  • Netflix made a documentary about the European islands that prioritized switching away from oil: Islands of the Future.

    I would say with China’s help, a renewable Cuba is entirely possible.

    My only concern is the hazards introduced by hurricanes, which can be compensated for by implementing flush roof-mount solar PV systems (minimizes wind loads), underground electric power lines, subgrade geothermal loops with heat pumps, indoor substations and Battery Electric Storage System (BESS) facilities, and pumped storage hydropower utilizing Cuba’s mountain ranges. Wind is probably not a viable technology given that hurricanes can completely cover the island with crazy strong winds.

    Edit: as another commenter pointed out, tidal power would be a good alternative too. The best technology I’ve seen to utilize tidal is made by Orbital Marine Power based out of Scotland, who basically slaps 2 turbines onto a submarine to collect power. Could have offshore substations that collect that power and send it back to shore.

    As soon as you convert from an .XLS file to a .CSV file, the data and sig figs used to display that data are saved while the math formulas used to calculate that data are erased.

    This means that when you try to go from .CSV to .XLS, Excel doesn’t know the original formula that created the data to then be able to display more decimal points. The formula is absolutely necessary to change sig figs of displayed data.

    The only other way I can think of that would allow one to change sig figs in .CSV data is if the .XLS file was converted with like the maximum number of sig figs displayed, or let’s say 10-20. Then in a .CSV, you can modify the sig figs to something less, like 0-20.

    But I want to say that if you save that .CSV file after the sig fig change, where you original converted it with 10-20 sig figs but then changed them to 0-20, the .CSV overwrites the data and you lose the sig figs that you concatenated.

    Result: adding decimal points in a .CSV isn’t possible.






  • This is some lib shit. Fuck that noise.

    If ICE keeps terrorizing communities, communities of people’s loved one, they have every right to protest that.

    I don’t know if you know this, but if ICE continue to do this shit (and they will), the the inevitable outcome is a civil war.

    This will not get better in the next year or 3 years before the next elections. It will get worse. And you’re telling people to just sit through the pain and suffering of this Admin, as if that will prevent more pain and suffering from coming.

    Tim Walz should have used the MN National Guard to defend the People of Minnesota. Ever since he was cucked by Kamala Harris after the 2024 DNC, she’s shone himself to be a limp dick that willingly bends over to lick the boot of the fascists.

    If Tim won’t protect people, they’ll do it themselves. And they’re right to.
