They keep mentioning a 20mph marking but the road in the pic is very clearly a 21mph road

Don't update any arch based distro for long enough and your life will be plenty exciting when you do. Bonus points if you use a non-lts kernel that can blip out of existence at any moment along with all the graphics drivers

It's not that desalinisation is "hard", you could just boil the water for example. It's that it's extremely energy intensive and complex to setup a process that's both repeatable in industrial quantities and can produce enough flow to satisfy demand.

I've been looking at upgrading our battery bank, stationary and in temperate climate so most pros and cons don't apply.
The only one that matters to us is usable Joules per dollar. You'd have to make your own spreadsheet with local pricing but for us assuming 95% usable lifepo and 50% usable agm, agms do come out be be slightly cheaper.
However, since lifepos are expected to last about twice as long we're going with lifepos as they will be a long term investement.

If you're only looking short term and planning on taking good care of them agms are still a valid choice.

Love reading stories like this, shows how amazingly far Linux desktop has come over the last 10 years.
Even Linus had to admit after their botched Linux challenge that printing is just so much easier vs Windows
