Gilbert Blane was appointed to the staff of Admiral George Brydges Rodney as Physician to the Fleet in 1779. Blane was a medical reformer who was convinced by Lind’s original experiment with citrus and appreciated the need for a practical way of storing them. After considerable experimentation, he determined that adding 10 percent “spirits of wine” (i.e., distilled ethyl alcohol) to lemon juice would preserve it almost indefinitely, without destroying its beneficial properties.

Bing is for porn.

Nuclear and solar have competing problems. Nuclear is a baseload generator. It can't ramp up or down fast enough to meet the daily demand curve; it needs a steady, stable load, 24/7. The steadier and stabler the load, the better. If the load drops off overnight, nuclear has to dial back its continuous output to match that trough. And again: It can't ramp up and down fast enough to match demand, so it just has to stay at the lower "trough" level, with the remainder made up by various types of "peaker" plants.

To make nuclear as efficient at possible, we need to drive consumption to that trough. We have to increase overnight demand as high as possible, to minimize our reliance on inefficient peaker plants.

Now, look at solar. Solar stops generating overnight. Solar can't possibly meet overnight demand without storage, and grid-scale storage solutions are fundamentally limited. To make solar as effective and efficient as possible, we have to move as much demand to daylight hours as possible, where it can be met directly by solar generation, without storage.

The two technologies require opposing demand incentives. Making one more efficient necessarily makes the other less. Whichever choice we make here, the other one is relegated to a limited, auxiliary role in generation, and can never reach its full potential.

That should prevent future issues. If you're trying to rid yourself of sardonic people, you really don't need me fucking up your therapy.

You should go ahead and make me #5.

You haven't switched yet? What the hell are you waiting for?

Thank you for giving me so much attention. Makes me feel special.

UBlock origin will let you do this. Come back to this comment in a couple minutes...

Edit: Add something like this to your uBlock Origin custom filters. (The sites I included are all paywalls, but you can substitute your own)

This will turn something like this:

Reddit Enhancement Suite had FilteReddit, which had more fine grained controls to block posts linking to specific sites. I've been looking for a Lemmy equivalent, but UO is the best I've found so far.

Hey, your analysis checks out!

You sound like an American.

What makes you think I don't want to. Anyone who is sucking down air should be wanting to intervene. Not everyone has the capability and support to actually do it. I certainly don't. Stewart does.

If he knew two years ago what he knows today, I have no doubt that he would have stepped up.

I like Jon but don't believe celebrities should run for office.

Why?

I mean, my racist grandfather said similar about Obama.

He's also repeatedly said he has no interest in years past.

Years past, we all thought other people would step up to do the job. With the state of the world today, he might just be convinced that he needs to be the change he wants to see.

It's a pipe dream, right up until the time that it isn't.
