Trying to avoid being political but some people here make it really difficult. They make being respectful even harder. Maybe their posts will be flagged accordingly. They won't learn but maybe they'll be silent a while.

It's a herculean effort. And don't hold your breath.

Are there any European countries where solar and wind make up a large percentage of their electric?

Yes — several European countries generate a large share of their electricity from solar and wind, often among the highest in the world. Below are the standout examples, with rough, order-of-magnitude shares (they fluctuate year to year based on weather).

Denmark — the global leader
Wind: ~55–60% of electricity
Solar: ~5–7%
Combined: ~60–65%


Portugal — wind + solar + hydro
Wind: ~25–30%
Solar: ~10–15% (rapidly growing)
Combined: ~35–45%

Spain — strong and balanced
Wind: ~23–27%
Solar: ~12–15%
Combined: ~35–40%

Germany — huge scale, lower percentage
Wind: ~30%
Solar: ~12%
Combined: ~40–45%

Many more.


Please try to get your news for legit sources.  Not media that rely on big oil. 

Stand out examples, AKA best case scenarios. And "dependent on weather".

Thanks for proving the point.

“Cro-Magnon” doesn’t mean a separate species — it refers to the earliest European Homo sapiens (around 40k–10k years ago)."


How did they get the age of these species if they date carbon. How can cell tissue in dinosaur fossils still be found dated millions of years old. Determining rocks, how do you know how much chemical decay occurred unless you know how much it started with, and conditions under which it remained. Two sides of the same coin perhaps.

I have a ton of extra 8GB sticks of DDR4 but it is 2400 and 2666 speed, so a bit slower but likely fine for an AH use case.

Many thanks, my friend.  I will keep that in mind, as it would likely be fine.  I'm hoping I'll have one system to build prior to March scenario if I can succeed in my pressure recruiting tactics.

If you are talking about last nights map,  the ack is always stronger on a couple of maps.  Had to say if the ack is more accurate or more powerful.  Again only a couple of maps have higher performing auto ack.

Would be nice to verify if this is true, as with arena settings, if it's there. It eliminates reckless assumptions.
Since I deack A LOT, I've noticed something different, but not sure if it's my imagination, they seem more accurate by a notch.

I don't know, but it seems that would be a global setting in the MA

IF it is so, I'm not big on there being differences between maps, nor on building foundations to stop hiding in buildings not fixed in all maps. There should be consistency IMO.

Not happy about 2 maps waiting for approval for months now.
