| zxmpi | code yellow wind warning covering all of ireland | 13:04 |
| zxmpi | a few without power as well https://powercheck.esbnetworks.ie/ | 13:05 |
| penguin42 | https://grid.iamkate.com/ wind gen doing well | 13:07 |
| zxmpi | https://www.smartgriddashboard.com/#all same | 13:08 |
| penguin42 | I think we're using your second hand wind | 13:11 |
| zxmpi | we're uk's windbreak | 13:14 |
| penguin42 | you take our wind, and then sell us the electricity you made from it! | 13:14 |
| zxmpi | as a kid i remember throwing handful of gravel off cliffs of moher and watching the stones float up in the wind. https://imgur.com/gallery/5hadtkT | 13:15 |
| penguin42 | nice cliffs; wouldn't get me that close to the edge | 13:16 |
| zxmpi | leaned over the edge with someone sitting on my legs and wind pushing me up while my arms were out stretched. was fun | 13:17 |
| zxmpi | and when you leaned out you could see underneath the overhang you were on and wonder at what point it was going to fall | 13:18 |
| zxmpi | if they ever make a wave power system that can survive the atlantic ireland won't need any fossil fuels | 13:19 |
| penguin42 | zxmpi: There's a few that have got funding for grid connection in the top of Scotland | 13:32 |
| zxmpi | am keeping an eye on those, will be fun to see if they're still in use in 10 years | 13:36 |
| penguin42 | yeh | 13:37 |
| zxmpi | have seen a lot of shiny new equipment put down by sea in harbour where i grew up getting destroyed by a 'bit of weather' | 13:37 |
| penguin42 | they're small but they are on the full grid thing rather than just a test | 13:37 |
| daftykins | zxmpi: ah don't leave us on a cliffhanger! | 13:37 |
| daftykins | :D | 13:38 |
| zxmpi | :-) | 13:38 |
| davef | I don't want to alarm you all, but you might want to hide the Jaffa cakes. | 22:34 |
| daftykins | uh oh - how much time do we have? | 22:35 |
| davef | 3 days | 22:35 |
| daftykins | i'll assemble the channel island jaffa cake protection force | 22:36 |
| daftykins | zxmpi: be sure to inform your government | 22:36 |
| davef | I'll have to go easy on the sweet treats anyway, rest assured, the consumption won't be anything like the last. | 22:41 |
| davef | I have an emergency appointment with the dentist tomorrow. Toothache from the moment I started my Christmas vacation. | 22:42 |
| daftykins | oh was there a hotel / family spare bedroom with you sprawled out and empty boxes strewn everywhere? xD | 22:42 |
| daftykins | oh no! that's murphy's law right there | 22:42 |
| daftykins | hope you get sorted in time | 22:42 |
| daftykins | i'm still deaf in one ear with extreme tinnitus, one month on - had a crazy ear infection after attempts to unclog wax | 22:42 |
| davef | I wasn't hopeful to get an appointment. I don't have a regular dentist, I just went to the nearest dental surgery near the office and begged them to help. | 22:43 |
| davef | Anyway, they've been very accommodating getting me to see the doc. | 22:44 |
| daftykins | you needed some jaffa cake bribery! | 22:44 |
| penguin42 | Mr Pliers has a few vacancies.... | 22:55 |
| * davef shudders | 22:57 | |

| zxmpi | mr. gummy was busy :-P | 23:52 |
