@PythonMaps That the highest point is at sea level...looks suspicious. But the tides and waves at the ocean's edge are great levelers

@PythonMaps Interesting just a small change in the current sea level would result in the largest changes. Reminds me of the pareto principle.

@PythonMaps Cool map, but this chart should be in units of ft not m :)
English

@PythonMaps So I really find interesti g thst there are two groups that dominate on is the ocean floor and the other one are continental crust. Notice, the last one is around zero, so just a bit of more water and most of continents would be under water. Funny coincidence
English

@PythonMaps Interesting. The bimodal distribution can be explained by there being two types of crust (oceanic and continental) with different densities that thus float at different heights on the denser mantle assthenosphere.
English

@PythonMaps Very cool! Crazy that it’s a bimodal or even a trimodal distribution!
English

@PythonMaps This is a really interesting chart, but it looks like you've graphed the highest elevations as white on white. As a result the Himalayas etc are invisible on the elevation chart. Try a black background?
English

@PythonMaps That big highland in the southern part of Africa is likely where modern Homo sapiens originated. Curious.
English

@PythonMaps What projection? If not equal area, must account for that change in pixel area
English

@PythonMaps Definitely underwater aliens looking at this bimodal distribution
English

@PythonMaps It’s always wild to see how rugged western North America is.
English

@PythonMaps Very interesting.
Has anyone made one for the planet in Subnautica?
English

@PythonMaps Yes, we have two types of terrain - continental granite floating (literally) on top of denser basalt.
English

@PythonMaps this is a bimodal distribution so there are external factors at play
English

@PythonMaps Not so round anymore. Would it stay that way if all water evaporated?

Begich Introduces Companion Bill to Meet Data Center Energy Demands Without Raising Americans’ Utility Bills
By Natalie Spaulding
This morning, April 21, 2026, U.S. Representative Nick Begich (R-Alaska), along with Congressman Dan Crenshaw (R-Texas) and Burgess Owens (R-Utah), introduced the House companion bill to the DATA Act of 2026, which seeks to expand energy production without raising costs for Americans.
The Decentralized Access to Technology Alternatives (DATA) Act of 2026 was first introduced by Senator Tom Cotton (R-Arkansas). The bill creates a new category of electric utility: the consumer-regulated electric utility (CREU). CRUEs are off-grid electric systems that are “physically isolated from all regulated utilities, the bulk power system, and the Bulk Electric System.” The Act exempts these off-grid systems from federal regulations under the Federal Power Act, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, the Department of Energy, and the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 2005.
