That's the common journalist error of mixing up power and energy. 1 Watt is 1 joule per second, and is a rate of power. Saying a datacentre will have a daily thermal load of 16 and 18 gigawatts is like saying your car has a daily thermal load of 14 litres of gas per kilometre.

Heat exchange can be given in watts, but again that's heat exchanged per second. If a room has a heat loss of 500w you can maintain temperature by using a 500w space heater on max or a 1000w space heater at 50% power. Saying the room requires 500w of heat daily doesn't make sense.

It's most likely the data centre has a maximum power draw of 18 gigawatts if everything was running at max all at once, which isn't a realistic average use, and also doesn't give an indication of how much heat is being produced.

It seems they got the 23 nuclear bombs by taking the amount of energy the Hiroshima nuclear bomb was estimated to have released (about 63 terajoule) and comparing it to the amount of energy consumed in 24 hours at a rate of 18 gigawatts (18 gigajoule/s × 86,400 s/day is about equal to 63 terajoule × 23).

It's how level the wings are with the ground. 0° means the plane's wings are perfectly level, 90° means one wing is pointing straight up and the other towards the ground.

They were founded in 2012 and exist primarily to challenge US laws that are overtly religious. If a governor passes a law saying public schools must teach Bible study, atheists can't legally object under US law. You can only object if a law violates your religion, not your lack of religion. So what if you made atheism a religion? That's the Satanic Temple.

It's Satanic themed on purpose because "court rules schools must provide children Satanic literature" makes for a funny headline when in reality it's just a paragraph about critical thinking.

I just assumed all female v-tubers were actually guys IRL. Is that just me?

No, it's a very common idea, though I'm not sure why. There are thousands of v-tubers, but it's the top 1% that make 90% of the money. Pretending to be a woman online isn't a cheat code to becoming rich and famous.

A lot of v-tubers are drawn to it because it creates a separation between their onscreen persona and their real life face.

I've never heard of any kind of petition actually changing the status quo. I'm honestly not sure why people sign them.

I had to look it up, you're not kidding. The pilot literally just screams their decent rate (22,000 feet per minute) and bank (60°) a few times and then nothing.

Crazy this guy's children got 5 different candies with needles in them but literally nobody else has. Talk about bad luck!

I have about 100 hours into it. NMS has pretty much every mechanic you could imagine, but they're shallow and become repetitive fast and there's almost zero overlap between them. That doesn't mean it's bad, but definitely temper your expectations.

For example: there's an entire quest line about growing your own plants and refining them into expensive items that you can trade for millions of credits. These plants have grow times of 16 real life hours so you can really only cash in once every real life day.

You can also just teleport between a few galaxies buying low and selling high to generate infinite money in a couple hours. If getting lots of money is your goal, then that quest line is a waste of time. You have to enjoy the act of searching the galaxy for seeds of rare plants and building out a huge farm for no other reason than it's fun. Most of the game is like this.

There's no reason to collect the bones of ancient species, or to farm asteroids for rare minerals, or to investigate derelict freighter ships, other than it's a fun way to pass the time.

Look buddy I know what a bunny rabbit looks like alright. Maybe it's the people in Guinea who got no idea what a pig is?

LinkedIn allows people to put a green circle around their profile picture to indicate they're looking for a job.

Generative AI needs training material. If an AI can make CP, it should definitely be investigated.
