It’s a nice idea but impractical. Energy = mass x gravity x height

Say 10 tonnes of water pumped into a massive 20m high tower… E =10000x9.8x20 Joules. ≈ 2 mega joules.

Theres 3600 joules to a watt hour so divide that and you get:

≈ 550 watt hours (0.55kWh) of storage (assuming perfect efficiency of the turbines). About the same a half a dozen big cordless tool battery packs.

Thank you for actually answering OPs original question and the follow up.

No. I see where they’re coming from. You’re not embracing the spirit of The Fucking Corolla.

You think you’re replacing just a radio but who knows what kind of imbalance you’ll introduce.

It’s a Corolla, without Bluetooth. That’s the rules. Dont fuck with it.

It’s nothing if it doesn’t have a yellow and black sign of a road worker scratching his butt.

Hey there! Sorry, I got busy with work today.

I was just noticing that you have plenty of replies. I think you seem to have enough to go on with.

If you still need anything, hit a reply to this one and I can give you my 2-cents worth of opinion.

I think for those classic clicky dumb thermostats they should be called thermochaser.

You dial up a temp and that’s pretty much the least likely temp that you’re setting, the f****** think will overshoot panic, u-turn dive back past the set-point hit the breaks u-turn again apply full throttle.

Or perhaps a thermotease. For when you do that fine adjustment to try and make it just barely click then 10 seconds later it’s too hot or cold… so you give it anither tiny tweak thinking you gotta be close but no, it’s miles away from clicking - burning away, quietly mocking you.

First question. Was your router also your modem? As in describe each connection/device from street until you get to your router. (Do you also know your connection type? Some flavour of DSL, HFC, Fiber?)

Sure! Scooters could be lethal!

I’d love to see that normalised to how many of each vehicle type are in use aver the same time.

Initially, I see that and think trucks are less deadly than cars, but according to my brief Google search (https://www.statistiques.developpement-durable.gouv.fr/donnees-sur-le-parc-automobile-francais-au-1er-janvier-2024), there are 5x more cars than trucks, which puts them [trucks] over the top of cars in every category.

I guess that doesn’t really matter to the pedestrian. It still sucks to be killed by either.

This Billy Joel remix needs some work. Though, it still makes more sense than the original.

Oh damn. I sure did.

Thank you protestor. I mean it doesn’t even pass the possibility test. 300m people population, 1m litres ≈ 300L per person, per day?

I hear you and actually subscribe to your magazine. But…

Is your chicken-zero growing inside a chicken egg, or is it growing in a proto-chicken-thingo™ egg? I agree the thing growing will be born as the worlds first chicken and then grow its own eggs but what do we call the egg it’s in?

Is the egg named after the thing it hatches? Or, is the egg named after the thing that made the egg? Which might be the same as asking, is it called a “chicken egg” or “chicken’s egg” … or… both?

I guess I’ll need to actually read the research paper to find out.

I ended up on Piwigo. It’s pretty fully featured and allows you to set up access controls for groups. Also has client apps.

I don’t really understand this reply and why this is a shower thought.

But, I take it back. Clearly not a pastor or sermon. Sorry, my bad…

Is this one of those “how do you do fellow kids” accounts made by a very young looking , middle aged pastor attempting to infiltrate social media?

Tim Minchin has a couple that’d entertain me.

A serious take on the season…

White Wine in the Sun - https://youtu.be/_CeY0VdhXK8

Lol… Well I’m glad someone saw it :D

Lexx is wild. I watched it originally on a pay tv channel that had cut the episodes up into ~25 minute blocks.

I first dropped into late season 2 and occasionally I’d miss an episode.

So, combined with the weird cutting, the no context and the standard Lexx craziness, I had NO idea what was happening. The whole thing was a fever dream. Highly recommend!

I actually think it’s was the best way to watch it first go round! Then, when I came back and do the whole series in order and it was almost as much of a surprise.
