So, let's just put another cable to the grid and everything is solved then?

Nuclear could prevent that, but Germany closed even their functional NPPs, let alone planned new ones when it should. How come France emissions are incredibly low and state is self sufficient, even exports a lot...

I think you need more than one day of energy's worth, plus there is a problem with short and cloudy winter days where you'd struggle to generate enough energy let alone store it. I'd be really curious if there are some actual studies that observe past years and calculate all this.

Yep, Nuclear is all you listed above. But OTOH they are reliable and predicatable 24/7.

If the two options are a new nuclear reactor or investment in renewables, than the latter option is faster, more reliable and cheaper.

You sure? Nuclear is reliable, renewables aren't because they depend on weather.

The gaps in renewables could easily be solved with more water reservoirs and battery stations as power storage.

"Easily". Besides corruption, the sheer amount of energy storage required is enormous, there are nowhere enough batteries available nor pumped storage hydropower. Perhaps in the future where sodium and other batteries appear in mass production, but not today.

Edit: also you can't look at average consumption but at peak daily consumption which might be quite higher during winter than summer.

That's true, but governments can quickly change for much worse. No government shall have such mechanisms in place.

[-] Mihies@programming.dev 1 points 2 days ago

Why opposed? The fact that government and agencies control is creeping in western world is scary as well.

I actually swapped battery on one phone and battery+screen on another. Both parts coming from AliExpress, so far, so good. The most annoying part of swapping is removal of the glue, which is tedious.

Usage of both can go down only to some extent. Then what? Germany has no nuclear, where will energy come from during windless nights/cloudy days? France?

[-] Mihies@programming.dev 3 points 2 days ago

Interesting. How come nothing is written about their nuclear power plants?

[-] Mihies@programming.dev 1 points 2 days ago

It's not just loss of privacy, it's also government control which is more problematic IMO.

Also both didn't have another realistic option.

Why are they allowed him to visit in first place?

I'm looking for a front light "for being seen" that can be mounted under K-Edge mount - GoPro adapter. Not looking for something heavier that illuminates the road ahead (thought I might in future). It has to e rechargeable, USB-C preferably and available in EU. Any suggestions? TIA

Well written thoughts on C#12 primary constructors. Sadly they are not really useful. At least for now.

I was always wondering this. Imagine a steep descent. What is better for brake wear - braking constantly or more powerful just at the end? Anybody knows? Goes for both rim and disc brakes

I'm considering Fiido Titan as e-bike for shopping and short distance commuting. It's hilly where I need it. Any thoughts on bike quality or anything else? From a review on YouTube it seems decent enough. TIA

in what shape is Jonas? (programming.dev)

Hopeful Jonas recovered after all the injuries, but I somehow doubt it that he'll be at 100% after those injuries without much time to recover. While I'm rooting for PogRog, I fear a repeat of Giro, where Pog dominated and made it boring to watch. Or perhaps Remco will kick in, but then again he was also injured and didn't do well at Dauphine. What's you take?

Eurosport started sending e-mails that they are discontinuing streaming (premium) service in favor of HBO MAX. Which is much, like 3x more expensive if you happen to watch only bicycling or some other sports and you don't care about other stuff. Even more odd is that they were sending e-mails like a couple of weeks ago that they were just increasing the price. So, that's it for me watching bicycling, I guess. It's been nice while it lasted, then corporate greed took over.
