Nuclear power? That's just steam power with extra steps!

  • That inflation is a large part of why consumers are sensitive to this price increase. This is fundamentally a purchase with disposable income. Inflation reduces the disposable Income of the population until (if ever) wages catch up with inflation.

  • Man, where are people seeing all these cyclists? I have never seen a cyclist run a red light in my entire life but I have seen well over a hundred cars do the same thing.

    • Does there exist a factory game or zachlike that's like this?:

  • I think Satisfactory hits a few of these targets, if you haven't already tried it. The amount of resources is determined by a map that is not procedurally generated, so there is a hard cap to your resources per minute, though the resources never run out. So end game focuses more on playing efficiently rather than brute expansion.

    • For the Love of God, Stop Microwaving Plastic

  • The problem here is that in order to change a microwave to UV, you need to add energy to it. Generally, diffraction and distortion of light waves don't change what part of the spectrum they're on - that's why water doesn't change the color of light passing through it. The wavelength changes, but critically, the frequency doesn't, and frequency is really what defines the energy of a given photon, which in turn defines the part of the spectrum it's on. So if the microwave is turning into UV somehow, that means it has to be stealing energy from the container or food, which would make the food colder.

    I'd expect the only UV rays that would be emitted within a properly functioning microwave would be from the appliance light bulb inside of it if it's still an incandescent design or from the food/container itself if it gets sufficiently hot. I'm not sure of any mechanism in the magnetron that would make UV in any substantial amounts.

  • Yup. This is why the whole 'States rights' argument is absolutely bullshit. The only states trying to bring the federal government in to usurp other states' authority were the slave states.

    • US plans water heater standards, says will save consumers $11 bln yearly

    Jump

  • You're probably right about it not saving enough money, but the math you did above assumes one water heater per person.

    The median household in the US is about 2.5 people. So $34 per year per person becomes $85 per household. Reducing the time to break even to 17.3 years.

    Still longer than that water heater is likely to last, but not quite as bad.
