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 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 Americas.

But the news is that Disney wanted more from Marvel but now wants less. I guess 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. 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. 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 could charge up your own home battery so you've got some backup power. But another company that does that is Sunrun and their Ready system. And apparently what they've done is they've networked together 56,000 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 power system. So even though that's 56,000 homes that are connected, it would power 280,000 homes, 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 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.
