If you can, you should add verb form/conjugation practice and/or something to help learn the functions of all the particles. I'm too committed to using anki for my vocab to switch to another tool at this point but I would love to find FOSS software that helps me with my grammer.
The process you're looking for is called loudness normalization. You want to batch normalize your audio files to a set LUFS value(probably around - 14LUFS). I think there is a way to do this in batch proccessing with audacity.
Straight out of the Rockefeller playbook. First you sell your product(s) at a loss to out compete any and all local options until you have a full or partial monopoly on your product(s) , then you hike the prices after the competition is forced to go out of business because they can't compete with you.
Fuck Amazon, buy from literally anyone else if you have the option.
And I declare Palantir execs and shareholders the defenders of sucking on their own chodes.
That's the nice thing about free speech, you can say whatever you want, to whomever you want. Ironic that Palantir is helping the federal government undermine it.
That's not bad, but how about instead of prohibiting them from existing, we make it so that any organized religion that operates solely as a business gets heavily taxed instead(and put that tax towards public education). If you prohibit all religion, then it just goes underground, or pays off fines, etc. Better to let them legally exist In a way that actually benefits society imho.
All fair points, though I would argue that the main reason we transport oil isn't because it's cheap, it's because we kind of have to. You can generate electricity pretty much anywhere, oil has to come from specific holes in the ground.
Gas stations, tanker trucks, oil pipelines, ect were all originally built because we needed those things in order to make the things that use them go, including most of the things that bring the finished oil products to us.
And yes, it would be costly and impractical to move uncharged batteries back to where they are charged.
If anything, I think this comversation highlights the absurdity of modern oil infrastructure when compared to electric.
With electricity you can build machines that sustainably harvest it, keep the power generation away from the things it's used for, and transmit it efficiency at a low cost(albeit not overseas). While on the other hand, oil must be mined in a specific location, transported, refined, transported again, and burned at the appliance, never to be used again. I know I'm preaching to the choir here but I really think the only thing holding renewable electric power back is politics, like oil subsidies and the like.
Well yes I agree running power cables between continents is generally unviable(I was thinking more along a neighboring country/state scale). For your example, it would make the most sense to just build seperate infrastructure and have both countries be energy independent imo.
Allow me to address the battery concerns though. There are batteries that do not require rare earth minerals, and even if you do use ones that require them, once they've been used past their lifespan(which is still 1000s of times more uses than gas, which is single use), those rare earth minerals don't just vaporise and go away(like gas), they can be recycled into newer batteries, and for a fraction of the overall effort of mining new rare earth minerals.
In any case, my original point is that you can in fact "bottle" and transport renewable energy, even across continents, even if it makes no sense to do so.
And honestly, If every country had enough oil reserves, it probably wouldn't make much sense for oil either
I use both. Pangolin for anything that absolutely requires an external connection, netbird for internal.
