  • Let's take windmill like in the example, it has 3 blades, each maybe at most 5 degrees wide (out of the 360 for a circle). So that covers 15 total degrees or 1/24th the wind area, so at absolute best, it's about 4% of the wind power in that area being stopped. But the blades don't actually capture 100% of the wind power, a good amount will deflect off, those blades are not 5 degrees wide, they're less and they aren't straight blades, so again they capture less. Further the blade only captures a small vertical section of its own footprint, so it captures dramatically less wind power. Lastly blades are spaced with a good amount of clearance from each other leading to even less wind power captured. In aggregate, even by entirely layman measure, these likely have an immeasurable impact on another wind farm.

    I'd bet if you built a mile high, mile wide wind capture device that captured 100% of wind power going to it, and then put a 2nd one 1 mile directly behind that, you could just maybe get a few % measurable impact.

  • It matters if you are concerned with things related to the honey other than taste and texture of the raw product.

    But it is also a good point that quality imitations of foods are pretty rare, so it could be useful as an independent class of goods.

  • This assignment is literally a fill in the blanks to complete a set of code to make it produce values expected by the assignment.

  • I'm currently doing an online Master's with Northeastern. Honestly not surprised this happened, the quality of classes is WILD.

    Taking 2 classes per term, and each term so far 1 class has been very well designed but also insanely easy, while the other has been so poorly implemented that the course learning materials don't actually help you do the coursework.

    Probably most astonishing so far though is a course I'm taking now just served me with the literally exact same assignment that I did for a course I just finished. Now, granted that both classes are from the elective course choices, so not everyone will take both, but come on... and they grill me about plagiarism with every submission I make...

  • Did a quick check, didn't see any news about a stroke, so we don't have to worry about that at least.

  • Wish my tap was as good as Finnish water ...

  • Per my quick research, 1 Dum Dum is about 25 calories, if we assume he eats 1500 calories per day, he'd die of malnutrition before he finished eating them over 3 years.

  • It's an evolution of their 4 for $4 deal they started about 10 years ago, pretty sure it's national. It's just not well advertised compared to the more premium stuff.

  • With Wendy's, if you're looking for cheap, gotta skip their premium meals and go to their Meal Deals, Sandwich, nuggets, fries, drink for $5, more if you want extra meat/bacon.

  • Also, that he ran for 2024, which is at least part of what allowed the current situation...

  • See, people say that ad companies can use all this information they gather to better serve targeted advertising, but that's just not my anecdotal experience.

    I get served ads all the time in languages I don't speak, for VERY specific job related audiences that I'm not even close to related to, state politics that I've never lived in, services that I'm already actively subscribed to, just the worst targeting ever.

    If I have to get advertised to, I'd so much rather get an ad that could actually be at all relevant to my life, or even some generic ad over the total misses.

    Like, if you're going through the trouble to do all this shady shit to get my data at least be good at it using it...

  • Yes and no, it is a thing, but it's more prevalent when discussing wild game, especially in later winter months, and it isn't just rabbits either, it can also apply to deer and caribou. It is much less an issue with domesticated rabbits, as they will be fattier when butchered.

  • If your adversary says you better not do something, you should probably heavily consider doing it.

  • They probably asked him something like "Did you use an official checkpoint to get into the US from Mexico?" And he said "No" because he didn't enter at all, but they interpreted it as he crossed illegally.

  • That the system sucks doesn't absolve people from the choices they make when they have the opportunity. People who chose to not vote passively supported whomever won, thus Trump. Everyone who chose not to vote is culpable for the suffering the administration causes, aids or allows.

    It was a trolley problem, anyone claiming that washing their hands of the decision means they bear no responsibility for the results is deluding themselves.

    It even doesn't makes sense if you're a single issue voter on genocide. There are only 3 possibilities:

    1. Thryet Believe Trump would support it less, they should vote for Trump, as that would reduce it.
    2. They Believe both support it about the same, they should vote based the 2nd/3rd/etc issue, because you can't impact you first, so you should impact something else you care about.
    3. They Believe Harris would support it less, they should vote for Harris, as that would reduce it.
  • There wasn't anyone most people were ok with, but that doesn't mean one of them wasn't significantly more horrifying.

  • Yeah, I was quite literally shouting in the car by myself listening to that one. Felt like he was saying the quiet part out loud, they just want people to feel like they're doing something good, and whatever they actually accomplish doesn't matter.

  • Also, lighting up a cybertruck is probably making them money on an insurance claim, because they're so overvalued by the corpos.

  • You're already jumping to conclusions, specifically that he was definitely in the cell with his wife when she died and that she was killed.

    There's still some doubts that can be cast, especially given the few details we have.

    He didn't have control over who could enter or leave the cell, it's possible someone else did the murdering.

    Heck with the evidence we have access to, it's possible she never entered the cell alive.

    It could have been accidental as the result of something consensual.

    It could be coincidental that something consensual happened and after which see died of an unrelated cause.

    It could have been suicide, where she wanted to be with him at the time.
