There was no "lack of hurricanes" in the last decade. It was more or less like always, except for the 5 hard hits the US got. Andrew, Katrina, Sandy etc. Now they get hit 2 times in a row... and btw: Irma is 4 times a big as Andrew was.
However the most astonishing thin in international news is, no one is talking about stuff like this: https://www.theguardian.com/wo...
"(usually downvoted by people on the left,) You don't know who down voted what... and you most certainly don't know if the down voter is left, right or what ever...
Honestly, is there a difference? Watch some scientists talking in a pub about anything which is not their main topic... they are just as retarded as anyone else.
You can have two or more El Ninos in a row, same for La Ninas.
There is no real "cycle", it is more like a see saw. It can hang at the balancing point for quite a while and then go back to the point it came from.
So: there is no "due date" either. Both phenomena start from the "neutral" phase. And can establish themselves into a strong position over a month or so.
Yeah, I should have written Typhoon. However in german we usually use the original way of writing/pronunciation. That means most languages have the same vowels as we in german/finish/italian etc. have. So it is easy to simply rewrite Chinese or Japanese Kanji etc. in our way of reading/pronouncing vowels. The drawback is that most asian languages have either an "english way" of rewriting their characters with the latin alphabet or a "german way". Thai e.g. uses the english variant, wich makes it super difficult to learn, as very often as a german you can not judge how that "english written" Thai word is pronounced. Japanese uses luckily the German/Italian way of rewriting their language in latin letters. Chinese is unfortunately complicated with all those Q/Z/Ch/Ts sounds that sound so similar... hence the "official" western writing changes every few years:D I guess I have seen dozens of variations how to write Mao Zedong...
Yes, people who are to dumb to read about the stuff they love to talk about, and get everything wrong are: morons.
No idea how that is handled in school in our days.
If you want to talk about nuclear power, or solar power, then read something about it. And no: we still don't use rare earth metals in silicon based solar panels... And no: we don't release any poisoning materials into the environment while producing silicon based solar panels... and now, we don't put them on concrete constructions that produce more CO2 in producing the concrete than the panels ever will safe in producing electricity...
Should I continue with your idiotic misconceptions?
I doubt there are sources for no brainers. E.g. if a CANDU reactor is running on natural uranium (for that you find sources) it obviously can run on soent fuel of a reactor that used _enriched_ uranium. (After all the spent fuel is still _enriched_ just not enough for that reactor type)
Hence as you have no clue about actual physics, you don't believe that. Hence you are a moron, plain and simple.
The fact that solar and Wind are cheaper than nuclear power is reported on/. nearly once a month.
Actually they do. There are not only Hurricanes that make landfall. There are Hurricanes in the atlantic you never hear about. And there are Cyclones, Taifuns etc. too. Get rid of the stupid idea that continental USA are the center of the world.
Because for many people it is just an 'sharing' product. Everything that is there is on the computer, too! And: for many people there are no alternatives anyway, hont: Chrome Book.
I don't really understand the difference between operational and control, they both translate to the same german word.
I assume with 'operational' you mean the buisiness part? Well, it is easy to hack the 'control' part by feeding wrong information into the business part.
E.g. that your company just made a successful deal at the spot market and is supposed to feed in 1GW extra into the grid from next hour on... your 'operational' grid will react to that and power up the plants close to the feed in point and might cause an 'overload' and black out. (extremely unlikely, as there are enough safe guards to prevent that, just speaking in laymen terms;) )
USB ports are usually disabled. You are not allowed to bring laptops into the facility. Your laptop would not get any access to the network, as it has an unknown MAC.
Depends if they are national or trans national. They have a long distance schedule, e.g. Stuttgart to Hamburg. Stuttgart to Berlin. Munich to Berlin. On the overlapping parts the trains have something like an ever 20mins schedule. To concrete destinations, e.g. Hamburg it is every two hours, and alternating the other hours to Berlin. That means from Stuttgart till Mannheim those trains go hourly. Plus all the trains that come from Stuttgart via Mannheim but go elsewhere.
A hyperloop would work different. Not sure if they imagine switch points in a tunnel. But I simply would have a main transport tunnel and at destinations dozens of access points that connect to the main transport tunnel. Instead of a huge central station, I mean.
I did not do any ad hominem attacks Mr. blindseer.
Your education is your responsibility, not mine. So find your citations yourself.
Apparently you didn't know that CANDU reactors can be fueled with reprocessed fuel Apparently I did know that. Hence I informed you: that makes no sense. You simply can put the "spent fuel" into them. No reprocessing needed. But it seems you are to dumb to grasp that. (Is that an ad hominem? Sorry;D )
Your whole threats about nuclear make no sense anyway.
a) Neither do the USA have CANDU reactors, nor do they have civilian nuclear fuel reprocessing (which makes no sense in relation with CANDU reactors, which I pointed out but you failed to google so far) b) nor will the USA in any time soon build new reactors or reprocessing plants (it is simply cheaper to deposit the spent fuel and refuel a reactor with fresh fuel and it is 1000 times safer) c) most 1st world countries are phasing out nuclear (because of b)... they are running out of space to deposit spent fuel, or the waste after reprocessing - yes, that includes most notable France) d) onyl a few emerging countries like India and China are still building nuclear plants e) renewables, notable wind and solar, are cheaper than nuclear plants and have no "waste problem" (regardless if before or after reprocessing)
Most of this I already told you dozens of times.
Why are you so lazy to read about the topics but so eager to post nonsense about them on/. ? You like to make a fool about yourself?

Thats wrong.

There is no real relation.
El Ninos and La Ninas and the "neutral phase" where none of them is "active" exist since man kind exists, probably longer.
However with climate change, those phenomena change, too. And change their influence.
Yeah, I should have written Typhoon. ... hence the "official" western writing changes every few years :D ...

True, most people don't speak german. :P

Private space flight never was banned anywhere.
Stupid conspiracy theories.
Of course you need to file a flight plan and show basic security measures, after all: it is a flight!
Actually they do.
There are not only Hurricanes that make landfall. There are Hurricanes in the atlantic you never hear about.
And there are Cyclones, Taifuns etc. too.
Get rid of the stupid idea that continental USA are the center of the world.
It is just some 3% or 5% of the globe.
Because for many people it is just an 'sharing' product.

Most bottled water in the US is simply bottled tap water.
They don't process it in any way beyond the way the water utility already has processed it.
SAD, extremely SAD that you don't know that.
Most bottled water is: not filtered at all
Fixed that for you.
Why would one filter Evian, Perrier, Contrex, Vichy etc?
Well, some would rather call it "fermented" ;D
While water is usually not pure,
it is astonishing how pure water in the wild actually is.
Water that is polluted with feces and other human waste: that is a complete different story.
USB ports active and external Laptops allowed in your facilities ...
Not fase in general.
Here in Germany you can not even bring a phone or a pad, and often not even an eBook reader into a facility.
Regardless if the facility is nuclear or not ...

Try again ...
No, I mean: most people don't use a car.
They use public transport (to get to the train station).
And if one would park in the neighbourhood, like your parent suggested, his car would be gone when he comes back from the trip.
Your loony comment escapes me ... if I was lunatic, the voices in my mind would tell me, don't you think so?
