I've used this for years, I don't know how it compares to anything else as I've never not been able to do what I wanted with it https://www.den4b.com/products/renamer
I'm done... even when I bring politics in with the idea that it was fixed, you still come back with 'we cannot do that because of politics' you have no ability to think past your own beliefs, I'm done practically every single time we talk I have to tell you AGAIN that I'm talking about theory, pract...
alright, first off, yes, I know what ROI is, and I know that the longer the lead in time, the more pessimistic ROI projections are the ones you should look at (hope for the best, prepare for the worst).. if, in the end, all this does is costs 10 billion, and saves 11 billion, I wouldn't say do it, b...
There is no current (and nor has their been recently) any excess capacity in Lake Meade. Though your idea has some technical merit the practicalities of it being implemented are very small. Well, as I've pointed out several times (not to you), I'm actually only trying to argue the technical side of...
And your continual mistake is to believe that Hoover Dam can run at nameplate power 24/7/365. thanks for the assumption, but, I'm not of the mind that ANY power plant can safely run at 100% at all points in time (well, I guess photostatic solor panels on spacecraft do techincally run 100% of the ti...
So Glorious without quoting anyone please simply state what the issue is with using Lake Mead as one side of a pumped storage hydro power system? The water is already in it. That is where your mistake is.. at least in this instance, the mistake I've tried to tell you 3 or 4 times now.. the water in...
Is it a technical issue, physics issue, or political? I'm simply trying to understand your point of view but it is lost in all the back and forth. The Hoover Dam's primary purpose (when constructed, and still to this day) is providing water to downstream members of the Compact in accordance with th...
Oh Captain My Captain, I don't think so? There are a few things that I think you may be referring to, and I believe they're all accounted for from other systems, unless I'm missing something so much I don't see that I'm missing it
yes, if for the peak times, the hoover dam is running at 100%, or yes, if the hoover dam is already pouring water through that is not being used to create energy, then the whole thing is pointless (at least for now, however, the idea that the counties power usage is going to go down over time is abs...
lock thread with active debate going on, where, though people are getting somewhat heated, likely due to people arguing the opposite side of the same coin, where it doesn't look like people are being intentionally or directly belligerent to each other (yet?)
that is EXACTLY what the addition of a pumped hydro station will be doing, it will be refilling the lake that the hoover dam is holding back yes, english is my first language, I forgot to proofread/delete that sentence when I figured out a better way to state my hypothetical, so, yeah, that sentence...
Ok, first off, when I was referring the hoover damn having extra capacity, I was referring to water capacity, not its load percentage, that was a simple and understandable misreading so I'll get out of the way first (I.E. the water is well below the height of the dam where the structure can no longe...
Glorious, because date's don't matter, the time of day does, that's why I said NOON on day one, to NOON on day two, at NOON the water being used in this closed loop system WILL be in it's lower potential state (thank you for reminding me of lower/higher potential felt like a fool having to describe ...
What you are missing is that the water that is flowing as a pumped storage system *does not* start in the higher potential, you're starting at the wrong part of the loop, look at the system as if it goes from noon on day 1 to noon on day 2 at noon, while the dam is not operating, when you have an en...
Sorry, it's in the name.. PUMPED storage.. where you PUMP water against gravity, to store it as potential energy during times when the grid has a surplus of energy even with the dams turbines not running (around noon-3pm), the excess energy runs the pumps to move the water to a higher position (I fo...
I can't speak for others, but, now I'm slightly worried you took my comment seriously, I just always think of Mr Bill from SNL whenever I see your name, that's all I meant by that
We expect a full long form write up on the front page a week or few after you get it in I know numerous people are clamoring that you should have done that for ms pac man, but, I always thought the Prusa would have been the better (and technically more relevant, using multiple meanings of the word t...
May I drop a penny in this pond? I know this seems like an overly ambitious and idealistic idea from someone who has done a laughably small amount of research, so, I hope this isn't insultingly naive to the conversation, but, California, Nevada, and Arizona have a major commodity in this fight that ...
My two cents, I initially intended something like this as it's own topic, but, here seems like a good place... I wish I could blame youtube... I *really* wish I could blame facebook, there's a reason why the space race lost so much glamour after Apollo 13 splashed down in the Pacific... It's been mo...
well, that's definitely something you don't often see on youtube.. or ever.. watching your video and glance at view count to see "No views" to make it even more confusing, there's even a thumbs up anyways, thanks for the continuous updates, I know there hasn't been much back and forward in...
I don't know if you're ok with used tech, but, as you're looking at a 1070ti for 350, I feel obliged to mention that I just got a hotclocked trifan 1080 (gigabyte) for 300 off on ebay.. had to keep an eye out for the better deals/cards.. I have also been using a used 1070 for the past 1.5 years, and...
(spoiler, zero experience with 3d printers, proceed with skepticism) noticed the strings on the boat test you did, then 3 days later see a video speaking about moisture buildup in filaments whose thumbnail showed that same boat test print, one with excessive strings (much more than your print), one ...
I've got several ideas, but, given my lack of actual physics lessons I don't want to mention them without some more information. (which I suspect others may want as well) I may honestly be of no help in the end, but, here's my questions.. How long is the tube? What type of readings are you actually ...
I cannot be the only person here that remembers that there was a hubub about the Japanese military getting ansy because these things shared characteristics with the computer INSIDE an ICBM.. not as a hacking tool, but the actual ICBM hardware
Neat. Shame it didn't make it to orbit this time, but a small payload might be a perfect fit for regular ISS supply missions. You're going to need a significant fraction of that 140kg just for rendezvous thrusters and the like. Would you really? OR... Could you launch it in a specific time/trajecto...
Don't worry darkmage, vrock already berated me about my bullpup sks..
secondly, I actually like the feel of bullpups over, umm, non bullpups... traditional? standard? whatever, tasters choice of course, if I was left handed that would be a different matter (though the f2000 and p90 are ambidextrous)
