The Ligo interferomoters are very sensitive to vibrations. I remember hearing on the tour they said they could detect waves lapping on the coast a few hundred miles away.

its quite high, its hard to compare different fields since in a more active field papers will get cited more often. George Whitesides, one of the most cited chemists is at almost 270.

148 is the h-index, which is defined as the maximum value of h such that the author has published h papers that have each been cited at least h times. (from Wikipedia). My h-index is 13.

Isn't that true of most things, one can't farm pigs with an oil rig, those facilities really only make one thing. Certain facilities could be retooled/repurposed and this is maybe a bit easier in agriculture for certain thing

older diesels are valuable because they came before a lot of emissions regulations and will run on dirty fuel, desirable in Africa, this could be the issue the OP is actually describing.

It seems like a universal basic income would address this "unfortunate side requirement" better than somehow making all youtubers get paid enough to make rent. This would let people take the risk of doing content creation, either

Maybe the charging infrastructure isn't available?

This has a big impact for me. I'll go on some hikes on the local trails but other than that I'm not doing much. No longer trips, no seeing friends, not going out to eat, no travel, etc. My job is pretty interesting and I can work

its kinda on both if your standing on a peninsula. Although when you land at the airport you mostly see the bay and not the ocean at the same time

Exactly, unless those were the upfront deliverables of the projects, its a failure. Sure, not all the effort was 100% completely wasted but the goal didn't get achieved.

My 2011 MBA from grad school is pretty much done, its so slow. I replaced the battery and the charging port and its doing better but still about to end. Good 10 years though.

I remember that, luckily we were spared in Toronto.

In my old house we didn't have natural gas, options were: get a truck to refill a propane tank (we didn't have a tank), burn wood (we lived in the desert of eastern WA, not many trees) or use an electric heat pump (we had abundant

Chinese celery is probably a decent sub for the lovage, its much more flavorful than the watery US stuff. Available at Chinese markets. The leaves are also particularly flavorful and could work. Probably not exactly the same. Maybe mix with

I have some commercial asafoetida and it just has some edible gum added. Its in powder form. Seems to have a smell but not really objectionable.

I thought they were saying there wasn't enough transmission capacity but it wouldn't matter anyways since the rest of the grid didn't have any to spare. Maybe I misinterpreted or responded to the wrong comment.

I was remembering a bunch in Quebec. Not sure where all the hydro power in the pnw goes. Was nice to have cheaper power when I lived up there though!

I didn't think about heat pumps that makes sense. I had electric heat pump for heat when I lived in WA state. Worked well with cheap hydro power.

You could have a better insulated and much smaller home, but clearly this person has never lived in <30F weather, you obviously need to heat your home to have any modicum of comfort. Its unconformable if you are well prepared and healthy

Wow, that surprised me. Current demand is 45GW in Texas vs. 24GW in California. Over double per capita.

Isn't it immensely difficult to restart an aluminum smelter? Also, my vague memory of these is that in North America most of them are in areas with abundant hydro power.

Different choice of lubricants? I have no idea really, I also read they have wind power generation in Antarctica so its not a fundamental problem just a result of certain design/engineering choices.

Seems like CA might has 15-20GW of spare NatGas generation capacity. Looking back at the summer peak (9/6/20) I see 25GW generated at the peak, while we are currently only needing to generate about 8-9GW from NatGas (looking over

Do the other grids publish their generation/demand statistics live? I remember being able to check the CalISO page during the rolling blackouts in California during the summer.

Definitely not rare around here (SF Bay). I guess I look for them but I see a lot of people riding them. Maybe the allure of the more compliant/comfortable ride and durability attracts them. Often more $ than carbon as you said.

I check my indoor air quality and I only have to raise them to medium/high when air quality is bad outside (winter temperature inversions, summer fire season) or when cooking (often don't bother but I'm not as sensitive)

Mine run 24/7 on low for a few years so far, one is going on 3 years and the other is about 8 months. No issues other than periodic cleaning and filter replacement. Main hint: keep a spare filter before California fire season.

I have one in the bedroom and one in the main living/office area. They were essential in California during the past few years of fires. The indoor air quality was maintained consistently while outdoors was horrendous.
