I think the one exception is their money, you definitely need some basic math to use it.

On the contrary, there is a lot of professional software that doesn’t run on Windows!

Gross or net?

… battery heaters and block heaters are a thing for ICE too though?

FYI: there is actually an XKCD font if you want to match the original more closely. https://github.com/ipython/xkcd-font

It takes a while to gather the data, new areas all the time.

No, the plant is full of primary batteries! 4.2 million AA cells!

Right. I mean, macs used to be the bees’ knees.

Who needs TurboTax when gnucash exists? :)

Onshape is pretty close.

Hey, mprime runs on linux (prime95)

Do you have a source for this tablet? Sounds interesting.

I’m surprised no one has mentioned Piwigo yet.

Also, starting in 2018 Google no longer actually searches for the words you entered. Instead, it tries to figure out “what you really mean” and shows results for that. See BERT

Ah, perhaps my source was off. Thanks for the additional data.

But looking at it another way, nuclear is less than twice coal. Estimating the cost of that georgia plant would put it at $16-17B, so those overruns would be atypical.

But my main point on cost is that government investment has been lacking in nuclear compared to renewables: https://www.forbes.com/sites/robertbryce/2021/12/27/why-is-solar-energy-getting-250-times-more-in-federal-tax-credits-than-nuclear/?sh=4a783c3221cf

Without investment, it’s going to stay just as expensive. And the main regulating body not having a mandate to develop the technology has just been holding us back.

A coal power plant is rougly the same cost per GW as solar or wind, doesn’t mean we should build more of them. I agree it’s expensive, but so were solar and wind a couple decades ago. Government investment helped research, development, scaling up - imagine if that had been done in the '80s, we wouldn’t be building natural gas plants right now.

Burying it in the ground with no considerations for leachants is not what nuclear disposal is.

Nuclear is the most regulated one. Start requiring full recycling / disposal of solar or wind and how expensive do they get?

Hydro is best as a giant battery bank, and pairs quite well with nuclear.

They’ve had to keep upgrading them - the percentage of nuclear is the same, but no new plants have been built, so that extra power has come from research on how close to the red line they can actually run.
