I wonder if radiation from the accident add to the power (or damage the solar cells & reduce their life).

They donât get cancer, otherwise I doubt thereâd be any vectors for concentrating the chemistry or raising it up out of the groundâalso pretty limited to life processesâand redepositing onto the surface of the panel or infiltrating the assembly.
The biggest problem with the idea is the building and maintenance to be done.

at the end, he gives the example of
10.695-- pronounced ten point six nine five. in britain.
in france, they write 10,695
pronounced dix virgule six cent quatre vingt quinze
but in the US, it used to be common practice to say
ten and six hundred ninety five thousandths

True, but one of the big hurdles for âgreen energyâ was at least partially there: the infrastructure to get the power to where it is used.
Although, on typing that, 30 years of no line maintenance probably made that a moot point.
And just ask HR⌠People are a resource. Use them up and get new ones.

If the goal is to have a verbal counting system that presents the most significant information first, then we should start with the order of magnitude, then the digit
2019 would be something like âthousand-two ten-one unit-nineâ
and definitely words like âmillionâ and âbillionâ should not resemble each other so closely

Holy smokes! I got one of these as conference swag a couple weeks ago, but it was in bag form (with some stuff in it), and I couldnât for the life of me figure out why it had this weird zipper pattern on part of the bottom of the bag.
I just went and folded it up, and it turns out the zipper zips it up into this little pouch!

They should make jeans that can do that! Itâs already got the zipper. Hmm, maybe it already does and I just didnât know.

Well youâll never know if you never try.
Iâm most curious about how they kept the salmon alive in the MRI.

Thatâs the punchline. The salmon was dead and frozen into a block of ice when the test was run.
The âsalmon testâ proved that testers had to be more careful accounting for false positives in their work.
