1W of installed capacity would yield 24Wh of energy at 100% in 1 day at capacity. (1W * 24h = 24h)

Hence, you are getting an average of 6Wh / 24Wh * 100% = 25% capacity. Your winter numbers end up being 4-12% and summer 25-50% of capacity.

Wh/Wi/h is your capacity factor.

The days the steam engine are numbered.

Not really. Unless there are some breakthroughs in technology that significantly lower capex & opex for grid scale energy storage, they’ll be sticking around for a long time.

There is an asterisk on the 1TW number, and that asterisk is capacity factor. In practice it means that depending on the time of year and location, the effective output of your solar panel will be between 0-40% of label capacity .

In my country for instance, you can expect 0-2% output from a panel in the winter time, which also happens to coincide with the peak demands (heating). Luckily, our politicians had some foresight in the 70s & 80s and built lots of hydro and nuclear power, which has been the backbone of our grid ever since (despite attempts to dismantle it).

How do you mean?

Chiming in from Sweden, the situation here was getting very bad (relatively to how it used to be here, and how it is in the rest of the Nordics). When my dad was a kid, shootings would be national news, when I was a kid, bombings would be national news. Nowadays they are both so frequent that it barely makes the dailies.

Things have slowly started getting better again however, even if it’s slow going.

Here’s a link to a visualization tool from our national broadcaster. Keep in mind, all of Sweden is just some 10 million people.

I like the idea but alas a lot of the products produced & sold back then would be illegal to have as commercial products today.

Yup, still rocking my oneplus 5t from 2018 and will keep using that bad boy until it literally breaks.

Are you seriously suggesting that bombs, missiles and tank shells are Israel’s way of “avoiding civilian casualties”?

That strawman right there is a product of your own imagination. Try again and maybe add a dash of critical thinking this time around if you actually are interested in having a conversation.

They are claiming that the Iranian government has killed over 30,000 people over the last few weeks, using nothing more than bullets and knives? You know that it took Israel over 5 months to kill that many people in Gaza…

Israel is trying to (or at least trying to give the appearance of) avoiding civilian casualties. The Islamic regime in Iran has no qualms against mass murdering civilians, nor anyone but their own populace to keep them accountable (and they absolutely do not want to be held accountable, they would probably be executed like the tyrants they are).

These are two entirely different situations.

TL:DR - because they perform more transactions that seem like they might down the line cause the banks to be liable for allowing financing of terrorism, and the risk isn’t worth it (for the banks).

It is very normal to use anonymous sources in journalism in these kinds of situations. Even for reports from inside western governments where the potential worst co sequence might “just” be the source losing their job.

Meanwhile, what’s going on in Iran is a full scale democide where every single person speaking to foreign media is risking not just their own lives, but those of their families and friends.

Ahmadi [who remains anonymous due to fear of reprisals, but whose identity, credentials and presence within Iran during the unrest have been verified by the Guardian]

…

Ahmadi assembled a network of more than 80 medical professionals across 12 of Iran’s 31 provinces to share observations and data, and to build a clearer picture of the violence.

…

HRANA (Human Rights Activists News Agency), whose figures have been reliable during previous crackdowns, says it has verified more than 6,000 dead and has more than 17,000 more recorded deaths under investigation, giving a possible total of about 22,000. Other estimates from doctors based outside Iran range up to 33,000 or more.

…

The Guardian also spoke to three witnesses who independently described a push for mass burials and piles of hundreds of bodies at a large graveyard (Behesht-e Sakineh) in the city of Karaj, 30 miles (50km) west of Tehran.

…

Those accounts correspond to photographs verified by the Iranian factchecking organisation Factnameh, which show dead patients in body bags wearing hospital gowns, with catheters still attached, and what appear to be gunshot wounds to the forehead. The Guardian has not independently verified the photographs. A UK-based Iranian doctor who analysed the photographs said: “From a medical point of view, it appears the bodies seen with catheters and medical devices attached were shot directly in the head while under treatment.”

Li-Ion is a huge achilles heel for EVs. Moving past them could be what’s needed to actually get competitive.

just put it under natural selection

It literally is though. People have been doingstupid shit for recognition for ages and getting killed.

Call it what you will. Darwin award or whatever, but as long as people pay attention, they will find a way to do stupid risky shit for clout, regardless of how idiot-proof we attempt to make society.

Yes, although very slowly.

A mere 15% of new EU sold cars are BEVs, the average age of the fleet is 12 years, and electric heavy vehicles are still almost non-existent.

Meanwhile, central & southern Europe are still running on Fossil Gas despite heatpumps being around for ~50 years by now. The key issue is that the price of electricity has been far too high, and getting even higher in recent years.

…in generation of electricity. Most energy usage in the EU isn’t electric and non-electric energy usage is almost exclusively fossil fuels.

Best of luck in getting healthier!

共 - here meaning “together”, “joint” or “common”

和 - here meaning peace or harmony.

The connection here is a peace/harmony/order (because peace/harmony stems from order) that comes from “together” or “joint” (rule). Hence, republicanism (as in the ruling system).

It is the literal translation of the names of the parties.

Democracy party

Republicanism party

Most collecting achievements are just game filler really. The ones I find interesting are ones that, in a more free-form game, create an interesting goal to work towards.

For some of my favourites I’ve on occasion gone through the list and been like ‘Yeah that sounds like an interesting objective.’

The key for decent ones is usually that they are an achievable goal for one playthrough that act as a ‘guiding star’.

My first full Factorio playthrough was a Lazy Bastard run. The game is a lot more chill when turning off biter expansions & turning up trees slightly in the map gen.

Granted I think I racked up like 200hrs in that run, largely because I could leave the game running in the background whilst going off to study or do other stuff. Once you’re past the intial stage & have a mall set up, hand-crafting really doesn’t matter much.

There is no spoon was alright as a goal, but it also ends up being a definitive end to that playthrough (which, arguably, can be both good and bad).
