My pixel set to Australian English works fine in metric. I presume you chose British English where they use miles rather than kilometres, of course that works for me as I also want Australian spellings

The most recent update to Libre Office reset my UI language to one I don't know well enough to recognise. I uninstalled and reinstalled it.

Since we're using Unicode we sort by first on left to right or last letter on right to left languages by their code point

Indeed, but cheaper than enough batteries to cover those times

In the off grid home scale one I'd size and set the generator to run for several hours in a row to fully charge the battery on days when the battery was at a sufficiently low charge entering the night, at least that's what my current modelling suggests. Diesel gensets work best when running fully loaded for at least long enough to warm up

I guess at grid scale you find the sweet spot where most years the gas power station and batteries are balanced to provide cheapest power averaged over the year

The diagram shows that they fall short on winter mornings

My own modelling to decide what size battery I want for my house says it's easy almost every day, but when you have three rainy and overcast days in a row you need a battery far larger or an alternative. For me the alternative is the grid; at grid scale it's gas generators

You think it would work if one end is a magnet and the other ferrous metal? I'm pretty certain it wouldn't

Whatever happens there's no work done as the magnet and it's partner don't move relative to each other. There's force between them, but no movement.

That's a lot more curse than threat

I presume you know you're lying, that's why you named yourself jerkface

Hope our instances last that long

Some of those are so long I'd end up in a different city! Australian cities are very very spread out
