Who here is surprised?
Who here is surprised?
Putin is now leading polls in the south.
No, it’s just to die in the military.
The government bureaucrats will do the hard work of inseminating their daughters for them, to serve the state.
I mean, the lesson here is to give Ukraine back the nukes we traded them in exchange for guarantees of territorial integrity in the Budapest memorandum.
We failed, we did not protect your territory, we admit we failed.
So have some nukes with irbms and TERs as a consolation prize.
Damn putin, you sure outsmarted us…
That aircraft carrier had the best combat record in the Russian Navy too, took out a floating dry dock all on its own using the element of surprise!
We didn’t care about replacing him.
If he’d been … remotely fucking human, we would have been fine tolerating him forever so long as he didn’t throw kids into blenders.
Now, he chose to give us no choice, he’s gotta be gone.
This is something I’ve felt we’ve needed for a long time, but cloudscalers have their own environments that include resource management and beyond dev, if anything goes wrong they either reboot the net image or offline it for maintenance.
This is something I’ve wanted to throw together, will give it a try soon, could even be useful for development.
We really need them for boomers, for the world’s sake.
Poles: “Don’t invite them over for beer…”
Yeah, so we’re still what, 10k behind China this year?
Oh, my bad. That makes perfect sense and I have no objections for purely thermal storage.
It said steam to customer, my brain filled that in with turbine.
Largest permanent submarine fleet in the world…
100%
We need to build a wall around bibi and his settlers, and Hamas, and let them not be our problem anymore, bibi hijacked the whole course of events.
I really miss Barak, but anybody serious about peace learned the lesson of Rabin.
I can buy all of it, near perfect heating, but 2% for their forced air circulation combined with turbine and generation losses? Seems too good to be true.
Chatgpt (because we’re all lazy) :
Total Thermal to Electrical Efficiency
The overall thermal-to-electrical efficiency of a power plant, often referred to as plant efficiency, is the product of the steam turbine efficiency and the generator efficiency. Typical overall efficiencies for fossil-fuel-based steam turbine power plants (e.g., coal, natural gas) range from 33% to 40%.
In more advanced configurations like combined cycle power plants, which recover waste heat from the steam turbine exhaust to generate additional electricity, efficiencies can reach 50% to 60%.
Calculation Example:
If the steam turbine has an efficiency of 40%, and the generator has an efficiency of 98%, the total thermal-to-electrical efficiency would be:
\text{Total Efficiency} = 0.40 \times 0.98 = 0.392 \text{ or } 39.2%
So, for every 100 units of thermal energy input, 39.2 units are converted into electrical energy.
And that’s if you’re just heating the water before it hits the turbine, including the air circulation and basic entropy (there’s a limit to how much you can pull out via heat differential), it seems like it should go down from there.
What I’m saying, it clearly doesn’t look like it should be OK.
I mean… I’d like to use as a counterpoint that Israel claimed to support a state of Palestine, basically right up until the British left.
Then suddenly things got a lot more ‘Eretz Yisrael’.
I don’t doubt that Hamas might say they’re fine with the existence of Israel so long as they have no alternative, and their idea of Israel is probably different than Israel’s current borders, just like Bibi and his assholes have been trying to mumble noncommittal noises while they tried to bulldozer their way to the Jordan.
You understand that’s only from lack of resources? It’s not from lack of trying?
Should have had a flag…
I don’t think it broke international law, well, outside of the civilian casualties.
But… It should have. We need something so you can’t do stupid crap like this without some authorization, ie the UN has to sanction it somehow.
Which basically makes it impossible in most cases, but it should be.
1 was amazing, 2 was mostly fine (the arming up scene was perfect), but 3 went off the rails. 4 brought it back mostly.
