Tell you what though.... When the fin comes up near you when you are in the surf it doesn't matter how much you academically know it probably isn't interested in you it's terrifying.
But you have to stay indoors if you are taking the alcohol repellent approach. For some reason that haze of alcohol you have sweated out makes drop bears go fucking crazy. Personally I would prefer death by red belly then drop bear.
Wow. I thought public education was something that all but the fringe crazies realised made everyone better off. To be chair of the party and still hold that view is scary.
And that one gets countered with "I get to decide because I'm the one that got chosen by the group to decide. If you don't like it try to get the group to choose you or leave the group, I'm not keeping you here".
The big difference that seems to get lost is that the private sector and corporations are about money, and in today's world money is easily moveable. However Governments are about a people and a place. Inherently they have completely different drivers. If a company can make a profit destroying an area then they will. And once that area is destroyed they can pack up and move onto the next place. But the population in that area can't move as easily, so the actions of the corporate damage the people in the area.
Governments on the other hand can invest in things that have long term benefits to the place they cover. And it doesn't even need to be a financial benefit. They can build parks, they can paint a wall pink, they can put in sewerage. All of which likely costs more than it makes. But it benefits the people of the community that are represented by that Government.
Loss of earnings on an investment are still a cost. Normally this figure is calculated on the zero risk rate of return of things like govt bonds or triple A rated stocks.
If you don't see this as a real cost I would like to borrow all your money from you a 0% interest please.
Right...... Because the private sector will always allocate resources into areas that are needed for society to function.
Seriously even the most crazy anti-government person has to admit that there are places where the needs of a community and the needs of corporations don't align and hence a government is required to divert funds towards projects that the private sector would not have built.
Only against the maximum rate that has ever been seen in the population. Your maths is correct but if you base your assumption on the mid point of the range, ie 7.5 you will find that 5-6 cases becomes statistically significant. However like all statistics the conclusions drawn can always be shifted around based on chosen start points.
Where would you put tidal power systems if not on the coast?
And I gave you the best performance of a turbine ever at 59% and then gave you two whole countries with multiple wind farms in each, and picked the one with the highest national performance and you are complaining?
And CF can never exceed 100%. If it does you have created some kind of magical power source.
No I wasn't trying to say that. But if you shut down a nuclear plant which is consistent all the time you can't drop wind in as the solution to the generating shortfall. If they are talking about restarting nuclear it is because they need the stable power. Japan can't use a wider multi-country power grid to stabilise fluctuations.
For the capacity figures there are heaps and heaps of examples. The highest ever capacity achieved by an installed turbine for a year is 59%, Ireland has the highest for a country at 21% and China's figures are just over 11%.
Tidal - http://www.tidalelectric.com/h... - from reading this there are very very few installed tidal systems and those that exist are low output. They also seem to have significant environmental impacts. So I will stand by no production level tech.
The simple reason is that wind does not generate enough power. If they were to build out their entire wind potential they would have a max generating potential of 752gw. If we assumed favourable wind conditions you might get to 30% of that figure (that would make it one of the best performing in the world) so 225GW. Currently Japan has c250GW of installed generating capacity so there is basically no overhead if they went all wind and there would be a monumental capital cost to achieve it as 600GW is offshore.
As for tidal there isn't currently a working production level tech that I am aware of. Hydro sits at around 6.6% of their electricity generation but it has been expensive, hence they are not building any more. And they have 18 geothermal plants currently but their contribution to the power grid is almost noise level.
On top of that Japan is an Island so there is no buying power from their neighbours' nuclear powerplants like Germany does with France.
They are 100% importers of their coal. However they have very good coal supply contracts with Australia which provide them with a cheap and reliable supply.

When there is a combined aggregator then yes the problem is solved. But it isn't the same as 9, 10, fox 8 etc as if you have foxtel you have an EPG which lets you browse all the channels you aren't having to log in to one, search, log out, log in to the second, search, log out etc etc.
While you only have 3 or 4 it is fine. But once you start adding more and more providers it starts getting painful.
Fair enough. I had a similar number. I ended up just having a dedicated machine that did it. Pulled the name directly from the dvd / bluray and passed it through handbrake. I would just come in, see the disk was ejected and drop the next one in....
I don't think you will find a provider as it probably counts as commercial breaching of copy protection schemes and I would expect falls foul of any safe harbour / fair use provisions.
It is because with cable you have a centralised interface. You can usually go to the channel guide page, select the show you want and have it record it for you, or at the very lest pop up a notice when your show is about to start. When you are in Netflix you can't see what content is on Hulu or HBO etc. So it makes everything more cumbersome.
At the moment I have a kodi setup on ubuntu which is controlled solely by a remote control plugged into my tv. To get netflix functionality into that essentially means dual booting it and having a kb somewhere near it. The only support for netflix in linux is to run it in a browser so the amount of processor overhead goes up. It gets more and more messy if you want HBO with certain versions of flash not having the DRM signing included.
I appreciate that I can work around all of these issues, but when you have such an easy elegant solution in kodi for offline media it is hard to stomach the drawbacks that the streaming solutions bring.
I would almost be willing to pay a subscription to an aggregation service that gave 1 polished interface for all the services I had signed up to.

Or enough weapons to defend yourself from another nation state either.
Or public education so that your future generations can be better off.
How about "You only run out if everyone stops earning and sometimes it is necessary to redistribute wealth so that society can keep earning"
Including the military?
Not new here and I knew it was a pointless comment but still......
That said I must be kinda new as I don't get your reference to Roman Mir.

I think you only counted US options. Immediately in AUS I add.

I use AnyDVD by Slysoft. It removes the copy protection from the DVD / BR and lets handbrake have full access.
Really? Any particular ones you would recommend?

Interesting. But unfortunately I am in Australia. Which means chromecast suck ass and is completely crippled to the point of being useless.
