| daftykins | good morning campers! | 10:03 |
|---|---|---|
| zxmpi | o/ | 13:00 |
| daftykins | my my, island wide power dip a moment ago - every client UPS reported in | 13:01 |
| zxmpi | this winter has seen 2 powercuts so far. most ever in time i've been in dublin barring the strike of leccy workers | 13:03 |
| daftykins | :O | 13:04 |
| daftykins | had a few a year when i was a lad! | 13:08 |
| zxmpi | to be expected on an island i supose. house i grew up in was 2min walk from a hospital and on same circut so when power went out for rest of town we still had it | 13:11 |
| daftykins | ooh nice | 13:11 |
| daftykins | yeah we used to be run from the local oil/petrol/diesel maybe power station only, but there's the undersea link cable to France nowadays | 13:12 |
| zxmpi | yeah, ireland is looking to link up with france as uk power is less reliable these days | 13:18 |
| zxmpi | ireland is still of course anti nuke power | 13:19 |
| daftykins | not sure on my thoughts on that one, only seems to go wrong when greediness weighs in / regulatory fails | 13:26 |
| zxmpi | i remember the protests when ireland considered nuke power plant in 70s-80s. we just didn't trust government enough to put real lead in radiation shielding. still don't :-) | 13:29 |
| zxmpi | we have a tonne of untapped wind, solar, water, wave i'd like to see before we dabble with nuke. nuke has come on a long way but still bad when accidents happen | 13:32 |
| daftykins | wow that good eh? is it even that expensive o0 | 13:32 |
| zxmpi | you know what the scrap value of lead is? it'd be gone in a month :-P | 13:32 |
| daftykins | not a clue! | 13:35 |
| zxmpi | that and our government likes going with lowest bidder on such things. it's why we're having power cuts right now. | 13:54 |
| daftykins | mmm that figures | 13:58 |
| zxmpi | i swear if russia were offering a free chernobyl style reactor to anyone who picked it up we'd find government wanting it | 14:07 |
| daftykins | can't think of a better documented design ;D | 14:09 |
| zxmpi | as long as you don't run safety tests on it, sure what could go wrong? | 14:12 |
| daftykins | we'll call 'em "unsafety" tests! | 14:22 |
| zxmpi | brilliant! that's the type of management we expect | 14:23 |
| daftykins | i've been known to drink Guinness, what more do i need to get a job in Irish gov? ;) | 14:28 |
| zxmpi | a dad in irish governemnt | 14:30 |
| zxmpi | really helps | 14:30 |
| daftykins | hmm, well my cat is my child! | 14:32 |
| daftykins | oh right that way around | 14:32 |
| daftykins | derp | 14:32 |
| zxmpi | yeah but cats are communists, well known that :-P | 15:59 |
