If I were a 4d being for a day, I would rotate my enemies in 3d space until they’re exactly where they started but a mirrored version of themselves, so it appears to them as if I’ve mirrored their entire existence.
They would slowly die of malnutrition as the chiral molecules in their diet (such as glucose) would no longer meet the requirements of their body
Yes but the grid doesn’t carry power efficiently over extremely long distances. You’re putting undue load on the grid if you expect wind blowing 500 miles away to cover all the power needs of the area it’s supposed to supply as well as every neighboring area where there’s not enough power.
This isn’t just an efficiency issue you can solve by throwing more windmills at the issue. If there’s too much power flowing through the lines we have currently, things break. Usually with fires and exploding transformers. Our power grid is designed for distributed production, but with on-demand generation as a backup for when intermittent generation is underperforming. Batteries are one option to achieve this, but they’re expensive to build in the scale we need them. Hydrogen fuel production is an interesting candidate to fill this niche and for all-renewable power, but the efficiency is quite low so you’re basically tripling the cost per unit energy produced.
But one way or another, you need additional infrastructure to power the grid with zero fossil fuels. Nuclear, batteries, hydrogen fuel, or a total revamp of transmission infrastructure all require expensive construction projects. Nuclear is the only one that’s been done at scale, that’s why I want to see it given a fair chance again. But I also think plenty of other options are promising BECAUSE they are novel, and I’d love to see a future where a combination is used to make a carbon-free, brownout-free power grid
She hasn’t done anything to lose her job as VP so probably, yeah
A man 14 months older but mentally 10 times more mentally sound
You have made infinite people unhappy by forcing them to change rooms. But Sisyphus is happy so who cares about the rest of them
They can’t deny that he’s older than dirt, might as well lean into the cuter parts about that fact
Overproduction doesn’t cover when large swaths of land have low wind speeds at night
They solve different problems. Nuclear is cheaper than the batteries needed to make solar/wind reliable.
Littering, unlike most petty crimes, is almost never acceptable.
There are 1000 korok seeds, 146 Bubbul gems, 120 shrines, 34 Yiga schematics, 32 sky shrines, and 20 sage’s wills in Tears of the Kingdom.
I think that might top 300 trophies.
Mayo??? Potato salad is made with mustard not mayo what the fuck
Apple ruins everything it touches and sells the solution as a product or service
As always, I have not visited the community, since it appeared in my home feed.
Eventually the proper name for the operating system will just be the full configuration.nix file, and we’ll all rename our backups to "FullLegalName"OS
In this future, NixOS replaces all other distros as the defacto standard way to manage packages
Agreed. Free licenses should NEVER be applied to Apple-specific tools. They don’t want to help the FOSS community, so we shouldn’t help them back. Make them pay for it, or make them make their own version.
Inflation has affected our country very differently in different locales. Change in cost of living is the real metric for what inflation is trying to quantify
Texas is more purple than you think. PLEASE vote and PLEASE spread the word that every vote matters, because Trump supporters are far less defeatist than Biden supporters. Don’t give them the illusion that your state is any more Republican than it already is by not voting.
