  • This is becoming an issue in Australia, we have high solar uptake but a lot of systems were installed before batteries were readily available earlier on or without batteries to save outlay. The result is that there is more energy on the grid during the day while nobody is home and the grid highly utilised at night, but there is less people paying utility fees & usage so the grid will soon become underfunded for repairs and expanding infrastructure.
    Its not a problem yet but there will be policy and taxing changes in the near future to account for this (similar to fuel exercise tax being shifted from being tacked onto the fuel prices to instead be some tax or licence fee as we shift to electric/green tech vehicles)

  • They are referring to the recent scotus backflip on the Chevron Deference, which in a really basic summary allows any old judges to make rulings on issues of regulation rather than the relevent government agencies and EXPERTS in the specific field.
    If i understand correctly things such as dumping chemicals into environment/drinking water/atmosphere can be determined by some judge in some random county for giant companies operating in their state.

  • The dictatorship of Australia?

  • Dude is fucking sharp, huge misfire on not backing him.

  • Agreed, also i have no idea how deep he is in, but alcohol withdrawal can kill if people arent weaned off.

  • Autodesk for myself, apparently its super dependant on .net and other windows framework so its not like they are going to make it linux compatible any time soon.

  • (Castle > House) It's a play on the name "house" spider, "castle" spiders aren't a thing.

  • All i can think is 'imagine if Bernie was 10yrs younger...'

  • Ironically in this case doing the job properly reduces costs significantly.
    Everything in the chain from the outlets, ductwork, damper, valves, condensers, pipes, tray, fans, component ratings & switchboards can be reduced to a reasonable size.
    Which then has peripheral benefits like reduced transport costs, crane lifts, space in service zones between floors/risers, materials & running costs of the completed building

  • I read this to the tune of The Court of King Caractacus

  • To be fair that comes in a bottle. It definitely tastes like a certain type of old fashioned, but there are so many ways to make an old fashioned that not everybody's going to like it.
    Personally the bullet rye makes a good old fashioned in my book

  • Fuck the US and any other governments that are doing this dodgy shit that requires whistleblowing in the first place.
