I’m surprised that’s still around. Is the average age still 14 on these networks?

Crazy. North Korea throwing poop. China going on an axe rampage. Which asylum will take those two please?

We should call it by what it really is: a power grab by the ruling class, upsetting the checks and balances that were achieved through decades and decades of struggle.

What are the prices for private solar plants? For Germany’s electricity prices and current retail prices, PV and battery will pay for itself after around 6-8 years.

What’s the consumer price for electricity in Spain?

Nope. It’s consequential. They need to raise their shareholder value in any way that’s legal, even if it’s not morally right. If they won’t do that, they’d get into trouble. For corporations tax loopholes are there to be exploited.

Making those loopholes illegal is what will fix this. Then you can call it good craftsmanship by politicians. Right now you can barley call it shoddy.

Took them an oil crisis (70s) to figure this out to be fair.

It’s difficult to extinct us. If will take a thousand years of volcanoes, bad harvests, pandemics without vaccines, etc.

We’re just so many now.

What’s a lot faster is to wipe away the achievements of civilization, pushing us back into a state where starvation, disease and suffering are the norm and not the exception.

Try OrganicMaps. It’s the best OpenStreetMaps backed app I’ve ever used, and I’ve tried almost all of them for 10 years now.

And there are way more square centimeters than there are square inches in the EU!

Given this reaction, he seems to be doing something which is working.

What people do for media attention…

Physical shutoff via relays is required by the standard. We’ve just been through a scandal where a manufacturer skimped out on putting them in and had to recall the devices.

Yes, because the frequency of the grid is also a trigger for shutting off the inverter. Inverters generate a frequency which indicates a “non healthy grid” that trigger the shutoff of connected inverters.

This is this, and that is that.

At this stage it’s all hot air. Nobody has even started talking about how to finance it and the defense minister isn’t even 100% sure he will get his requested additional funds for the next cycle. When somebody asked him about the topic he replied that he isn’t categorically against it but he would have to finance (and restructure, as the necessary infrastructure for it has been degraded/scrapped) more important topics first.

They are really well designed too. They lock into place when flipped 180 degrees (drinking mode) and don’t interfere at all while drinking.

You’re right. It was the eighth movie. My bad. I didn’t even remember Nemesis. It kinda is the Star Trek V but for TNG.

So, is it basically something like overpaneling in PV systems, where the total amount of energy which could theoretic be harvested through the panels (surface area times efficiency) is higher than the maximum possible energy throughout of the inverter? This leads to a steady energy throughout which is capped by the inverter, providing a “buffer” for shaded conditions, morning, evening, etc.

Star Trek 10 - First Contact is also pretty solid.
