As long as there is no selective pressure, they won't.

Adaption/Evolution works by weeding out the unfit and only let the surviving breed.

As Mars has no means to kill unfit settlers, there are no "fit" settlers and hence no adaption.

At least that is how Darwin puts it.

Would settlers there be taller and more fragile? Depends how the genes are expressed, what food they have, how hard they work, but not really on how they "adapt".

Yeah, but the reason is simple: the believe they can fly a molten salt (insert current favorite imagined nuclear energy source of the day) weighting a million of tons by launching it from earth into any orbit they want, just because it is nuclear! Or even land it on another planet.

Nevertheless the time difference between killing all life on Venus and later Earth and later Mars is just a few 100,000 years if not a few centuries at max.

Erm ???

It must be very very large so it can "float" in the high pressure atmosphere of Venus like a ship floats on the seas of Earth.

That was actually a no brainer :-/

Neither is Venus the closet planet nor is the sun expanding in the near future ...

Also: the time difference between Merkur (first planet!), Venus, Earth and Mars eaten by the red giant our sun will become at some point in time is: insignificant.

It s mere minutes ...

Ah, then still the question is up: did the owner use the domain? Seems the summary was misleading, I had the impression the owner only had the domain to sell it later.

If she is still into IT, then either planning/management stuff might be interesting (BA=Business Analyst), or probably operating, second or third level support might be interesting.

I once worked for a bank in operations, very well payed, but boring as I had not much to do. That was 90% Calypso related (a trading software) and SQL on Sybase and a little bit of Solaris/Unix work.

Bottom line I was there 8h a day and worked like 1h - 2h per day, you could read books or surf the internet.

Actually a sign of a smooth running data center that the people working there spend more time reading than "working".

Last time I checked, Spain was in Europe.

Maternal leave is regulated by law.

Why the *fuck* - excuse my language - should she take less maternal leave than either is *offered* by the law or even *demanded* by the law?

Grow up, and understand that not all countries have a political "we don't care' attitude about families.

In Germany we have on top of forced maternal leave/vacation (demanded by law) an optional 12 month vacation for one parent, or of both take it, in total 14 months.

Everyone who takes that and does not take all 14 is basically dumb.

You have never been in a european country, have you?

Not "except" :D
Yes they are, and in a SmartGrid they would be used for balancing the grid.

"and smart grids normally involve storage" nope, the focus right now is on activating ideling devices, like washing machines, or fridges. And the biggest game player right now is cooling houses.

This are all things that can absorb surplus power but don't give power back later.

That might work if you build a new carrier.
But it does not work if you buy a new plane for an existing carrier.

The catapult is not the problem.
The landing is.

British carriers are rather small, there is no space to have rope assisted landing like on a big carrier.

Enders Game?

Grand Ma and Grand Pa likely don't live on a military base, nor does the kids that go to College.

Actually, peak solar precedes peak demand by about 2-4 hours.
Where do you live that that is the case? Peak supply is at local noon (perhaps an issue with your timezone? That local noon is 2hours before timezone 12:00?)

Speaking of which, you know what blows your whole argument out of the water? Pumped storage, which already exists around the world for evening power production, long predating renewables.
Actually it does not blow my argument out of the water. As you meanwhile wrote more or less what I wrote. Until you have so much wind and solar that your fossile plants idle, you have no use for storage.

Pumped storage is classically for balancing energy and the so called "primary reserve". Of course it can be used to store surplus solar/wind power. But that brings us back to square one: there is no nation in the world that right now has so much surplus that there is a "storage problem".

I get what you're saying. I don't see it as 'simple', I see it as 'incorrect'. I'm not sure where the breakage in your understanding is.

Neither see I yours. Why don't you make a practical example with fake numbers and show me a single hour of a day where you had surplus from wind/solar, can not power down the fossile plants, so you NEED to store it, and give me another hour of the day and explain me why at that hour you can use the stored energy. As long as your renewables produce less than "base load" you never have such a hour often enough that storage makes sense.

The goal is to EXACTLY match supply and demand. So what you can do is that when power demand is at 60% of peak(for example), you turn down the various spinning generators. But, assuming you have 'extensive' penetration by green power, and I'm talking 'eliminate all fossil fuel usage, especially coal' here, you might not have enough generators to turn down, or it might be cheaper to keep them spinning, etc... So you store the power to use later.
Yes, and exactly that your existing pumped storages do just fine, see Germany. The only thing you might need to change is the rate at which pumped storages can store or release power.

So, for example, your systems are producing 100% power during the hours of 10am to 2 pm. Demand is only 80% of peak, so you end up storing 20MWh.
Exactly! What I say since days!
So: when does such a situation arise? Obviously it can't arise when the total non dispatch able input is only 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% or 50% or even 75% of peak! So until your wind and solar plants are not even able to reach the 80% that you put on the table above: no storage needed! I'm talking about NEEDED. Not about usefulness if other conditions are taken into account (like spinning generators _not_ down because it is cheaper to store the surplus and keep the generators up) however, let me state it again: there is no storage problem that desperately seeks a solution.

With EVs and Smart Grids the potential of storage goes even further down.

In other words, all thinkable problems regarding modern power production can and should first be tackled via SmartGrids, then comes long nothing, and then potentially come storages.
