@Mctoon27 @_maltheism_ The moon is a biscuit. God nibbles away at the biscuit every month until there is none left (new moon). Then God creates a new biscuit, fulfilling the cycle.

@bassincad Margarine is an emulsion of oil and water. Plastic is a hydrocarbon polymer. Since polymers are one molecule, technically EVERYTHING is one molecule away from plastic as long as the molecule in question is a molecule of plastic.

You say you are aware of this, which is good because it's been well known since the 1970s. So let's recap shall we? The temperature co-efficient of an average panel is around 0.5%/degree. (You knew that!) The temperature of a panel can reach 65C or more in direct sunlight. (You knew that!) It's 'common sense' that you should expect around a 20% power loss during high temperatures but for some reason it triggered your 'common sense scepticism'. 🤣 Although, describing a 20% drop in power as a 'slump' does underplay it somewhat. Perhaps, 'alarming slump' would be better.

@ObamaWellington @peterrhague Except it's not ambient temperature its the temperature of the glass panel that's been sitting out in the sun all day. I even gave you a worked example from a random solar panel company and you're still arguing. 🤣😂

@ObamaWellington @peterrhague It's not a few percent, it's around 0.5% per degree above 25°C. Temperature of the solar panel (which is made of glass) can reach over 60°C on sunny days. firstclasssolar.co.uk/learn/temperat…

Interesting SQL article @MavenBI , but I do wish you would teach the SQL standard EXTRACT() function rather than the DBMS specific YEAR(). mavenanalytics.io/blog/sql-funct…

@renewablesmiffy Councils have ordered people to remove AC under net zero planning rules. That someone successfully appealed the order will never change that fact.

@chrisdepper @Gammitin Windows for Workgroups was originally an add-on for Windows 3.1. There was a later edition WfW 3.11 that had more of an integrated installation process. Windows 3.11 was just a small bugfix edition that replaced retail Windows 3.1.

@ZubyMusic Do citywide crackdowns on crime genuinely change the behaviour of criminals, or do they merely move to areas where it's easy to commit crimes?

The Wikipedia talk page rabbit holes are the best. Then there's the whole 'behind-the-curtain' drama that surrounds Wikipedia internal politics, notice boards, dispute resolution, arbcom, etc. Imagine giving the people who ran the Student Union anonymity and the power to shape online discourse...
