i think that when locals call a place "the land that god made in anger", it might be wise to not settle there

turns out you can just do things, and consequences depend on who you are

The one we can mine is drawn off together with natural gas, and was produced over geological timescales as product of alpha decay of uranium

New ones, and not all if them, work this way, as in there's tiny helium condensing unit. Older ones just let it go and require topping up every couple months (guessing by how often helium in NMR is topped up). Also every emergency shutdown invariably blows off all of helium inside

that's way more power than needed to feed 800W out 24/7, what happens with the rest?

[–] fullsquare@awful.systems 1 points 7 months ago

good, dare i say, based even. you better start figuring out where to put these panels, because roofs and parking lots won't be enough (maybe taking into account soil type and how it is already used)

some people think that solar panels suck out solar energy from around like some kind of evil wizard depleting lifeforce and never heard about shadows

Remind these racist idiots that Chinese went all on solar and aren't affected as much by oil supply problems, and you wouldn't like to be worse than them, right,

800W is just 3.5A so probably can be managed
