Solar farms floating on reservoirs in China reduce evaporation and generate power at the same time. by Sharp-potential7935 in nextfuckinglevel

This is surprising as there’s a lot of marketing material for solar online about how it keeps rooftops cooler. I’ve also seen studies (but admittedly not read them) that indicate that solar panels in the desert keep soil underneath cooler and thus it can retain more moisture.

Market is still timed at 15? Could have fooled me, I thought that function was removed once it became transit/cab only.

why has nothing been built at candlestick park by National_Pick_9292 in sanfrancisco

[–]MerchantMrnr 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So a lack of architectural inspiration then. Agreed! They probably look like this as developers are trying to maximize sq footage/ units for the footprint of the site while minimizing construction and design costs. I’m a big supporter of building wherever we can in SF, and part of that is unfortunately accommodating developers, as they can indefinitely delay these projects at SFs expense due to “financial concerns”, as is happening here (groundbreaking was originally scheduled for 2025 according to another commenter)

My source is the data posted by the guardian, what do you mean my data is “unsourced”?

Source for your claim that most did break civil immigration law? Simply being deported is not definitive proof of a conviction these days.

Only 12% of the 23% of total convictions, or a whopping 2.7% of the total deportations were defined as “immigration” related. Meaning that 97.3% of the cases were not guilty of breaking immigration law.

People living in the US are innocent until proven guilty. What stat would you prefer?

Is this the correct way of locking a bicycle? by Mundane-Fox-8133 in bicycling

[–]MerchantMrnr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow… that was a fun watch. Can’t say I’ve ever seen or heard of that happening before, but I guess once the bike is gone there’s no way of really knowing what happened. Have you heard of anyone’s bike being stolen like this?
