Actually, I looked up "lobscouse" and it's a stew of meat and vegetables traditionally eaten by sailors (with pilot bread). Despite the name, it looks like it could be good.
In that case, good sir, I applaud your good natured support of solar energy. I should also thank you for the $10,000 subsidy I received for buying my electric car.
The International Monetary Fund has done several studies of fossil fuel subsidies. The latest update is here: https://www.imf.org/external/n... "Energy subsidies are estimated at US$5.3 Trillion for 2015, or 6.5% of global GDP."

I thought I did thank you in the first line of my post. I will take this opportunity to thank you directly and personally for your support of solar energy and the $7000 tax credit I received. Thank you, good sir. You are a gentleman.
"We get by with a little help from our friends" Compared with the public subsidy of fossil fuels ($5 trillion a year), renewable subsidies are a rounding error. (Google it) If you're worried about your money going to waste, take a look at the fossil fuel companies. That's where it's going.
Nuclear and hydroelectric plants are large and when they go offline, it's a big shock for the grid. Solar and wind are widely distributed, small installations and a single point of failure has little effect. It's pretty much impossible to have a large scale failure of wind and solar (renewables are a distributed network kind of like the Internet). Much more reliable and predictable.
My experience with solar in the mountains of California is this: - 4kw system - generated $1256 worth of electricity last year (76% of my use) - ROI of 7.3 % (I borrowed money at 2.2% to pay for the system so this is a good return) - I'll be installing another 2kw this year - this year it should give me a better ROI since the power company is raising rates by 7%
States with higher percentage of renewables (wind and solar) have lower electric costs. Nevada electric prices have been dropping so much that Warren Buffet's owned Nevada Energy had been sabotaging solar by bribing the governor and the state's PUC. Seven of the largest casinos in Las Vegas are threatening to leave NV Energy and rely on much cheaper solar and wind energy. The PUC wants to charge them $127 million to leave. Texas now offers free electricity at nights because they have excess wind power. Colorado is good to get rid of coal but stupid to not install wind and solar.
There were signs that diesels weren't as clean as they were advertised (and VW was found to be actually cheating) when the actual NOx emissions measured in cities were rising much faster than the models using the manufacturers emission numbers predicted. Probably a good idea to do both measurements.
VW "cheat" software was designed to fool emissions testing by sensing when it was being tested and go into the "clean emissions" mode (which was less efficient but cleaner). VW was finally busted by real world testing (which nobody does routinely). Some green advocacy group wanted to show Europe how green the VW cars were in the US and commissioned a series of tests which ended up busting VW.
In some countries, surgeons are trained in a separate course from physicians. The surgeons focus on surgery skills (and the physiology, pharmacology, etc. necessary during surgery) and they don't train for the far broader set of skills required for differential diagnosis and management of disease. This results in better surgeons who don't spend a lot of time learning skills they will never use. You can train people in surgery skills fairly quickly. I am licensed as a "Physician and Surgeon" (California) which is typical in the US but not necessarily in the rest of the world.
The article has this insight: Of course, we’ve seen so many boards touted as Pi-killers, and like all those also-ran tablets touted as iPad killers a few years ago we’ve never heard of most of them again after a brief moment of chatter. They look so good on paper but the price always lets them down. The C2 could just escape that fate though, its $40 price point is very close to that of the Pi 3. Setting aside for a moment how much shipping and customs might cost for a package from Korea, that sounds interesting to us. Why might you buy a C2 then, and why might you buy a Pi 3? That the C2 has a much faster processor is beyond doubt. This and its faster wired networking would make it a much more interesting prospect for anyone whose work involves network-attached data processing. But even though a USB wireless network adaptor can be had for only a few dollars the Pi 3’s onboard wi-fi and Bluetooth makes it much more attractive to a home user or someone using a computer on a platform unfettered by wires. However impressive the C2 may be it is overwhelmingly likely that the Pi 3 will outsell it many times over. This will not just be due to the massive publicity advantage achieved by the Pi Foundation, but the huge ecosystem of hardware and software developers that have made the Pi boards perform to the limit of their abilities in all directions. If you don’t mind forgoing that support though, you could just find that the board from Korea gives you enough extra bang for your buck to make having it on your bench worthwhile.

I don't know why they even pretend this is for humanitarian use. The money is in war and killing people.

Sounds great! I would like to subscribe to your cooking blog.

I think you need a better understanding of "reliability".

Yes! You've come up with a good solution.
How would you do this without algebra?
Here's another one (probably not available to you either).

Shirley can view it in HTML. OTOH, you may not be able to figure it out.
I have two of them on my desk.
Do you have a Pi Zero yet?
They needed a high level official report to figure this out?
