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.

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).

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).

Yes, particularly people with chronic physical health issues are significantly overrepresented in both depression and suicide.

Yeah, I will admit that there is a strange satisfaction to brushing off snow.

Thick frost however? That’s just torture.
