I only know The Pirate Bay history part well. In 2006 there was a message posted by him in the forums that was: "This one is a guilt-free download. (shhhh - I didn’t say that out loud). If you know what I’m talking about, cool." A

While there's no consistent standard, most countries appear to be using something in the 10-14g range for what they call a "standard drink"/"unit" of alcohol. (UK is 8g, but the rest of the EU typically uses 10

It does quiet down eventually. There's no scheduled departures 22:55-5:45 and only a handful of arrivals 23:59-6:45. However, arrivals stay pretty heavy right up until 23:59 even on schedule and if you've got a lot of delayed flig

An obvious issue is going to be that while it's supposed to be a lower-traffic time, if you've had delays cascading down the day - it may not be in reality. If the staffing doesn't adjust for delays shifting the time of fligh

I mean, there's a well-documented link between colon cancer and inadequate fiber intake. And it's also well-documented that the average Western diet is highly deficient in fiber and that this is a thing which has gotten much worse

Ireland hasn't mined any coal in 35 years, this plant was not operating on domestic resources to begin with. Anyway your actual problem are data center buildouts that are causing demand to skyrocket. They've gone from 5% of your e

I assume that this means you're sending out rejections that include a mention of "we've hired someone else for this role". If your hiring model is hiring multiple people through one posting, then you will probably get a

The Biden admin did try to make large-scale investments in renewables and policy changes to encourage the energy transition in the US. The situation at the end of the admin was far better than when it started. Why are you using a tone that

Depends on your system constraints. As an example: I live in New England. We do not have enough natural gas pipeline capacity to meet demand in long periods of very cold weather, and have very limited natural gas storage that can't buf

I think the problem with your thought is that it really requires a "stars to align perfectly" kind of thing for that to actually be achieved, especially over the long-term. Many people had that sort of experience in say....the 195

My comment doesn't imply that at all. We absolutely need more solar, and a lot of it. Just that we don't necessarily need more of it everywhere without making accompanying storage investments. (+ possibly transmission investment
