That’s definitely not a sign that Softbank runs out of money

scams and propaganda

that destination could be still somewhere with access to stranded fuel and with access to other port, like oman, or they could perhaps truck it to yanbu and ship from there, but it doesn’t matter because price increase would probably need to be even bigger for it to make sense. facility would also need to run only on fraction of capacity, and there’s probably no point in that if you can’t export everything that’s made there. currently it might be damaged anyway. what i mean is, there are problems solvable by throwing money at them, but it’s probably not one of these

well it would be if refineries nearby would be running, but they don’t, because there’s no good logistics chain in place

all that jet fuel is right there

for context, this is something that will matter especially for higher-end boards, specifically boards that handle higher frequency signals than usual, think 5G connectivity things, or where engineering margins are thin. if there’s a will, they could fly that plastic pellets out of saudi, or set up other logistics routes, as long as cost increase over just using container ship would be justified. it’ll be only a fraction of mass of laminate in any case

oh now it’s emergency, not when the working containment plan was shitcanned and failed shortly after

here, saved you a read:

The institute also said that Poland had one of the lowest shares of part time workers in the EU at just 6.2% – well below the bloc’s average of 17.7%.

you don’t see a problem with giving money to cryptobros?

If these are supposed to be used as backup generators then gas turbines are a good fit in technical sense. Can start quickly, don’t need a lot of space or cooling, can work on partial load; lead times are somehow short, and you can just pack it all in containers and set up anywhere which seems to be important. The catch is that efficiency is probably just below 40% instead of 60% and slightly above for regular CCGT plant, thst is you need to burn extra 50%-ish gas (methane is cheapest fuel and can just be piped). about anything that burns and can be pumped through a nozzle can be used

Then there’s matter of smog. You’re supposed to put giant catalytic converter (sorta) on this thing and normal powerplants do just that. Apparently techbro oligarchs decided it’s not disruptive enough this way

but dw this won’t last, talking about bubble broke to the mainstream now

don’t let crackheads know about it

propaganda and advertising is one and the same https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pravda_network

it’s a flow battery, so it keeps charge basically indefinitely (when not in use energy-bearing parts are separated). you can run it as hard as you need and it will not degrade in use-dependent way, at least not as hard as lead or lithium batteries

to elaborate on durability, there’s no capacity loss with these batteries. so if design intention is to run these batteries from full to empty and back every day, and maybe a bit more* they can handle it no problem, because everything that happens, happens in liquid phase that can’t degrade. lithium battery will degrade fast with such usage, but this one won’t. on balance, there’s need for pump and electrolyser maintenance, but at least you won’t need to rip apart everything and replace all batteries every 3 years. per kwh per year of use it might be cheaper this way

* they might want this battery to provide energy in the morning, before solar panels kick in, soak up excess energy from noon peak, then discharge it in the evening. that might be 500ish cycles per year, and they can run it at full tilt

flights to east asia are much more expensive from europe, and the cheapest ones were with stopover in one of gulf countries (qatar or uae generally) now you can get direct lufthansa flight over polar circle, but you’ll pay

that’s gonna be wework on meth

good luck with picking and choosing after brainrot as a service does irreparable damage

after 2022 they shat their pants and bought threema license specifically to avoid it, and now migrated from that to matrix (this app)

the few who will stay sharp will have endless job security

yeah it’s element-x
