Because theyre a domain registrar, its not the same process for them. They can essentially pay pennies on the dollar to hold them for several months-a year. I’m not sure if they get it back like a deposit, but it costs them almost nothing. You can complain to WIPO but you might have difficulty getting anywhere without suing and showing something trademark infringement (with a registered trademark)
There are things they do that are beyond that, like if you look up a domain on their website to see if its available and it is, theyll essentially register it for cheap and then hold onto it so you can only buy it from them at an upcharged price, and even if you go to another registrar thats cheaper, you cant register it because they already own it
Seems like he does get banned frequently by mods, given he has like 10 accounts created on a number of servers in the past few months
Maybe they saw this dude
I get at least one a day over text just saying “hello”
Have since started reporing as spam and blocking ever single one
I mean why would someone prostrate themselves to fit into stackoverflows toxic culture when they can ask an AI trained on those same answers for the same thing. I dont use AI though
Assuming 25% efficiency, 25% of the sunlight will be converted into electricity. However, once that energy gets used later, most of it will be converted into heat, one way or another. The main way that it will decrease heat being released into the atmosphere is by replacing less efficient methods of energy generation.
For example, it you normally heat a house with a 90% efficient gas burner to generate 900W of heat on average, you are burning enough gas to generate 1000W of heat on average throughout the day. Lets also say the house gets 4000W of heat across its roof on average throughout the day. Thats 5000W of heat being released into the atmosphere total.
Lets now say you convert to solar panels and now get 25% of that energy from the sun converted to electricity, then into heat in the house. Electric heating is essentially 100% efficient, so you get 3000W of sunlight converted directly to heat in the panels, 1000W of electricity which is also turned into heat in the house = 3900W of heat + 100W of extra electricity (turned into heat elsewhere). The 1000W of gas gets eliminated completely.
It probably wont be anywhere near the numbers listed here and batteries will play a huge role in averaging out these numbers due to varying generation and use throughout the day. Additionally this doesnt account for things like cars and othergas based systems which wont / cant be replaced economically, other technologies like radiative cooling paint, and the fact that global temperatures will likely continue to rise due to the continued release of co2 and other gases. It might slightly slow things down though
Converting electricity generation to renewable alone isnt enough to reverse global warming, it would also require converting systens which use gas and other fossil fuels to electric
Some discussion about ending homework and moving towards more in class pop quizzes and testing. Honestly I’ve never had a good experience with homework. After 8 hours of school plus travel I was not ready to do several more hours of work. I never did homework and it was the only place my grades suffered.
Ive had teachers who teach well and teachers who teach poorly. With the former, we started with the problem, figured out what didnt work, figured out what worked and why, and overall learned the process, reasoning, and application. With the latter, we got lectured, infodumped, quizzed, and textbook chapters to read to learn more before answering the homework.
Personally I think we need better coursework that can give more of the former and less homework. There’s a ton of focus on grading, testing and quizzing that kids dont actually have the time to learn why a solution works and instead memorize the how
Usually this can happen when you are owed money by an institution (bank, insurance, stocks, etc) and you either dont claim it, dont get the check, forget about it, or it happens outside of your knowledge (e.g. grandparents set up an account). In the US, you can usually check with your state’s Comptroller’s office. For example, NY has unclaimed funds under the office of the New York state comptroller
I’d reccomend going directly to the state .gov website and looking there or making sure you have the state website if following a link. They will let you search by name for unclaimed accounts, and then after choosing the one you want to claim, it will ask for ssn, dob and name, etc. If they can verify that information, you get a check in the mail. Ive gotten a few hundred from old insurance that probably settled some account after I’d switched.
