That’s despicable. I’d be absolutely disgusted by that behavior, and tell him in no uncertain terms. And tell him it would have been better to not come at all. That way he would have saved the 2 hours he wasted on the plane.

This article has waaayyy too much “if this actually worked it could be used for…” and “instead of other methods that don’t work…”. But waaayy to little about the actual validity of the process.

This is a general trend every fucking time an article claims to have something on CO2 or batteries or global warming. IMO this is probably because the actual idea is bullshit.
Sorry but my ADD prevented me from reading all that non content crap to see if there were actually anything real to read.

What if, instead of pumping the carbon dioxide underground, we made something useful from it?

WOW you’d have to be at least 4 years old to see how brilliant that could be.
What if instead of having your head up your ass, you at this point had already written at least a teaser about how this actually works?
99% sure by now, that this is a fucking waste of time.

Please someone who bothered reading this, inform me if there’s any actual content beneath that load of obvious bullshit.

Edit: Ah OK there came some almost right after what I quoted, but why the fuck do they think they need to lead with all that meaningless babble?

Arm reportedly to start competing with its own customers this year.

A few decades ago, this used to be a sure recipe for losing customers and marketshare, but the world has changed, maybe because the chip market lacks real competition, of course there is competition, but the number of players are too few, and they are too specialized for direct competition.

What I see is “Gulf of Swastika”. A name dictated by an authoritarian Nazi without proper procedure, that symbolizes the Trump administration.

If you are in USA, I seriously wish so too, because the latrine that is the debate in USA is flowing over to the rest of the world.

No need for rewrite, when it’s perfect already. 😜

For idiots to know the answer.

Well for one denial of holocaust is illegal in many countries. Often under wider rules that falsification of historical facts is illegal.

EU should ban Xitter, because it’s a channel for history falsification and hate speech.

Yes, the article is meant to expose that the rules of X literally don’t prevent pro Nazi content. And history falsification is also allowed.
The second part is illegal in many countries. Even if Nazi propaganda is legal, which it also isn’t in some countries.

will the sun powered line hop over to another one

This is why you probably need a new meter, at least that was the situation for us. If we didn’t get a new meter, we would only be able to use one line, and the surplus would go to the grid. Even if we used power on the other lines. So definitely ask an electrician or you power company about this.
They actually forgot to tell us that, so after some very confusing analyzing of what the fuck was wrong, I complained that the system didn’t work, most of our generated power was sold, and then we had to pay to sort of buy it back!!
This was all down to the meter not being replaced for one that was meant for handling local production properly. We basically lost 3 months of production on that account. After we got the new meter, it worked perfectly, and production is as advertised, and I was very happy to see that production in winter was almost exactly as I’d calculated: 😎 Although obviously you can’t calculate the number of sunny days in advance.

NB! here the new meter is subsidized so we got it at a fixed low price of €200 including installation.

Something that surprised me, was that in the summer, production is still reasonably good even on days where the sky is completely overclouded, as long as the clouds are white, enough light penetrates so we can still achieve almost half the full capacity.

Another fun story IMO, is that we switched electricity supplier February last year, and they work with advance payments, and since we were new customers, we got a bill for 3 months of normal use. We just received the “bill” for 2nd quarter, with negative payment amount, because there is still money left from our advance payment! 😋 AND that is without sales, which is a separate account, but is only about €15 per month on average. (for selling 7844 kWh for the year 2024) So about 2 cent per kWh on average.

Absolutely, when he got famous because of Tesla, I think he got high on the attention. But that attention is turning negative now.
He is also very obviously high on power, and as a narcissist he cannot tolerate opposition exactly like Trump.
But the difference is that Musk is losing control, I think that was also what happened when he did the heiling, he was so high on himself he ignored all concepts of being cautious.

Thanks works fine, I can see you also included it as part of the post. 👍

Hahah exactly, that’s a good one. 😂

100% yes, Even if it’s not the heiling and endorsing AfD, Musk is the CEO of Tesla, and has made false promises about the car for a decade.
And many other false promises like hyperloop not being that hard, manned missions to Mars 2024. Completely failing on any of his “visions” with X may be minor, but still another drop that helped the glass pour over.
Even if you initially trust a car from an untrustworthy company with a liar for CEO, the truth will dawn at you at some point.
And this is all on Elon Musk, Everything bad about Tesla is on Elon Musk. FSD not really being FSD 11 years after it was promised. Failing to present new models for years apart from the Cybertruck being a gigantic failure and a joke, Musk laughing about the competition before losing to them, the same way Steve Balmer laughed of iPhone when Jobs presented it.

