  you can expect 0-2% output from a panel in the winter time

  I can confirm this. My family is off-grid and there have been extended periods the last two winters when it has simply been too dark for too long to depend on the solar without installing 50x more panels.

  Also, the problem with having larger battery capacity to span these periods is that if they don’t get fully recharged or cycled properly the batteries get damaged and eventually die. We learnt that the hard way.

  Solar is the undisputed champion for 80-90% of the year but needs the complemented with something else for the remainder, if you want uninterrupted on-demand electricity.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do old people still remember their childhood? Do people just start losing their memories and their sense of self as they get older?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is a good question and I’ll be interested to see what others have to say. One thing I’ve noticed is that memories can transform into ‘memories of memories’. What I remember is not the felt impression of something but what I subsequently told or showed myself about it. And it doesn’t even just apply to childhood - I have same thing for big events in my life from last couple of years.

  I do find that it’s possible to consciously dig deeper and unearth forgotten memories though.

  I’ll also add that I think what constitutes a sense of ‘self’ is more than just memory.

  If there is a third world war I think either everyone will lose in one day (nuclear weapons), or it will be sabotage and ‘special military operations’ everywhere for decades, and not named as a world war until later.

  You need to wipe it onto a bigger ostrich

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is Substack and why all the sudden do all the content creators seem to be on it?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It seems to be a way for people to have a paywalled blog without building their own website.

  Fine.

  Renationalise and redistribute wealth though.

  Trump’s biggest legacy will be the global shift to open source. His second biggest legacy will be the decline the US empire.

  For sure.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's it going to take to truly stop the US?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Perhaps expensive briefly but the overall savings would be colossal.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨NHS England quietly removes open source policy web pages⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  What exactly was formerly open source? I think the NHS has the more to gain from open source than almost anyone else I can think of. Incidentally they are also sitting on possibly the most valuable dataset on the planet.

  What’s the job just out of curiosity?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Add a third, larger bar for "knowing the right people" skills⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, just because you can do something for an interview doesn’t mean you will do it again repeatedly for years on end.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UK is ‘unwelcoming’ and ‘racist’ for overseas NHS health workers, warns top doctor⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  They are already moving onto people with mental health problems like spectrum disorders. After that they will have people who are physically disabled and, as always, women.

  They will never run out of ‘others’ to blame. It’s better to confront them on the economy, which there is only one of and is already getting destroyed by policies they want to extend.

  It’s worse: they are bidding everything up and making it more expensive for everyone else.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Creating apps like Signal or WhatsApp could be 'hostile activity,' claims UK watchdog⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Am I missing something in the thought process here? Surely removing encryption just makes the entire UK uniquely vulnerable to having their messages read not just by UK intelligence but anyone. It doesn’t make any sense.

  The more you think about it the more capitalism looks like a death cult.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UK Wants All iPhones to Block Explicit Images Unless You Prove Age⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m against this for the surveillance and meddling in people’s private lives but I’m also for it because a) kids are getting fucked up by internet and, most of all, b) I like thinking about how MPs are probably oblivious to how burdensome this will be for google and apple to implement and the precedent it would set for every government being able to demand their own set of mods. It’s beautiful.

  Weird. I thought it must have some kind of xenophobia connection judging by the reaction.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I prefer stories of random white dudes being in places they had no business being in because they went from their childhood home in the countryside to the big city, met the wrong people while they were drunk and woke up there with sunburn and knowledge of a great number of sea shanties.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How the UK’s dependency on cars slows down the economy⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It used to be possible to live and work in much of the UK without a car. Where I live it is now basically impossible, unless you have a remote job, get food delivered and completely withdraw from society.

  I would say that it probably is but if it turns out to be cultural then that would be very interesting.
