Yeah, you’re welcome

Oh thats funny. I have a ton of little things like that.

Yeah I’d imagine its the Neptune Roman connection. I was super into mythology and ancient civilization as a kid.

That’s my opinion on it for the most part.

What do you mean

Reasonable

Should a person be able to own the home they live or the land its on? If the person cleared that land and built that house themselves, does the answer change?

Whatever kind you understand best or think should/shouldnt be implemented.

Whatever you see it as.

Only takes one person pissing in the punch bowl to make it a piss bowl.

Its ironic you bring that up considering Cuba is one of the worst developed nations to be a doctor.Yeah and those doctors make 60 bucks a MONTH. They have to work abroad, or hold second jobs. Even when they work abroad a huge percentage of the money is funneled back to the government. They have a tremendous problem with corruption. Electricity is out constantly. They also have a horrific track record with political prisoners and massive human rights abuses in said prisons. They have zero freedom of speech and can be put in prison for even participating in threads like this one. I’d say thats a poor example.

How do you mean?

American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis and Building a non anxious life by Dr. John Delony. The former being fiction and the latter being non fiction. To nobody’s surprise, they do not play well together.

Why

No clue, thats for politicians to figure out. I stay in my lane.

I MEG I dont KILL 😉

I don’t know the answer to that aside from transformers being utilized to feed back to the grid.

Everything is organized at a high level depending on the state/municipality. I’m currently in a very large hospital plant but we are also considered a utility. So, we generate 95% of the hospitals electricity day to day. We could generate 100% but we want to stay tied to the utility. So, sometimes on high demand days we get called on to produce as much as possible and feed back to the grid. The money generated by that feeding goes back into the hospital’s bank account. At some plants operators and engineers get FAT bonuses based on total generation.

Does a bell ring? Basically yes, at least in my state. Days that are extreme in either direction (hot/cold) require considerably more electricity. Say its gonna be 105 F today. Major utility plants will all be operating at as close to max output as possible. Some plants even exist mostly to only come on line in high demand times.

How long does it take to ramp up from cold? Completely depends on the system but ideally you bring any boiler/steam system up slowly and progressively. Most boilers are kept warm enough to start relatively quickly. To truly start from cold takes awhile, trying to rush that process can be dangerous.

A fucking ton dude
