That’s not Wanksy (although he is a wanker). This is wanksy

I’d be shocked if somebody produce evidence showing that for once Boris behaved with integrity and to a high ethical standard.

Nah, I just don’t understand idiots.

I asked a fairly simple question to tomtits. Quite why you felt the urge to inject your thoughts as a response, going as far as explaining what tomtitis said on their behalf, is rather baffling. Jog on, will you.

Do you mean flag waving is always about racism?

Thanks for an interesting answer. It baffles me that you are being downvoted.

As a wise meme I saw the other day stated, worrying about things works: 95% of the things I worry about never happen!

Shrinkflation annoys me deeply, and even more so when they try to hide. Which would be most cases. Package looks the same, volume is conveniently where you don’t notice it, the price might be only slightly higher, but you get 20% less.

I had a brutally busy week at work. To make things worse, I needed to travel for a conference on Sunday, so I got only half a weekend. Sigh.

No doughnuts here, strictly tea and biscuits.

GOOD TO KNOW!

Few people know that the IKEA floor planner is a physicist who has access to additional dimensions.

Perhaps one of the Thames Water executives could join him for a swim, just to show the natural beauty of the rivers they are the guardians of.

Cheers! Yes, I use Home Assistant for automations.

I forgot to add that I’m with Octopus Energy. Their Octopus Go plan offers great rate overnight and is not too bad during the day at lest in our area. Their free energy sessions have also been in active use: battery charge, EV charge, immersion heater and sauna stove being on simultaneously does put the house electrical system to a test!

My aim is to use as much of the solar energy I produce myself, so I’m not bothered about exporting energy.

Solid advice right here.

I have 13.5 kWh battery storage that I charge overnight with cheap electricity if needed. During winter I could do with more storage.

I control charging of the battery (and EV) automatically based on expected solar production the following day, which I estimate using a forecast model I re-train couple of times per week based on latest data. The model uses Met Office weather model forecast for our area as input. Most days it’s accurate to within 1 kWh.

I have 16 LG panels spread so that they produce almost from sunrise to sunset + 5 kW inverter. This has worked really well. There is plenty of power to run air conditioning in the summer and even charge the EV, but winter months are meh. Sunny summer day: 25-30 kWh, winter 1-5 kWh.

Did you use specific docs for this? I have SolarEdge and wouldn’t mind going local with them too. I’ve got off most cloud services, but this one persists.

And then you can return to work with reinvigorated resentment. Sorry to hear about your predicament, though.

It’s been rather hot and I needed to get some painting done. That was not ideal. Otherwise good.

What about you?

I have four installed units, which have plenty of cooling power to keep the house nice and cool. On sunny summer days our solar panels produce excess electricity anyway, so cooling the house comes free.
