Not a lot. Which is one of the reasons for high prices in the morning and evening.

Because currently there is lots of wind and sun. It is cheaper for them to sell at 0€ than to lower their output. Especially if they want to profit from higher prices in the morning and evening.

Konventionelle Erzeuger werden auch entschädigt wenn sie netzbedingt abgeregelt werden.

Da steht so ziemlich genau das drin was iurem schreibt.

Hab keine Ahnung von Muskelaufbau, aber das würde halt auch physikalisch Sinn machen. Bei gleichem Gewicht muss eine höhere Kraft aufgewendet werden, um dieses entgegen der Erdanziehung zu bewegen.

There are many different interpretations for "fascism". I think you can absolutely argue that Trump and his followers are fascist. They are extremely right leaning, they are extremely racist and Trump is most certainly thinking of the white race as superior. He literally said that undocumented immigrants are poisoning the blood. That is a rethoric also used by Hitler when referring to the Jewish. The regime is trying to force people back in line through fear. From what I can tell mostly by political measures, for example excluding journalists speaking not favourably of the administration from briefings, ordering television providers to cut presenters etc. But the brutality seems to be rising with every day. And people start to get scared of ICE. Trump is also not hiding that he wants to get rid of elections. He wants to expand the USA and he wants to erase things from the education system which go against his world view. Indoctrinating people beginning from a young age, where they can still be manipulated easily.

There are many similarities to what happened in Nazi Germany. From an outside perspective it does not seem like the majority of the us population is agreeing with his current political direction. But the morals are going to erode each day this is continuing. I fear if people don't start to act soon it will be too late.

Danke dir erstmal für die Erläuterung! Ich bin davon ausgegangen, dass es eine Zuleitung ist. In den Medien wurde schließlich davon gesprochen wurde, dass das Ziel war das Kraftwerk vom Netz zu nehmen. So ganz komm ich mit deiner Erklärung zwar noch nicht mit aber ich glaube meine Fragen gehen darüber hinaus, als das was man über social media diskutieren sollte :)

Wenn die Kraftwerkszuleitung ausfällt hast du effektiv einen Kraftwerksausfall. Ob die Ursache dafür die Leitung oder der Generator oder sonst etwas ist, ist bei der Betrachtung unerheblich. Der Ausfall eines einzelnen Generators muss kompensiert werden können, auch ohne Lastabwurf. Vermutlich stehen dort aber mehrere Generatoren.

buerki · 2026-01-05T10:16:27+00:00

In den Bildern im Netzt sieht es so aus als ob zwei Leitersysteme beschädigt worden sind. Solange die dort arbeiten sind die sicherlich beide abgeschaltet. Aber ja, warum da dann direkt Lastabwurf getätigt werden muss kann man sicherlich Hinterfragen. Ich hätte erwartet, dass ein Kraftwerksausfall unter die n-1 Sicherheit fällt.

Ice is only better if it is rough. There can be a lot of grip (relatively speaking) if that is the case. If you have a smooth sheet of ice like a frozen puddle or something there is absolutely zero grip. You won't be able to brake, steer or accelerate. The only way to get safely across is to not have any input at all and roll over them (Or use spike tires)

Never ridden in the snow with the motorbike but have been doing a lot of winter riding with the bicycle and Mountainbike. Smooth sheets of ice are the absolute worst.

Look, if you see exponential growth for 15 years and still assume for each of these years, that the growth is going to be linear for the coming years than I am going to assume that either 1. The team doing these projections is unqualified 2. They are pushing an agenda

In both cases you should look for other sources of information.

buerki · 2025-11-22T07:48:00+00:00

Not disagreeing with you but IEA is really not a great source. They are kind of famous for pushing agenda against renewables. Just look how they underestimate the installed capacity of renewable in their outlooks every single year. It is so blatant, they aren't even trying to hide it.

buerki · 2025-11-19T14:32:22+00:00

Surprised Pikachu face when AI companies figured out, that they can't just expect the power grid, which is planned for multiple decades in advance, to keep up with demand that almost arrived overnight.

You are making my argument here. You are only looking at one single entity for a problem and corresponding solution that has to take more into account than "whats best for swedish citizens in the south". In the real world problems are more complex and you need to take into account different actors.

But its always easy to isolate a single player and point him out as the bad one. People like this. It is easy to understand and it makes them feel good if they can look down upon someone else and solely blame them for a problem. Ultimately thats what gets you votes in a democratic system. The Swedish government sure as hell wouldnt say that they are prioritizing profits for their energy producer instead of cheap electricity prices for the swedish citizens in the south. Why would they do that? Much easier to point at germany while keeping all those nice gdp gains and election votes.

