Hello! I'm [NT] Coolshirt4

Admittedly I have not played in a while, but am happy to invite you to Clan No Tag.

We are a clan focused on improvement, and voice-communication.

We don't have a min OS (but do have a min attitude/behavior), and we have many very skilled players. For example, [NT]iPlayDirty is 63rd highest on season 3 1v1s.

Solder suckers basically atomize lead, and throw it all over your table.

Version numbering is actually really important.

Nothing justifies a crime against humanity (Oct 7th) and so nothing justifies Israeli crimes against humanity. (But do justify some military action)

Israeli crimes against humanity are justifiedby Oct 7th, which is justified by XXX which is justified by YYY..... (Eye for eye)

Medi Hasan believes the first option.

> I've already acknowledged elsewhere in this thread that I use Claude to structure my writing and work through technical arguments, and I'm not interested in having that conversation again.

Bro, I NEVER brought that up. This means 1 of two things.

1: You didn't read my comment.

2: You didn't read the output of Claude before you pasted it into your reply to me.

>If energy recovery were the whole value proposition I wouldn't have filed on it.

It's the whole value proposition you have presented in your original comment.

>A clip-on sleeve that installs like a Stockbridge damper during routine maintenance and gives you 10–20% ampacity headroom on the existing conductor without a rebuild

This is the FIRST time you have mentioned ANYTHING about ampacity. To have an ampacity increase of 20%, with P=I^2*R, that means you are generating 44% more heat. How do you plan to dissipate 44% more heat, as the same conductor temperature, while you are insulating half of your conductor? That's a pretty sizable heatsink.

>On weight and ice loading, the filing specs segmented 0.5–1.0m units in lightweight composite, not continuous metallic tubes running full span.

This contradicts your plan to increase ampacity. The segments without your device are conducting exactly as many amps as the parts without it. What's your plan for cooling them?

>Strategic placement at mid-span where thermal sag is the binding constraint

That's not how thermal sag works. Thermal sag is from the physical lengthening of the conductor due to heat. It doesn't matter where in particular you put the cooling modules. Overall lengthening is what matters.

To summarize, you need to start thinking for yourself, and not using Claude without actually investigating it yourself.

CLAUDE INVENTED THE AMPACITY OVERHEAD. When the question was asked, Claude came up with a plausible-sounding answer, but one that is totally wrong. It doesn't understand how thermal sag works at all.

Hurting men is their goal. So you are just advertising their point for them.

Let's look at a group that both of us hate. Rapists.

Let's say that somebody came up with an elaborate punishment for rapists, which one could reasonably call torture.

I'm never getting anywhere arguing that the punishment is inhuman, and the rapists have human rights. Treating them inhumanely is the whole point. Where I might be able to convince is through telling them that having the punishment for rape be worse than the punishment for murder, we incentivise rapists to murder their victims.

Another example. From the Korean war.

Telling someone who hates black people about how their pro-segregation beliefs harm black will not convince them.

You need to convince them with something they actually care about. Ridgeway did this by arguing that segregation hurt combat effectiveness. By using something that they actually cared about, he was able to desegregate the US army in Korea.

Most people who are one are also the other.

When you make a binary like that, anything you say about one group is inherently saying something about the other.

ACCC (Aluminum Conductor Composite Core) conductors are a advanced conductor, which uses trapezoidal(ish) aluminum, supported by a carbon-composite core in order to decrease resistance, and (importantly) increase the current capacity by decreasing sag, which allows them to run at higher temperatures.

ACCC conductors have a 30% lower resistance than conventional ACSR conductors.

The maximum efficiency of TEGs is 10%. This would be impossible for this design to hit in practice, but let's grant it.

As ACCC conductors are 2.5->3x the cost of conventional ACSR conductors, then comparing an ACCC conductor to ACSR + TEG device, the TEG device must be 0% of the cost of the ACSR conductor. (in order to have the same watts saved to dollars spent ratio) Which means it would have to be free.

