Not a friend/follower/mutual and I haven't lived in Tartu in years but I spent my youth there and adore the town!

I used to spend all my time at Ruunipizza (restaurant), which is very close to the town hall and university and used to be decent, cheap and have plenty vegetarian options. But that was years ago and very much a place for students to go and hang out at, so Idk if that's something

Me and my American friends also liked La Dolce Vita for pizza back then. There's also a great place for cake opposite the university called Werner and the Gunpowder Cellar is a pretty cool pub.

In my opinion, the most important attraction in Tartu is the giant wooden swing (külakiik) in Supilinn but that might be personal preference. I am also a big fan of the AHAA keskus (science exhibition with planetarium) and I believe the museum of toys (mänguasjamuuseum) is a hidden gem if you have some time to spare. There is also a botanical garden in Tartu that I liked to hang out at. Sometimes they even have special activities; I remember building a bird house for winter there once :)

Definitely try to catch some folk music and/or dancing performance while you're in Estonia, they're really special!

I am taking notes about food recommendations! Cake is always good! And the Gunpowder Cellar looks fascinating! (Who wouldn't want to have a drink in, well, an ancient gunpowder cellar? Sign this history nerd up :D :D )

We have managed to get ballet tickets, as well! I am hoping I will have some time around conference panels to go exploring; the weather should be nice enough in May, right? Not too cold? Awesome Husband will probably also do some exploring without me, too. (He likes sci-fi, but he is not an academic - an engineer, instead! - so being in a room full of scholars Loudly Discussing the scholarship of science fiction is not entirely his thing, at least not for four days worth! He'll come to my panel though.)

For anyone wondering, we shall be in Tartu, Estonia in early May - around the 7th-11th! For the International Science Fiction Research Association Conference, at the university.

We've never been to Estonia, so we are excited! We're actually flying into Helsinki a day (and a night) early and spending a day in Finland, because we have also not been there, and then taking the ferry over. :D :D

The hate for Sansa is genuinely so depressing. I was browsing the HotD subreddit and the topic was favourite queens. Not only was Sansa barely mentioned by anyone, but the usual hateful comments like "fuck Sansa" and "better not catch anyone saying Sansa" finished it off. I find the hatred to be so vicious and vile. Why can't they just stop being so obsessed with her? It's a legit fandom ruiner for me.

The saddest thing is, that by hating Sansa, they are hating GRRM:

And more ; more ; more ; more ; more & more . . . .

Interviewer: Let's talk about Lord Stark. At first he appears to be a classic hero, the Heinlein-style competent man. He's the guy who knows how to do things, but eventually he screws up. He underestimates the enemy. Your heroes make mistakes too.

George: Yes, they do. Stark is a character who is very concerned about his honor. He's a good man and an honorable man, but in some ways that is a drawback. He's in his element when he's in his own land, the North, where he rules as almost a king without a crown. He's not in his element in the pit of political intrigue and infighting and the complex network of alliances and betrayals that's going on at King's Landing. But history is full of people like that, honorable men who wanted to do right, but weren't quite up to it. That doesn't necessarily mean they were stupid, sometimes the very virtues that we admire in men make them less able to be politically astute.

Near the end of this excellent 'Cyberpunk as Clothes' article there is some insightful stuff about the FALN techwear that Cuno wears (but the whole thing is worth a read):

I feel very seen / somewhat skewered by that particular section of the piece :o

i loveee the clothing design in disco elysium so much it's honestly the aspect of the game im most directly artistically inspired by because I've never before seen a (somewhat) realistic media in which every rando still serves cunt. kim k's perfect form that came seemingly just god himself on the first try. all the outfits are believable but often a bit *weird* in cut and size, like evrart's huge ass shirt collar or klaasje wearing a bolero rather than a normal length cardigan. whatever the fuck the ravers have going on. the characters like renè who use flashy pieces to prop up their own egos, and on the opposite side, joyce, who's dressed in modest looking and desaturated pieces made out of silks the average man will never be able to afford. or SF/charles, dressed the most boringly formal and with nothing to say other than diplomat babble. mrrr tequila sunset's snakeskin shoes and bellbottom pants in general. the green goes well with the orange. the fact that harry and Kim also juxtapose eachother in the silhouette (harrys clothes taper out in straight lines, kim's clothes are bunched up and round and his ankles/wrists are left narrow). it's half an hour past midnight I just like clothes

A Comprehensive Guide to Transformer Health Verification (HV) Testing

Transformers are critical components in power transmission and lightning protection studies distribution systems, playing a vital role in maintaining the reliability and efficiency of the electrical grid. Ensuring the health and proper functioning of transformers is essential to prevent unexpected failures and costly downtime. One key aspect of transformer maintenance is Health Verification (HV) testing, which provides a comprehensive assessment of a transformer's condition.

