Screw Elon Musk and the horse he rode in on. There is
no way I'm going to give that character my content or
collaborate in anything he owns or has a stake in.

Still looking for an alternative.

If you comment and I'm not responding to you it may well be that you are filtered out from my view, besides I don't owe you a response.

I'm playing around with an extension that allows muting particular accounts, so if I don't respond to you it may also be that you are simply filtered out.

Yes, and that tiny little difference can cost you a lot of expensive gear if you run it off the battery and plug in a serial port or something like that. You'll also learn first hand what arc welding looks like without welding glass.

Agreed, for the IEEE to go down this route is more than a little weird.

Not going to happen. For the same reason that the US never converted to a higher domestic voltage even though there are many practical advantages. The transition from one system to another at the consumer level would be terrible, even if there would be some advantage (and I'm not sure the one you list is even valid, you'd get DC-DC converters instead because your consumers typically use a lower voltage than the house distribution network powering your sockets) it would be offset by the cost of maintaining two systems side by side for decades.

You could wire your house for 12, 24 or 48V DC tomorrow and some off-grid dwellers have done just that. But since inverters have become cheap enough such installations are becoming more and more rare. The only place where you still see that is in cars, trucks and vessels.

And if you thought cooking water in a camper on an inverter is tricky wait until you start running things like washing machines and other large appliances off low voltage DC. You'll be using massive cables the cost of which will outweigh any savings.

> and deal with the baiting once and for all.

That sounds very bad when you translate it into German.

The opposite: Trump and Netanyahu have just proven to the bulk of the Iranians that the mullahs were right all along. They have helped IRGC more than they've hurt them by taking out their leadership. The mistake here is to think that the IRGC is structured along the lines of NATO or something like that. It really isn't. It's more like a 'instant guerilla mix' where all you have to do is add some water and stir it up. They learned a lot of lessons from looking at Iraq and the fact that their command structure is still in place should tell you something.

The only reason that has not happened is because the West needs that oil to flow.

The IRGC has more support in Iran than the Republicans do in the United States, just to give you one datapoint to contemplate.

I you want to point at evil and dangerous regimes I have a list and Iran wouldn't even be in the top 3...

I haven't actually watched the last two seasons yet but the first ones are amongst the best stuff I've ever watched on a screen. So thank you for the heads up.
