      This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Reminds me of Fox News saying solar would never work in Germany because they don't have enough sunlight.

It seems I overestimated the sun in Japan, and it is much rougher elsewhere, closer to the equator.
You inspired me to look up a UV index world map!
