  How much lightning would we need to capture to power the entire U.S. electricity grid?

  Merely capturing the energy from 115 lightning strikes would supply all of the U.S.'s annual electricity needs.

I believe it would be a far greater problem if those people didn't die. Aging populations are a huge problem around the globe and unless we'd improve the quality of life to such a margin that octo- and nonagenarians are able to care for each other, I think we're all better off with people dying of old age.

I work for a small company, around 10 devs. We've picked up quite a few projects over the years where a freelance team came in, built something and when the going got tough, walked away. That said, I've seen the same happen at renowned companies, so perhaps it's just an issue of generally people taking advantage of the shortage in experienced devs. I would aim to get some longer term stability, either by working with a company you trust through your network, or engage a tech Lead/CTO for a longer term who can oversee the contractors.

Is it just me, or has DDG been having trouble often lately? Or is it just a combination with some outage + degradation of search results lately that makes me g! regularly these days? Didn't use to need that.
