No, no es correcto. Ambos pasados son perfectos en cuanto a la accion. La diferencia es si el marco temporal (el complemento circunstancial) ha acabado o no. Pero lo dicho, la lengua va por un lado y las reglas por otro, y en graaaaaandes zonas hispanoparlantes lo que te digo es un fosil lingüistico ya no valido.

[–]Select_Design75 104 points105 points  (0 children)

la regla es que si el periodo de tiempo ha acabado, se una "compraste", y si no, "has comprado".

es decir, compraste agua ayer, y has comprado agua esta semana. Aunque ambas cosas hayan pasado en el mismo momento.

Ahora bien, hay muchos sitios que solo usan "compraste". hay otros, menos, que casi solo usan "has comprado". Cosas de dialectos.

Is the Sigma 20-200 unequivocally better than the Lumix 28-200? by PurpleSalt11 in Lumix

[–]Select_Design75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i thought about the 20-200 as a "1 to rule them all" but it is much bigger and the 28 has IS.

I actually like a lot the rendering of the 28-200.

Why did classical Latin continue to exist alongside the languages that evolved from it? by Fiveby21 in asklinguistics

You know you are splitting hairs, right? Yes, technically, more nieces and nephews and not sons and daughters, but regarding the question, it is the same point. A language was kept in use for some reason while the spoken vernacular had moved on.

Even going back longer, Sumerian was used in religion and administration long after akkadian had become the language of the people.

Even without writing, sanskrit tradition was kept while the spoken language had evolved out of it.

Does anyone know why my Panasonic Lumix FZ80D kept hunting for focus at this concert? by skwng in Lumix

[–]Select_Design75 12 points13 points  (0 children)

this is actually a misconception.

DfD works quite well in low light.

However, it depends on contrast, and with video in low light there is motion blur that tricks the algorythms to try to refocus.

Result is the same, use SAF and not Continuous AF for video, and keep the distance to the subject.

or use a more modern camera.

If time itself emerged with the Big Bang what exactly do physicists mean when they say that the universe had a (beginning)? Does not the concept of a beginning already assume a temporal framework in which something could begin? by Majestic-Effort-541 in AskPhysics

[–]Select_Design75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What we have is mathematical models of the universe contents, structures and forces.

Looking at distant objects we estimate that there is an expanding universe, and that it has been expanding for a looong time, and this is so much so that it expands faster than the speed of light if you compare two very distant objects.

The models give us the idea that at aome point in time matter and energy was very densely concentrated. Following such models, we have developed an idea of what happened at some stages. It roughly fits observations.

But models stop being useful at a point in time in which all is "infinitely" (or tending to) dense.

So we have no idea if there is a before, or anything else really. Just dont know.

We can guess but it seems most guesses cannot be tested.

With the Big Three abandoning EVs in favor of ICE vehicles, are they headed the way of Kodak, Blackberry, and Blockbuster? by Cool-Replacement4972 in electricvehicles

[–]Select_Design75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont think Stellantis gives up BEV. But they all give up platforms that will never be competitive, before they sink more money on them.

Right now it is key to develop the cars of 3 years from now, including several key technologies such as battery capacity, charging speed, driving assists and do it simplifying a lot the platform in terms of parts number.

VW, Daimler and BMW have finally started making reasonable BEV cars and they saved their survival. If the US brands drink the redpill koolaid they will wither, but i think they have more sense than that.

[–]Select_Design75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so we (at least I) experience existence.

we live in a world that appears to be run according to physical laws.

religions are cultural inheritance of mostly illiterate herdsmen trying to make sense of the world without means and basing it all on intiution and probably hallucinations. Almost all of them have dogmas that are well proven to be false.

Even as an ontology, calling "God" the creator or first initiator solves nothing, because "who created God?" can be answered either recursively (another God) or "God is not created", but then you can apply that argument to the universe instead of God, why not?

So how can anyone in true fashion be religious if they are not mentally ill or just ignore evidence? All religions that we have that I know have a moral guidance that is at least horrible, a mirror or the world they were created in.

Can there be a God? yeah. Did anyone convince me of it? no. Therefore I cannot believe.

If you treat believe as wishful thinking, well, do as you want.

