What is the highlight of Human Civilization?
Let's see if our comments are working. And then we've got a show for you. It'll be amazing. First one to make a Star Wars pun gets one demerit. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of Human Civilization, Sunday edition. If you'd like to take your experience up to levels that nobody can even understand with their tiny, shiny human brains, well, all you need for that is a cup or mug or a glass of tank or Chelsea Stein, a canteen jug or 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 of the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip, and it's going to happen right now. Right now. EJ says, Scott, you're a dishonest man. I'll drink to that. I like to see the comments from the terrible people. Let me just insult your character, and we'll start from there. All right.
Well, I've got a movie recommendation for you. So the other day I watched the new year 2025 Captain America. Now, if you haven't seen it... Captain America is black this time, but he's not the only Captain America, because I guess the idea is there's more than one Captain America, and there was an original one, and then there were a few others, and then there's the 2025 version. But the new one is black, and the original one is also black. So there were two Captain Americas in this movie, and they both starred. and they were both black Captain Americans. But the news is that Disney wanted more from Marvel, but now it wants less. I guess the people are getting tired of the superhero genre, but maybe they're getting tired of just remaking everything to be woke. Maybe.
I don't know. It was an okay movie. It wasn't really any better or any worse than the other ones. which are all kind of boring at this point. I don't think any of the superhero movies are worth watching. So we'll see. Australia is launching the world's largest battery-powered ship. It can carry up to 2,100 passengers and 225 vehicles, and it's entirely battery-powered. Now, of course, you're going to ask, what happens if there's a battery fire? Do you jump into water with the sharks, or do you let it burn you up? I don't know. I don't know. I'm just telling you that there's the world's biggest battery-powered, I think it's some kind of a shuttle. And it's 426 feet long. It's a big-ass boat. Here's another story that I like a lot, if I understand it.
How does the SunRun Solar Battery System work?
So in California... probably other places too. There are companies like Tesla that will sell you a battery for your home. So you might have solar panels and then you charge up your own home battery. So you've got some backup power. But another company that does that is Sunrun and their CalReady system. And apparently what they've done is they've networked together 56 companies thousand homes that have their batteries and If you have enough solar panels on enough houses and they each have their own batteries Apparently you can turn it into Essentially its own its own power system So even though that's fifty six thousand homes that are connected it would power two hundred and eighty thousand homes and which would be the equivalent of all of Ventura County.
Now, if I'm understanding this correctly, this would be one of the greatest energy accomplishments of all time. Because if you just have your own solar panels and your own battery, it's kind of good. But if things go bad, you might not have enough battery personally. But apparently, if you've got all of these batteries connected, you don't have to worry too much about ever running out of energy. So that's pretty impressive. And then the people who become part of the network get paid. So they get paid for being part of the network, and they get pretty good power. Allegedly, Hyundai, the automaker, they've got a plant in Georgia And they're going to use Atlas robots to automate their plant. So do you believe that? I feel like all the robot stories are a little premature.
