"end up on regular business bullshit"? CRUD webapps?

I have witnessed numerous times hiring managers that would request that HR only sends them resumes from 1-2 target schools, specified by name.

not at all uncommon with other highly specialized professions either.

MD's kids are 24x more likely to become MDs as well.

has been reflected in the student body as well in some ways? tia

it doesn't remove all minerals. Flouride isn't removed, unless the unit also has an alumina filter.

Didn’t he score first in a California-wide math contest?

How many people on this board can claim the same?

Why is a nuclear reactor in the sky "renewable", but a nuclear reactor in France isn't?

Why then Turkey lira isn't very valuable? Turkey demands the lira for taxes too.

How do you measure "cheaper than nuclear"? How much is a life of a dead 10 year old cobalt miner worth in accounting terms? Whatever the price of a coffin is in Africa? What about the ecosystem destruction such mining causes, who is going to put the dollar figure on that?

I don't think we even have enough proven mineral reserves to supply sufficient battery storage to supplement the renewable aka unreliable grid, and hydro dams aren't always right nearby to pump the storage. Long haul transmission eats up huge chunks of generated energy too.

I don't get this weird fetish with fields upon fields of solar panels and windmills, vs a relatively very tiny building that produces gigawatts constantly for several decades.

Why is it better to destroy ecosystems, to destroy fields and kill birds? Just to assuage some irrational phobia around the same thing that's literally heating the Earth's crust?
