From post 3,
Earlier, we showed that #Circadian genes + #SunPowered proteins are all that a cell needs to tune the balance of its proteins to suit the seasons.

We called the process #TranslationalCoincidence.

🌞✨ Daytime is playtime... for proteins! Most #protein levels peak during the day, thanks to light-stimulated protein synthesis. Imagine light supersizing protein production, while the clock ensures each one is made when needed; more in post 7.

Problem Fox Apr 29, 2024

When multiple garages were not able to solve the "finishing HVB charging via 110v kills the 12v battery" issue in our #Ford Cmax Energi #PHEV my wife and I considered trading it in. That didn't appeal because we don't need extra debt, why junk a 2016 car with no major damage, and we love the car except for this charging reliability issue.

So the #PracticalSolarPunk solution If the garage can't fix it is to just charge both batteries at once. Cheaper and less wasteful than a new car, and gets us back using our #residentialSolar to charge the car and enjoying #sunPowered #electricVehicles again!

A $30 12v battery charger is much cheaper than a new car, or to pay yet another garage hundreds of dollars to tell me PHEVs are not meant to drive in EV mode and I'm "driving it wrong"!
