Why, nothing happened. Let nature run it course. After the tide the water will flow back, and the 32 cm rise is nothing to worry about (after 4 hours, imagine the 24/7 guy observing the 1 mm high wave). It would make more sense when wa

The situation is you will need to pay a premium to the utility company once you are feeding electricity into the grid. The mandatory digital meter will register both usage and production flow separately.

Excellent! I will give it a try. The website itself is a bit underwhelming for several reasons. For the reader who already gets the idea, the text makes sense. But try to read it as a new visitor and my guess is many of them are clueless an

And, supply of coolant versus the delivery of steam is constructed in a mile long heat exchanger. Perhaps this can be solved by high pressure, high flow - but if it for some reason halts for just a minute OP's little reactor is already

The news I have been reading was a, Ukraine is using more than NATO is producing (hence, we are depleting) and b, production is ramping up very slow. Small fun fact when I was in the military: we had to shoot as much as possible because the

The motivation behind this project was the fact that the city has limited online property listings. Hence, wardriving. I guess that the availability of other online data is then also limited.

The article suggests the contrary: 4.8% use in US companies, down from 5.4%. (I would wish I would have gotten these numbers, but for a tech company founded in 2015 these are not remarkable).
