Look at the demand and supply graphs for the 6 day period: https://www.ieso.ca/power-data

The lowest demand is about 12K MW, that is the base load, the load never goes below that. Nuclear and hydro cover that 12K MW constantly, and even hydro is throttles up and down to cover the some of the load that varies throughout the day.

Power plants that do not change their power output quickly, such as some large coal or nuclear plants, are generally called baseload power plants.

South Korea

Wasn’t there a massive movement of military force that got called off with minutes to spare?

mass production efficiencies wouldn’t kick in until they’re building hundreds or thousands

Maybe if you are building laptops and dishwashers. These are small building crammed with plumbing and electrical work, making 4 or 5 of them in a dedicated factory will significantly reduce production costs. You can have one guy who is good at flanged stainless pipe, one guy who is a panel building wizard, and so on. The first project will take the normal amount of time, each subsequent one will go much faster because the team already has a process in place.

Source: I worked industrial construction for 6 years, jobs where more than one copy of the same machine was being built always came in under budget because each copy was built quicker than the last.

A baseload power source’s most important quality isn’t constant output, it’s rapidly adaptable output.

A baseload supply shouldn’t need to throttle up and down, it’s the Base Load. The load that exists 24hrs a day.

Hey, what do you know! There is no labour shortage it’s just that BUSINESS OWNERS DO NOT WANT TO PAY EMPLOYEES. They want to go back to paying slave wages to migrant workers.

Yup, I have a 500gb HDD for Steam Games, loading screens are a few seconds longer than you would expect but that just makes time for a beer break.

If you put a little water in the pan with cold bacon it will steam for a bit and help render out the fat before it then deep-fries in that fat. To much water and you get whatever this is.

FAFO incarnate. Unfortunately while a subset of people did the fucking around, everyone is forced to experience the finding out.

TIL SearXNG, I will be testing that out this weekend.

They wanted the other guy. Voting 80% in favour for a guy only to have him tossed out by some rich prick might change some minds.

That has been good advice for at least a two decades.

Valve devs said “we are not working on, and have no plans to re-start work on Half-Life 3” in the recently released HL2 audio commentary. How much clearer to they have to be?

also, go play HL2 with the commentary on, it was awesome and worth the re-visit

Beaverton or not, it is true. No one wants to be known as the company that hired the failed trucker convoy pm.

Betteridge’s law: no. The liberals were the smart choice this time but there is no reason for them change the rules that let them win.

I wonder what happens when it hits a pedestrian or cyclist.

So which is it, liberals are too easy on crime or prisons are labour camps?

Yes, let’s join the countries that run on slavery! Then the conservatives don’t have to hide their plans to convert Canada into the North American branch of China’s slave labour industry.

Both of our 2.5 parties bleed money without significantly improving quality of life for people at the bottom.

My 1080 from 2017 has 8gb of vram. Still works fine.

Solid use of taxpayer funding.
