I've been trying to up my cooking game a bit lately. This is supposed to be "vegan pepper steak"... At least it's colourful. I'm hampered by a lack of access to "soy curls" that the recipe calls for. This was my first attempt a few months ago.

Ambiguous use of the term "wicket" is not the only abused term in that sport. For example, here is how the terns "in" and "out" are used (excuse the sexism, its about 50 years old): The rules of cricket are quite simple... You have two sides, one out in the field and one in. Each man that's...

The second. The cables and transformers can't cope with the load. Generation is ok for now, but may become a problem during times of low renewable power as the state's brown coal generators need more and more maintenance to keep them going. That's until enough batteries are installed. We have...

Speaking of conspiracy theories, and getting back to the BYD fire, my YouTube feed has plenty if videos on how BYD got to be the number one EV maker in the world with a lot of support from the Chinese government. And that the support has largely dried up a few years ago, and as a result BYD has...

There may be something to it. In parts of Melbourne, Australia, they are having low voltage issues recently. Supposedly all the people converting from natural gas to electricity for their homes due to the surge in gas prices is overwhelming the low voltage electricity network. A lot of that...

Actually click on "Forums" (main part, not the drop-down arrow) to take you to an index page with all the forums and subforums.

I think I might have bought this first as a cassette (see ancient history), but re-bought it as a CD. It's called "I Robot", their second studio album. It started a lifelong love of The Alan Parsons Project and then Alan Parsons on his own. I think his band is unique in being guided by an audio...

There is also the Lytton refinery in Brisbane, that so far hasn't caught fire. Though the month isn't over yet... 😜 But I think that these two refineries only supply about 20% of Australia's refined fuel. The rest comes from refineries overseas, mainly Asia. The other six or so refineries...

D'ya mean 90min? Terry in SA? Or on move?

That's very stable genius to you 😉 To be fair, what's left of the White House has clarified that only ships to and from Iranian ports (such ships of any and all countries) will be blockaded. Though Iran is still a fairly major oil producer, so that will have an effect on global oil supplies...

Cold overnight here.

The early ZS EVs (pre hybrid and pre face lift) don't regen with ACC. The power meter just stops dead at zero, and doesn't go negative, until you cancel ACC, then regular regen allows for negative acceleration. Speed is controlled by friction braking only, when ACC is active. I still own a pre...

We have a similar effect in software engineering, sometimes called "creature feep".

I think Alb feels that the ACC is too jerky to beat a human driver aiming for low energy consumption, even on the models (hopefully all recent models) that use regen to correct over-speed when ACC is active. With the right software/firmware, I think that ACC would indeed be able to beat most...
