UK government has announced all new homes will have solar power and heat pumps!
Probably because yet another war resulting in fuel prices climbing even higher and the obvious economic risks of relying on petrochemicals imported from unstable regions has been clearly highlighted...again...
It's almost like green energy has lots of advantages other than just being clean...
To sum up in 3 words:
ABOUT BLOOMIN' TIME!!!
Fraunhofer ISE have now demonstrated they've reached the 1MW mark for an electric vehicle charging station. (For HGVs, Busses or 4x cars)
The new 'MCS' charger is backwards compatible with the 'CCS' standard apparently.
They buffer a 500kW grid connection (or solar supply) to create 1MW peak charging.
With just 1210 of those chargers you can take a Delorean back in time to 2015 to pick up a sports almanac.
So I built my computer about 12 years ago. In that time the only thing I've upgraded is the GPU. Anyway that's beside the point.
I decided today was a good time to do a bit of internal maintenance and cleaning only to find that I'd installed one of my primary fans backwards. 12 years since input that fan in... I hadn't noticed for over a decade...
Oops
The USA probably has the most over funded military industrial complex in the world. Trillions of dollars worth of people and machinery.
And yet this war has highlighted continuous incompetence.
3 fighter jets lost to friendly fire
1 refuelling aircraft lost in an accident
A fire aboard an aircraft carrier affecting hundreds of crew.
Not to mention accidentally missing a military base and blowing up a school!
Enemy fire is the least of their concerns...
How the **expletive** has NCP gone into administration!? They ran cash-cow car parks! Just how bad does the management need to have gotten things wrong to screw up running a car park?
The parent company actually tried to blame 'rising energy costs'. I can't think of many businesses that use less energy than a car park!?
I'd assumed the way one collects elemental materials in survival crafters like Subnautica and Planet Crafter were mostly a conceit to improve gameplay.
Then curiosity discovered neat nodules of elemental sulphur on mars. This means curiosity can craft the rocket booster now right?
The US have now accidentally used their laser weapons against one of their own border patrol drones just a couple of weeks after shooting at a party balloon they thought was a drone.
I just keep thinking of Neunundneunzig Luftballoons...
Conservatives defect to reform and now reform members are defecting to other extremist parties. (Or making up their own)
It's almost as though if you get a bunch of narcissistic bigoted self-righteous arseholes together you end up with unstable and unreliable politicians.
Still I'm not complaining, the more fragmented and disorganised those right-wing nutters are the less likely they are to win and significant seats.
