Weekett Smart WiFi Kettle

The WeeKett Smart Kettle has taken a familiar household staple and infused it with smart technology to offer more convenience and control over an everyday task. With voice activation, temperature control, and energy-efficient features, the WeeKett aims to simplify tea and coffee making, while also addressing the unique needs of young families and tech-savvy households. Today we’re taking an…

[rotationalsymmetry]

never had an air fryer or a panini press, but I endorse the rest. I’m never going back to cooking rice on the stove if I can avoid it. And oh dear god offbrand trash bags…

Kitchen appliances I would recommend purchasing when moving out on your own:

Air fryer

One of those panini press grill things (not only can you make sandwiches but you can grill chicken and steak if you have an expensive model)

Rice cooker (not only good for rice but quinoa and any other grain, alternatively you could buy an Instapot)

Electric kettle (depends on how much tea you drink but it’s good for boiling water for cleaning and preheating water for pasta etc)

Kitchen appliances I would not recommend buying when you move out on your own:

Counter top coffee maker (you should not be drinking an entire pot of coffee on your own and it will be stale by the time you get to the bottom, plus these bitches suck to clean, Keurigs, French presses and stove top percolators where you make one or two cups at a time are more practical for a single person)

"Happy Birthday"

[Mister S's Mystery Shop]

Idia: …Hrrm, I can't find the 15th Anniversary special Star Rogue diorama.

Idia: I told Sam-shi I'd look for it myself, so I wouldn't have to deal with him talking to me, but… There's way too much stuff here to look through!

Idia: And I came all this way 'cause I wasn't fast enough to get it online.

Idia: I can't go back empty-handed after telling Ortho that there's no way I wouldn't get my hands on one as a number one fanboy!

Idia: Oho? This shelf over here has a ton of specialty figures and other hobby stuff… EEHHHH!?

[products fall of shelf]

Idia: OUCH! OW OW OW!!

Jack: Woah!? That was close! Some of the falling goods almost scraped by my nose…

Idia: I-I-I didn't do anything! They just fell off on their own since they were thrown haphazardly onto the shelf!!

[Idia runs away]

Jack: Huh? No one said it was your fault or nothin'…

Jack: …What the, he's already gone! Idia-senpai… He looks slow and frail, but is he secretly actually pretty nimble?

Jack: Oh, man, and he just left everything on the ground. Ugh, I guess I'll have to…

Jack: …Hm? Isn't this box the one Ortho mentioned today…?

[Ignihyde Dorm – Idia's Room]

Idia: …Haah. And in the end, I just ran away… Without a Star Rogue diorama…

Idia: It's all because they sold it first-come-first-serve, instead of pre-order... Not my fault what happened earlier…

Idia: If I went back now, that terrifying beast of a man from Savanaclaw might still be there. I'll try again tomorrow…

Idia: K. Now that I've decide that, time to get all the annoying dorm work stuff done!

Idia: Uhhh, so, the notices I have to give the other dorm students are… Oh, right, the equipment replacement schedule, and the AC inspection time.

Idia: Just in case, I'll add "Important", "Good News", "Response Required", and "Read Immediately" to the subject… K, sent.

Idia: It sure is hard work bein' a Housewarden. Thought it's not that bad since I implemented a chat app once I became Housewarden.

Idia: Efficiency above all! No face-to-face meetings! Conserving my own energy is the best way to do things!

Idia: Finished all my Housewarden tasks, and even took a shower, as annoying as it is. I'm awesome. I'd give myself 100,000,000 points out of 100.

Idia: Nice, so… It's finally me time!

[Ignihyde Dorm – Idia's Room]

Idia: Ah, I got a message from Ortho… He's spending the night in the first year rooms, huh.

Idia: Then, I guess I can just game all night by myself! Fheeheehee!

 [beep, beep!]

Idia: Hm…? What's with this reminder…? Man, right when I was getting into things.

「Survey on Quality of Life Improvements for the Student Body」

Idia: Ugh.. Right, that was a thing. You don't really see paper surveys anymore. Let me think, it should be around… Yep, here it is.

Idia: Uhhh, so what, they want to know what I'd like improved? I mean, kinda late to ask a third-year, isn't it? I can't really think of anything.

