Maybe they would issue me a pity coat of arms after seeing that.

200k karma seems like a pretty decent contribution. Or do you need like 1 million?

Do nudes count?

Absolutely. I thought that was obvious by the word "convinced". But there is also no evidence to the contrary.

I'm thoroughly convinced the Chinese use the TikTok algorithm to amplify stuff like this in the USA:

And there is no way they let them do that in China.

It's like 2x more, not 10x, right? Or am I doing the exchanges and stuff wrong?

Is bread subsidized? Surprised it's cheaper than flour. The cheapest loaf of sliced bread at my grocery store in the US is around 500g and costs more than a 2.2kg bag of white flour (and just a bit less than a bag of whole wheat flour).

Yes, you are right about the pallet wraps.

Costco still sells PVC food cling wrap.

Not for the stuff that wraps pallets. I also think not yet in food service, but not sure if that is ongoing or not.

They're not. Solar wafers are pretty different from wafers for IC / transistor fab. They are much thinner, rectangular so they can pack well, and are generally sold rough cut rather than polished.

Source? I've never heard of solar using 300mm wafers. I think the largest is M6

Here is an article with technical details if anyone is interested.

Seems like it uses more or less the same technology as the previous record set in 2017 (amorphous silicon heterojunction, originally called HIT by Sanyo). But it's a bit noteworthy because everyone struggled to approach Sanyo/Panasonic's efficiency for many years.

Probably a full wafer. There are a few different standard sizes nowadays, but all of them are around 6-8 inch squares or rectangles.

Have you had mass save come through to look at your energy efficiency? Those bills sound high. More than I pay for 3 people in about 2k sq ft.