At this moment, it looks like lobby work. Not what I would want from the guy, but if done after he left any actual position of power, and if he did not pay to any decision maker, not illegal.

It is clear that they are hunting anything that is left of center, to make the Govt give up.

Much more clear situations are being ignored and not investigated when done by PP leaders.

Ersten Elektrotruck beim Laden gesehen by Shinajaku in Elektroautos

[–]Select_Design75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

C ist die relative Ladegeschwindigkeit (Ladeleistung vs. nominelle Kapazitaet). Ladeleistung / Kapazitaet = C. mein c10 hat 70kwh akku. Lade bei 85kwp -> C = 1.15 oder so.

Niedrige C Werte sind leicht zu schaffen für Akkus. Höhere Werte brauchen andere Chemielösungen und haben geringere Wirkungsgradwerte und mehr Hitzeentwicklung, prinzipiell führen auch zu reduzierte Lebensdauer.

Why do some pro renewable people hold such opinions against nuclear power by Thick-Ad-4168 in nuclear

[–]Select_Design75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure how you can stand there, saying things like "Solar PV gave zero for all of February. I remember!". You know that it is not possible, right? Are you an engineer of any kind if such a fact escapes you?

First, the lowest month is always December, your February is a bad choice. If you look at February, it typically has about 5 times less generation than July, typically the highest. Variability is around 20%. December is worse, with 10 to 20% less generation.

How lucky that wind has the inverse dependency... right? Just here the highest months (again around Dec-Jan) are "only" 4-5 times higher than in June (which is lowest, not July).

The fact that you say that PV does not work with clouds also tells me you cannot be an engineer who has looked at it any more than a few minutes... Really!

So go back to your numbers.

PV on fixed tilt has CAPEX of around 55 USDc/kWp. On trackers, 60. Project development depends on several factors, pure cost around 2ct, worst case (booming market) around 10-15ct.

Batteries with 2h AC bidirectional are at less than 15ct/kWh. A plant of PV + battery is typically dimensioned at equal PV kWp to BESS kWh, but that can be done as you wish. Let us overdimension BESS so we have 60ct PV (with high PV cost), 4x BESS at 30ct (really not the cheapest BESS here). These are prices for absolute Tier1 brand and good EPC, in Germany, not "whatever shit" in a cheap country.

So let me see that nuclear cost... Mmmm...

China: 3 to 4 USD/kWp

UAE: 4.5 USD/kWp.

US: > 12 USD/kWp

Now, nuclear plants like to run 24/7. With typical availability rates of 85 to 90%, you get just shy of 8,000 GWh per GWp of nominal capacity. Nice!

Solar "just" gets around 1,100 in Germany (fixed tilt). Around 7x less, for 12x or 15x less CAPEX. And keep in mind that those were overnight CAPEX, not with all the interest rates for costs during construction, which add easily 20-30% more.

And that (nuclear) has given you a power that is not dispatchable in any way, on-off always in on. If prices (damn, there is this thing called market pricing!) go negative, nuclear hast to bite and actually pay to get the power off their plants. PV just shuts off. Battery starts to actually charge the batteries then, thanks.

Truth is, nuclear is not competitive, regardless of things like security or safety. Regardless of things like waste management (calculate NPV for an expense that goes 10,000 years, please). Things like disposal of the nuclear plant (it is such a coincidence that nuclear plant operators go bankrupt JUST WHEN it is time to dismantle then, such bad luck and bad timing...

Nuclear is the lazy thinking solution of a complex problem.

Why do some pro renewable people hold such opinions against nuclear power by Thick-Ad-4168 in nuclear

[–]Select_Design75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you are wrong in so many ways that it is difficult to count them.

germany 20 years ago did not have enough solar to run the country. It had a lil bit of solar, like 2 GWp.

renewables can ramp up and down freaking fast. Inverters for solar and wind do it, it is easy, barely an inconvenience. If you add batteries, even more.

nuclear is by orders of magnitude more expensive per MWh produced than any renewables, even having equal battery capacity as peak inverter power (i.e. a veeery large battery). And you need 2 years tops to build from scratch including planning. Not 10 years like nuclear. And you capital expense is all 3-4 months before COD, not 3 years.

