I think the hazard they’re afraid of is that the employees will unionize.
Yup, typically I just mentally multiply by 1000 (nice round numbers). But obviously a 100MW farm in the Sahara is going to produce more in a year than the same 100MW farm in Germany. It’d be cool to see a list on a global scale that showed a table and maybe generation vs demand curves for the area they serve. Maybe I’ll put it on my “projects I’ll never get to” list.
Like capacity x capacity factor, e.g. if your 100MW site produces power 50% of the time (because of nighttime, clouds, etc) then it would produce, over the course of a year 100,000,000 x 24 x 365 x 0.5 = 438 GWh annually (very simplified).
Does anyone know of a site that tracks the typical GWh of these big installations?
When did we get away from saying “X - formerly known as Twitter” ? I liked seeing that gentle nudge in every headline.
It’s not like they swapped titanium for balsa wood. The origin docs were falsified or missing, which could mean anything from they weren’t the right purity but were shipped anyway to they were imported from Russia and illegally bypassing sanctions.
This is a kind of bromeliad right? I’ve had some outside for several years in south Florida that are still “flowering” like that. at least one of them has stalked off a new plant
Had they been real at the time they would have shipped with a 30-lb NiCad battery that provided 10 minutes of power and set your pants on fire.
I’d let all of these statues and monuments stand, but require the descriptions to all be preceded with “defeated traitor”. So instead of the Robert E Lee Memorial Park or whatever it would now be the Defeated Traitor Robert E Lee Memorial Park. Require it to be referred to that way on Google Maps, local newscasts, etc and see how quickly people suddenly want to rename them.
What do you hate specifically – e.g. exercising in general, getting hot and sweaty, foot/leg/joint pain, your location or route, having to be alone with your thoughts for a while, etc? I’ve been running for nearly 3 decades now (yikes), and even as a kid I remember the thing that made it “click” with me is the realization that I literally could not be doing anything else at the same time (aside from listening to music, I guess).
I think that unless you are having physical pain (in which case the usual applies - check your shoes, modify your gait, reduce or restructure your runs to be more comfortable), you have to get into the headspace of just mentally doing nothing, which can be hard for some people.
FWIW I don’t know anyone who, in the middle of a 10k run in 90 degree heat with a side stitch says “I feel awesome right now!”, but I do know many, many people who will finish out that run, stop for a moment and then go “ahhhhhhh.”
New drug: 60% survival rate with no disease progression.

While technically it’s not “off the charts”, this is pretty damn impressive. I’ll allow the hyperbole.
This is actually pretty clever. If he’s found guilty then it’s rigged since even Mother Teresa would have been found guilty. If he’s found not guilty though, then he’s even better than Mother Teresa, since he beat a rap that would have taken her down or whatever.

It was. It’s meme rotation.
I heard someone won an award for the fjords…
I’d say that this is the kind of thing we elect leaders to decide and implement for us, but my leaders are a bunch of fucking morons.
We’ve got to go dig them holes. 🎶
