I'm doing #[InjectFeeling('good'|'bad')] thanks. Looking forward to #[injectActivity(#Random)] later.
...eh, had to get up early to help with a deployment. Have a meeting with HR to try to get out of the 4 days in office stupidity they are pushing....Meeting up with friends after work though, so not all bad
It depends on the campaign. My players are very against shit going wrong after rolling a 1 in a DAMAGE roll - it penalises classes that have more attack actions.
Well, the Iran one might....
(Not impossible)
Their marketing has been awful though. They had a great build up with all the deep dive videos.... Then nothing for a month?!?
I originally thought it was going to come out a month ago, just after the end of the videos, then was shocked to find out it was still a month away.
I guess they wanted some time so they could address any feedback they got?
totally understandable. doesn’t the two-way meter achieve this? ( the one used in a grid-tie system)
Not by default - only expensive ones.
thats basically batteries.
even if you have home sized batteries (Tesla PowerWall etc), they will not be allowed to discharge to run your house unless you have that fancy switch to disconnect you from the grid
well to avoid a global outage, each community or a state should have Gwh scale of battery storage already charged, that way only the affected area is offline and the rest stay somewhat energized
if there is grid damage, its going to have to be turned off to repair it anyway. The batteries would be great for allowing the green transition though.
I don't think that is its official name - but currently, if you have solar panels on your roof and there is a power cut, you still lose power. this is done so you are not electrifying the disconnected grid, risking the safety of those trying to fix it.
However, you can get some equipment that separates you from the grid in a power cut, so your house can continue under its own power
The BBC has loads of recipes. No adds (in UK at least) and minimal fluff
I think I have only had 1 power cut longer than 5 mins in the last 15 years (SE England), it's not a big problem here. (Bigger issue in Scotland/Wales/Cornwall as they get bigger storms)
The grid already allows some areas to be cut off and others continue when there is a problem or lack of generation (see ZA load shedding for an extreme example).
I think what you are asking for is for the generation to be spread out so that everywhere is almost self sufficient, but can rely on others when they are not?
It's a nice idea, but I don't think it's feasible as the economies of scale make big power plants/big offshore farms more efficient. Generation will almost always be concentrated into a small number of locations. It's also much harder to balance load/demand on a smaller grid - if your street was a grid and had to operate off grid off rooftop solar for example how would it cope when everyone turns on the oven for dinner?
The bigger the grid the more resilient it is because it can cope with localised issues better.
You only need the transfer switch (expensive!) On your solar installation if you actually get power cuts.
Most of my knowledge of Polish politics came from the article I linked I'm afraid 🤷♂️
So to be clear here, no one party has a majority, so it would have to be a coalition.
Even then, they don't have a big enough majority to overturn a presidential veto.