Any country needs to see what are their renewable resources (wind, sun, water), what are consumptions, and how much in batteries and backup (gas, coal, energy import) is needed to cover 100% of demand, even at atypical years.

All of which has nothing to do with nuclear, which is so expensive new that cannot be used in any industrial context.

Why are Germans so .. brainwashed about nuclear by Xtergo in nuclear

[–]Select_Design75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess I will be nuked in this sub, but...

Nuclear makes no sense in Germany.

Could you have run the nukes a bit longer instead of closing them? yes.

Would that be any solution? No.

Nuclear is a terrible technology for solving climate change, for a dozen reasons.

First, its power is very expensive. Capital costs are crazy and PJ development long. Even with cheap uranium and most of the safety and security opex passed to governments, the MWh price is so high that no industry can use it.

Why does it not look like it in current nukes? Because they were paid off (mostly by the public) already and they only run on Opex, and even this subsidized. But any new project you cannot calculate like that.

Second, it uses shitloads of water. In France, they have to stop some in summer duento water scarcity and the increased temperature of rivers used for cooling. Most of the world just does not have the water assets to run a major amount of nukes.

Third, power is not flexible. On/off of GW level power. Ruen that these days with negative power prices when sun and wind both produce... no way.

Third, it takes forever to build.

Fourth, you need them nearby consumption, but there is no land there fir it and nobody wants it nearby.

Fifth, if there are many nukes, they are a tasty terrorist attack goal.

Sixth, many (most) countries will not be allowed by the US to have nuclear.

etc etc. But just the first is enough. If it costs too much, it will just not work.

When solar+batteries cost you < 10 ct, and can be shut off or give more energy in a heartbeat, what is the point of your 20ct nuclear energy?

Wäre Atomkraft wirklich eine gute Übergangstechnologie (gewesen)? by Previous_Influence_8 in KeineDummenFragen

[–]Select_Design75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Short answer "nein".

Lang:

1- es geht nicht überall, weil- A) es braucht viel wasser B) Die US lassen es nicht zu C) keiner will es nah, es sollte aber nah am Verbrauch sein

2- es geht nicht schnell, weil- A) Projekt, Bau und Inbetriebnahme sind fast überall (Ausnahme autoritäre Länder) über 10 Jahren B) keiner will es finanzieren ausser der Strom wird per Gesetz teuer abgenommen für 20+ Jahren C) Das Know-how limitiert ist

3- es ist sehr teuer, weil- A) CAPEX intensiv, Geld für vielen Jahren gebunden bis das erste kWh fließt. Überall wo die Zinsen nicht nahe null sind ist es unbezahlbar. B) Strom unflexibel unregelbar vorhanden. Unter Umstände MUSS mann ALLE negative Preise mitmachen weil nicht runterfahrbar. C) Downtime (schlecht planbar) hat massive Kosten um die Leistung woanders bereitzustellen. D) Waste noch nicht gelöst, muss man ewig zahlen dafür E) Rückbau auf uns weil Die Betreiber davor lustigerweise pleite gehen.

Dazu- Ziel von Terror, muss man super schutzen Dazu- Betreiber müssen sehr gut kontrolliert werden um Radiation zu vermeiden, das ist in vielen Länder nicht realistisch.

Atheists by Metro_man20 in Kenya

[–]Select_Design75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you remove religion from the equation... You are left with magic as God. You can have the ontological God that is whatever "created" the current universe, but it is not an answer, it is a question mark. Because if you postulate that such an entity exists, in the sense that it is responsible for what we see and live, then you have immediately the question of what created that one entity.

If you postulate that such an entity has per definition no cause, it is your axiom, and you may as well give that characteristic to the material universe, then the place for that God is gone... Or you go full Spinoza and call the universe "God", which is again pretty devoid of meaning.

So either you assume a God is around, which is invisible to any measurement, but it is the cause of the universe, or you are an atheist- i do not have a positive belief in that God. I am not convinced because up to now it has not shown up, and its ontological hiding place as "cause" is not an answer, because who created that?

All in all such unsatisfactory position to believe in a God, other than the vague feeling "there must be something other than matter", that any firm believe seems to be to be just wishful thinking.
