This is a really odd statue (relief) even without the googly eyes.

This is definitely an act designed to go viral. Especially since she did it in Boca of all places.

That's the standard pronunciation in the UK. Hang around a train station and you'll hear it in the announcements constantly. People who consume a lot of American media or work with Americans might say it the American way.

If we're including the group stage countries, Ghana, Senegal and Cameroon have very similar flags and none are very relevant in world affairs.
Serbia and Croatia are close too.

Reply to comment by ackillesBAC in USB-C will be mandatory for all smart devices sold in India by Sam1515024
Yeah, it's a core part of my job. But it's not innovation, it's busywork. Millions of hours of engineering could have gone to something useful, and instead they've been squandered on regulatory compliance. But of course the big companies don't mind, because the endless layers of bureaucracy keep nimble startups from challenging their market position.

You think things like GDPR have helped innovation? I guess it spurred a whole new generation of "agree to cookies" nuisance pop-ups.

The SFSPCA shelter is so nice that I'd feel bad taking an animal out of there. "Sorry cat, no more luxury private room with a cat-scale local landmark. You live in my dingy apartment now."

Reply to comment by [deleted] in The US's largest ever combined wind+solar/battery electricity plant has opened in Oregon with a generating/storage capacity of 350MW/120MWh by lughnasadh
You also need to consider the capacity factor, which tops out around 30-35% for wind and 20-25% for solar. So with 300 MW wind and 50 MW solar nameplate capacity the best we can expect is average output of around 120 MW.
Nuclear has a capacity factor of >90% since it only ever stops for maintenance, so a single 1.1 GW reactor (eg an AP1000) is like 8x this plant.
But at least in the US we have plenty of otherwise useless windy land and it's incredibly expensive to build a nuclear plant, so maybe this is the way to go.

Looks like a 4th generation Ram 1500 and a 3rd generation Miata. They actually get almost exactly the same MPG ratings, but the truck can carry more people and cargo.
