  • Hydrogen for cars is not… let’s just say it’s not great.
    Granted: the cars drive very well (try it if you have the chance) and the fuel cells give them a serious range. However, distribution of fuel similar to regular gas is hard. Storage is dangerous, and pipelines continuously leak (H2 molecules are very small). Hydrogen gas cannot be mixed with stinky stuff that will warn you if the gas is leaking. It is much harder to keep under pressure than oil or regular natural gas. And last but not least: it is very inefficient to generate, the electricity used to generate it from (sea)water is significant and could have been used to charge batteries directly (note that it’s currently mostly distilled from natural gas, about 90% iirc). Mind you: I know it’s useful, just not for cars.






  • This is the best answer. Torrents / possibly illegal downloads are a big no-no in many countries, if you’re truly a movie addict: buy a portable dvd drive and a bunch of movies (2nd hand can be very cheap nowadays). Additional advantage: internet access is still not very good in many places. On VPNs: there are several options, a commercial one like Nord, your company’s (never, ever torrent over your company networks!) or a self hosted. My home router can run ipsec and wireguard services, yours possibly too. DO REMEMBER: VPN traffic is very recognisable, if the local ISP thinks it’s sus, questions may be asked; better be careful.

    In all the famous cases, Chernobyl, Fukushima, Three Mile Island, and Sellafield, it was close enough to a real disaster. Sure, only some people died, some more got radiation poisoning, cancer, even more lost their pets, their homes, their livelihoods, quite some animals died… thank god that’s “low on the harmless scale”.
