200MWh is about 1/100 of Little Boy, the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima.

Compressed air can get out all at once given the right circumstances.

Storing energy in a way that can go boom is something I'd be a little scared of, were I a nearby resident. I'm sure thermal batteries can have gnarly failure mechanisms but I would way rather live near one of those than a giant compressed air cylinder.

It's ~~turtles~~ next guys all the way down I guess.

Right now the only thing I genuinely feel is missing that would increase my happiness, is an exercise routine.

I'll put in a plug for cycling. You can nerd out over the latest bike gear, restore vintage bikes, or just pay the nice folks at your local bike shop to set you up and focus on the riding, it's up to you!

You can also ride "unplugged," or you can measure speed, cadence, heart rate, even power output (if you spend $$$)---again, something for everyone!

Good luck!

I hate meta as much as the next guy, but according to this they are the #3 organization in terms of kernel contributions, behind only Intel and Red Hat...

I got a lot of problems with you people! And now you're gonna hear about it!

13, without the pillow, is kinda how babies/toddlers sometimes sleep (once they can roll over).

How does the 2016 slaying of Harambe affect the gorilla bdsm market, and specifically, what's the impact on Go-spank's value? Do I need to diversify before 2016, or do I double down?

Sorry for such a newb question.

But once you got that XFree86 config dialed in, life was awesome.

(Ok looks like Xorg has been around for 21 years, so maybe you were running it instead.)

That works for linear motion but not for rotation---that requires acceleration (provided by gravity).

(I know, it's a meme comment and I'm being pedantic...)

Per the Linux kernel coding style:

Tabs are 8 characters, and thus indentations are also 8 characters. There are heretic movements that try to make indentations 4 (or even 2!) characters deep, and that is akin to trying to define the value of PI to be 3.
