Solid-state car batteries require a higher density of rare earth minerals.

They are currently under development.

I’ve only been following it for a couple of years so don’t know much about older batteries. The article I linked to above mentioned that some hybrids use cerium in their batteries.

As the president mentioned, cobalt does have some big problems in its extraction and is often mistaken for a rare earth metal, but the newer batteries are often not using cobalt. Rare earth metals are used in other parts of the vehicle, as they are for ICE vehicles.

I’m.going to New York state in the fall for a weekend. This reminds me that I want to check one out someday. But no luck, no locations in New York.

Well I’m of the opinion that you’re not missing anything worth experiencing. I hated it. But it was so insanely crowded… it’s kind of like the Yogi-ism “Nobody goes there anymore; it’s too crowded.”

Somebody must love it or it wouldn’t be so busy.

Oh it’s not necessarily the experience for what it is, just to go see something that’s so different.

We did white castle years ago for the same reason. Yeah, food was nasty, ill never go back, but I had fun trying it.

Fair enough. There are WAY better fast food places than White Castle… I never understood the fascination with that place.

Cincinnati’s Skyline Chili was recently voted the country’s best fast food by… some outfit. My Facebook feed was all a twitter when it happened… dunno maybe a few weeks ago?

Was it by Skyline Chili by any chance?

Hahaha, I don’t think so!

I thought it’s meh enough that I looked it up. Best regional fast food by USA Today, fwiw.

Here’s their full top 10 10 best regional fast food chains in the country

Fast food places can have some items that require a fork to eat, but I am going to DQ a place where it’s core offering requires it.

Mmmmm… now I’m craving a 3-way.

Yeah, many items at Skyline require a fork, including their signature “ways”. But it really is fast. If you eat in the dining room they come and take your order, but you have your food like 60 seconds later.

You should review what you have typed before you click “reply.”

I feel like this has been a topic of discussion before

I have reviewed my post and it does not contain a typo / error.

I’m thinking maybe after church tomorrow I’ll get a 3-way. Mmmmmm… can’t wait!

Awesome!


I used the still image last time, so I’ll bump it up to the next level!!!

Respectfully, if you aren’t having a four way I think you’re doing it wrong.

I am a simple girl; I prefer 3-ways.
