@Hoss dang, this post got 4 replies pretty much instantly

@PNS I heard that you should have a number of litter boxes that matches the number of cats you have, plus one. ??

@Richard @Cosmic yes.

not really surprising, though. It's been obvious for quite some time that he's been sick.

@eriner @Richard @Cosmic
wtf r u talking about, Willis ?

dear stablehorde, please generate me an image of a Panzerkampfwagen V Panther, except it's made of poop.

it should have the graphics of the noauthority.social favicon stenciled on the side

it's an idiotic practice

@WandererUber
>> In contrast, THIS ENTIRE THREAD is "pointing to renewables" as the sole cause

No, it isn't. That's your sensitivities causing you to be reactive.

Just like you using the intentionally pejorative "fossil generators".

I have been the one trying to make the point that the grid is the problem. You started out blaming "fossil generators"

@WandererUber
>> "they built renewable and therefore the grid crashed"

no.

they built renewables because of the changing political environment, without considering the consequences from a larger engineering perspective.

>> It *is* a grid problem but you kept inserting things about how it's still renewables fault.

No, I didn't.

My point the entire time, from the beginning, was about poor decision making due to political considerations.

> solar panels can immediately respond to spikes in demand

ridiculous. You can't increase the amount of sunlight falling on solar panels.

a response time in hours is fine. This would never have been in the news if they'd been able to respond in hours.

@KeepTakingTheSoma

@WandererUber
You are misinterpreting that.

That is a situation they understood, happened on a quite regular basis, and could easily plan for.

@Humpleupagus @cough

@Humpleupagus
Yes and no.

We've seen problems like this going back to the '70s. And it has nothing to do with "fossil" or "renewable".

It has to do with the fragility of the grid, and how bringing a power station back onto the grid suddenly can trip all the safety features which causes a cascade of failures to being with.

The problem with "renewables" is that you don't have the flexibility to "pour on the coal" to make up for losses due to losing one of your plants

fucking package managers.

>> which is apparently very difficult.

the point is that the same people making decisions about inclusion of "renewable" in the grid are the same morons responsible for mis-managing a grid with no understanding of how difficult it is to do a "black start" after everything goes haywire due to an overly interconnected grid.

@WandererUber No.

The grid is fragile because the grid is fragile.

Your thesis depends on the idea that there are no constraints or restrictions places on Spanish grid engineers (and other engineering types) by EU politicians.

The immediate "cause" of the failure isn't the issue. The inability to recover is the issue.

this is awesome

with propane you'd avoid the ash problem, but then you have to deal with refills

@lina you rescued your own schizo thread by ending it with truth and common sense.
