A fertilized egg is not a baby.
And I have no idea what that has to do with left and right.

Just to nitpick: the biblical needle ear is a very narrow and low gate/passage in Jerusalem's old town.
To pass a full packed camel, you have to unload most of its cargo, let it pass and reload it on the other side.
Stupid Christians ...

I'm uncertain what is more creepy, the police remotely accessing your computer to check your screen saver, or people having child porn pictures as screen saver.

On: China Is Building a Solar Power Highway (electrek.co)

You are now the tenth or twentieth saying this.
Why do you think a solar power road is more oil, slough, rubber dust or other dirt covered than an ordinary road?
If there is oil on the road it gets blocked and cleaned ... the guy responible fined, if found.

Re:Seriously?

How many highways have roofs nearby?

Re:Translucent concrete

It is not really relevant how long it takes to charge an EV.
Relevant is: how much energy does an EV comsume while traceling that distance, and how many EVs are going over this particular part of the road in a day.

The first transistors were in the size of milli meters.
Quite unlikely they came from outer space.
Current chips use quatum effects in their transistors.
50 years ago under the best microscopes no one would have figured what it is or how to make one.

Interesting.
Looks like a kind of function call, is that 'standard SQL' (standard as in 'common')?.

Anyway, if the nuclear plant had shut down, it would have been offline for days if not weeks, just like a coal plant.

If you are interested you could read up about the so called boron or neutron poisoning ... but I guess you are not.

Thank you for your concerns.

Because it is inconvenient for the people living in the eastern and western zone.

Removing DST will not change a jota on shopping or restaurant habbits.

Re:And most unreliable

On: Wind Power Is Now The Cheapest Energy In India (bloombergquint.com)

But the plant was disconnected while running at 60% ...
coal and NG plants were as long as 12hrs and many auto-shutdown requiring a full restart.
And that is exactly why the nuclear plant was kept at 60% but disconnected ...

So: what exactly is your point?
