is looking at... 25-26? Probably going to 32-33 after getting the PhD.

UmbralRaptor: also, if you can get to 30, would you want to go there >_>

I get like 27-28
<TheKosmonaut>
What do you get at 30?
<TheKosmonaut>
Wait. What is that English assessment thing?

"No shelf life limitations as zinc–bromine batteries are non-perishable, unlike lead–acid and lithium-ion batteries, for example." "The need to be fully discharged every few days to prevent zinc dendrites that can puncture the separator"
<Iskierka>
THAT SOUNDS LIKE A DAMN SHELF LIFE TO ME
<Lyneira>
Maybe they're talking about how long the battery can be stored while completely discharged
<Iskierka>
Which is literally years for lithium batteries. There does not seem to be a known shelf life for a lithium battery at storage voltages
<Iskierka>
they only decay when stored at close to maximum voltage
<Iskierka>
Reading a little more that may be their meaning but it is not an advantage over lithium batteries. It may be a small advantage over lead-acid but no-one uses them any more
<Lyneira>
We just got some replacement lead-acid batteries for our office server's UPS >.>
<Iskierka>
No-one uses them in new systems
<Iskierka>
voltage compatibility may mean old systems keep them in production
<Lyneira>
But I agree they look pretty bad on paper compared to newer stuff... Maybe their cost is still an advantage
<Iskierka>
apparently a small advantage but their cycle durability, density, self-discharge and density are all pretty bad

TheKosmonaut: the list is from a proposal to restrict immigration to the US. Need 30 points to qualify for citizenship.
<UmbralRaptor>
egg|z|egg: well, it's a lot easier to travel there than to anywhere else...
<TheKosmonaut>
Oh.
<TheKosmonaut>
Not sure what the English qualifier is but I’ll assume I’m getting a few points from that. I guess that put me over 30
<TheKosmonaut>
Me fail English? That’s unpossible!

Shades of the British citizenship test containing questions which by and large we don't know the answers to

recalls basically aceing the constitution related questions for US citizenship questions at least.

Also, there's that embarassing thing where a nobel prize isn't an auto-accept. (Though in practice that person should have at least a Bachelor's of some sort, so it's a defacto accept)