Idia: Sides, there were stuff I used to not like about the dorm, but I already made upgrades to all that stuff.

Idia: We soundproofed the walls and floors, installed commercial-grade AC, and the dorm-wide servers are of my own technical specs.

Idia: To live the perfect shut-in life, we can't not have walls that can't take loud shouting, or ACs that can't keep overclocked PCs cool, so～

Idia: …Ah, wait a mo'. I just thought of one issue I got. "There's not enough electrical outlets"!!

Idia: This kinda stuff needed specialized qualifications to do, so it's not like I coulda bought the parts and DIY it.

Idia: I'm using a power strip for now 'cause I have to, but I hate how the wiring just looks like spaghetti. Even a master wiring tech like myself can't stand a sight like that!

Idia: Oh, I just thought of one more thing. "I want to have the low-capacity breaker replaced"!

Idia: It's so weak that the breaker flips just 'cause I try to have 4 computers, the server, a 3D printer, microwave, and electric kettle all plugged in at once!

Idia: I mean, I'd set up a UPS (uninterruptible power supply) system in case of emergencies, so my computers and server was fine, but...

Idia: Because of that, my plan to add an AC unit and a refrigerator in my room went out the window. That was a nightmare. Oh, and…

Idia: …Dyehehe. I said I couldn't really think of any, but it's hilarious how the ideas keep flowin' out.

Idia: I'll attach some of the numbers we have on the cost of estimated damages by having Ignihyde students continue to use those useless breakers.

Idia: The Headmage is pretty much influenced by profits, so. If I explain how it's necessary to get better equipment, then he might listen to improvement suggestions.

Idia: Nice, mission clear. Time to watch some new anime episodes while grinding levels in my gams.

Idia: See, nothing beats watching anime while mindlessly leveling… Ooh, I pulled a rare one!

Idia: I thought I'd be bored of this anime 3 episodes in, too, but it's actually starting to get interesting!

Idia: Well, now that the mood's getting good, I just gotta let loose! TIME FOR A SNACK PARTY!!

Idia: …Huh? I'm out of my favorite snack. Ugh, I completely forgot to re-order some more when I ate all of it last time.

Idia: If only the Mystery Shop had 24-hour delivery service… Maybe I should add that to the survey?

Idia: Nah, nevermind, I should just focus on the anime. NOTHING'S GONNA BRING ME DOWN!

Idia: Woah, the animation's clean…! They're all movin' so smoothly… Maybe the production team changed this week?

Idia: I'm getting pretty into the main theme song, too! Heehee, fheeheehee…!

[Ignihyde Dorm – Idia's Room]

Idia: Urrghnn… Aaarghh…

[���♪]

Idia: Gah! Urgh, what's that noise…? What time is it right now…?

Idia: Urk! Everything's so bright, I can't see anything… How's it morning already…? Wait, before that, where'd that noise come from…!?

Idia: Huh…? Ortho…? Weren't you spending the night with the other first years…? Oh wait, is this just a message…?

Idia: "HAPPY BIRTHDAY"…? Oh, right, today's my birthday! I completely forgot, since there wasn't anything to look forward to…

Idia: I'll just write back… Thanks, Ortho.

Idia: Urp…! But now I feel a bit sick…! And my whole body hurts…!

Idia: I fell asleep running my games, and I'm just stiff all over. Can't I just go move to my bed and go back to sleep?

Idia: Nah, if I end up crashing and forget to login and get all the birthday login voice lines, I'll never recover. Gotta wash my face or something…

Idia: Woah, I can see how crazy my bedhead is reflected in the monitor! I think this every time, but why does my hair end up this bad whenever I fall asleep at my desk?

Idia: Kinda looks punk, but that's totally a different vibe from my usual, lawl.

Idia: Meh, my hair can be whatever. Not like anyone looks at me, anyway.

Idia: It's a pain to go all the way to the washroom… I'll just use magic like I normally do. I'll chill the water, then.

[splash!]

Idia: WHEEEEW, THAT COLD WATER HITS JUST RIGHT!!

Idia: Normally, I'd just leave it here, but… My face feels so dry after pulling that all-nighter.

