I've always wondered why they haven't made swapable batteries for electric cars.

Actually there's a Chinese startup doing (or at least promising) exactly that, apparently with the intent of having a subscription service for being able to use their swap-stations to just drive up and get a new battery. Also these batteries are, like, way better than the normal type.

The newsphere here just went through a big round of scandals related to the various electric-car start-ups here. The advice has come down as either buy Tesla (read, foreign) or BYD (which is the cheapest manufacturer of evs).

Stolen from Vector:

Purpose:
- Challenge ourselves or just keep track of our reads here on B12.
- Build a community of readers.
- Share books we liked, pick up new reads.

How to:
---> CHALLENGE MODE: Set a goal for yourself here in the thread and update regularly on your progress.
---> CHILLAX MODE: Just hang out and vibe, occasionally talk about books, it's all good man.

As far as myself - I'll be quite happy if I can finish 24 books this year.

The phrase "tumor promoter" usually refers to gene sequences that induce tumors, like in genetic engineering, not carcinogens.

Could be, yeah. I took it as a loose translation, but if it's specific... then the entire story is even more far-fetched. Unless the researcher was secretly hitting students with CRISPR.

Update: Was able to give away both copies of The Coffin of Andey and Leyeley to their initial winners. Am still waiting for Delphonso to accept my friend request so I can attempt to gift them Zero Ranger.

Sorry heydude, been away from my computer for a couple days. I'll jump on it tonight.
