What about using photosynthesis to create a ton of biomass stored energy in the form of plants that can be used as kindling to warm up the house at night?

Reply to 700,000 without Power in Michigan by detroitdiesel
Power corrupts -- and not having any power certainly reduces corruption.
This is one way to ensure cleaner politics in Michigan.

Just seismic waves bouncing around and loosening some faults. Nothing to see here -- especially if it concerns Papua New Guinea.

Not really. They are actually deleted. If you mean ip logs. There isn't such a thing. People could have taken screenshots but they didn't.

Are you a time traveler from the 1800s or are you just old? This is a really old metaphor dating back to pre WWI.

Pretty sure that chats are auto disappearing in most apps. It's just how modern software works. Thanks to snap and frivolous lawsuits.

If the turkey quake happened in LA. The death toll would be in the hundreds and not 10s of thousands due to all those building collapses.
Just think of Loma prieta quake and the north ridge quake. Nothing in terms of mass deaths.

Yes. That's Jefferson state. Too far to be considered San Francisco and more like Oregon.

Not in recent memory I think all the 8.0s were from pre 1920s. And some older quake magnitudes were estimated.

True. Pacific north west does have subduction fault. Juan de fuca plate is full of them. So I definitely would worry about the PNW. But it also has less population than California with Seattle and Vancouver being the largest cities that are no where near the size of LA.

Can't happen in California. California faults are not the subduction kind and can't create earth quakes stronger than 7.5. Plus California has the strongest building codes. Everything is rock solid.
People died in Turkey because of shoddy construction

How is it learning if no weights change? It's best simulating another training just for the session of input given at inference time.

So this is what Daenerys meant by "break the wheel" in Game of Thrones.

Reply to comment by Flares117 in TIL: Zhu Youcheng is the only emperor in Chinese history, to be married to one wife and remain faithful to her, having no concubines.
