What unusual weather event occurred in San Francisco?
good good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization while it lasts if you'd like to take this experience up to levels that nobody can even understand with their tiny shiny human brains All you need for that is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tank or a chalice or a stein, a canteen, a jug or a flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine. At the end of the day, the thing that makes everything better, it's called the simultaneous sip and it happens. Now, go. That's just the best. Well, here's my update. The San Francisco area has a very unusual warning. They're warning of tornadoes. Now, as far as I know, I've lived here all my life in the Bay Area.
I don't think there's ever been a tornado watch for San Francisco. Now, I'm about an hour outside of San Francisco. And early this morning, it might have been 5 a.m. ish. there was a sound outside my house that sounded like a starship was landing on my lawn. And I said, is that just the rain? Cause we're having, you know, wind and rain situation here, but I'd never heard anything like it. It sounded like this huge roar, like there was an airplane directly over my house, but closer than one had ever been. And then it stopped. after maybe 30 seconds. And then several minutes later, there was another one that was the same. And I don't know what they are. However, I went to perplexity and I asked it, what does a tornado sound like?
They said if you're near a tornado, it sounds like a freight train. That's exactly what it sounded like. It sounded like I was standing next to a freight train in my yard. So I'm not positive, and I got a message from somebody in San Jose who would be about an hour from me. So they'd be an hour south of me, southwest. An hour away, somebody said they felt they heard the same thing. An hour away. What was so loud that San Jose and where I live an hour away could hear something like a freight train? I don't know what that was, but I'm guessing tornadoes or little twisters or something. So there might have been a tornado somewhere in my neighborhood just an hour ago. I don't know. Nothing happened at my house that I know of. All right. Maybe we'll find out.
Would you be surprised to know that there are major breakthroughs in battery technology? No, really. Every day I tell you new ones. According to the brighter side of news, NASA has some big breakthrough. They've got a solid-state sulfur-selenium battery that has the potential to revolutionize the aviation industry. Well, there you go. I'm pretty sure that these drones are electric-powered, but we'll talk about that later. So So NASA has a big battery breakthrough that will be good for aircraft. Meanwhile, according to No Ridge, there's a zinc-based battery that's being developed. Case Western Reserve University made a breakthrough. Now, what would be special about a zinc-based battery? is that it could be made with all normal, easy to find minerals. So you wouldn't, minerals, is that the right word? But you wouldn't need lithium and you wouldn't need the hard to find stuff. So those are just two, I think there was a third one today. Now remember, the reason I tell you about this is not that these specific breakthroughs are important.
What's important to know is that this whole domain of battery storage is going to go crazy. I mean, if any of these breakthroughs work, you're doubling, tripling, quadrupling your performance of your batteries, that changes everything. It doesn't just give you a little extra mileage in your electric car. It allows you to power your house without being connected to the grid, create all kinds of aircraft that can fly with electricity alone. It's a big deal. It would be a civilization-changing shift, and there's no way it's going to not happen. Meanwhile, according to NDTV, there's a new study that said there might be so much hydrogen... trapped under the ground, that it could end the fossil fuel era. In other words, there's 26 times more of the hydrogen in the underground than there is known oil reserves. There's only one problem. So we've got 26 times more of this energy source than the one we use. Problem is, we don't know where it is. It's somewhere trapped in the planet.
