There's no conditional on solar panel pricing -- you can do this now. I have 12kW of panels, and a 10kW inverter. I get a nice 10kW flat-line for a few hours each day through summer, and a better-than-it-would-otherwise-be return thro

My experiences with Saltstack and Ansible are inverted - I realise the comparison was only a casual aside in TFA, but the 'Ansible executed the idea better than Saltstack' comment invites so many questions, especially in the conte

I perhaps wasn't 100% clear. I'm not suggesting English is a perfect representation of thoughts & concepts into strings of letters & punctuation, or that any one variant has tweaked it to be just right . I'm complain

Ooh, that first bit suggests you're in danger of suggesting there's a coherent, sensible, set of rules for English ... which I'm sure you don't really subscribe to. Anyone adopting that position as a starting point is g

There was an article posted here a few months back on the subject of 'thousands of an inch', the misuse of 'mill', etc - and a slight digression around how our friends on the far side of the pond are fascinated by fracti

Aha, but are you from the south ? I've never heard it pronounced as a two-syllable word in the UK, but I confess to only very occasionally travelling north of Luton.

Somewhere between 'ton' and 'tone'. Though I think American English tends to pronounce 'ton' as 'tun', would that be right, or are there significant regional accent variations? Anyway, refer sibling c

> In the US we don't really use the word tonne. Yes, that was pretty much the crux of my point. If you did use that spelling, you wouldn't have to disambiguate, and it'd align with popular English-speaking nations that

Well, I'm in Australia, and it's common here (too). I suspect you'd find it's common in most English-speaking non-USA metric-embracing nation states. It works fine spoken, too, because we could say 'imperial ton&#x2

I do get your point, but for the record it should never be 1000kg. In metric we use the word tonne to disambiguate from the myriad weird, whacky, and deprecated tons used by ~ 5% of the population.

If you have the capability to measure state, and you have control over audio / visual input, then you necessarily have the ability, albeit via a probably alarmingly small number of experiments, to induce (some value of) state.

Here in NSW Australia our new state government is implementing a no-mobile-phones-in-high-schools (11-18yo) policy, scheduled to come into effect the last term (quarter) of 2023. This extends a similar existing policy in primary schools (5-

Are you conflating 'right' with 'abnormal' in that sentence then? I feel you're teasing us with a potentially contentious position on .. something, when you could be just stating that position(s).

Yeah, I suspect it's more nuanced than it seemed to me at the time. You say it wasn't seized upon by media etc, but perhaps it just wasn't by the media you (or I) was consuming? The USA media I consumed - Seth Meyer, John Ol
