My 5 year old does this to me every time I say windmill. I love home for it, but it sucks being an old fart.

What a coincidence, I'm also 5!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago

I’m a windmill.

Is it pronounced 'wind' or 'wind'?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

Actually, it is pronounced 'wind'.

Technically 'wind' because you have to wind up the wind for the wind turbine to move.

Mills a lotta grain!

Since I got down vote, I looked it up. This must be the V236-15.0 MW. Color me surprised.

918.6 feet? I have doubts....I'd be surprised if it was over 300'. They are not very tall in Wisconsin.

It's an offshore wind turbine. They are way larger than onshore ones.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

The rotor diameter alone is 236 meters.
