  To be a positive impact, they just need to be less carbon intensive thans the energy they displace. According to the first results on google, (presumably utility-scale) solar is about 12 times less carbon intensive than natural gas and 20 times compared to coal. So as long as you’re replacing base load and not utility solar, balcony solar could be as much as 10 times less efficient and still come out a net positive.

  Keep in mind also that these numbers keep improving as solar panel manufacturing becomes more efficient and starts using more green energy itself over the coming decades

  my only criticism is that it isn’t old-fashioned enough. if we’re reaching back to old names, why not go all the way and pick a name like Ælfgifu

  yeah I didn’t really understand that part tbh. if they can connect the array using flat pads, why not make that the connection for the memoryb instead of the fragile pins? why the extra component?

  So you don’t have to modify the amount when the recipe called for kosher salt but you only have sea salt. A cup of pasta? Depending on the type you end up with vastly different weight

  I get that it’s not the main point of the article, but is she seriously considering that someone’s meal choices are good indicators of whether they’d make a good babysitter?