In this comprehensive guide, we'll explore the importance of transformer HV testing, the various tests involved, and how to interpret the results to make informed decisions about transformer maintenance and replacement.

Importance of Transformer HV Testing

Transformer HV testing serves several crucial purposes:

Identifying Potential Issues: HV testing helps detect early signs of deterioration, insulation problems, or other issues that could lead to transformer failure. By proactively addressing these problems, you can extend the transformer's lifespan and avoid unexpected outages.

Optimizing Maintenance Schedules: The data gathered from HV testing can be used to develop predictive maintenance strategies, allowing you to schedule maintenance and repairs based on the transformer's actual condition rather than a fixed schedule.

Ensuring Reliability: Maintaining the health of transformers is essential for ensuring the reliability and stability of the electrical grid. HV testing helps you identify and address issues before they escalate, reducing the risk of unexpected failures and service disruptions.

Compliance and Safety: Many regulatory bodies and industry standards require periodic HV testing to ensure transformers are operating within safe and acceptable parameters. Adhering to these requirements helps maintain compliance and minimize safety risks.

Key Transformer HV Tests

Transformer HV testing typically involves a suite of diagnostic tests to assess the overall health of the transformer. Some of the most common tests include:

Dissolved Gas Analysis (DGA): This test analyzes the composition and concentration of dissolved gases in the transformer's insulating oil. Specific gas patterns can indicate issues such as overheating, partial discharges, or oil degradation.

Insulation Resistance (IR) Test: This test measures the insulation resistance between the transformer windings, as well as between the windings and ground. Low insulation resistance can indicate moisture, contamination, or other insulation-related problems.

Dielectric Frequency Response (DFR) Test: Also known as the Frequency Domain Spectroscopy (FDS) test, this method analyzes the dielectric properties of the transformer's insulation system across a wide range of frequencies. It can help identify issues like aging, moisture, or paper insulation degradation.

Power Factor (PF) Test: This test measures the power factor of the transformer's insulation system, which can provide insights into the condition of the insulation and the presence of contaminants.

Transformer Turns Ratio (TTR) Test: This test measures the ratio of turns between the primary and secondary windings of a transformer, which can help detect winding issues or problems with the core.

Sweep Frequency Response Analysis (SFRA): This test compares the transformer's electrical signature across a range of frequencies, allowing for the detection of mechanical and electrical issues within the transformer.

Infrared (IR) Thermography: Thermal imaging can be used to identify hot spots or uneven heating within the transformer, which may indicate problems with the windings, connections, or cooling system.

Interpreting HV Test Results

Interpreting the results of transformer HV tests requires expertise and a deep understanding of the relationship between test results and transformer condition. Factors such as the transformer's age, operating history, and environmental conditions must be taken into account when analyzing the data.

In general, the test results should be compared to industry standards, manufacturer recommendations, and the transformer's historical data to identify any abnormal trends or deviations. Significant changes in test results over time, or values that fall outside of the acceptable range, may indicate the need for further investigation, maintenance, or even replacement of the transformer.

It's important to note that HV test results should be considered in the context of the overall condition of the transformer, as a single test result may not provide a complete picture. A holistic approach, incorporating multiple test results and other maintenance data, is essential for making informed decisions about the transformer's health and future.

Transformer Health Verification (HV) testing is a critical component of a comprehensive transformer maintenance program.hv transformer testing By regularly conducting a suite of diagnostic tests, you can gain valuable insights into the condition of your transformers and make informed decisions about their maintenance and replacement.

By understanding the importance of HV testing, the various tests involved, and how to interpret the results, you can ensure the reliability and efficiency of your power transmission and distribution systems, ultimately contributing to the overall resilience of the electrical grid.
