But that would require caring enough to put the effort into deleting the account.

I'd rather just leave my account unused and taking up space. Then I don't have to visit the site.

Considering any new electric cars you buy would have to be made from materials mined and processed, manufactured into a vehicle and then shipped long distances before it even gets to you, keeping your existing car and maintaining it well is possibly better for the environment when the entire life cycle is considered.

There's only so much you can say in a chant. Not a lot of room for nuance...

I'm just talking about storage. Molten salt energy storage is mentioned here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_energy_storage

I thought molten salt storage gets like 90% efficiency. What's the advantage of storing energy by cooling blocks?

What's the advantage of that solution over existing solutions like heating molten salts?

If they don't have a good internet connection available for free for customers with a good mobile website, why would anyone visit and actually struggle through the ordering process?

If they start bleeding unexpectedly just send them to the waiting room while you look it up on YouTube!

Probably got some fancy education like primary school.

I'm going to guess you did more than just watch videos... If you also applied that knowledge in practical work, you did educate yourself on how to use those tools.

Whatever you made is the validation/grading of your education. IMO that's a perfectly valid way to get an education, for those kinds of topics. It's much more risky to grade yourself on abstract knowledge where you can't directly make something and see if it works or not.

In a society with an ageing population mobility assistance is a growing market.

Another commenter summarized the nature article linked in comments... Yes, the salt is left in the pipes, so they are flushed out at night to prevent buildup.
