  • China launches world’s largest electric container ship with 50 MWh battery

  • you depend on the wind blowing.

    For achieving maximum speed, sure. To simply guarantee you get there? Not at all - the Iberians knew how to navigate solely on maritime currents 500 years ago.

    If sails were that great we would still be using them for freight, we didn’t switch to petroleum for the fun of it.

    We started using pretroleum because capitalism requires infinite growth as fast as you can muster it. Particularly with modern refrigeration techniques and automation, time insensitive navigation for transport could easily be done with sails.

  • I'd say with Lithium, that's only bad news.

  • You took the worst possible path to calculate all of this. Just compare energy to energy, that's the whole point of Watts.

  • The average person is notoriously shit at doing objective analysis, so yeah, you shouldn't trust people you know.

  • It's objectively more effective to exercise more than to eat less. There are countless studies on the subject.

  • People can get fat if they eat as much as I do

    Then its up to those people to fucking get out of their asses and exercise. It's one thing to be fat because of a health issue like hypothyroidism, and a whole different thing to choose being fat. In either case, you can't really demand people to think an unhealthy, droopy and blobby body is beautiful, all you can ask is for people to not be rude about it.

    Here's a very apt comparison: I suffer from hyperhidrosis, a condition which makes me sweat 100% of the time regarless of temperature. Which do you think more reasonable: that I wear deodorant, refresh myself and shower often; or that I demand people to live with and enjoy my body odour?

  • Why do people say "Catholics and Christians" in (USA) when Catholics are also Christians, as if they refer to it as a different religion.

    Jump

  • I didn't mean to imply a relation between YHWH and Assyria, but rather link the Assyrian culture of appending god names to important figures' names and the Canaanite culture of appending "-el" to indicate allegiance.

  • The early Abrahamic and general Canaanite religions are super interesting, I absolutely recommend reading on them. Now, considering I'm neither a historian nor a linguistics expert, take anything I say with a grain of salt.From my understanding and memory on the subject, "El" was used as the noun "god", as the name of the Canaanite chief god, who would later be usurped by YHWH, and as a title of sorts, meant to indicate gods and important people supposedly affiliated with the pantheon chieftain. I believe the latter is related to the older Assyrian culture, it certainly follows the same pattern. The first and second cases weren't widely concurrent, however - there is a clear trace telling us the original pantheon leader lost influence over time before being relegated to "just another god" and finally getting absorbed into the figure of YHWH, a bit like how Odinn slowly faded into the background of Nordic religion as Thor became the figure you'd pray to.

    In short: both of your scenarios are right, but at different points in history (except they weren't monotheistic at first).
