Hydrogen vs. Batteries: Why Lithium Reigns Supreme (for Now) in Electric Vehicles

The dream of clean transportation powered by hydrogen fuel cells seems straightforward: burn clean fuel made from water. However, a closer look reveals significant energy losses throughout the hydrogen life cycle, making it less efficient than lithium-ion batteries, the current leader in electric vehicles (EVs). The Energy Drain of Hydrogen Production: Separating hydrogen from water…

Global plugin vehicle registrations were up 38% in June 2023 compared to June 2022, rising to 1,260,00 units. In the end, plugins represented 19% share of the overall auto market (13% BEV share alone). This means that the global automotive market is firm in the Electric Disruption Zone. 

Full electric vehicles (BEVs) represented 70% of plugin registrations in March, keeping the year-to-date tally also at 70% share.

As a side note, fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) are down 25% year over year (YoY), and if 2023 ends with a drop in fuel cell vehicle sales, it will already be the second year in a row with falling sales. Was 2021 the peak year for fuel cells?…

Will the future of cars be hydrogen or electric?

The future of cars and trucks is evolving rapidly, and the pivotal question remains… As governments worldwide mandate zero emissions, companies are juggling as they try to determine which technology will prevail. At LiquidPiston, we are confident that hydrogen holds great promise, in addition to electric, placing us ahead of the game either way. And hydrogen is not that far away – look who’s…

Not a request, just felt like rambling about something Resident Evil and Parasite Eve inspired (don’t worry if you’re not familiar with the latter game) uhhhhhhhhhh

So Reader is a Galaxy Ranger and what makes Reader unique among them is their remarkable resistance (perhaps even immunity) to the horrible side-effects and mutations of the Abundance. For example, they’re clearly long-lived, yet the mara-inducing medications concocted by the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus have no effect on Reader whatsoever. This is because Reader’s cells and genetics have adapted to the effects of the Abundance while still resisting its corruption, eventually evolving to coexist.

This kind of resistance / immunity makes Reader the perfect agent to send in when it comes to eliminating monsters mutated by the Abundance (and also certain enemies following Yaoshi, like Sanctus Medicus); and this is actually what Reader specializes in, neutralizing / putting down Abundance mutations while hunting down the people responsible for creating those mutations.

But this also means that Reader is the perfect research subject for those seeking immortality / researching the Abundance and have less scruples going about it (Elixir Seekers, Disciples of Sanctus Medicus, Denizens of Abundance, Vidyadhara Preceptors, Intelligentsia Guild, Genius Society, etc) so their guard is up almost 24/7.

I’ve been trying to think of who would be most fitting to pair with Reader in this kind of situation: Dan Heng, Blade, Jing Yuan, Feixiao, Ruan Mei, Jiaoqiu, Jingliu, Boothill, Acheron—

And so far, I feel like Dan Heng x Reader x Boothill would be a really cute and silly dynamic.

Like, there’s a Preceptor in cahoots with Taoran and menacing Reader trying to get Reader’s blood samples—

BOOM! In comes Boothill with a right hook and the Preceptor is knocked out cold, while Dan Heng is shaking his head the background. 😂

Okay, first of all, this concept? Absolutely sick. Reader being this walking enigma of Abundance resistance, both the ultimate weapon against its corruption and the ultimate prize for those who want to exploit it? That’s some peak bio-horror and cosmic horror vibes right there.

The fact that everyone wants a piece of them—from the Sanctus Medicus cultists to the morally gray scientists of the Genius Society—means they’re in constant danger, always watching their back. But at the same time, they’re a necessary force in the galaxy, actively hunting down the worst monstrosities that crawl out of Abundance-fueled nightmares. They’re a legend, both feared and coveted.

And then you throw in Dan Heng and Boothill? Oh, the contrast there is perfect.

Dan Heng—stoic, disciplined, reserved. He’s probably the one keeping Reader grounded, making sure they don’t burn themselves out, subtly watching their back while pretending he’s not stressed about their constant life-threatening missions. He understands the burden of being hunted, of having something inside you that others want to control. The quiet moments between them, where he teaches them how to center themselves, where he reminds them that they aren’t just a tool to be used? Chef’s kiss.

Boothill—the absolute chaos gremlin. While Dan Heng is all about strategy and control, Boothill is just like, “Ain’t no one takin’ ya if they’re six feet under, partner.” No patience for creepy cultists or shady scientists, just pure cowboy violence. He sees Reader getting cornered by some Abundance-obsessed researcher, and before they can even monologue about immortality, bam! Boothill’s already decked them. And Dan Heng is off to the side with a deep sigh, rubbing his temples because this is the third time this week.

The dynamic between these three would be hilarious and heartwarming. Reader, who’s used to being on high alert at all times, suddenly has Boothill causing problems for them and Dan Heng subtly making sure they don’t lose themselves in the constant war they’re fighting. Boothill makes things fun, Dan Heng makes things meaningful, and together they’d be an unstoppable trio.

10/10, I fully support this chaos. 👍

What is a favorite fact that you like but feel like you never have a chance to share? More than one favorite is also totally acceptable.

This is a tough one because as soon as I learn a new fact I tell everyone around me that fact repeatedly. Some of my favs:

Our fuel doesn't come from dinosaurs as the internet likes to say but actually mostly fossilized algae and plant matter!

Barnacles may have the largest penis to body size ratio of any animal.

Our mitochondria was actually it's own little organism before "we" (the single celled ancestor of all eukaryotes) swallowed it up and instead of digesting it, put it to use. That's why mitochondria have their own set of DNA. All human mitochondria can in theory be traced back to a "mitochondrial Eve" because we inherited 100% of our mitochondrial DNA from our mother and there is very little recombination compared to the rest of out DNA. There is also a y-chromosome Adam but that's only traceable in much more recent history because of more recombination and mutation, and also because only half the population have y-chromosomes.

Antlers are actually technically a type of cancer! In a simplified way, antlered animals have evolved to use these cancer cells and not be killed by them!

Soap is made from fats! Therefore bodies decomposing in specific cold low oxygen environments actually "turn into" soap in a process called saponification!
