Thanks!

It’s a relatively new technology, and such is its proposed use.

The Russian plant is stationed there for the time being, yes, but it could be moved elsewhere, which is the beauty of it. It’s just that Chukotka relies on it for now.

Sure, here’s a Wikipedia article:

Here’s IAEA:

Aside from that, nuclear power is used in some of the icebreakers since the Soviet era:

Also, I was under the impression China has such ships deployed, while they are actually being built. Russia has an operational one.

Lol

Interesting, thanks!

Guess it’s the same kinda thing as amd64 on Intel lol

Why does default config check Mozilla specifically?

Guess that’s why I’ve seen Anubis check screen quite a few times.

With all the advantages renewables have (please use and develop them!), there are some instances where they can’t reasonably be used.

For example, I live in a city of 5 million people that gets very little direct sunlight (weather is cloudy most of the time + city is located 60° North), has highly irregular seasonal winds, has rivers too small to make hydro make sense on such a scale, and barely has good hills for pumped hydro. It is almost exclusively powered by nuclear energy, because under these circumstances, there’s barely a greener alternative.

There is also the need to have a backup power source for most solar/wind installations, as through some parts of the year they can only provide negligible output.

Finally, some regions might require temporary power - either due to such seasonal downtimes, or because main grid has failed. For that, Russia and China operate vessels with onboard nuclear power plants to source energy through these periods - and then move on to help somewhere else.

Induction directly heats the bottom of the cookware (as opposed to regular hop heating the surface which then heats the bottom of the cookware), and from that bottom the heat is transferred through the entire volume of your utensils. And then food is heated off that.

Hehe, I dream of having my own lab at some point too! But in my case it would be worth $200.000 on the low end.

And overall, nice!

My induction hob can heat things up faster than gas

It’s a combination of high power and high efficiency

About a month should be covered

Every thermal machine is technically ~100% efficient at producing heat, but then how much heat is spent usefully is another metric, depending on materials used (and subsequent thermal dissipation), loss in cables, etc.

Right. The hob needs to heat up entire surface of your cookware, and kettle transfers heat directly from the element below to water - only then some of that heat is dissipated.

You can buy a mini kettle that has a minimum of 250-300 ml, or 1 cup.

just stick WHAT on top of the stove

My number 1 part of kitchen education was “do not EVER put ceramics on a stove”

Ironically, commies use a kettle

Gigabyte - sure, but it’s not typical for a flatpak to bring so many heavy dependencies.

Huh?

Either it did something it shouldn’t, or the system updated Nvidia drivers every time for no apparent reason. I have an Nvidia GPU, running proprietary drivers, and haven’t ever witnessed anything of the kind.
