Looks like the same fittings/valves as Primus gas cylinders for camping.

Random link to some camping site for comparison

Oh no! A warning notice! Is that stronger or weaker than a sternly-worded letter?

In litres and MJ because SI units make it easy:

Approximately 34 megajoules per litre for petrol/gasoline.

50 litres filling up in 4 minutes = 1.25 litres/second pumping rate. lol don’t do calculations before coffee, let’s just say you’ve got a hi-flow pump doing 1l/sec.

1 litre/second x 34MJ per litre = 34 MJ/second.

1 watt = 1 joule per second, so:

An average fill up runs at about 34 megawatts.

I suddenly feel rather old. 😑🙁

I flew out this morning for work and I was wondering what that brown haze was over the city.

I’d not recommend it to anyone who can’t tell the difference between “wifi” and “internet”.

You won’t get far with that kind of thing in Australia. We have no land borders with other countries so the “natural” blending of currencies with nearby countries at border cities doesn’t happen. Nobody has a good idea of what a euro or US dollar looks like, and you’ll likely just get told to go get it exchanged for AUD.

You still get all the same free stuff.
They’re charging for some new additional features.

This is standard enshittification.

1. Introduce a new premium tier, with “cool shit”, whatever that might be. Free tier still allows you to do all the stuff you did before.

2. Wait a period of time, about 6 to 12 months usually, to get the users used to the fact that the free tier is still the same as usual. Tinker with the premium tier a little to make it sound like awesome shit is happening there and everyone should get on it.

3. Degrade the free tier, usually by adding “sponsored content” i.e. ads, or dropping features so that genuinely useful stuff only becomes available in premium tier. Pitch this as “maintaining quality for our increasing user base” or some bullshit.

4. Ratchet up pricing for the premium tier, reduce/enshittify features in the free tier.

5. Repeat from step 3 until your userbase migrates to the Next Hot Thing and your product sinks into irrelevancy.

There is no need to mindlessly update this application, it’s been stable and full of enough actual features for some time now.

Get the 8.1.6 apk from uptodown.com. it’s the last update before enshittification occurred.

And then find the app in your installed app list in Google Play and untick “install updates automatically” in the three dot menu.

Now there’s something you don’t see every day

need to run every inch in conduit is goofy.

It’s to limit the risk of mechanical damage. As an auto electrician, no way would I accept runs of unprotected battery cables (that is, only with their PVC insulation) in a fixed install. Too much shit can go wrong over the 10 year lifespan of these setups.

On a big battery system you need 150+ amps of fault current before the DC breakers even think about tripping. At 48 volts that’s burn-your-garage-down territory if you get a nail or a shovel edge or a rat nibble across your cables that “only” pulls a hundred amps.

That’s 125 gigawatts, for those that use units correctly.

It’s not a sign of AI, but when every second post manages to slip the “not x, not y, just z” phrase into their wording, you get pretty over it, pretty quickly.

Ditto for posts that worm in the phrase “just physics”. No, it’s not “just physics”. Physics is complicated, and I wish AI slop would stop handwaving away a decent explanation with that phrase.

I grew up in a mining town where there were just 5 or 6 different core designs for three and four bedroom houses, and a street was made up of those designs with minor variations like rotating it 90 degrees on the lot or mirroring the design.

If you weren’t looking for it, that lack of variety was completely unnoticeable as you drove down the street.

Title case capitalization.

Perhaps they’re talking about junction temperatures, but even then specialist components can only do 175 degrees C briefly.

Pretty much like that everywhere at the moment mate.

~2.25 for unleaded and ~3.20 for diesel in Brisbane.

hisses though teeth

“That’s good, buddy, good for you!”

Why

Monoculture isn’t great.

Having and maintaining other options is good for if/when things go bad.

Yes, the problem with all new material is it is not offensive enough. You got it.

No, the problem is that they - as in , three camera sitcoms - are not willing to explore boundaries. Good comedy explores boundaries and that space where the brain goes “oh no they did not just say that” is often where the best stuff is.

IF they manage to pull it off correctly. If they don’t, all the actors get booed and their show gets cancelled, so of course they’re going to go for bland over edgy.
