Wind farms are the worst offender IMO
Hey wanna travel to the Windows XP background IRL? Too fuckin bad mate, it's full of big poles
Wanna see the gorgeous coastline in Western Australia? Well, it's already teeming with fans.
Mountain? Sure, put em there too, who gives a damn
I hate to cite Grand Theft Auto V as a source in my argument but... they really did a great job of satirizing wind farms
I'm not anti-clean energy by any means. I just wish there was a way to make these a little less ugly

Alright, I'll join in. I taught high school physics for 10 years and during my first year, they had just "renovated" my classroom. They put in a bunch of computers and caged off the lathe, drill press, and whatnot but put just a bunch of random stuff in there too. Included in that list was a glass Hoffman electrolysis apparatus and a bunch of 12V lantern batteries. You shouldn't leave stuff like that just lying around for me to find.
Not that it had anything to do with what I was teaching at the time (kinematics or something, but I decided to hook up two of the batteries in series and ran it for a while. It produced quite a few bubbles and filled up the hydrogen side pretty quickly. I then showed my class what happens when you put a burning splint at each of the two valves (O2, H2). They thought the 12" tall flame on the hydrogen side was pretty impressive.
What I DIDN'T show them was when I hooked up eight batteries in series (96V DC) during my off period, switched the polarities halfway through the process (producing O2 and H2 in the same container), and then held the splint to the valve and opened it. Luckily the electrodes were attached to rubber stoppers because they absolutely blew out the bottom like a gunshot rather than the glass exploding into my face. There was water all over the batteries (but didn't short them out somehow) and the aluminum electrodes that had been in the glass chambers had completely vaporized.
When I told my students the story, they asked why I hadn't waited for their class period to do that

I have seen a 50ft 4/0 cable make a 60hz sine wave...
Don't cross phases kiddies.

Consumer W - ISP's must display their pricing correctly!

For residential connections in the UK they can't charge you rent or to own the hardware, they can however charge a "bond" which is repayable when you return the equipment. If you have a business connection then they can charge you for the hardware. (Also if they offer multiple hardware options, such as a base model and then a higher end model (think mesh network) they can either offer to sell it to you as an optional extra or rent that extra hardware to you. In practice renting is rarely done any they either sell it to you or give it to you on the bond model as the base hardware but at higher bond. The base model is legally required to be able to operate at the rated speed of the connection no matter what) -
True, I just meant that, if they have an up to date bios currently all DDR5 currently on the market should work. But I suppose clarity is important in these things

The QVL exists more for system integrators than it does the public. It's a way of saying, if you buy X ram with this motherboard it will run at X speed 99% of the time... It's not supposed to be an exhaustive list of every RAM kit out there. It's a buy this one and it will almost certainly work at the speed rated on the QVL, buying something else will 100% work, just sometimes you won't get the rated speed of the ram for whatever reason, but in the modern world it is rare that you can't get the rated speed unless it's a stupid high clock, like 5000mt/s on DDR4 for example ALL DDR5 ram will work on your board, but the only guaranteed speed is JEDEC specs, but in practice it's much less of an issue these days than it was in the ddr3 era because the JEDEC specs are much better than back in the day
