Wind turbines used to absorb a power surplus?

That attitude is precisely why it's only 3%. Until morons stop tactical voting, you'll be stuck with the major parties. Just vote for who you want to get in.

Be more specific. What do you believe would go wrong?

Due to lack of quoting, I'm not sure what this is about. But the ones I can think of I mentioned recently were bulk caps in computer power supplies. Maybe for a ZX spectrum 50pF might work.

Why do people seperate the number from the units? You wrote 50 pF, I wrote 50pF.

I said wires, not wireless.

Connect every neighbouring country. Pass the electrons along.

Isn't it more like us holding them to ransom? The EU's crazy way of "fighting" a war?

And I don't belong to either. I sometimes vote for the Republican candidate because the Democrat is a complete waste of oxygen. Beyond that neither party matches my preferences very well.

Should be possible, just pick a wavelength humans don't absorb, then make the equivalent of a microwave link like they do for communications, but f****ng powerful.

My old meter wasn't mechanical. It was digital (because they'd installed it to give me dual rate 10 years ago).

I've never heard of a woman objecting to being called a somethingman. It's just a word.

It's illegal to disrupt the mail service. Film her/it doing it.

I get my mail delivered to my house. I live in a 1st world country.

Actually, we call it post. I wonder if we'd invented email, it would be called epost?

For a couple of examples: the financial industry lobbied for the removal of the Glass-Steagall regulations and were successful in 1999. They used the new found freedom to destroy themselves within 8 years.

More regulations were imposed. The Silicon Valley Bank, among others, lobbied to have them loosened. The inevitable meltdown came even faster.

That's an entire industry of supposedly intelligent people that can't play nice without supervision. The LP assumes the vast majority of people can make intelligent decisions. I believe, almost by definition, that 50% of the population has an IQ of 100 or less.

Apparently not. There are a couple of trails I hike where there are good views of a peak with a lot of electronics -- and no cell phone coverage. Once I'm in view of year another electronics installation I have signal. There are at least 6 mountain tops with various electronics that may or may not be quasi line of sight depending on where you are.

John is correct according to convention and you are wrong, as typical.

A government guide also endorses the space:

-- Why do some people write seperate rather than separate?

Gender is statistically predictable in many professions. I don't see why you think otherwise.

Then I can only presume you are in denial that there are both poor male and female drivers yet only men will only ever be F1 Champions.

That's a blatant lie on so many counts. Your behaviour is also more akin to a 10 year old vying for attention.

When you use LTSpice and post here your netlist to predict the outcome to your diode in series with a transformer issue then I will accept your IQ may be over 100.

Until then 75 sounds a more accurate appraisal.

Larry Summers was trashed for musing that many measurable things have a wider normal distribution among males than females, which extends the extreme wings on both ends. Males have more geniuses and more idiots.

That, which seems to be true, is still no excuse to make assumptions about individuals. Most of us live near the middle of our normal distributions.

I know women who can handle power tools, and guys who can't. Guys who knit and women who program FPGAs.

One reason why Western countries are so successful is that we are willing to use 100% of our talent pool, and not 50% like some countries that won't educate or employ women. The two World Wars pulled women out of kitchens into factories and trucks and airplanes.

The secret to success: marry a woman who has a good job.

IQ is certainly correlated to electronic circuit design ability, but a high IQ isn't enough. Lots of very smart PhDs are horrible circuit designers. Read The Review Of Scientific Instruments for some hilarious examples.

Since wind and solar power are free, a few per cent transmission efficiency should be fine.

I take it you have an old house with the meter indoors. Most are outside nowadays, damp ain't good for paper and biro.

F*ck them, I'll just use less power then.

Why would anyone want to be in credit with them? I pay after I use the power.

I have mains gas in as much as there's a pipe full of it under my drive. It doesn't go anywhere though. Gas is a neanderthal energy source.