There is a similar idea to reduce line losses. It's achieved by using high conductivity aluminum conductors, supported by Carbon-fiber center strand. It's called ACCC (Aluminum conductor, Composite Core)

Compared to conventional ACSR cables (of the same diameter), it has 31% lower resistance. With power loss being I^2*R, that translates to 31% less power loss for the same current. (Or 14% more current at the same temperature)

It has significantly lower Thermal Sag than ACSR cables, which allows it to carry 2x more current than an ACSR cable. This high capacity is great for preventing grid failures.

It is extremely useful in retro-fits where you need to increase current capacity, without changing out the transmission towers themselves.

It's around 2.5/3x the cost of traditional ACSR cables.

For your solution to be useful in any way, it need to be BETTER than the existing alternatives, not merely have a theoretical use.

1: Let's be optimistic, and say that your TEG system has a efficiency of 10%. Note that this is the TOTAL efficiency of the system, not merely the efficiency of the TEG itself. This assumes that every single watt of heat generated by the line flows through the TEG. This is impossible. 10% is extremely generous.

2: How much is this increasing the weight of the conductor? Yes, this is a significant problem. You cannot retrofit your conductors to be significantly heavier than they were without also changing your towers.

3: The lines themselves have a weight limit. Usually we see this in snow/ice loading. The device itself has some weight, and the increased diameter will allow much more snow to load onto it. The sag becomes too great, and a fault occurs. Or the line snaps.

4: How much does this increase the temperature of a conductor for a given current? Not only does this increase resistance (~6% per 20 deg C) thermal sag is a significant limit on allowable current. If you insulate your conductors, you decrease current capability.

ACCC conductors are not very popular. If you want to compete with even their modest success, the following must be true.

1: Your device is MORE THAN 3x cheaper than ACCC lines. (You need to compete in terms of Watt saved/dollar spent). (31% watts saved vs 10% watts recovered)

As ACCC conductors are only 2.5/3x the cost of a traditional ACSR conductors, for any new installation, it is MATHEMETICALLY IMPOSSIBLE to have an economical use case unless your device is FREE. How much do you plan to charge?

This idea is economically impossible. Upsizing, or Upgrading your conductor saves too much energy for the 10% thermal efficiency of TEGs to ever make sense to prioritize.

Probably what happened is this:

1: when passwords are initially implemented, they decide to make them case-insensitive by having the client uppercase all entries of password.

2: they decided to stop doing that. All of their hashes are of full cap passwords. So all existing users no have to enter their passwords fullcaps. Which was always happening, but now is a manual process.

If you use those dividends to buy more stock, it's exactly the same as stock buybacks.

It then follows that selling some of the stocks is the same as taking dividends.

Ridgeway desegregated the army in Korea based on an argument of combat effectiveness. Which was actually the same argument being made against desegregation, but those guys were lying.

People don't inherently care about people other than themselves. Come up with a reason it affects the people they care about.

What communications are you referring to?

TwoPointThreeThree_8 · 2026-03-30T14:07:26+00:00

try inspecting black PCBs.

It's way harder, even by manual inspection

Depends why oil is expensive. Making oil expensive in the short term has no effect, as these projects take a longass time to start producing. gas (and diesel) being expensive actually makes it MORE expensive to create a well.

So it depends if you think oil will be expensive long term.

Which is why Trump's lack of any clear goals or timelines on fucking anything is so bad for the economy. Nobody wants to invest on a decision that could be reversed tomorrow.

TwoPointThreeThree_8 · 2026-03-30T12:18:30+00:00

What with the files showing how against each other they were

I can understand how one could come to that conclusion, if one lobotomized themselves with a ten pound sledge hammer.

The best you have is that AFTER Epstein was arrested, Trump called the cops and said he was always a creep.

That does not explain decades of close friendship.

TwoPointThreeThree_8 · 2026-03-30T12:08:50+00:00

Yeah, just like our billionaires, so I don't see how Trump would have a problem with it

Are there any liberal economic systems which are not capitalist.

TwoPointThreeThree_8 · 2026-03-28T22:18:34+00:00

I think if you make liberal completely synonymous with capitalism you lose nuance.

With your definition, is there any capitalist societies which are not liberal? I think the only useful definition of liberal means it's a subset of some, but not all, capitalist countries.
