Better for what?

Moving parts and complexity makes it more prone to failure.

Also, how much energy do you need to keep this working? It's not said on the website.

Granted, both kettle and this zori trade energy and complexity/failure-potential for convenience. Much more so the zori. How much is unknown. On the simple, less-energy end, you'd use an electrical resistance in an insulated jar.

All electric kettles will fail at some point. They have moving parts and are designed for obsolescence.

In my place I use a kettle that allows me to boil 1 cup of water. The filter mesh has failed long ago but the water does not have hardness. Instead I use a small improvised cap to keep the flow of vapour to the cut off thermostat (usually at the bottom of the handle).

The first advise is get expert help.

Find a civil engineer or a structures engineer and ask them.

That crack does not look good. If I remember correctly cracks with more than 1mm gap should not be ignored.

If you don't want to follow any of the previous advise, carefully monitoring for movement on the crack on a medium to long timeframe is, IMHO, the most irresponsible you can be.

Somehow I always think of the migrant boats crossing the Mediterranean. I hope events are unrelated.

I'm not sure I understand your stand. Are u implying nuclear power stations should be made even if not profitable?

Great post! Thanks for this.

Yea, urban trains can work really well. With somewhat overlapping services.

But for longer distances i don't really understand why today's fares are higher than using a car share between 2 people. I've seen that kind of pricing weirdness in Portugal, Spain, England and France, and that does not sound efficient at all.

Thanks! And that is a very fair point.

This somehow reminds me of the plastic industry ploy to discredit cork stoppers and thus get wine with plastic stoppers. ---- No. No, the production of cork does not require the killing of the cork oak tree.

IR's México, warm and dry, it is a pretty safe bet that they'll have evaporative cooling.

The alternative, without evaporative cooling, implies the release of pretty warm water. Which, if you go see has some damnning environmental impacts and can even be the limiting factor in say nuclear plants sizing.

Moreover, you talk as if the withrawal of information by these datacenter companies should be used as justification for "we don't have the whole information why are you assuming the worst". Thats a very flawed logic on itself but ..well, look into some environmental history books and tell me what you see when companies use that argument as justification not to look closer.

In a lot of places the words 'tea' and 'infusion' are used interchangeably. Might be that..

Look for "Portugal: How much of the country’s electricity comes from renewables?" in the bottom quarter.

Thank you! I hope the undecided can choose to see a way in which the USA can become a happier and more balanced society. Instead of just having these weirdos on the menu.

Did not know that. Thanks for the info.

It still surprises me that a 300km train ticket costs about the same per person as taking a car with 2 people paying fuel and highway tolls. A 600 seat optimized 'car' on a dedicated low friction track should be, maybe, 100x cheaper.

Nice. Pancakes and steak is pretty much what my 12" does. And lately, more pancakes than anything else.

10watts on stand-by? That's impressive. I didn't find that info on the website. Can you point me to where that is? plz
