Cort,

Kindly do the needful

Cort,

Yeah just need 10Mw+ of solar and like 40mwh of batteries to power it 24/7

Cort,

Building a cannon to shoot for the moon

Cort,

I would assume both. They transfer basically all the heat generated into the water and only heat when water is being used.

Cort,

I think that sounds more like a feudal fiefdom than communism

Cort,

I didn’t see this was the onion sub and my first thought wasn’t there’s no way she said that. It was huh, and her base is letting her get away with it?

Cort,

Yeah from what I’ve seen of Jeff geerling’s testing it can use all of a 2.5g and about 3.5 of a 5gbit adapter

Germany just now approved new laws that make setting up solar on your balcony super easy (www.tagesschau.de)

Just 10 years ago, landlords could ban you from putting solar cells on your balcony because it makes their building look “messy”. Now Germany is really pushing forward to let everybody put solar modules on their balcony with these new laws. How is legalization of balcony solar cells in your country? Is setting up solar...

Cort,

Translated by Google:

In the future, private individuals will be able to operate mini solar systems as balcony power plants without complicated registration

This is the coolest part. As I understand it you’ll be able to export 500w to the grid without requiring approval of your provider. The new units just plug into the wall and back feed power into your house to reduce your bill.

Depending on how the law is written, I can imagine people putting a battery between the solar and inverter so they could capture more energy and export the maximum 500w all day & night

Cort,

Well let’s do some back of the envelope math.

Conservative estimate: 6m^2 about 6000w of sunlight x 20% panel efficiency x 4hrs/day = 4800wh or 9.5 hrs at max 500w inverter output.

Liberal estimate: 6m^2 about 7200w of sunlight x 25% panel efficiency x 5hrs/day = 9000wh or 18 hrs at max 500w inverter output.

I think this would be worth it for an apartment dweller who doesn’t have access to the roof or a whole field. And producing the power when and where it’s used reduces transmission costs.

Cort,

I’ve never understood why this isn’t the responsibility of the utility to prevent back feeding at the meter when the grid is down.

Cort,

I think I was more advocating for automatic switching at the meters when grid power isn’t sensed at the meter. The same type of sensing that goes into larger solar inverters to prevent back feeding during power outages today. 20-40+ years ago your argument about having to go home to home manually shutting off connections would have made sense, but these days technology is advanced far enough that it can be done automatically without human intervention, as soon as the grid goes down. Then brought back up when grid power returns.

Cort,

Trump’s team is trying to paint the picture that all of this was standard operating procedure.

Trump lawyers: totally cool, totally legal, and certainly not an unreported in-kind donation to his political campaign.

Cort,

160x120 if anyone didn’t feel like clicking.

iirc you can get that resolution or better from a USBC thermal camera dongle

Cort,

Lol it’s a minivan with the freedom to let your kids ding the doors of whoever is parked next to you

Cort,

And less E.coli than holy water too

Cort,

How about Borked?

Cort,

Genuine question from someone with Nova launcher since like Android 6: do these alternatives have all the same features?

Cort,

Thanks for the recommendation. I’ll have to check it out after work

Cort,

Just adding on here that Jay was a pejorative meaning hick or hillbilly

Cort,

What we need is normal roads with barriers blocking off cars from entering.

Bikes are cars.

So pedestrians only on these roads? Like a sidewalk?

Or are you saying bikes should be treated JUST like cars, except better, with routes that exclude cars?

It sounds like what you want is separated, protected, raised bicycle lanes.

And I’m no fan of rising on the sidewalks, but cycling is literally one of the uses for a mixed use trail.

'Vortex Cannon vs Drone' - Mark Rober shows off tech from a "defense technology company that specializes in advanced autonomous systems". That seems bad

I’ve enjoyed Mark Rober’s videos for a while now. They are fun, touch on accessible topics, and have decent production value. But this recent video isn’t sitting right with me...

Cort,

I think fear is fairly subjective, and to me these are scarier than bombs and guns. Bombs have a blast radius and bullets don’t stop after they hit their target, which means collateral damage has to be considered before using these. If you don’t have to worry about that because you’re going to just drop an anvil on someone’s head it would make it that much easier to order someone’s death.

Like yeah you’re probably not going to see any mass killings with these drones, but it certainly makes individual targeted killings easier.

Cort,

Just don’t practice on Rudy Giuliani

Cort,

So close. I too feel Bart’s pain.
