Careful using the word efficiency there, as it has a different meaning when talking about solar panels - it indicates how much energy the panel can extract from the light hitting it. The best modern panels you can buy are below 25% efficient, and since these are from the 90s they were probably about half that when new.

They do, it's pretty hard to get normal water to superheat, so OP's use of the phrase "tends to" is definitely misplaced. IIRC the MythBusters did a segment on that and they used distilled water. I think also re-boiling water might increase the odds of it happening, but I'm not sure.

For me the year of the Linux desktop was 2014 - it's when I changed my desktop to Linux after using it on my laptop for a year. All the hardware on that machine has been replaced, but it's still running the same install from back then.

Well I believe if someone is benefiting from a common good, they should contribute to that good, but maybe I'm not Laissez-faire enough for this world, or "leftymemes".

As an outsider it's really annoying when someone just doesn't understand the reality they find themselves in.

A third party isn't in the cards, it never is, but it especially isn't right now. The only way to get a third party elected is to change your voting system, but that's a process that takes years, decades even. It's really not as easy as wasting a vote with a third party, it takes a lot more effort. And the only way to start or continue that process right now is to vote Biden because if Trump wins you might not even get another election to vote in.

And Trump has a good chance of winning because the republicans aren't having such discussions. They know what to do, and come election day they'll all march in and do their job, like they do every time. Remember that he only won last time because people like you felt icky about voting for Clinton.

If you allow me a moment of catharsis, I'll just add that if you Americans once again subject the world to more Trump insanity, I really hope you get to feel the worst of it.

The message that we approve of the removal of the headphone jack done in order to peddle wireless headphones...

I believe this is about air pollution, as in the dirty kind, not co2.

All public companies are, it's just what Boeing makes things that fall out of the sky if they mess up, so it's more obvious.

Just have NAS A send a rocket with the data to NAS B.
