Even if you were to recharge an aquifer this way you still run into the treatment issue. The majority of groundwater sources are not treated and if you pump surface water into them they’re now contaminated

It would actually do better on the prior I expect; it’s a language model so it’s designed and trained to operate based on what the expected human language output would be rather than crunching numbers. Look at the AP Chem and Calc performance

It’s intercity bus transit so my expectation would be some of the infection risk but more likely that people had more spending money and could use other means of travel.

It’s literally “largest source of energy in every state.” It shows exactly what it is claiming to depict. You’re wanting it to show something different than what it does depict. You’re dense as hell.

That wasn’t the point of the map though. That’s a totally different measure if you’re comparing fossil fuels to renewables. This was by generation source. None of this is misleading, you’re just wanting to look at something completely different.

That’s not misleading; top source is largest share, majority would be >50%.

Reply to comment by BIH-Marathoner in Ukraine wants to stop its athletes from facing Russians by PrincessBananas85
In most cases professional athletes are training at training centers across the world rather than their home anyways so I’m not sure it’s that different than it was before the war. Olympic level semi-pro and amateur probably in a different position though