Apologists claim the model Y facelift will restore sales, but will it also restore failing sales of model 3?
Even without the heiling Tesla marketshare would have dropped off a cliff in January YOY. Because the trend was started already from January 2024!!
What’s worse for Tesla is that with only 6%, their profit margins are now SMALLER than the competition.

Of course profits could be helped a bit just by firing Musk! Which they probably will have to do at some point soon anyway. Because Musk is getting ever more erratic, and if his behavior on social media and in public is any indication, it may be only a matter of time before he turns to physical violence.
He actually challenged Zuckerberg, but copped out when Zuckerberg accepted, probably because Musk is pussy that doesn’t do any training, he just takes the hormones without the training.
He also threatened Johnny Depp, threatening to chop off his “lower appendage”. Musk completely failed to see how insane Amber heard was when she was unfaithful with him, and maybe believed the lies that were later revealed in court?

He is a complete failure as a human being, and people are beginning to see his lies, and he can’t stand it, it’s probably driving him ever more insane, maybe helped by the abuse of ketamine and other substances that aren’t helpful for a man losing his senses.

Paywall

Thanks. 😀
Going off grid was absolutely a consideration, but only for a very short while. There are too many downsides. We would need twice as much solar capacity, and a way bigger battery, and batteries are still pretty expensive, but even with that, we would still need a generator. And we wouldn’t be able to sell surplus energy. It would more than double the cost, and only provide 25% better self sufficiency for the whole year than we have now.
We live in Denmark, and we can risk to have to go through almost all of December with only a few days sun. Running a diesel generator for power would be both noisy and smelly, It would also require more work to maintain, and it would actually cost slightly more to us a generator than to simply buy the electricity from the grid.

Remember doubling our capacity will not bring us from 41 to 82% self sufficiency. Because there is some loss in storage, and even double our battery capacity would not be enough to store 48 kWh like we made today in the span of only 7 hours. (Today was the best day of the year yet. 😎)
Even in January on a perfect day, we can make twice what we use, but such days are rare in January. (we use about 15 kWh per day.)

The final problem with a generator is that we would never be able to achieve remotely the stability we have with the grid. We’ve been living here for 6½ year, and the power has only been out once!!!

The problem with making it bigger than we have at all, is that after you’ve reached a point of above 50% self sufficiency, you are entering the area of diminishing returns quickly. On a yearly basis we are about 72% self sufficient. To reach that extra 22% probably cost 50% extra.

This is if you live as high north as we do, because the extra capacity is only usable in the winter, in the summer it’s all surplus, and you get so little for selling the power it’s basically irrelevant. There is too much solar now, so when solar panels have high yields, prices often go down to almost zero.

Going off grid is a lot easier if you live further south.

Oh boy, apparently there’s a lot I don’t know. It’s really cool there are those cheaper options now.

When we bought the house, that was one of the parameters on our list for “the perfect house”. So the roof to the garden is also almost perfectly towards the south. 😀
Even in January we’ve made 41% of our power consumption from the solar panels. 😎 You are right that it is a bit oversized according to “normal” recommendations which are 8 kWh for a house the size of ours, but we went a bit bigger in preparation for air to water heat pump, so warming the house will be electric, (currently wood pellets), and also we plan to buy an electric car within the next 2 years.

Also it was a bit for fun, because of the movie spinal tap, so our panels go to 11 instead of just 10, because we need that little bit extra. 😋

Stellantis is fucking up so badly, they only have 1 car in top 20 here now. This is a Peugeot placed 19, but Stellantis used to have a couple in top 10! (Denmark)
It’s really sad, because they now also have Opel, which used to be a brand known for good quality, and I’m still rolling with an 18 year old Opel Vectra that is still going strong and drives almost as new, but this is a car from BEFORE Opel became Stellantis.
We are considering buying an electric soon, and there is NOTHING from Stelantis we are considering, because we have lost trust in them.
There are lots of bad stories with Stellantis cars here, cars breaking down and dealers not honoring warranties!! And extremely expensive repairs.
The only car that is worse is Tesla. With 30% failure rate at the 4 year legally mandated safety check!!

No the price was not including installation, We have 11.2 kW panels and 7.5 kWh batteries. Installation was almost $5000.- !! That was probably mostly the 28 panels on the roof. But we had one installer handling everything, who was also responsible for the electrician.
