  • Leaded is objectively better for everything except health/pollution. Which is the point of RoHS.

    Leaded solder has a lower melting point, flows much better, easier to visually see bad solder joints, and doesn't form whiskers. Also less brittle, so cracked joints are less likely.

  • A voltage change on the consumer side means increased current through a resistance somewhere in the line... Something undersized or overloaded, or a bad connection, for that kind of voltage drop.

    Still, that should not change the AC frequency of the grid significantly in this case... You're never going to have a different frequency than the power plants. They're all sync'd and the entire grid would go down if the frequency changes too much.

  • A dirt path, fine and great. Sounds nice for summertime.

    Lot of schools aren't in a warm climate.

    Those paths become unusable in winter, a muddy (unusable) slop when it rains or when the snow melts.

    Muddy paths lead to wet socks and dirty shoes at best, and at worst, you slip and get covered.

  • It's a fair metric IMO.

    We typically judge super computers in FLOPS, floating-point-operations/sec.

    We don't take into account any of the compute power required to keep it powered, keep it cool, operate peripherals, etc., even if that is happening in the background. Heck, FLOPs doesn't even really measure memory, storage, power, number of cores, clock speed, architecture, or any other useful attributes of a computer.

    This is just one metric.
