What is the right thing to do with people that you meet that think putting solar panels onto roads is a good idea?

Tell them it's a good idea on the surface, but the physics behind it makes it impractical.
They'd work much better on a roof... oh wait, that is already done... with limited success.
12:57
@rdtsc I was thinking more on the lines of how to get rid of the bodies without anyone noticing
When you drive over the solar panels, you can squeeze the last drop of energy from them
@Marla however not the last drop of hope in humanity, thats gone for a while now
@PlasmaHH . . People have always believed in the last thing that they heard.
Tell them a new idea and the old one goes away
your planet is weird
hey, its not my planet. I am just renting here.
13:03
I know a company that can redo a whole planet in just under a century, I could send you their contact data...

Hmmm. . . If you visit a virtual reality restaurant, does it leave you virtually hungry? Or literally hungry?
(virtual versus literal. . one of my peeves.)
my second peeve is "hone" versus "home". So many people use the word as, "The missile honed in on the target")
didn't some famous dictionary recently changed the definition of literally meaning literally or figuratively?
what about farmers equipment? like hoes?
let us not go down that path :)
@PlasmaHH . . This terraforming company you speak of. Do they have any references ?
@Marla even though the former owner of venus was unhappy with their results (they claimed he was just too unspecific with "warmer"), I heard they made a really nice resort for beings that do extreme sports at Gliese 667Cc
13:44
They didn't happen to work on this planet, did they ? : nypost.com/2018/08/20/…
Titanium may be popular, but not that popular.
@Marla nah, afaik thats another companies weapon system manufacturing plant

Hello everyone :) This is my first time on the chat of any StackExchange site. I have used the "Q&A" Sites (what would basically call the forums, with the threaded structure) a couple of times. Chat rooms are not as "formal" right? I'm wondering if I can ask questions here, such as "What the hell is a watthour"?, or "Why is the Watt figure on my Apple HomePod 9.25 watts, yet this seems to me to be watthours, not watts?", etc :)
I mean, you could, but Quora is probably a better place to start with those questions.
There are significantly more people who will see your question; there will be more people who will be able to answer.
Things that would be better answered by a google search probably aren't a good fit here
Ya, that too =)
perhaps try filetype:pdf site:edu

The kilowatt hour (symbol kWh, kW⋅h or kW h) is a unit of energy equal to 3.6 megajoules. If energy is transmitted or used at a constant rate (power) over a period of time, the total energy in kilowatt hours is equal to the power in kilowatts multiplied by the time in hours. The kilowatt hour is commonly used as a billing unit for energy delivered to consumers by electric utilities. == Definition == The kilowatt hour (symbolized kW⋅h as per SI) is a composite unit of energy equivalent to one kilowatt (1 kW) of power sustained for one hour. One watt is equal to 1 J/s. One kilowatt hour is ...
of course i can read that, but its not like getting it explained by a person… Wikipedia works well if you want to read up on science for me, but not for asking questions
ill have a look at quora too, but i think now ill search google for science education chatroom or something like that
19:24
oO
wat
19:53
Getting ready for the next flash crash... I need a new SSD
can someone point me to that great animation of sine and cosine projections during rotation around a circle??
@PlasmaHH @Marla venus turns its crust inside out ever few hundred million years, with plenty of volcanoes and not much water, If our planet did that I am certain it would get 'warmer'
And by inside out, I mean the entire crust melted
20:39
@laptop2d might have been like that on your last visit, these days it is a measly 740K on the surface
The pressure is fun though
21:03
It's hard to imagine what supercritical C02 would do to things at that temperature/pressure, commercial electronics are defiantly not going to work
Even the silicon carbide electronics look like their in rough shape
21:22
Folks, did ARM Come up with a family to supersede Cortex-M4, or is the Cortex-M4 at the front line (since 2010 still)?
21:37
@NickAlexeev there was this not too long ago arm.com/company/news/2018/08/…
22:01
@laptop2d The Venus environment has yet to break the SiC chips
Those parts look beat up, but it's just dirty (and the die are not enclosed/encapsulated)

The ARM Cortex-M is a group of 32-bit RISC ARM processor cores licensed by Arm Holdings. They are intended for microcontroller use, and have been shipped in tens of billions of devices. The cores consist of the Cortex-M0, Cortex-M0+, Cortex-M1, Cortex-M3, Cortex-M4, Cortex-M7, Cortex-M23, Cortex-M33, Cortex-M35P. The Cortex-M4 / M7 / M33 / M35P cores have an FPU silicon option, and when included in the silicon these cores are known as "Cortex-Mx with FPU" or "Cortex-MxF", where 'x' is the core number. == Overview == The ARM Cortex-M family are ARM microprocessor cores which are designed for...
Says there are Cortex-M7, Cortex-M23, Cortex-M33, all introduced more recently than -M4.
Looks like -M23 is a follow up for -M0+, but -M33 might be a replacement for -M4.
23:10
@ThePhoton Thanks. I've read the wiki too, and had similar thoughts about what might be superseding what.
Come to think of it, I'll ask this at our neighborhood ARM TechCon.
