Jakabite posted:One thing I’m struggling to understand is that these blackouts, rolling or otherwise, are being talked about in terms of very short spells of a week or so (not short I know but bear with me), but surely if we have a situation where (energy received)-(energy used) < 0 then the blackouts last that long and no shorter. Is this predicated on a particularly cold period raising demand? A short term supply disruption as Europe/UK scrambles to borrow/print money to buy from a source other than Russia? Or a combination? As I understand it, there might come situations this winter where demand exceeds generation, if that happens it will cause the frequency to drop from the ideal of 50hz, and if it drops too much it'll cause damage to electrical equipment. To prevent that they instead have to do blackouts to keep the frequency from dropping. Seems to me if that happens people would scramble to find more generation and hopefully neighboring countries would provide aid. It seems strange to me that they'd keep a constant blackout for up to a week at a time. I would imagine they would instead cut power to a certain area for a few hours, before moving onto the next (rolling the blackout so to speak) so that everyone has some power most of the time, even if the rolling blackout might be going on for some time, so you'd spend an hour or several hours every day without power for a week.

Warm them up first. (Before eating them if you have brittle teeth or before sending them to FI, either/or)His Divine Shadow posted:Seems to me if that happens people would scramble to find more generation and hopefully neighboring countries would provide aid. quote:Last week, unbeknown to many outside the power industry, parts of London came remarkably close to a blackout — even as it was recovering from the hottest day in British history. On July 20, surging electricity demand collided with a bottleneck in the grid, leaving the eastern part of the British capital briefly short of power. Only by paying a record high £9,724.54 (about $11,685) per megawatt hour — more than 5,000% higher than the typical price — did the UK avoid homes and businesses going dark. That was the nosebleed cost to persuade Belgium to crank up aging electricity plants to send energy across the English Channel. Convex posted:If God exists then He also created coconut crabs, ergo knows exactly what He's doing. Some things are just not meant for us, like those floats they always have piled up next to the swimming pool And if coconuts exist and are a fruit and are not for us then that just makes them the fruit of occult liberation from the tyranny of the natural order.

Is the Shrek thing still ongoing? I stopped following that thread for about three weeks when it was going on, and the first time after that I went back in the thread there it was again unspoilered. I did the only report I've ever done on this forum and unbookmarked it.

any recommendations on a laptop refurb firm? eldest got their college equipment grant in *** there's a fuckload of difference between planned, rolling blackout and an "oh gently caress we broke it" blackout- once things collapse, it takesa lot of time and effort to bring the grid back up first one is you might have a planned few hours a day with/without electricity, the other you could spend a few days without electricity and things have a high chance of extreme spiciness good tips passed already, just want to add that a good neck/headscarf/keffiyeh/shemagh/whatever is key for layering as it will let you trap heat but also get rid of it as needed and also make you look suave as hell

Nothingtoseehere posted:So the nightmare scenario that would cause blackouts is a combination of consistent low winds in the North sea minimising wind power, along with a big cold snap hiking gas useage. And by cold snap, it's not just a "regular" period of 0C, but a surge to -5C in the midlands and south from arctic winds, which is inherently short-term because the ocean around the UK is warmer than that that and tends towards a warmer balance. Also i believe the guardian article suggested flood damage as a factor too, which does tend to happen in the UK in winter.

Clarence posted:The rap for what? I must have missed something. To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Shrek Dick. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical phallics most of the jokes will go over a typical reader's head. There's also Shrek's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Shrek Dick truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Shrek's existential catchphrase "It's Swampin Time," which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Mike Myers' genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them. 😂 And yes, by the way, i DO have a Shrek Dick tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid 😎

I suppose you could argue that it made his career but like, that's still extremely weird to imagine that because someone struck it lucky with a fairly mediocre series of books that everyone must now kowtow to her unconditionally because she has ascended to the heavens and brought back the gift of Jobs from the divine realm.
