"johnnysweekends" testing Automotive 12v sodium-ion car starter battery.

I've been searching for information all over, and it's surprisingly hard to find the details. I see that sodium is much better than lead but not as good as lithium, but cheaper and nontoxic, so I went looking for why Pb batteries aren't dead yet and replaced by Na everywhere.

Looks like the alternators will have to be replaced (or can they be reprogrammed?). Any mechanics or engineers here have additional insights?

Also should be applicable to UPS batteries. Anyone building those?

Fiber is not necessary, and can be the cause of constipation. Your body has ways of managing, and individuals who don't eat fiber have more motility:

"Stopping or reducing dietary fiber intake reduces constipation and its associated symptoms"

> (the feeling of seeing), but it's just an illusion.

Illusion to whom? what is experiencing the illusion?

The feeling is consciousness, so this seems to be just adding an extra step in between.

I believe that the documentation is a huge reason why php became so dominant on the net. Human curated, many real-work examples and helpful comments to get things done.

It's all I needed to learn web dev.
