Unironically good and useful graph. Platystemon posted:AMD’s processors sucked a lot more in 2014 so they had more room to improve? Well 86 is bigger than 64 so clearly it's better.

MrUnderbridge posted:And weren't the puritans pretty far from libertarian? Yeah if anything the puritans were pretty high on the authoritarian scale. Although there's also evidence that they didn't actually wear those belt-buckle hats so maybe it just means that people who dress up as puritans at renaissance fairs are centrist-libertarian.

MrUnderbridge posted:And weren't the puritans pretty far from libertarian? Popular myth holds that the Puritans who settled in New England were motivated by a desire for personal religious freedom and liberty. A shockingly large number of people still take this at a literal truth, rather than the rosy apocrypha it actually is. poo poo, people in the US still struggle with the idea that Columbus was anything less than a kickin' rad dude who discovered all the things and paved they way for our great nation!

M kWh, seriously? Have these people heard of MWh or GWh? That graph is all sorts of dumb, but that is really irksome. Outrail posted:How do you generate negative energy? Or is that from a norm? It's showing the monthly deviation from the monthly average calculated over a year.

Because it *doesn't* cancel it out? It's not Watt per hour (W/h) but Watt hours (Wh) which is a different metric. W/h measures change in power over time. Wh is energy as the product of time and the power consumed for work. It can be converted directly to Joules (1 W = 1 J/s; 1kWh = 3.6 MJ) Proteus Jones has a new favorite as of 04:32 on Jun 28, 2016 |

Wh is energy as the product of time and the power consumed for work. It can be converted directly to Joules (1 W = 1 J/s; 1kWh = 3.6 MJ) watt = joule∕second hour = 3600 seconds W × hr = J∕s × 3600 s = 3600 J That’s what I mean by the time units cancelling. Yes, you have to express one hour in terms of seconds to do the algebra. It’s like if said I travelled 450 mph‐seconds. Why not just say I travelled 660 feet (= 1 furlong = 10 chains)? My speedometer reads in mph and my watch reads in seconds, so it’s convenient (which is why watt‐hours exist), but it’s still silly to state it like that. Now for the next mystery, why do metric tonnes exist when “megagram” is the same quantity under a better name? But I tire of this discussion, and if that’s true for me it’s trebly true for everyone else, so here’s an awful graph:  source Technically competent, but in the service of a terrible premise.

I'm remembering a scifi book I read when I was little, where the currency was kilowatt-hours, pronounced "kwahers". They also used BTUs as a smaller currency, but unfortunately I'm pretty sure that wasn't pronounced "butts".