Idia: But I'm all good. I'm a functioning nerd, so I know how to fix it.

Idia: Ta-da～ I don't really get it, but here I go with the number one most popular all-in-one cream～

Idia: Putting on lotion and moisturizer one at a time is a waste of time. Just plap it on, and ta-da, done. Next is my clothes…

Idia: Nah, nevermind, I'm not gonna change. Now all I have to do is to jump into all my games and collect the birthday login voice lines. Fheeheehee.

Idia: Perf, I've gotten them all for now. …Huh? There's another message from Ortho…

Idia: …HUH!? HE GOT THE 15TH ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL STAR ROGUE DIORAMA!? SERIOUSLY!?

Idia: "I was planning on picking it up in the Mystery Shop after classes, but if you can't wait, you can go pick it up whenever"…?

Idia: Well, I gotta go right now, then! That means I have to finish getting ready.

Idia: I don't really wanna go outside, but… I can't keep my poor Star Rogue waiting! Hyah!

[Idia magics hair and clothes]

Idia: K, bedhead fixed. And now, onwards, to the Mystery Shop!!

[Main Street]

Idia: Fheeheehee…! Look at this craftsmanship…! It looks just like the scene I imagined as a kid!

Idia: Ortho… Did you look for this Star Rogue diorama because you knew I was sad I didn't get it?

Idia: Wheew～ The best thing in the world is a little brother who thinks the world of his older brother, and is really good at search functions～!

Jack: Hm? Is that… Idia-senpai? Good morning.

Idia: GYAAAAAA!? J-Jack-shi…? Why are we making contact two days in a row…?

Jack: I mean, it's not really anything, but… I heard from Ortho yesterday that today was your birthday, is all.

[Idia runs away]

Jack: Happy Birthday. So, uh, did you get what you were looking…

Jack: Huh, he's already gone! Ugh, I don't get him at all.

Frisches Luft (Fresh Air) | Ludwig Beilschmidt (Germany) x Reader

Is this partly to practice my German? A little bit. But also, I don't see enough writing where Ludwig does anything German outside of what he does in the show, so here's this. This has not been proofread. Translations at the bottom.

Pairing: Ludwig Beilschmidt x Reader

Tags: Fluff, established relationship

Summary: You had originally moved in with Ludwig during the summer. Though some German traditions you didn't quite understand, you didn't mind frisches Luft (opening all of the windows for some fresh air). You actually quite enjoyed the breeze that would float through the house during the summer. But it is now winter. And snowing. And you are not as fond of frisches Luft during the winter.

"Liebling!" You called to your boyfriend as he opened the windows. Cold air rushed through, chilling you to the core as you pulled your blanket tighter around you. Ludwig paused for a moment, look at you.

"Ja, liebe?" He asked, cracking open another window.

"Do you really have to do frisches Luft the winter?" You asked, another chill running through you.

He nodded, "Natürlich, liebling. It's gut for us. It gets rid of all the dirt in the house."

"I don't think that's how that works," you said. "Baby, it's below zero out there!"

"And??" he asked incredulously. Another shiver ran through your body, your teeth beginning to chatter.

"You're trying to kill me," you whined.

He rolled his eyes, "Dramatic much?" You pouted at that, standing up and padding over to him. You moved close to him, resting your forehead on his shoulder.

"What are you doing?" he said, confusion all over his face.

"You made me cold," you said. "Now you need to fix it by making me warm."

He let out a scoff before ushering you back to the couch, "You sit here, I'll warm you up once I'm finished airing the house." You let out an annoyed groan, but did as you were told, curling up in a ball on the couch.

About fifteen minutes later, Ludwig re-appeared in the living with another large blanket in his arms. He made quick work of wrapping you in the blanket, warmth radiating off of it. It melted the ice off your bones, your muscles relaxing.

You raised an eyebrow at him, "Did you warm this up in the dryer?"

"Ja, natürlich," Ludwig said, wrapping an arm around you and pulling you close. "You said you were cold, I thought this would be the best way to warm you up. I have the kettle going too."

You stared at him with big eyes, your heart melting at that, "You're such a sweetheart meine Leibling."

