This is really cool! Since school busses sit around doing nothing so much, they're considering using their batteries to provide power at peak times. In semi-related news, despite very high demand for EVs, almost half of US car dealerships don't carry EVs, TL;DR: why sell them when they won't make money doing oil changes?

Threads
• I recently shared a post about sea flooding, here's a whole article!
• Thread of recent developments in AI. Apparently Coca-Cola made a commercial using Stable Diffusion!
• Thread about the rise of writing. Early on, there were no paragraphs or punctuation, everything has to be invented by someone.