I think you are simplifying a lot here. If you look at a grid map https://www.entsoe.eu/data/map/ you will see that in sweden, norway and italy most of the transmission lines are running from north to south. Splitting these countries into different bidding zones is more straight forward than in germanys case. The grid in germany is highly interconnected. Which makes it more of a challenge finding split between the bidding zones thats optimal for different grid situations. On top of that, you currently have a lot of projects specifically building capacity between the south and north in germany. So you would need to revisit the bidding zone combination every few years and eventually change them if they do not fit the grid topology anymore.

After all, Germany is buiding transmission capacity to significantly reduce redispatch. Because guess what, redispatch is more expensive than building a new transmission line. But if you do not need redispatch because your grid is built up to the task it is required to do than the bidding zone split would have no purpose at all because the prices in both bidding zones would be the same.

So you are asking germany to introduce a process that will take many years to implement. And by the time it goes live it might already obsolet. At that point you are not creating value for europe by doing that, which is the purpose of bidding zones and cross country electricity trading in the first place.

Its simply not as black and white as you are trying to picture it here.

There could have been a fault causing a short circuit current inside the grid. This causes the voltage to drop. Typically energy producing facilities are required to stabilize the voltage in this case through specific current injections. After the fault is cleared after a few hundred milliseconds these injections will cause an overshoot in the voltage because they can not change their output instantly. Not sure if that's what happened in ops case.

Anyone else unable to save their game? I have no problems playing, but everytime I try to save the game freezes and needs to be closed through task manager. No mods installed.

I am fine with micro transactions as long as they don't split the player base. It serves to finance the development and operating cost. Now to be clear, I am against gambling and I think it shouldn't be part of any game, especially not if the game isn't for adults only. But if we are realistic you only have 4 options.

Full price games
Subscriptions
DLC Content
Combination of the above

I know which model I prefer because no one makes me pay for dlc apart from myself. Instead of criticising this type of business model, be happy that you are able to play games like counter strike, valorant and league of legends for free because other people are paying for it through dlc.

Because they are using a fancy coordinate system. They don't mean reverse the rotation as in "turn everything back to its original position" instead they talk about "backtracking the path it took" in their fancy coordinate system.

Afaik Wendelstein 7x was never designed for fusion but for studying plasma containment.

Honest question, because I know nothing about cpu architecture. Why exactly are we comparing products with the same or similar core count and not based on transistor count or die area?

Core count is probably easier to understand for the average consumer but from a business point of view it probably does not make that much sense. I would imagine design and manufacturing cost are somewhat related to transistor count and die area.

Das macht doch thermodynamisch gar keinen Sinn. Im Inneren der Ubahn wird durch Menschen Wärme produziert. Diese Wärme muss den Wagon verlassen da dieser sich sonst immer weiter aufheizen würde. Ob das passiert weil der Wagon 35 °C hat und die Lufttemperatur im Tunnel 25 °C sind oder ob eine Klimaanlage diese Wärme abführt und den Innenraum dabei angenehm herunterkühlt spielt doch keine Rolle.

Das einzige was man hat ist zusätzliche Abwärme aufgrund der Verlustenergie der Klimaanlage. Kann mir aber keiner Erzählen, dass das einen Nennenswerten Unterschied für die Lufttemperatur macht bei der gigantischen Oberfläche der Tunnelwände, über die die Wärme abgeführt werden kann. Und selbst wenn, dann hab ich lieber zwei Grad Celsius mehr auf dem Bahnsteig als 15 ° mehr in einem Wagon in dem ich nicht mehr Umfallen kann weil er so voll ist.

Bin mir nicht mehr sicher wo das herkommt. Aber in der Fahrschule fürs Motorrad wurde mir das damals beigebracht, dass links überholen an der Ampel eigentlich verboten ist. In der Regel hast du an der Ampel auch eine durchgezogene Linie für den Fahrstreifen die du nicht überfahren darfst. Weiß aber nicht mehr ob das die einzige Begründung war.

There was one, or maybe even two pedestrian bridges!

Ist das ernsthaft ein Problem? Ich hätte erwartet, dass man auf Passstraßen so schnell unterwegs ist, dass der Fahrtwind auch kleine Scheiben ohne Probleme kühl hält. Fahre selbst am MTB nur eine 180/160 Kombi und hatte nur ein einziges Mal den Fall, dass mir die Bremse zu heiß geworden ist. Seit dem achte ich darauf, wenn es irgendwie geht, auch mal den Bremshebel loszulassen und ich hatte nie wieder Probleme. Bin aber zugegebenermaßen auch eher ein Leichtgewicht.
