It’s a cool idea, but has not worked well in practice. The plant referenced in the 2016 article you linked (Crescent Dunes) stopped operation in 2019 due to performance and cost issues. It appears to have restarted after the original owner filed for bankruptcy and sold the asset, but at a lower capacity.

Good explanation. Crop rotation also decreases plant diseases and insect damage.
Good on you for including a written description of the image but… “picture of the actor Tony Stark”?
Edit: or are these descriptions automatically generated?
Even better, here’s a direct link to a NASA page discussing the data: https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/images/150192/tracking-30-years-of-sea-level-rise
Some quotes from the page:
Scientists have found that global mean sea level—shown in the line plot above and below—has risen 10.1 centimeters (3.98 inches) since 1992. Over the past 140 years, satellites and tide gauges together show that global sea level has risen 21 to 24 centimeters (8 to 9 inches).
“With 30 years of data, we can finally see what a huge impact we have on the Earth’s climate,” said Josh Willis, an oceanographer at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and NASA’s project scientist for Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich. “The rise of sea level caused by human interference with the climate now dwarfs the natural cycles. And it is happening faster and faster every decade.”
The altimetry data also show that the rate of sea level rise is accelerating. Over the course of the 20th century, global mean sea level rose at about 1.5 millimeters per year. By the early 1990s, it was about 2.5 mm per year. Over the past decade, the rate has increased to 3.9 mm (0.15 inches) per year.
While a few millimeters of sea level rise per year may seem small, scientists estimate that every 2.5 centimeters (1 inch) of sea level rise translates into 2.5 meters (8.5 feet) of beachfront lost along the average coast. It also means that high tides and storm surges can rise even higher, bringing more coastal flooding, even on sunny days. In a report issued in February 2022, U.S. scientists concluded that by 2050 sea level along U.S. coastlines could rise between 25 to 30 centimeters (10 to 12 inches) above today’s levels.
There are different sizes - the smaller ones are not hard to do in a sitting. For the larger ones, I find myself working on one area at a time, then putting it down and working on another area later. It’s not too bad - almost like a jigsaw puzzle.
Sorry about your dad. Not what you asked for, but if she likes Sukoku your step-mum might like nonograms (“Japanese crossword”). Different strategies than Sukoku but it feels like I’m using the same part of my brain and you make a picture in the end. Lots of free ones of varying difficulties here: https://www.nonograms.org/
As others have said “Young Adult,” but they’re not significantly different from the rest of the series imo. Protagonist in most is a child versus adults as in the rest of the books and they lack the off-color jokes and occasional swearing of the main series. Stories in the YA novels are about the same level of complexity as the others, and the violence is about the same, too.
One reader’s opinion.
The article is careful to say “most extreme” wave, not biggest. They’re defining that as the wave’s height in comparison to the other waves around it.
"Scientists define a rogue wave as any wave more than twice the height of the waves surrounding it. The Draupner wave, for instance, was 25.6 meters tall, while its neighbors were only 12 meters tall.
In comparison, the Ucluelet wave was nearly three times the size of its peers.
“Proportionally, the Ucluelet wave is likely the most extreme rogue wave ever recorded,” physicist Johannes Gemmrich from the University of Victoria in 2022."
I didn’t watch the entire video either, but early he talks about HSAs in the context of which types of FSA is available for people on high- deductible plans with an HSA.
Like for making PDFs of physical documents? It’s not open source, but the Google Drive app can scan documents. It works fine, in my experience.
I’m using Eternity. When I clicked to open the image by itself the resolution looks fine - it’s just the preview that’s low res. Probably a client issue.
I’ve always liked this plot. Quick note: at least for me, the embedded image isn’t readable due to low resolution.
Distribute the pi on the right side of your equality, and replace c with pi*d:
c+x = pi*(d+2)
pid+x = pid + pi*2
x = pi*2
To generalize for an height h,
x = pi2h
Edit: I did some weird markup, but won’t be fixing it
This is clearly nonsense. Besides the fact that 1000 mph wind is not possible, the earth and atmosphere are rotating at roughly the same speed.
Let me say it again, the earth and atmosphere are rotating at roughly the same speed. This is obvious.
The lack of basic education that some countries have on common physics concepts such as the rotation of the earth is shocking.
It’s as if they teach their school children nothing but abstract concepts for 13 years, and then send them out into the world without understanding how relative velocity works, or how electricity works, or how a computer works, or their nation’s laws and their rights as citizens and workers, or… anything, really.
For all that education, people seem to leave school completely unprepared for the real world. They are let down by the system. It’s sad to see.

Looks awesome! Did you grill the cucumbers?
In January 1783, Price returned to his laboratory in Guildford, ostensibly to start production of the miraculous powders. In fact, he set about the distillation of laurel water (which contained hydrogen cyanide, commonly known as prussic acid). He wrote his will at the same time, but it was another six months before he returned to London to invite members of the Royal Society to witness the experiment on 3 August in his laboratory in Guildford.
Despite the claimed successes of his initial demonstrations and the furor they had caused, only three members turned up in Guildford on the appointed day. Although clearly disappointed by the poor turnout, Price welcomed the three men and then, stepping to one side, ended his life by drinking the flask of laurel water he had prepared. The three men immediately noticed a change in his appearance, but before they could do anything, Price had died of cyanide poisoning.
