Would you care to elaborate why you say that isn’t a huge pay raise? It seems quite significant to me.

These machines are typically wired to electrical directly. I would expect they are powered using 480 VAC. Google states they typically use about 14kw in standby mode and up to 80 kw for a scan.

Thank you both for a positive example of challenging someone’s post.

I’m guessing CF stands for cluster fuck.

For those not familiar with it, it is an aptitude test that covers a wide range of topics. The results can be informational. Beware if you score well enough to fill a job in the army that is really understaffed, you will never get the recruiters to stop calling.

100 is just the average. Most people score within 15 points in either direction of the average. The point being that 2 digit IQ occurs in about half the population. That said, his 79 still means he is dumb.

It isn’t always that they don’t know what they want, sometimes they just don’t know how to describe what they want, or they may know what they don’t want.

7th amendment provides for a jury trial in common law. The 6th provides for a jury in criminal cases.

My mind immediately started singing Queen when I saw this picture. “Fat bottom girls you make the rocking world go round.”

The are you sure message is your parents and peers looking at you like you are stupid.

Would be nice to see the faces of those proud boys showing up at school board meetings too. If they realize that, expect the bill to die quickly.

Video shows three new origins plus the ability to have non-gestalt consciousness. New megastructures.

We didn’t replace jobs with productivity gains. We absorbed them into our jobs. Consider expense reports. Used to be that you would send all your receipts to an administrative assistant and they would send you a report to approve. Now that work gets pushed down to an individual responsibility. Company thinks if we let each worker do a little more, we can get rid of this position.

Shit, I still see them pull out checkbooks.

That graph is horrible and provides very little data. The graph shows the output volume of a single coal plant and then compares it against a just a volume. Without knowing how many plants would be required to consume that much volume, you have two different units of measure along displayed. Volume per plant VS Volume.

A better comparison is given in the article, which says LNG is half the CO2 output per unit of energy produced. This doesn’t capture the whole picture though and the article dives into those details related to leakage of gas, and costs to produce. The article doesn’t bother to give a comparison to the emission equivalent of the energy spent to mine the coal either.

I don’t think the article is making the assertion that its author is attempting to make.
