humans start breathing only when 3 years old, don’t you know?

This will continue as long as there are CCGTs used as baseload, then it will drop as CCGTs (and biomass + waste burners) will cover the gaps

methane cracker? that’s a very unusual unit that outputs hydrogen and carbon. i could find info about opening of ethane cracker in 2025, but that’s for plastics, next to shutdown of another similar unit

Lithium-iron is about 2x more expensive, there might be different availability and energy use during manufacture is probably higher

Lead-acid batteries work if you don’t care about weight and lithium-iron phosphate if you do

You can’t critihype it when you call it phage madlibs from the beginning

waaaaay less impressive when you take a look inside

Once Evo got familiar with the genomes of Phi X-174 and its kin, the researchers prompted the model to write new versions of its own. Evo generated 700,000 potential versions; the scientists pursued only the ones that looked as if they had the best odds of succeeding.

They ended up making DNA molecules from 285 of Evo’s suggested sequences. […] All told, they discovered that 16 of Evo’s genomes produced viable new viruses.

Dr. Crook cautioned that Evo’s viruses were not radically new creations. They tend to be very similar to natural species, relying on the same underlying biology.

you see, you can be as wrong as you want to be. i won’t be teaching you middle school level chemistry against your will in a comment section. in concrete Ca2+ remains Ca2+, be it as hydroxide or carbonate or silicate and it cannot become reduced in normal concrete conditions and definitely it can’t be oxidized.

The Calcium Carbonate degrades into Calcium Oxide

no it fucking doesn’t, this is what happens when cement is prepared in a kiln. near surface of curing concrete calcium hydroxide captures carbon dioxide from air, then this crust of precipitate blocks it from moving deeper. which is why the rest of calcium hydroxide reacts with silica forming calcium silicate, which takes more time and is responsible for late strengthening. before you lost plot i was talking about oxidation of steel rebar, and it depends on many things, but for regular carbon steel if there’s no oxygen then it’s much slower. and because concrete is not very permeable to oxygen, there are all these engineering requirements about how deep rebar has to be. anyway, a little bit of vinegar would be just neutralized by calcium hydroxide from concrete and won’t do anything, a little bit of salt would be diluted massively and also won’t do anything, hydrogen peroxide would decompose because anything will do that

there are also more damage-susceptible things in a datacenter

calcium carbonate is still basic and even hydrogen carbonate is basic enough to be protective against steel corrosion

The Calcium Carbonate once dissolved in water will start to form the Calcium Hydroxide layer on the surface, thats the alkaline layer, and deeper in the carbonation creates acidity.

100% wrong, how come there’s more carbon dioxide inside than outside, you’re starting from calcium hydroxide and silicate. on the surface there’s some carbonate formation from carbon dioxide, but when it can’t get there calcium silicate forms instead. either way both are basic

coated rebar isn’t, it’ll always get dinged somewhere. stainless is expensive and the real available scalable option is either galvanized or sometimes basalt fiber, or glass fiber but i’ve not heard about it too much. the most important factor in slowing down corrosion is how thick concrete layer is on top of rebar, because concrete is very slightly porous and will let oxygen in, but the thicker that layer is, the slower oxygen gets to rebar, then the slower corrosion is, and this means it takes longer for rust layer to grow enough for concrete around rebar to fail due to swelling, because rust takes more volume than corroding steel

a bit of vinegar might strip zinc layer, but won’t do too much and definitely it won’t matter long term until most of zinc layer is gone. salt also promotes corrosion but this also depends on oxygen availability and won’t be too fast, it would only matter if there’s salt in concrete in large amounts
