There was a plan to add one, just really late in the future.

At least, before it was cancelled.

1 MWh/mo is not out of the ordinary for an American home. The average is 0.87 MWh/mo. Inefficient appliances, bigger houses, and poor insulation are big factors. Of course, that’s America, not China.

Am I weird for drinking neither? If you’re not used to drinking them, you have to add so much to them to make them taste good, and I just never got into it.

Very occasionally I drink pop, so that and chocolate (a lot of chocolate) are where my caffeine consumption comes from, but the caffeine isn’t the point.

Of course, that would never change in the face of changing financial incentives. The world as it is is the world as it ought to be.

It is the quadratic formula. It already is the solution. The problem is any quadratic of the form ax²+bx+c=0

Have people never heard of the quiet game outside of an Australian cartoon?

I’m not clear on the details but I think some servers just hook up open loop to mains water for cooling.

Seems like that should actually be quite a useful task in the Netherlands considering all the polders!

13 months plus one day. 13×28+1=365

Plus an additional day on leap years.

Somebody please explain

You went “i need an example for something that is cheaper to buy than to cook” and you picked fucking hot dogs??

“Massive contamination”, “horrific”, and yet the article points out most of the seepage is radiologically harmless. It is important to clear out the mine and it will be really expensive, I won’t deny that, but let’s not scaremonger and act like it’s Chernobyl 2. As well, let’s not pretend that new nuclear projects would suffer the same problems. A functioning country would see this mistake, regulate how waste can be stored, and that would be the end of it. As many other countries have done.

Let’s be clear: nuclear waste is a solved issue. We know how to store it safely, we know how to reprocess fuel to make it safe within hundreds instead of thousands of years. Whether or not we do that is an entirely political question.

And what then is the alternative? Wind doesn’t always blow, the sun doesn’t always shine. Battery storage would be prohibitively expensive and the amount of lithium required to be mined to supply an entire country’s electricity storage needs would be horrendous for the environment. Hydroelectric storage is ecologically devastating to a scale the public is largely unaware of and geography-dependent.

I am very skeptical about green hydrogen because it is far too politically easy to sweep the source of your hydrogen under the rug under bureaucratic obfuscation and the most economically viable method to produce hydrogen is to use fossil fuels and emit CO2 in the process, making it not really green.

The data include accidents. You might feel differently about wind if a loved one died doing a wind turbine installation. The logic goes both ways. I will reiterate: it’s literally safer than wind. Look at the fucking numbers and not your feelings.

The above data include accidents. You are literally killing people by not going nuclear. Nuclear accidents are highly publicized but if (hypothetically) one person dies for every wind installation but they never make the news, it’s a death by a thousand cuts, and nuclear comes out ahead. That is hyperbolic but it’s emblematic of the situation, look at the fucking numbers. Nuclear is safer.

If you’ve ever actually used any of these algorithms it becomes painfully obvious they do not “think”. Give it a task slightly more complex/nuanced than what it has been trained on and you will see it draws obviously false conclusions that would be obviously wrong had any thought actual taken place. Generalization is not something they do, which is a fundamental part of human problem solving.

Make no mistake: they are text predictors.

Honestly if she went 30 years without looking at a map that’s on her.

A quick Google shows this to be false. Evidence is “inconclusive”

The Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland should pull an epic gamer move and simplify this chart.

Or as somebody pointed out you can invest in an index fund and get higher returns
