This is the strawman. Can you give me a link to someone that lost their job for something they wrote 5+ years ago that was actually "edgy" and not, like, grossly insensitive? The poster I replied to, in a separate common for this

There's nothing "wrong" with the units, besides that it is easy to get confused, evidenced by GP calling the turbine "7MW(h?)". If you want to compare, however, you will have to convert to common units, and I at lea

This math checks out but the way you present the units is deeply confusing. It's not your fault though, I blame watt-hours. You use 8kwh==28.8MJ of energy per day. 28.8MJ/7MW turbine is about 4 seconds, as a watt is a joule per se

This is nonsense, there are plenty of public trash cans in Tokyo at least. Not on every corner like in the States, but within 2-3 blocks you can find one and plenty of establishments have no problem letting you use their trash can.
