If the switches have an unknown design flaw then it’s unknown how likely it is they’d both fail simultaneously My understanding is these switches are used routinely during the shutdown procedure or did I get that wrong?

It’s nowhere near an obvious conclusion. A failure with the locking mechanism or muscle memory confusion are just as likely, and probably other theories I’m not thinking of. More investigation is clearly needed, which is why this is called

Something I love about Mentour pilot is that he’s started doing videos on incidents where there was a near miss but no tragedy. Just as much to learn but without the ghoulish rubbernecking aspect.

It’s not straightforward though is it. It depends on your base load profile, your ability to time shift loads, what level of modal and geographic aggregation you have etc. i.e. not something you can just stick into an LCOE calculation and c

Dinosaurs are a fairly limited topic for movies. There’s not much scope to do anything massively different to what Spielberg did especially if you want broad appeal and a big budget. You’re not going to beat what he did because he did it fi

I don’t think it’s the time aspect. I think that on average movies and books offer far more insightful commentary on life and tell more interesting stories. That and the video game world is just less engaging than reality. Like in a video

How refreshing, a website that doesn’t punch me in the face with a cookie banner. Is that because they’re legit not tracking me or are they just noncompliant?

No you said it’s probably a dns configuration, posted some pointless name server addresses and implied government sysadmins are incompetent. What actually happened is exactly what this article said and I wouldn’t be surprised if they get no

And they responded to say “yes we took it down” so what’s your point again?
