A New Battery In Development Means We Might Be Able to Spend The Day On Venus Thermal batteries can utilize the ambient atmospheric conditions to heat a special high-temperature electrolyte that is solid and inert at standard room temperature.
planet earth might be lousy with hydrogen deposits. If so, best news all day!
After riders getting assaulted and murdered by drivers over the last few weeks I expect a huge wall of bikes today leaving West Oakland Bart at 1 PM. map of route attached

The water level at Lake Powell, the massive reservoir on the Colorado River whose southern reaches straddle the Utah-Arizona border, hit a record low this week, sinking to just 3,522 feet above sea level. A 23-year megadrought combined with climate change has left the reservoir at just 22 percent of its capacity—so low that it […]

Nigerians getting rugged
The Central Bank of Nigeria began circulating newly designed banknotes worth 1,000, 500 and 200 naira (2.03, 1.02 or 0.41 euros) on December 15, 2022. The move was intended to replace dirty, old cash currently in circulation, tackle inflation and counterfeiting, as well as promote a cashless society.
The old banknotes were set to expire on February 10, before Nigeria's President Muhammadu Buhari extended the deadline for citizens to continue using their old 200 naira banknotes until April 10. The 500 and 1,000 naira notes must be exchanged or deposited in banks.
But a lack of new notes in the banks – as well as allegations that banks are hoarding the new notes – have left people desperate, with lines forming outside banks and at ATMs.

I predict a similar event from the Biden administration #[0]
DeveloperWeek hackathon this weekend requires a video. a git-nostr proof of concept. I didn't get very far, but this runs through upload/downloading git patches via nostr. Still trying to get to feature parity with git-ssb.
git-nostr will be adding content (git patches base64) to nostr messages. Not up for debate because single source of truth on a publicly known git repo is a target for censorship. https://github.com/colealbon/git-nostr.
I bet one of your relays is down and Snort Social is waiting for a timeout. I've had sort of the same problem on Astral and it went away when I found and deleted the offending relay.
