Given our level of tech, an extinction event isn't. The meteor that took out the dinosaurs wouldn't kill us. It would make life hard for a while, but we'd live. It'd take something like an asteroid the size of Mars hitting the moon to cause an event that could lead to the extinction of man, and even then, a few weeks warning is all it'd take for millions to survive.
Someone else in a different thread mentioned extinction, and my question back was simple. In what manner would a *insert catastrophe here* kill the people at McMurdo? If you don't kill them, you'll likely have millions of humans left alive on islands in the Pacific, remote towns in the mountains, or otherwise shielded from the event. So what is it that wipes out McMurdo, Barrow, and all of Indonesia (18,000 islands)?
Nope. If I can prove you shredded something (that I think is relevant), that is the crime. Nobody is assuming anything. Proving they shredded something after being subpoenaed *is* the crime. You can't prove it's related to the crime because it's shredded. So in most cases, you don't have to prove that part, just that they did it.
You wouldn't own or manage the plants. They are raw suppliers, not plants you run. Solar works where you need it most. Most places have the peak around 12-2, though some areas have the peak in early evening.
This is standard practice, and when more people put solar on their roof, the electricity company makes less money, so drive up the service component to cover the loss. The end result is you pay anyway
There are no easy solutions here.
And as the line charge increases, your usage drops even faster. Eventually everyone ends up with "free" electricity, with a line charge to fill in any personal generation gaps.
Not "up and running" but "customized". I hear people talk here all the time about the work they put in getting things done their way (usually bragging about how they are doing things you can't do in Windows). Yet a minor tweak to Windows to get rid of the number one complaint people have on here about it (Metro) is met with resistance.
People don't use phones for orienteering. It's not the right tool. The complaint "phones are bad for orienteering" is silly. The complaint that spoken directions are a bad replacement for maps is similarly silly. A phone with an Internet connection is superior to a map for all road-based car directions. You shouldn't be reading a map while driving, and the phone maps will be stripped of almost all useful information to show you your route at a glance, it assumes you are driving. You can't use a paper map while driving, at least not safely. A phone may not be "safe" but it is "safer".
I never said renewable were bad. You fabricated that.
You used the example of renewals as why to not use kW/MW for comparing power plants (the standard prior to renewable), as I predicted, and used it to highlight that solar is inferior, as I had predicted. TWh/y would be a much better measure for that, but the renewable haters have determined that (as it simplified to kW like comparisons) is not nearly biased enough against renewables, so they stick with kWh per day at worst case, as you have done. TWh/y would be a much better measure, but the renewable haters don't like something that's almost fair, and you have stuck with that party lines and used renewables as an example of why we need to not measure power plants as they have been measured from creation until the '90s or so.
The cost of energy is expressed in $/MWh, because a MWh defines a specific amount of energy. kW is capacity, not energy.
And plants are rated on capacity, or at least were, exclusively, until renewables were introduced, and the renewable haters changed the measures. And apparently, you are re-writing history as well to make it sound like MWh is the standard measure of a power plant, not a new creation by the renewable haters.
I said it before, the cost is listed as $ per MWh, as the cost pre-renewable was dependent on power generated, but plants are listed at 100% capacity ratings. Even the nuclear ones were rated sillily. A 4-reactor plant would be listed as a "new 100 MW" plant when one of the 4 reactors came on line at 50% capacity, putting out 12.5 MW.
Then don't run a plant. Statistical averaging and some backup generation takes care of the problem. If the distributed generation is in the right ballpark. You then charge for the lines, not the generation, and generation is metered and co-oped So if you generate a net export at demand times, you'll get a "refund" from those that were net users at that time. And everyone will pay the grid management. Some of the systems I've seen mimic this. You pay for the line, then a separate charge for the power you use.
There isn't really a migration path between these. The vast majority of people who are appointed to a judgeship have it for life and never advance up a tier.
Go look up the career paths of the sitting Supreme Court Justices. The ones I recall from confirmation hearings, and my memory may be faulty, did move in the tiers. Most privates don't make first sergeant, but all first sergeants were privates, so arguing that there's no mobility in rank because most privates don't make first sergeant isn't true, at all.
Just because you are too stupid to understand doesn't mean I am. I know how kW and kWh works. I can even spell it correctly. That you can't indicates you can't be an engineer. A real engineer would use the units enough to know the capitalization, and that it's important. Units kill. It's a class in engineering school, which, if you were a real engineer, should have taken (at least my Engineering Ethics covered risk and units was a large portion of that, especially in the US, where units used are relatively random). hours only matters for variable production sources.
When discussing baseline generation, like hydro and coal, hours aren't used, unless the hydro is not a set generation (some of the newer hydro is over-provisioned for generation, so they have water for 10 MW at regular run rates, but capacity of 100 MW so that they can pull 100 MW at a peak, for short periods, and 1 MW in low usage times, building up a reserve). Before the anti-renewable movement, which you are obviously a part of, "hours" was never used. Variable generation plants, like natural gas plants, were given as peak sustainable power, not an expected use, or "hours".
