Great Scott!
- rje99 10mo agoI think we had the same though at the same time. Did you also hit your head on the toilet?
- cortesoft 10mo agoThat is clearly an intentional reference.
- bitwize 10mo agoThey probably did that deliberately, like when Google IPO'd for $2,718,281,828.
- npodbielski 10mo agoWhat is strange about it? Normal power plants have 2-3 gigawatts. Gas turbine having 300MW is probably just below average. What am I missing? Is it some US thing where G scale is not 10^9?

- npodbielski 10mo agoAh now it makes sense.
