Mains power voltage drop to reduce usage?

Can you remember all their names? I can barely remember my kids' names.

Mostly, but some of the lovebirds are identical and not tame, so nothing to distinguish them by. The rosellas have unique markings so I have to look carefully to work it out.

Er..... how many kids do you have you randy bugger?

Same as anyone else.

No different to anyone else.

Yes.

No, just have a fused plug.

That's just the Altzheimers, nothing to worry about.

Just two girls.

Nothing new, I've never been good at remembering names or faces.

Oh yeah, Liz and Leah. There are some grandkids too, I think.

I've never met anyone who couldn't remember their own two kids' names. Select from:

They were with another woman and I rarely see them.

They're now all grown up and I never see them.

I've got dementia or alzheimers.

I gave them "special" names most folk can't spell.

They're identical twins.

It is unusual that you get that with your own 2 kids.

Do you have a problem working out which are yours and which are someone else's ?

They are smart and cute, so they must be mine.

You expect 100 years until the next earthquake?

Underground services get messed up in earthquakes.

In 2011 we lost phone, sewer, power, and water, (but ADSL kept working somehow)

wikipedia says yes.

"ed"

Typically the single phase 230 V input inverter has 127/220 V three phase output. The 230/400 V motors are much more common.

The other alterative is to use 3 capacitors to generate the phases from single phase,, but the output power is severely reduced.

Yes.

All the easy to get at stuff has long since been depleted. North sea is deep and most of the remaining gas reserves are prohibitively expensive to get at. (although recent price hikes may have changed that)

Output has been declining since the peak in 2000. eg

Rough gas storage facility uses some of the empty salt domes.

Good while it lasted but UK gas production and consumption crossed over in 2004 - ever since then we have been a net importer of natural gas. It was fine whilst there was plentiful Russian gas for the mainland but now it is very much a sellers market with insane price spikes possible.

Not having any storage means that we will have to pay whatever it takes to keep the lights on this winter. The campaign to save energy in the UK remains very lacklustre when compared to the 1970's OPEC induced oil crisis which had a very high profile "Save It" campaign slogan.

Ah, yes. That needs a more expensive inverter.

Ugh.

Even if it is a waste, it can be cheaper to use. However, they are very difficult to find here.

Yeah, so what?

The infrastructures are what they are, for whatever reasons. Spain has a huge capacity to take gas, either from Argel or by tanker ships, but basically no interconnecting pipes to the north to send it there. So now we have stored gas enough to last the winter and more.

A pipe is going to be built, to Marseilles, after an agreement between Portugal, Spain, and France. But that will take years to be operational.
