What was the conservative plan again?

A huge failure? Of a Canadian government? I don't believe you.

Totally predicable for the past 60 years, news?

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.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base_load

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.

 

For 15 years I would see one or two u-turns a year while commuting, now I see at least one per day. wtf?

 

I got a stainless wood pizza oven with a 'stone' floor as a gift and while I rarely put pizza in it, I love it for making bread. Temperature control is not so simple but the camp-fire flavour more than makes up for it. By far the best thing it makes is pita bread as the temperature is high enough to really inflate the bread with steam.

Is anyone else using wood for their baking? What does your oven look like?
