooling then. If the coolest air in front of you is ~160⁰F, well that’s the coolest your batteries are gonna get, at best. Which is way hotter than rated temperatures for lithium batteries…
A response that says “it’s not X” can be interpreted as “it’s not doing the thing you said it’s doing”. In this case, over_clox is saying that heat transfers directly from the battery to the air.

6·6 days agoAcceptable range: 0°C to 45°C (32°F to 113°F). Below 10°C, the charging rate may be limited. It is recommended to charge the battery at 0~10°C and 0.2C rate. Above 45°C, there is a risk of battery charging.
Eh?
Above 45°C, there is a risk of battery charging.

5·6 days agoBased on the image they shared, the heat goes into the refrigerant, which then goes to a radiator to transfer into the outside air.
It doesn’t use outside air in the sense that the battery doesn’t transfer heat directly to the outside air. There’s the refrigerant between the two.
Pretty much any old software dev job in the US in the past 20 years would’ve gotten you there. Bonus points if you stay with your parents the whole time so you avoid housing costs, then buy in a low cost of living area.

Firm tofu does a better job of absorbing flavours than the soft kind. The easiest thing you can do is to drop it into a soup with nicely flavoured broth.
When you have something like miso soup where they use soft tofu, they usually cut it very small so the flavour doesn’t need to penetrate.
Except for that one time I actually needed a key made. Went to a place with blanks displayed on the wall and they told me they didn’t make them anymore because they didn’t have anyone who knew how to use the machine.

That’s what they do here in Canada.
I’ll add that things should also fail gracefully. If something breaks, they should all revert back to working like the dumb equivalent. Dumb switches, dumb thermostat, etc.
This is why both parents should get parental leave. I just took care of all the nights and slept through half the day while my partner handled those hours. Neither of us had to deal with sleep deprivation.
In my opinion, grilled cheeses really need that bit of acidity to be great grilled cheeses.
Pressure cook a whole rotisserie chicken (bones, meat, and all) for 20ish minutes for amazing chicken stock.
Better yet, eat the meat and pressure cook the bones. You still get great chicken stock, and also get to enjoy some good chicken. If one bird doesn’t give you enough bones, freeze it until you accumulate enough.