"Nein," Ludwig said, a blush dusting across his face, "I'm efficient."

"Nuh uh," you said, "you told me warming up my blanket in the dryer was a waste of energy."

"Well, ja, it is," he said before his eyes met yours, "but your teeth were chattering and you weren't going to stop complaining until you were warm."

You smiled at that. "You love me."

His usually stoic face melted at that as he pressed a kiss to your forehead, "Ja, I do."

"After you close all the windows, maybe we can have a cozy night in?" you said. "Maybe sit on the couch and cuddle, and watch a movie?"

Ludwig let out a little sigh, saying, "I would love to mein schatz, but I have a lot of paperwork that I need to get done, and presentation that needs to be finished before the conference next week."

"Oh, bitte Ludwig?" you asked, "How often do you take a break? Not often enough in my opinion."

"I'm sorry lieb-"

You removed your hands from your blankets, pressing the cool appendages to his face, stopping him in his tracks.

"Scheiße liebe!" he said, removing your hands from his face and holding them in his own. "Your hands are ice! How did that happen?"

"You did that!" you said, "How are my hands supposed to get warm without you here to hold them?"

He rolled his eyes, "Smooth liebling. Very smooth."

"I meant it Ludwig," you said, scooching closer to him, "Just one movie? And then you can get back to work. Or you could bring your laptop in here and we can cuddle while you work and I watch the movie? Please?"

Ludwig let out a sigh, bring your hands up to his mouth to blow warm air on them before saying, "Fine, you got me. After I close the windows and make your tea, I'll sit and do my work in here. But just this once, got it? Don't expect this to be a regular thing."

"Of course mein liebling," you said, pressing a kiss to his cheek, "Ich liebe dich."

He let out a chuckle, pressing kisses to your knuckles, "Ich liebe dich, auch, Schatzi."

And so, that's exactly what he did. After a few minutes of fresh air, he closed all the windows and made some warm drinks while you picked out a movie. The two of you spent the rest of the night cuddled on the couch, Ludwig working on whatever it was he worked on and you falling asleep on his shoulder. Though you hated Frisches Luft, you loved cozy nights in with your boyfriend.

Translations:

Liebling -Darling

liebe - Love

frisches Luft - A German tradition where you open the windows in the home to allow in fresh air

Natürlich - Naturally/Of Course

mein Schatz - My treasure

bitte - Please

Scheiße - Shit

Ich liebe dich (auch)- I love you (too)

Schatzi - a German term of endearment

Smart Shopping Strategies: Electric Kettle and OTG Price Check for Savvy Consumers

In this era where electronic commerce prevails, procuring optimal pricing for domestic appliances such as electric kettles and portable ovens necessitates certain cunning as a consumer. Since quoted figures differ substantially from vendor to vendor, whether online or within traditional retail establishments, making an informed comparison before selecting a product is vital. The author provides suggestions to guide shoppers in exercising astuteness when seeking these popular kitchen tools commonly utilized in Indian households. Adopting such an approach may aid one in acting prudently as a purchaser.

Check Electric Kettle Prices from Multiple Stores

Electric kettles have become a staple in Indian household kitchens for quickly boiling water for tea, coffee, instant noodles and more. Basic electric kettle price with 1-1.5 litre capacity starts from around Rs. 800 and goes up to Rs. 2000 or more for models with temperature control features, keep warm functions, etc.

Instead of buying the first model you see, wise consumers should check prices across major online sites. as well as local appliance stores. Don’t just compare MRPs; look at the best-discounted price offered. This small effort can save you several hundred rupees on the same kettle model. 

Consider Functionality Along with the Price

While electric kettles under Rs. 1000 may seem tempting, they often compromise on safety mechanisms like auto shut-off and overheating protection. Spend a little more for better reliability and energy efficiency. Higher-priced electric kettles also usually come with keep-warm features that keep the water hot for up to 30 minutes. This can be handy when making several cups of beverage.

Evaluate Online Vs Offline Deals  

In general, online prices tend to be lower due to lower overheads. However, watch for occasional sales at local stores that may match or even beat online offers. Consider other factors like convenience, the ability to check products physically before buying, payment modes, delivery charges, etc., impact the overall cost.

