Yes, your total energy consumption drops, but your electricity consumption rises as a result. Electrification of stuff that relied on burning fossil fuels means that electricity consumption goes up even while total energy consumption stays the same or drops. I'm not necessarily saying that nuclear is the solution, but it's a solution that can at least buy us a few decades for renewables and energy storage to catch up to demand.
Not to mention, who is in control of making the tests? Mental health/aptitude tests have had a history of being at least a little bit racist, kinda like the old 'intelligence' tests that were designed to prevent black people from voting.
The image sensor is square... it should just shoot 1:1 scale and let you crop it to an orientation later
Hard rationing of greenhouse gas emissions
You're more or less describing cap-and-trade, where corporations have a limit of carbon emissions as 'credits' which can be traded on a market. So a company that doesn't produce as much emissions can sell their surplus credits to another company, so the market as a whole doesn't exceed a set amount of CO2 emissions. As it stands, in this or other carbon tax based systems, people pay for emissions in the form of sales tax on CO2 producing products.
wolves
I'd imagine they'd just leave again eventually. If suburbia was an advantageous place for them, they'd already be there.
Nuclear power plants within or adjacent to urban centers, especially in colder climate regions.
Nuclear plants are somewhat geographically restricted to needing to be close to a suitable water source, there's plenty that are next to or inside metropolitan areas. That being said, high voltage transmission means that a plant can still be a few tens of kms outside of a city before transmission losses start to add up. Also, small-scare reactors have been under development for use in remote communities.
Gray water recovery built into homes and municipal water systems.
Any sort of dirty water recovery is more efficient at the municipal scale, and plenty of towns are already doing that.
Urine collection programs for phosphate recovery.
Seems that's not a super easy thing to do (read expensive), but there's research being done... also apparently, a good portion of it in wastewater is from laundry soap... but as in the above, more efficient to just collect all wastewater and process it on a large scale.
Are you slow? nobody is arguing that you can hot swap a GPU. That's not what people are correcting you on.
YOU claimed that PCIE is not PLUG AND PLAY
NO. PCIE is not plug and play.
That was your comment. It was wrong. You were wrong.
Dude.... you're the one that said PCIE isn't plug and play, which is incorrect. Plug and play simply means not having to manually assign IRQ/DMA/etc before using the peripheral, instead being handled automatically by the system/OS, as well as having peripherals identify themselves allowing the OS to automatically assign drivers. PCIE is fully plug-and-play compatible via ACPI, and hot swapping is supported by the protocol, if the peripheral also supports it.
Agreed, it would be not a great idea, but also pretty useless unless OP is actually building a rackmount server which has power supplies that use 240V, at which point they would need 10/2 and an L6 receptacle, probably an upgraded panel... and really good home insurance.
Consumer grade PC power supplies that are rated for use here top out at 1600W, which is juuust enough to run on a dedicated 120V 15A circuit (though I'd feel more comfortable with 20A). Just dumping 240V into it doesn't automatically double it's power output, it would just use half the current from each phase
Except that's exactly how it works. Your house has two live feeds coming in that are 180 degrees out pf phase with each other. When combined, they create a 240V total potential. Your stove, clothes dryer, and water heater all use 240V circuits. A 240V breaker is actually two breakers adjacent to each other (because each alternating 'blade' in your panel is separate phases) with their switches linked together, so when one trips it forces the other off as well.
To OP: you can get a 240 breaker from Home Depot or wherever, but you will also need to replace your receptacle with one that can handle the increased power as well as 240V. You will also need to upgrade to 12/2 wiring on that circuit most likely. Also also... unless you have a 1500W or greater PSU, it doesn't make a difference if you have 120 or 240. Also also also, you can run multiple PSUs with multiple 120V standard household circuits, just without a joined breaker they won't all trip together.
Same in Ontario. I'll get a paper copy if I ask for one, but otherwise new scripts are faxes direct to the pharmacy. Even paper copies are a printout though. I haven't gotten a handwritten prescription in well over a decade now
