He's saying you're an extreme edge case that's <0.01% of the population and shouldn't expect gargantuan corps to cater for your edge case as it doesn't make financial sense.

Micro inverters don't solve everything. Installing panels where they'll be in full sun for an hour a day isn't a good use of resources.

DC arcs are much harder to extinguish. Switching 10A of 240v AC is trivial. Switching 10A of 240V DC is much more complicated in terms of switchgear. Sustained arcs are dangerous.

Why is that a problem? The whole point is to make the viewer laugh and mock them for comedy.

In this case, people making $21 an hour are not worried about climate change. They're worried about putting food on the table, making rent etc. Climate change is a problem for the elites/big corps/government. The idea of maki

That helps with storage on the output side. But what about the issues/capital costs/resource/labour usage of building huge capacity plant that only gets used 15% of the day?

There's inherently no advantage to just taping the two things together. The idea is to make drinking water. Storing energy is a separate challenge. There's no advantage to combining the two.

Even so - from a usage of the worlds resources point of view, have 5x oversized equipment idling for 75% of the day is not ideal.

That also increases capital costs, putting us back to square 1. Also, have a look at the energy requirements of desal plants. "a few batteries" is pretty gargantuan hand waving

Absolutely, but it's a scale problem. Say you want to produce 1000m3 a day. Well you can build a small plant that makes 41m3 ish an hour and run it 24/7. If you want to produce 1000m3 a day in the three or four hours where solar e

Interesting - the argument being that getting woken by a fire alarm precluded work the next day? I did some work for a IHG and was told that one of their Sydney hotels hosted all staff from a particular airline when they were in town. Seem

You’re in a very privileged situation to be able to afford $20-$25k up front for a big system like that. These problems are technologically solved, they’re just not solved from a cost perspective for the average Joe. Average Joe is therefor

A slur doesn’t need to have any specific definition. It’s contextual and it’s about how it’s used. “Retarded” is a technical/medical term but is now forbidden. Note I agree with you in general about the free speech thing. It’s just Mus

The salt and vinegar thing annoyed me. If you're putting the worm in a sealed zip lock bag, isn't it going to die anyway, eventually? Salt and vinegar just seems to be gilding the lily.

Sure, but in the context of society all laws exist to override personal decision making. Anything from speeding fines to marriage laws to corruption regulations. It's all about taking the autonomy away from the individual. RvW isn'
