Where I live, the grid operator (Ausgrid) is about to start installing a 300Mwh battery installation just down the road.

Glad to see progress finally happening, lots more of this please.

For me, it's gotta be Peacemaker, decent song, totally out of place dancing, love it.

What is the oldest thing you own that you still use daily? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
[–] carbs@lemmy.world 79 points 3 weeks ago

I have a cheap plastic hair brush my mum bought me over 40 years ago when I was about 6 or 7, she said it cost a dollar and surprised I still use it daily.

There is nothing wrong with it, so it lives on.

This common over-the-counter drug could be linked to dementia in c/TheIndependent@metawire.eu
[–] carbs@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

They are referring to first generation antihistamines, possibly:

  1. Diphenhydramine (Benadryl)
  2. Chlorpheniramine (Chlor-Trimeton)
  3. Brompheniramine (Dimetapp)
  4. Doxylamine (Unisom)
  5. Promethazine (Phenergan)
  6. Hydroxyzine (Atarax, Vistaril)
  7. Meclizine (Antivert)

I'm not an expert, but that is what I found.

Geologists doubt Earth has the amount of copper needed to develop the entire world in c/technology@lemmy.world

I'm not defending the article, but I think most overhead power lines are aluminium, which is probably good as it's abundant compared to copper.

What's a highly-rated, critically acclaimed TV series that you couldn't get into, or have no interest in? in c/Television@lemm.ee
[–] carbs@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I only had to suffer through the ending, still makes me mad.

The story, if anyone is bored...

I was on a work retreat/hack-a-thon and the final episode was being broadcast that night. I'd tried and failed to find any part of game of thrones interesting in the past, I'd never seen a complete episode.

Everyone is there glued to the TV, I'm at the dinning room table trying to get some kind of work done, but ended up watching most of the episode.

What a massive pile of crap I thought to myself, no idea what these people are on about.

I'm glad everyone agreed it sucked, but really annoyed that is the only episode I've seen, and I will never waste my time on it.

Portugal approaches Saab to purchase Gripen fighter jets following withdrawal from US F-35 program in c/buyeuropean@feddit.uk

Australia should too, although we already have bunch of the shitty F-35's, they are faulty by design, so maybe we can return them for a full refund.

I'd say the people of Greenland are way safer under Denmark than the US for one simple reason, public healthcare.

And other public safety nets to prevent people dying.
