Replaceable batteries are coming to the EU in general, at least for portable devices, via the EU Batteries Regulation, which is in force already and requires all portable batteries to be easily removable and replaceable by the end user from 2027
That’s true. And we live in democracies where the many ignorant people can choose who is making the rules. And politicians have learned to exploit this and tell people what they want to hear to get elected. I’m not saying we should abolish democracy, but this system is not very effective in dealing with these kind of problems
Because reality is cruel sometimes and we tend to ignore the unconvenient truths. Al Gore already said it many years ago when we still had a good chance to do something about it, and he was ignored. This problem is too large and incomprehensible for a single human brain. It challenges everything you know about the world we live in. It just can’t be true that this will all go that bad if we don’t act together as mankind and change our way of living. We are doomed because our tiny monkey brains are unable to work this out
Correct. Convection would just annihilate your insulating effect
The water creates a better way to transfer heat from the container to the freezer because it has direct contact with the container and replaces the air around it. Yes the water needs to be cooled too, but still the process is way faster because air really is a good insulator for heat. This is why insulating materials for houses e.g. always try to maximize air content (foam, glass wool, styrofoam)
Yeah I was confused as hell as to which is the original one and which is the new one because I didn’t know if 80cm or 15 inch is longer
