Tis all about putting things into perspective....

No. but it less discourteous than the other misnomers that sprang to mind.

OME, in the interest of fact hunting I asked A.I. and the answer to your question is ....... "The price of tea in China varies widely based on factors like quality and type, with average prices around $10 for 250g of tea, while high-quality varieties can cost significantly more, even up to $1,000 for 500g." So there!

That's relevant. Remember Donold once promised to make eggs cheaper.

Are you referring to unsolicited phone calls? I totally agree. They are an insult to our intelligence. But we cannot blame the politicians for it, no matter what political party is in power. Further, I cannot stand the businesses that persist in using foreign call centres. Or A.I. voice prompts. But I still cannot blame politicians for such business decisions that create poor customer service (even the big profitable banks are often guilty of it).

gotta larf. Just displays the level of Amerikan ignorance for the world to see. But the world doesn't neen any more proof. of course I question 'is that pic real?' These days truth challenges irony a lot.

Like all 'end of use' engineering stories....... I'm still waiting to hear all about the grand innovative car tyre recycling plan. or the grand plastics recycling plan......... or the innovative nuclear waste recycling plan. We hoomin beans are not very innovative when we finish playing with our toys.

Good question. No doubt there is a connection. On the flip side of that thought, Without my grasp of language, I would never have found out how unintelligent some folk are....

Get ya mind outa tha gutter, old mate. You're above all this.

They must have used a long lense to get that shot. Or cheated.

But just look at all the money saved..... Looks like you won't be spending anything on diesel for a while. Unless you finish that bushcraft trike.

Our politicians should take note of that

I think the concern raised in the video is about the risks posed by combining anthropomorphic weaponry with effective simpler machines like drones. Further, although they didn't mention it, there is the possibility that one deranged person could control them without worrying about disobeying 'illegal orders'. Or A.I. deciding that humans ARE the problem.

Restricted, how? I clicked on it. It played. Perhaps restricted fron usa? They didn't say.

Even more sobering.... There are only 7k likes, and only 1k comments on this vid. I would have hoped for lots lots more concerned people watching & reacting. Unless the restriction mentioned (censorship) is so widespread that nobody is seeing it.

Tis is the first time I have heard that anybody is still getting those old FIT's. Anyway, regardless of the money side of it, Our energy system is evolving. And any system that is undergoing major changes (such as integrating new generation into the grid), there usually are some teething problems. Surprisingly, the grid is coping really well so far. But then again, technological advancements have always impacted the grid. And over the 30 years I was involved (in Qld), there was a constant learning curve and very few hiccups along the way. So far, so good. I do have an issue with the privatisation of the retail end of the power industry. Just putting up a bunch of offices really adds to the cost to the consumer. After all, instead of paying one retail outlet, the consumers collectively foot the combined costs of multiple CEO's, multiple databases, multiple help desks, multiple staff, etc. This simply has to cost more than one payment system.

Well america sure said 'Death to all Iranians'

Sorry, Siso, but that statement is a contradiction in terms. I cannot see any facts to support this. The generating market has always been volatile. Speaking in terms of prior to the new solar and wind contribution, It was mostly predictable on the demand side, but unpredictable on the generation side. With all the generators involved, every day there is a combination of planned outages and unplanned outages (breakdowns). The National Market regulator just deals with it. Sometimes i saw the wholesale price rocket from $30 to thousands of dollars whilst an extra power station got up to speed. All part of the way the grid works. Renewables are simply another source of electrons. Sure, there are more things to consider now. But the management is evolving to cope with each change. Renewables are not causing much trouble. Nor are they parasitic.

I have heard that jdv has many tattoos. I'm not sure but one on his arm might be seen as evangelist crusader-ish. Which might explain a few things. From wiki;- "Deus vult is a Christian motto historically tied to ideas of divine providence and individual interpretation of God's will. It was first chanted by Catholics during the First Crusade in 1096 as a rallying cry, " Note these pics are a bit dated.... before he started using eye shadow.

USA is gathering speed. Lil Donny is achieving his task - gutting amerika.

Well the Iran war seems to have gone quiet. Has the news cycle got this short? Or has Iran actually been bombed back into the stone age? Maybe donold has finally shredded the last of the Epstein files?

It's time to bring back the horse drawn tourist bus!

They are already working on that. Probably economically feasible when the pump price hits $6/ltr. Or so.

Interesting concept. Tell me, how do I go about this? Is there any data available to find out what options are out there? At present, I am waiting for my new smart meter. I guess I'll have to look into setting up timed usage somehow.

Crikey it's wet. Anybody been looking at the synoptic maps lately? The southern lows are coming through close together, and the highs are sort of centering on Tassie.