Costs were given as hours, because unlike renewable sources, the amount of power generated required a fuel cost, so the billing of the customers in kWh was linked to the costs of generation. costs are Wh, but capacity is W. Except for renewable haters, who want to bring up hours to make renewable always seem worse than it is. If renewable is so bad, why do you have to lie to make it look worse?
Chernobyl was about as bad as it's possible to get. If it had been actual worst-case, what would that case have looked like?
When people make them sound worse than they were, with vague wording, it sounds like voodoo, not science. What's the mechanism by which a reactor meltdown causes extinction? If you can't describe it, it must be FUD.
So if your notes were written in code, shredding them would be legal? There's no legal argument for that. Destroying things related to an investigation is illegal, regardless of what form they were in before.
So they can just seize it under the liberal seizure laws and keep it forever. If you want it back, you do what they say. Otherwise, they can hold it forever.
Converting the data to an unusable form would be treated like shredding, which is illegal, and well tested to be illegal, if you do so after you know the material shredded was needed for an investigation or lawsuit.
There was a start menu, it was just called "metro". If you don't like it, don't use it. The "start" menu in Windows was nothing other than a collection of shortcuts. If you didn't like it, you could create a start folder with the same functionality. Again, this is coming down to Wingows hater hating Windows for the customization required to get the UI you want. Isn't that the standard complaint against Linux? So if you don't want to do the work to make Windows work the way you want, but you are willing to do that for Linux, it's not the OS that's the issue. It's the user.
The only thing you couldn't get in shortcuts is the "run" box, and that requires keystrokes anyway, so just close your eyes, hit the windows key, and type what you want. You don't have to "see" metro, even if you have to use it to run a command. With "pin to taskbar" in Win10, you put your start menu on the taskbar. It's impossible to avoid Metro in 10, but you don't have to spend more than 2-10 seconds there to get anything done. type it out, and it's faster than finding it in a list. The only time it's "intrusive" is when you are on a tablet with touch, but no keyboard, in which case, it's easier to use than the start menu.
"I don't like it" isn't a "real" problem in Linux. A list of the standard complaints, that have been answered thousands of times, isn't a valid complaint either.
So you aren't comparing printed maps to Google Maps, but printed maps to Google Navigation. Now that I understand your complaint, I can ignore it as irrelevant to the discussion.
I got online easier with DOS than Windows 3.x. Windows got in the way. Win95+ got it working, but networking under DOS was no harder than networking under Linux, and the WFW was just there to talk to NT servers, and didn't really get the networking right. Win3.0 worked better for networking, because it was a filemanager, and not an OS. Win3.1 was an OS (grabbing direct hardware control for real mode and such), and as such, broke some of the DOS drivers one could use for networking.
For whatever reason, MS focused on DUN - dialing into a modem bank on an NT server, rather than an IP stack on network cards. So dial-up ISP wasn't really practical until Win95, and 3.1 mostly was never used by those running NICs. 3.0 to 3.11 was the jump, where 3.11 fixed most of the broken networking introduced in 3.1. But DOS 6.22 was king. 3.3 to 6.22 were the better versions (so long as you weren't trying to run something that needed more RAM before 6.22 came out, which is the only reason to run anything between).
I booted to the desktop in Win8, so I didn't see any difference between Win7 and Win8. Those complaining about having to spend a few seconds setting up UI to their preferences would have a much much worse time in Linux. And Win10 isn't bad, so long as you have a touchscreen. It's harder to get to the new features without one.
cartoons don't have anything to do with child porn. Stop bullshitting.
There was someone convicted of possession of child porn for his cartoons from Japan. That you don't like reality doesn't change it.
So you want all pictures of crimes to be illegal?
Not that you care about any of that since you're a fucking psychopath.
Yes, anyone who doesn't agree with you about everything must be a fucking psychopath. Someone who notes that drawings of children is illegal Child Porn is a fucking psychopath.

Donald will sell you the 3rd digit of the launch codes for $1B. But he built a wall around the 4th digit, so you can't get it.

So that's what, about 1% failure rate?

So spending 1000 hours to customize Linux is fine, because it was free, but 1 hour to customize Windows is a waste of time.
There isn't really a migration path between these. The vast majority of people who are appointed to a judgeship have it for life and never advance up a tier.

And it still isn't child porn.
He was convicted for it. That you find reality inconvenient doesn't change reality.
You are arguing in favor of raping children because of your supposed "rights."
Nope, I'm arguing against child rape. You are arguing that I'm not. Not sure how you know what I mean better than I do, but you assert it.
I said the exact opposite you dumbfuck. You're the one who keeps producing them as examples of "child porn."
They are defined as child porn by governments. You know, organizations with more respectability than you.
Since I can prove you shredded something, and can't prove what it was, that's obstruction.
I am not sure if you can comprehend this,
Just because you are too stupid to understand doesn't mean I am. I know how kW and kWh works. I can even spell it correctly. That you can't indicates you can't be an engineer.
