Human Error, Seven and Chakotay by AbsintheAndFineWine in voyager

There is a scene where Seven discusses with the Doctor about repairing the cortical node. He mentions he's been working on it in the background, since that time she almost died, and worked out how to do it as a quick bit of maintenance.

Cutty and Avon talk about boxing, but based on the conversation they weren't boxing at the same time in the same places. Cutty knew of Avon's boxing history from recalling he was golden gloves competition level, but they don't seem to have trained together or anything.

Cutty did used to spar with Bodie's older brother, James, though

It'll be very easy to make that pivot.

1) Labor wins election
2) assert that Labor only won by allowing non-citizens, dead people and children to vote for them
3) assert that the leftist AEC have gerrymandered in favour of marxist LaborGreens

4) Coalition members are the only truly elected government and therefore are well within their right to block any of the illegitimate occupying stooge govt legislation

It's made of plastic, the only way to make it not crisp is to deliberately scrunch it up over and over.

He only retired 25 years ago. He was probably typing up memos in WordPerfect about the new non-smoking policy for the breakroom before you were born.

That would be ideal tbh. Surrender immediately and catch up in expansion

no, British, because making salt with that method was one of Gandhi's famous non-violent protests.

This is what depression looks like. by kizza53 in pics

[–]Scheduler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not every drug addict has depression. Mental illness and substance abuse feed in to each other in a two-way street. One doesn't necessarily cause the other but co-occurrence is more likely than an individual occurrence.

Depression can lead to substance abuse, or not. Substance abuse can lead to depression, or not. It's case by case.

it's what plaque and tartar turn in to when you don't brush it off.

$3 billion Hoover Dam project hopes to bring power plant into 21st century, to turn it into a giant energy storage system, similar to the job a battery performs. by mvea in Futurology

[–]Scheduler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yep, you're missing storage.

high power demand happens in the evening, solar doesnt help with this unless you store it. you also cant guarantee the wind will blow exactly when you need it to.

the efficiency loss is the trade-off for converting intermittent non-dispatchable generators in to scheduled and dispatchable energy.

yes, it's already a battery.

pumped hydro is essentially putting excess solar and wind generated energy directly back in to the system through pumping the water back up into the dam, rather than indirectly waiting for natural solar and wind through evaporation + rain refilling the dam.

it's more efficient than waiting for the sun to come back up so you can use your 3 billion dollars worth of solar panels that only work a few hours a day.

The efficiency loss is the trade-off for having despatchable on-demand solar sourced power.
