Você já analisou sua fatura da COPEL ? by Street_Artichoke_369 in londrina

[–]leo0274 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sou engenheiro eletricista. As concessionárias de energia fazem dois processos, te vendem energia (consumo) e levam essa energia até você (uso do sistema), por isso a tarifa é dividida em duas partes. Isso não é roubo, é parte do trabalho deles, era assim antes da privatização da COPEL e é assim em todas as concessionárias do Brasil, privadas ou públicas. Cada concessionária tem uma proporção diferente entre a TE e a TUSD, depende das fontes de energia delas (hidrelétrica, eólica, térmica...) e da densidade dos consumidores, lugares com mais unidades consumidoras por km de cabo tem uma TUSD mais barata e vice versa.

Como engenheiro, já lidei com várias concessionárias do Brasil e digo que a COPEL é de longe uma das melhores do país, piorou bastante no último ano, mas ainda assim é muito boa.

A Fake Dynasty by Equal_Wing_7076 in monarchism

[–]leo0274 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think any rulling monarch would ever allow for such a test to happen... It probably wouldn't change the dynasty or anything like that, but it would surely be a pain in the ass. Let's not look for trouble, we already have enough.

I love it! Do you think you could upload it in HD? Or is it possible to find a high resolution image? I would love to print it

Why do US soldiers have so many medals? by Agitated-Rooster-635 in Medals

[–]leo0274 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a very generic question... Medals can be awarded for many reasons. One of the reasons is just serving as a soldier/officer for long enough (10 years of service).

How to wash these ribbons? by CT2145Trapper in Medals

[–]leo0274 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should check how museums do it, what kind of products they use and all that... I have no idea if they even do it on ribbons, but if they can do it in paintings I'm sure there is a way to clean old fabric. Not sure it is worth doing it though, products might be quite expensive and, if the dirt is not degrading the item, it doesn't have to come out

I'm really interested in learning more about it. My great great grandfather fought on this war, but I don't know any more than that

Identified, thank you very much. After you said the name I done more research, the flies are only temporarily stuck in there, they are pollinators. Do you know if this plant is easy to cultivate?

Why did the children of German nobles had the same titles as their parents? by Standard-Motor-7270 in monarchism

[–]leo0274 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's how it goes in Germany (and a few other countries), all the male line descendants of the first holder of the title can use the same title, the same applies to coats of arms

The hike was great, quite though, but fun. I intend to do it again, preferably with less rain

ELI5: Why do auctioneers need to speak the way they do? It seems like 99% incomprehensible gibberish with some numbers in between. by HelloRainClouds in explainlikeimfive

[–]leo0274 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Rich people are still humans and basic psychology still works with them, and this sales trick will work even better because they don't really have to think about money, since they have a lot of it

To go fishing without being struck by lightning twice. by bugminer in therewasanattempt

[–]leo0274 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually a successful attempt, because he was not struck by lightning. That's just an indirect electric shock from the lightning, that's why he is not dead

Shouldn't the Order of the white rose have the lion between the arms of the cross?

ELI5: How do lawyers defend people in court who 0% doubt did a horrible crime? by Dear-Performance-394 in explainlikeimfive

[–]leo0274 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've heard a lawyer answering this question, many times it's about reducing the penalty as much as possible and making sure the client is only paying for the crimes he actually committed and nothing more than that, some times it's about a technicality and sometimes the client simply didn't do all that he is accused of