Look at OTG Options Carefully

Unlike electric kettles with fairly standard functionality, OTGs can come in many sizes, designs, and feature variants. A basic 12-15 litre OTG price can be between Rs. 3000-4000. Higher capacity 25-30 litre models typically cost Rs. 6000 upwards but are ideal for larger households or those who bake frequently.   

When comparing different OTG models and prices, consider aspects like heating elements (coil vs sheet), temperature range, additional modes like grills, stainless steel cavities, timer functions, etc. All these add functionality that may be worth extra spending over basic models. Leading brands for OTGs include Morphy Richards, Bajaj and Prestige.  

Hunt for OTG Deals Online  

Buying an OTG online allows consumers to easily compare models, prices, and reviews, ensuring they find the perfect appliance for their baking, toasting, and grilling needs with minimal effort. As a relatively new entrant in many Indian homes, OTGs are a product category on which online sites frequently offer discounts and coupons, often with 20-30% off or more. Watch for OTG combo deals, too, e.g., OTG + bakeware kit. Again, check prices across sites to find the best bargain. Offline discounts may be limited for OTGs as they are not a mass market yet.   

Read Reviews Before Deciding

With so many appliance models in the market, customer reviews provide valuable insights that can guide buying decisions. Check reviews on online shopping sites and independent consumer forums to identify recurring issues related to product performance, after-sales service, etc. This can help you zero in on the best-value products.

Avail of Payment & Delivery Incentives  

Many e-commerce platforms offer incentives linked to payment methods or delivery selections to attract online shoppers. Using a certain credit card may get a 10% instant discount, while opting for slower delivery over standard delivery may qualify you for cashback. See if you can utilize such offers to maximize savings on buying an electric kettle online or making an OTG purchase.  

Keep an Eye Out for Sales & Promotions

Shopping festivals are a great time to score attractive deals on kitchen appliances. Brand-specific sales also offer price drops and bundled promotions. Subscribe to online store newsletters so you are updated on upcoming sales events.

To obtain optimal pricing on domestic appliances such as electric kettles and OTG ovens, one must diligently investigate and compare alternatives. Although the most inexpensive option may appear superficially appealing, it proves prudent to make purchases judiciously, factoring in one’s particular usage requirements and financial situation when taking the long view. Allocating additional time to explore product offerings through both online and traditional retail channels can ultimately translate to considerable reductions in expenditure.

TABATA WORKOUT ( Part 1 )

Tabata training, a sort of HIIT activity, is said to be one of the most effective ways to burn fat while improving overall health and fitness in as little as 4 minutes! With more and more members, particularly Tabata newcomers, asking questions about the Tabata workout and what it entails, we wanted to address some of the most common inquiries.

What Is The Tabata Workout?

Tabata is a type of High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) that involves very short, precise periods. All HIIT exercise consists of periods of high-intensity training followed by periods of moderate-intensity or rest, though the times can vary. Each Tabata exercise includes the following:

20 seconds of extremely intense, all-out movement

10 seconds of rest

Repeat 8 times for a total of 4 minutes

Typically, a workout may mix numerous rounds to create a lengthier workout (about 20 minutes) that targets multiple muscle groups and works the cardiovascular system while remaining easy to fit into a busy schedule. A four-minute round could include the same exercise or a variety of activities, such as:

20 seconds of sprinting + 10 seconds rest

20 seconds of push ups + 10 seconds rest

20 seconds of mountain climbers + 10 seconds rest

20 seconds of squat jacks + 10 seconds rest

What Are The Benefits Of A Tabata Workout?

Tabata training provides numerous health and lifestyle benefits. These include (but are not necessarily limited to):

Boosted anaerobic capacity: Anaerobic exercise enhances your body's tolerance to lactic acid, allowing you to work out more efficiently before reaching the lactate threshold. This means you can perform at a higher intensity for longer periods.

Improved aerobic endurance: Aerobic endurance refers to your body's ability to use oxygen to fuel physical exertion. The more efficient you are, the easier it is to exercise, allowing you to push harder and for longer periods.

