7000 / 4 = 1750. So one turbine can power 1750 homes. Currently, there are approximately 2.5 million homes in Scotland. 2.5 million / 1750 ~= 1428. You'd need more than 1400 of these to power every home in the country. The plan is to build 130. What can we conclude from this?

Comment Add Garmin to the list (Score 1) 71

If you mistakenly delete a file off of a Garmin GPS unit when it's in USB mode, there's no mechanism to restore it properly. Simply copying it over from an identical unit doesn't entirely work. You get an error message even though the unit still works. The only recourse is to send it to Garmin to the tune of $200.

Customer service is rarely domestically located. It always seems to be staffed by people who are culturally accustomed to pretending that they don't understand you so you'll go away in frustration. Furthermore, the phone systems waste time telling you that FAQs can be found on their website. Well, smack my ass and call me Judy, I would NEVER have thought to look on their fucking website! And, no, I don't want a callback because that just means YOU get to decide when it's convenient for YOU to not answer my questions.

Law is the only industry that has managed to legalize its own racketeering. AI will definitely steal their stolen lunch money.
