hydrogen sulfide is not anywhere in the same category. When you consider failure you have to consider what is the most catastrophic possibility and if that is “this battery silently kills people” then you dont make it.
Batteries with Prussian blue cannot kill people silently.
Cyanide could be released only at high temperatures, e.g. if the battery is opened and burned, not during normal operation, even if overcharging is not prevented, as it should.
The sulfuric acid from the traditional lead-acid car batteries is more dangerous than this.
We also have to adulterate that methane with bitter smelling agents too warn people of the danger when there's a leak. The line into the house is also limited by a regulator to ensure the pressure is very low. If gas builds up in a battery, it's either going to leak out slowly or build up and leak out all at once.
The methane is almost always piped in to be burned, and that can easily create odorless carbon monoxide. And the smell is not foolproof either. This does routinely kill people and we keep doing it. The jurisdictions that are banning it are doing so because of environmental reasons, not safety.
> hydrogen sulfide is not anywhere in the same category.
It has the same LD50 dose as HCN. It literally _is_ just as bad. It routinely kills people on oil rigs because in lethal concentrations it immediately shuts off your nose.
How often do you hear about people getting poisoned by it from lead-acid batteries?
The only people with any significant amount of lead acid batteries on their property are off grid types who typically store them away from their primary domicile as a fire safety precaution.
Fast charging a car/chemical weapon in your garage isn't terribly appealing.
E.U is replacing their citizens with unvetted violent criminals. They have to vote for whoever gives them free stuff. The powers doing this are upset a company in the U.S allows their citizens to protest it.
Do you honestly not believe it is likely that EU is importing votes?
Also, haven't you seen the general push towards censorship, attempts to ban VPNs, and all the other shenanigans happening in the EU? Do you believe this is disconnected from the legal attempts on Twitter and Telegram?
Is it really a conspiracy theory at this point? Politicians do all kinds of evil shit, but these playbook tactics are where you draw the line?
I'm European and live here, before you say I'm getting these takes on X.
+1 from an European, it's beyond obvious and I don't understand why people are letting {politics, mainstream media painting of X} shape their belief on these extremely pressing and important issues.
Steam, like Origin, is one of the few that refuses to support 3rd party launchers due to DRM. epic and gog both work in heroic launcher. Steam games are no longer usable in systems less than 4GB memory.
Steam has removed all its 32-bit wine compatibility, minimal launcher, and is now no different than any other chromium bloatware. they chose the easiest path and are still struggling to make it work.
>Steam, like Origin, is one of the few that refuses to support 3rd party launchers due to DRM
What exactly do you mean? 3rd party launcher like playnite and lutris work just fine with both of them. Steam DRM is also optional and enabled by the game developer.
The client can be pretty rough but no alternative offers even half of there features.

I think Ubisoft games would like a word. I can't finish AssCreed Brotherhood because the Ubisoft launcher wants me to use a 2FA key which I don't have any more.
Venezuala government calls it an invasion. U.S left with the evidence, do we trust the fascist regime of venezuala or the elected president of the U.S?
It seems like it would be common sense to trust neither party to the conflict to arbitrate such markets. That’s why e.g. for presidential election, the criterion is usually a quorum of different news outlets and not either party running.
valve has continually had problems with their services. this is because theyre both reliant on other services they dont control, and low quality engineering management. the second leads to the first.
