Also RGB is not consistent across various replication formats. And CMYK inks aren't quite consistent either, which is why proof prints are so important if you need color to be correct (especially if using a translation between color spaces)

I wouldn't even bet on it surviving for 12 hours. Too much supply will destroy some units just as easily as too much demand, and the daily shift in power usage can do that either way.

It sort of depends on the definition of "abandoned their post". If they shut it down on the way out, about 15 seconds if coal is involved.
If they don't shut it down on the way out, you'll run in to issues as soon as the load no longer roughly matches what is generated, either way. This is because the entire system is designed under the assumption that these will roughly match. If they don't, generators and other equipment can end up destroying themselves. This imbalance will almost certainly happen within about 12 hours. Everything would start catastrophically failing sort of like as happened with the Texas grid a year or so ago (though they got that under control before it was an enormous issue)

Reply to comment by skittlebog in ELI5: What’s car alignment? I read that cars should have it done regularly as part of their service. by LittleLostSadDeer
Also not completely sitting flat because as you turn, you want to maintain certain tire contact, and therefore need to compensate for that. There's also plenty of things with suspension abs even driving style that impact this, which is why it's important to get them aligned more than just the once. Each alignment is an approximation of what it will need to be, but those factors will almost certainly change over time
