Very crude diagram of an electric boiler with three steps: 1 thing hot, 2 steam make spinny from hot, 3 magnet make power from spinny. Next to this is a very crude diagram of thermoelectric generator labelled magic semiconductor. Its steps are: 1 thing, 2 silicon make power from hot. There's a big arrow to the second diagram that say "Less steps = more efficient??"

I mean it does seem kinda weird that running a heat engine to run a generator is more efficient than using a thermoelectric generator with no mechanical inbetween step.

Why don't they just let the steam rise on its own? Are they stupid?

Unlike the cowards who hide their stupid names with latin, computer scientists will straight up call something a 'fat pointer'.

Actual graph used to inform government decisions

Scatter plot correlating parked vehicles at supermarkets with the store's number of employees. There's only two data points and the trend line is drawn in the exact opposite direction of what they show (line says the store with more employees had more cars, the data shows otherwise).

At least they have an anus. Anemones just have to vomit out their waste

I think 'several' just means that the people counted weren't all killed in the same accident. No WorkSafe in those days so those accidents were probably shit like roofers falling off chapels and apprentice tanners mishandling chemicals.
