A large explosion every second has units of power, not energy. So to me this is suggesting that the train is putting out power equal to its kinetic energy per second. That's certainly not the case --- it implies that the train is powerful enough to accelerate to the speed in 1s, which is definitely not true.
I don't think your units make sense --- kinetic energy has units of energy, but "kg TNT per second" is power (about 4MW). (I think just remove the "every second" and it's correct?)
Also note that many graduate programs are free* --- if you don't count lost wages or the cost of the prerequisite undergrad degree.
But it all depends on what you want, with a fair amount of luck thrown in IMHO. You can have a lousy job with or without a degree, and you can have a great career with or without one.
Overall, the median lifetime earnings for all workers are $1.7 million, which is just under $42,000 per year ($20 per hour). Over a 40-year career, those who didn't earn a high school diploma or GED are expected to bring in less than $1 million, which translates into slightly more than $24,000 a year ($11.70 per hour).
Previously I just had my favorite starting word, but I thought it got a little boring. This can be a fun challenge. That said, I skip days now and then so I'm not worried about keeping a streak going :)
Exactly --- this is ~10GB every 6 hours (which is probably a reasonable amount of time to run a backup while not interfering with active Internet use).
Basically the only backup-worthy content I generate is casual photos and videos, and these are nowhere near that size (Immich database backups also take up a bit but I could certainly be smarter about how I handle these backups).
We "only" have ~35Mbps upload, but that's plenty since the initial backup was the only large transfer. Daily backup transfers are generally pretty small for me.
But getting the initial transfer done locally was definitely important for my use case!
Yeah. My solution is raspberry pi w/WireGuard + HDD at inlaws. Initial backup was done locally, nightly backups rsync'd over (I don't generate a ton of data, so it's mostly just photos from my phone).
For very simple tasks you can usually blindly log in and run commands. I've done this with very simple tasks, e.g., rebooting or bringing up a network interface. It's maybe not the smartest, but basically, just type root, the root password, and dhclient eth0 or whatever magic you need. No display required, unless you make a typo...
In your specific case, you could have a shell script that stops VMs and disables passthrough, so you just log in and invoke that script. Bonus points if you create a dedicated user with that script set as their shell (or just put in the appropriate dot rc file).
Many time zones: You get to a new place and look up what time zone you're in.
Well, sorta --- but it's no effort at all because my timekeeping device (phone) does this automatically.
For me, the time of day is internalized in a way that I think is hard to switch. Same as how I was raised with imperial units --- even though I prefer (and use professionally) metric, the intuition can be a little harder to get. But to each their own of course :)
I prefer the current way --- I can be in another state or another country and I know that 7am is a good time for breakfast, around noon is a good time for lunch, and so forth. (If you don't change latitude sure, just go outside to figure this out, but it's complicated if it's overcast, or the latitude isn't what you're used to, or...)
Time has a number of meanings --- UTC is great for machines, local time is (IMHO) a good concept for humans.
Aviation is also mentioned, which (to me) is a bigger deal here. The only viable alternative to burning jet fuel is to get from A to B much, much more slowly. Which is great and something we should be doing! But realistically...not gonna happen anytime soon.
Hmmm, I'm not sure I understand...

But that's just my interpretation.
