That's exactly one of the premises in this paper: Deforestation and world population sustainability: a quantitative analysis.

Some say, the easter island model doesn't scale worldwide but I don't see a reason why it wouldn't.

lower decks.

I dislike basically everything after Enterprise but this is... not too bad. I'd say it's maybe a bit like "Simpsons meets Star Trek". Definetly worth to check out a few episodes to see if you like it. If you like the jokes, you're in for a cool ride.

Rather if they get merged without edits.

I've seen even minor changes without flawed technique or style being discussed and changed for days before getting merged.

But it's also an excellent way to learn from pros. If the PR is worth it, they will spend the time for review and work with you until you fixed everything.

I used a modular parabolic one, about 1m diameter. Assembly took ~20 minutes (without electrical tools and lots of experience) and it didn't work well with even slight clouds. In glaring sunlight it worked fine, like a gas cooker.

I still like to see one that is cheap, user friendly and ultra efficient. I think some smart sliding system, foam/buffers to prevent damage and parts rubbing, or even high-end materials (mylar-like foil that makes the reflecting membrane).

Maybe check google scholar as there probably was quite some research on the topic.

i got the "anno domini" reference. it's funny.

i never made one but used one a few times. Their performance get drastically impacted if they just get a little out of shape/bent/dented.

Sounds like a fun project. Make sure to post pictures!

aus Gewohnheit unterschiedliche Erwartungen hatten.

Umso unsinniger das noch in der Gewöhnungsphase aufzuheben.

it's hard. It gets easier if you only need to operate in hot, desert-like weather conditions. Otherwise: Size is your friend.

You need to focus light on a small spot (where your pot is usually). Doing that optimally needs careful and precise manufacturing. Portability/deployability doesn't make it easier.

You can plug into RF expertise, tho as light is similar to radio and parabolic antennae are pretty well researched.

I'd do some math on the minimum size, get a nice parabolic antenna, coat it to mirror, polish, calibrate, done.

His transformation during the series is interesting. He's developing as he learns about humanity.

Also don't miss the episodes in Voyager featuring him ;-)

true. still, even popular sites don't provide decent CSS for printing but rather PDF download.

it's the site's fault. it's their responsibility to provide a print layout.

If they don't, the browser has to do best guesses and FF probably doesn't try to be very smart.

And it's not worth the effort either. Printing on paper is becoming rare.
