Bangin. Just what I needed tonight, thanks.

Probably refers to island mode capability. The inverters can generate their own set point voltage, rather than relying on a voltage from the grid and responding to its inputs. One of the main downsides of renewables is that they are inverter driven and the output is always chasing and lagging behind its input, whereas a spinning turbine just keeps spinning via inertia, in spite of load fluctuations.

This has other advantages with possible reactive power compensation and load diversion on distribution and transmission networks, if fully implemented.

In this case, I wouldn’t be surprised if they have island mode capability because of unreliability from the grid.

Any renewable energy is cheaper than fossil fuels.

Over the 30-50 year life of a power plant, fuel is by far the biggest cost. Renewables have zero fuel cost.

Hey if it works in nature.

The winglets on the end of airplane wings were added after watching hawk wing feathers with slow motion cameras.

The joke is that this is the best representation of a Fourier transform you’re ever likely to see.

Yeah I was thinking it must be to do with some un-federated stuff.

How dare you post this without any link @[email protected]

Edit: Looks a bit different today, how could have a last post 2 years ago in the OP but have a last post here just over 1 year ago?

The clever part is drawing the parallel between two unrelated things, to draw on the recipient’s emotions about one of them and entice them to compare why they feel differently about the other.

Somewhat manipulative, perhaps, but only in the way that explaining things manipulates someone into understanding.

There were people around the globe who knew about the nsa before Edward Snowden and told the truth.

There was a whole fucking Will Smith movie about it in the late 90s. With Gene Hackman, and young Jack Black and Seth Green. Enemy of the State.

But yeah that wasn’t proof, either. But it was the closest to people shouting on the rooftops that this kind of thing was, in fact, happening.

I mean he did coin/popularise the phrase “Saying you don’t care about privacy because you have nothing to hide is like saying you don’t care about free speech because you have nothing to say.”
