When the queen gets old it breeds new queens to take over the hive. Actually it breeds queens all the time, but those leave the hive and form new hives.
So a die off of 20% or more of the bee population/hives is a dramatic change.
Then I did not grasp the point of the discussion. My understanding was that 'random college students', that failed at college should learn Swift and become App developers.
No idea why you think (or your parent) that Norway is screwed. They have like 4 milion inhabitants, as much as Berlin and Vienna has together. On a land area twice the size of Germany and Austria together. They might have less income from external sources, why that should change their internal life style is beyond me.
Happy news is a state-of-the-art mind. It has nothing to do with being 'best' in anything. When I do rock climbing, sailing or Aikido, I' m happy... or making love, obviously. I'm now Go DAN in Aikido, my level of happyness has not changed while practicing during the last 30 years.
Supposedly slightly to the right of German politics, but she welcomes a million refugees to Germany She did not welcome 'millions'. The 2 million refugees are distributed over 500 million Europeans, not 80 million Germans.
The fact that something like 80% fail in the first 5 years shows that no, no they don't have a great idea most of the time. Failing in a business has 99% of the time nothing to do with the idea, but with running the business and interaction with government administration. Or in raw cases... an example would be Y2K reengineering, by the stupidity of the customers. There where once hundreds of FB clones, now it is like a few dozens...
As well to Rei as to jedidhia: I it is neither productivity nor rationality. It is culture. America loves his 2$ low wage jobs. E.g. two guys at a construction site on a road. Both turning a sign from stop to go to use a single lane to organise traffic. In the USA a common thing. In Europe unthinkable. It would break so many laws and regulations...

For the reasons you pointed out, the term base load is no longer relevant for modern grids. It is a historical term, most/. ers not even grasp in its historical meaning.
Over a course of a day the load (or demand) follows a certain curve. Over the course of a year, you realize the curve never drops below a certain level (different in every country and varies slightly by season)
Then obviously energy companies came to the bright idea: lets build some super cheap plants that burn super cheap fuel and run them at 95% 24/7. And that we cale base load. As it is the base of the load curve.
Obviously it is completely irrelevant if I produce my base load with fluctuating wind or constant running nuclear or coal plants.
For the load balancing plants it does not matter at all if they are orchestrated around demand change on a fixed base load or on supply change because wind provides base load.
In Germany a big deal of base load comes from wind meanwhile, traditional 24/7 95% plants get powered down. They need fuel. Obviously you power them down if you have "free wind" instead for base load.
Unfortunately americans especially but other/. ers too, are to dumb to grasp that.
They are actually called leechers. Farmers are those idiots that do the same repetitive tasks all day long to farm something. But often you can easy see they are actually bots.
In theory perhaps. But if you look at open uranium outlines in Australia and similar brown coal mines in Germany, I don't really see a difference. Black coal are usually very deep mines. Uranium ore has one of the lowest concentrations of the chemical you want to harvest from all ores.
The point, as you know, is that CO2 levels 55 MYA was much higher than 20MYA and mammals did just fine. Plant life did just fine. The conditions were fine for the branching out to a new order - Primate. And how is that relevant? Neither plants nor mammals from our time would strive under those conditions very good.
40% - 50% of all food produced on the world is thrown away. Potential increased crop yield if we increase the CO2 levels a little bit are close to irrelevant. Milder winters are pretty irrelvant to. And in many regions they are counter productive. Cold winters have lots of benefits for certain plants or animals. Then again temperaturre is also a matter of height. And winters usually were useful by depositing large amounts of snow in mountains which would be used as water during summer for irrigation... The situation is actually so bad already that French nuclear plants have to shut down during summer due to lack of cooling water because the river levels are so low because they had not enough snow in winter. Every warm winter, producing by accident the amount of rain it used to deliever as snow: causes floodings. In winter huge amounts of land in Europe have no plant coverage, rain on storm on them is not really what you want.
For production of H2 as far as I know, for refucing CO2 I doubt that is easy. In plants badically the same is happening, with captured photons they split water into OH and H and craft from CO2 and OH etc. sugars and fibres.
Yes, a single O2 molecule per CO2 molecule. As we are measuring CO2 concentration in parts per million (PPM) in relation to other molecules in the atmosphere, you probably can imagine how meaningless small that increased O2 out put is.

Care to point out which chemicals bee keepers are not allowed to use to kill mites? (*facepalm*)

Merkel is considered to be quite far right! Not left.

Savings is idle money and is out of the economy.
Only if you put it under your mattress, not if you put it into a bank.
They'll work the system as best they can.
Those people don't work the system, they are outside of the system.

Swift is an relatively elegant language and as thus a good candidate as first language.
I was not aware that you focused on 'first language'.
On Linux it should be easy to install Swift with an 'apt get' equivalent.
Yields for Broccolie, because you eat the whole plant.
Not for Tomato e.g. where you eat the fruits.
As the parent pointed out CO2 levels higher than about 100% of current levels are poisiones for many plants in so far that it lowers their growth.
For the reasons you pointed out, the term base load is no longer relevant for modern grids. /. ers not even grasp in its historical meaning.

No one is forcing the US companies, workers, consumers to accept this.
For some reason in Europe not everything is outsourced to China.
