As for solar panels I think the word you're looking for is "albedo"
Off the top of my head I think it's close to earth's natural albedo anyway. Or even if it is a lower number and more energy/heat is absorbed it's so negligible. Only the tiniest fraction of the earth's surface would be/are covered in panels
Well you're correct but some brands actually QC (quality control) their products and others do not. This filters out a lot of issues, just having a real human look everything over
Just off the top of my head I know Apple recently changed a manufacturing facility and they were NOT happy with the quality produced. 50% straight into garbage https://9to5mac.com/2023/02/14/iphone-casings-produced-in-india/
We need a special SU-57 column at this point
In January 2018, Lochridge sent Rush a quality-control inspection report detailing 27 issues with the vehicle, from questionable O-ring seals on the domes and missing bolts to flammable materials and more concerns about its carbon-fiber hull. Rush fired him the next day. (Although Lochridge later made a whistleblower report to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration about Titan, Rush sued him for breach of contract. The settlement of that lawsuit resulted in Lochridge dropping his complaint, paying OceanGate nearly $10,000, and signing an NDA. Lochridge did not respond to WIRED.)
Ugh
I really like "tater tot casserole"
Title is probably surprisingly accurate
A lawsuit before the Maryland Supreme Court seeks to stop the sale of a parking lot in Bethesda that currently covers the remains of a historically Black cemetery to developers.
"All these graves, all these souls, they were somebody one time,” Gagnard told the Alexandria Town Talk — a part of the USA TODAY Network. “And they still matter. So we just do our part."
Goddamn. Turned it into a parking lot..... some people suck
Good! Shitty names based in racist origins anyway
