I reckon watching the video by the civil-engineering-focused YouTube channel would be a good way to find out
This nasty show my age, but this is about the only game release that I’ve been truly excited about in years
The post below this one in my feed is “Microsoft’s carbon emissions up by 30% due to ai”
That’s just false. The carrington event happened due to a sun spot on the sun’s equator. Last week’s was far further down, and was classified as “the strongest geomagnetic storm since 2003”. The CME from the carrington event was fired out of the sun on the solar plane, directly at the earth, while last week the CME was vaguely in our direction, but well below our orbit. The sun is a ball, not a flat disc, and it didn’t somehow steer the ejection toward us out of a sense of malice. The carrington event produced currents in static wire that were sufficient to set telegraph stations on fire. That would have tripped every breaker in the power grid, you can’t “harden” against that level of induction. It’s like saying that a practice amp and a Marshall plexi are the same volume because they both go up to ten on their volume knob. All you, and the pillock in that video, are saying is that you don’t understand the mechanism behind that number
Edit: adding a reference. The following article spells it out pretty damn well, written by someone who actually understands the subject - https://www.astronomy.com/science/a-large-solar-storm-could-knock-out-the-internet-and-power-grid-an-electrical-engineer-explains-how/
Biased against a moronic idea? I don’t quite see what you’re getting at. If he wasn’t biased against this he’d be an idiot. It’s a really stupid plan, like most tech-bro ideas turn out to be
Watching his whole series get accurately and factually rekt by an angry long-haired kid from New England was really rather pleasing
Maybe because there’s an army of us born and raised before diagnosis was common, living undiagnosed, and thinking we’re just fuckwits or that we broke our brains when younger.
A combination of having to live with just themselves for company over lockdown, and finding au/adhd memes that start as funny, and then slide toward “oh fuck, that actually explains a lot… is that… me?” has led a lot of people to seek help and diagnosis, so it looks like a rise of adult au/adhd spectrum individuals.
He only wants it for marketplace. I can sympathise, that’s where all the really good awful car deals are, and cheap tools that I don’t need, but really want
