Alternative post:OIL PANIC posted:A piki stone, which is a “slab of granite stone two to three inches thick and about eighteen by twenty-four inches. ... smooth[ed] and polish[ed].” You use it like a cast-iron grill. “When the stone becomes red hot, watermelon or muskmelon seeds which have been roasted until the hull becomes soft, and then ground fine, are sprinkled thickly over the stone. As the ground seed burns, it turns black and is rubbed over the surface with a thick folded rag. The oil from the seed oozes out and penetrates and saturates the stone, and it turns black and shiny.” more like OIL REASSURANCE amirite

They form giant schools and the ones that don't get eaten by every aquatic creature and bird in the area breed and die. They die off like this regularly and it's a known part of the season for fishermen and scavenging animals.

In the hours after Ian hit, only rescue workers were allowed onto Estero Island. Greg Dosmann, a 60-year-old retired investment adviser from St. Louis who built a 5,200-square foot house there in 2018, wasn’t willing to wait. He chartered a boat with his builder, Tom Potter, to survey the damage. The house was built with windows, doors and reinforced concrete walls designed to resist winds of at least 170 miles per hour. Dozens of concrete pylons were driven 20 feet into the sand to keep the house from being knocked off its foundation. It had a sacrificial ground floor with breakaway walls designed to give way to floodwaters. With an elevated pool, 12-foot ceilings, elevator and high-end finishes, the house cost roughly $3 million to build, on top of the $1.8 million Dosmann paid for the lot. Dosmann and Potter anchored close and waded ashore, catching sight of the mansion still standing amid the wreckage of dozens of older houses. “It performed like it was supposed to,” Dosmann said.

i find it interesting that chinese state media always uses kilowatts instead of megawatts or gigawatts. not sure if it is a translation thing or a more intentional choice

Trabisnikof posted:i find it interesting that chinese state media always uses kilowatts instead of megawatts or gigawatts. not sure if it is a translation thing or a more intentional choice they're also measuring kWh per year which may just be an accounting thing to adjust for variable load or marketing to make big number. Chinese also denominates large numbers by 10,000 (and 100,000,000). 1e9 kWh per year is roughly 115MW, which isn't actually that big for a nuclear reactor. 3 of 5 of the Fukushima reactors had 760 MW operating capacity corona familiar has issued a correction as of 17:46 on Nov 3, 2023 |

Chinese also denominates large numbers by 10,000 (and 100,000,000). yeah the ACP100 (Linglong One) design is rated for 125 MWe, so certainly qualifying for the S in SMR. we'll have to see if it is modular enough to really drive down costs or not. especially compared to Hualong One which has seen a good learning rate over the reactors they've built. China is also building 21 full size nuclear reactors currently and has plans to build 150 in the next 15 years.

Meanwhile the 4 reactor nuke plant near my hometown has been in progress for 40+ years and hasn't been completed yet. In fact they sold it to a private company a few years ago for $100k, after spending over 6 billion us dollars developing it.

I paid for ours for over a decade with higher rates then they shut the whole thing down and slapped the c-suite with fines and short sentences for fraud. construction liquidated in bankruptcy. the rates? nah they never lowered those. we’ve been habituated.
