@ifandbut: Arnold Schwarzenegger.

@blyan-reloaded: Exactly. Why do I care about "changing" the past? All I'm doing is creating yet another timeline. My reality keeps going along on its shitty way.

@sid9221: Short term memory. We haz it.

@mruler360: 'One small shit for man...'

Better question is, when do you "clean up"? Once you're in orbit, I guess. But the thought of sitting there, stewing in your own butt mush for a couple hours, is enough to make me not want to be an astronaut.

The Village Watchman sounds like he should be trying to inflict+2 damage on the guy.

Ooops, I missed the fighter and blew up the Chrysler Building. My bad.

@septiums: Apple really, really likes to release major OS and iOS upgrades on Fridays.

@kityglitr: I think they're positioning the really cute red-headed Lucian Alliance tech woman for that purpose.

No on 23. That is all.

But...but...

@Paul Chabot: Shut down can be done in less than five minutes. Brake and lock the blades from spinning, then lock the nacelle from rotating.

@yantelope: Short maintenance every six months or so for gear oil changes, etc. take less than a day per turbine. When conventional power plants go offline for maintenance, it's typically far less frequent, but much longer in duration.

@RushinRussian: Jay Pharoah does an awesome Eddie Murphy, and Denzel Washington.

@chauncy that billups: That depends on the number of turbines in a wind project. On a megawatt to megawatt basis, the costs are pretty much the same. And the benefit of the wind project is you can take one turbine off line at a time for maintenance, and the rest still generate energy. Not the same with conventional

@Paul Chabot: Standard Operations and Maintenance is to lock down the turbine from rotating, and break the blades before entering the nacelle. No one I know even climbs a tower when the WTG is fully operational.

@yantelope: Actually maintenance is less than a typical combined-cycle gas turbine generator.