Fat burning: Tabata and other HIIT workouts push your body to its limits, increasing your heart rate and burning a lot of energy, making them ideal for burning calories (and thus fat). As an anaerobic exercise, it depletes the body's oxygen supplies, and restoring them burns calories long after the session.

Convenience: Tabata workouts may easily fit into even the busiest schedule. There is no need for equipment or a large amount of space; you could even conduct a Tabata workout while waiting for the kettle to boil!

Where Did Tabata Come From?

Tabata originated in Japan and was named after Dr. Izumi Tabata, a professor at Ritsumeikan University. He was employed by the Japanese speed skating team in the 1990s to evaluate the success of their training regimen, which consisted of brief maximal bursts of sprints followed by short rest periods. Dr. Tabata conducted thorough scientific investigations and was able to demonstrate the remarkable benefits of this training approach.

Are Tabata Workouts Effective?

Tabata workouts may sound too wonderful to be true, but they are scientifically proven. Dr. Tabata's study contrasted two groups on a six-week fitness program: one group completed an hour of moderate-intensity exercise on a stationary cycle five times a week (1800 minutes of training), and the other group did high-intensity Tabata-style training four times a week (120 minutes).

While both groups improved their aerobic capacity, the Tabarta group performed significantly better, with a 15% increase in VO2 max (which indicates cardiovascular health and maximal aerobic power) and a 28% increase in anaerobic fitness compared to no improvements in the moderate exercise group. Steady-state, moderate-intensity cardio has benefits and should not be overlooked, but this demonstrates how beneficial short Tabata sessions are!

[atomarium]

So @neoncityrain,

I'll being again.

You have probably heard the words "nuclear" reactor at least a couple of times. Many people fear them and don't understand. Some fear them because of that. In the principle nuclear reactors are actually incredibly simple on their own. It's basically a kettle with a turbine that heats using shiny rocks. To be specific about what happens in the process of "fission" (the process of atoms doing the absolutely mental). We fire a neuron, it hits a heavy atom like uranium 238 (238 indicates the number of protons inside the atom, this is important because different amounts of neutrons make different isotopes of the same element. And while some isotopes are stable, some are incredibly radioactive. This is needed to calculate the energy potential.) After the neutron gits the atom, it splits in to two atoms of a lighter elements. For example uranium 235 when split produces either barium and kripton, strontium and xenon or tin and molybdenum. Depending on how it splits. When the atom is split it releases other neutrons, Wich are moving very fast and carry an energy potential. It's also called the neutron temperature. Basically how much kinetic potential it has. Kinetic potential is basically temperature. As movment in atoms is heat. It in itself is important for splitting lighter elements or achieving higher efficiency. But I'll come back to that later.

So basically green rock Magic happens (it's actually emits blue light not green). And it heats a pot of watter Wich we make in to steam and then in to energy.

With the rock Magic done we come to the part of construction. Eich is my favorite as you see there is a lot of concrete metal and vey sturdy stuff in general.

Main concern for people that are afraid of nuclear reactors is another Chernobyl, Fukushima or three mile island.

Wich is a completely valid concern. However they are all human error. Fukushima was built on a shore... with tsunamis.

Chernobyl was managed by my ancestors, Wich they did incredibly porly and did experiments to the reactor that it was not Designed for.

Nuclear reactors altho do have uranium inside of them, just as nuclear bombs. Their are utterly and absolutely Incapable of exploding like one. It's just not as pure and condensed. And it's also not being exploded together. That's just not going to happen.

With today's technology in automatic control units, Materials and stuff, reactors are incredibly unlikely to fail. Unless humans do stupid human stuff. France for example is Europes largest nuclear powerhouse. And it's energy sources are basically carbon neutral. Also the concern of people that radiation will spread and radiate the area is very unfounded. I blame the Simpsons for that fear. Uranium is not a green glowy liquid. It's a metal ish metal, maybe greyish. And you can calmly hold it. It generaly doesn't contaminate watter. And not is it in direct contact with it. It's inside it's heat transfering case. The heat from the uranium case rods is transfers with either watter molten sodium or salt. (It sounds scary but each of them has their own benefits). There is a three loops design usually implemented. The first loop takes heat directly from the uranium. And transfers it via a heat exchanger (a radiator basically) to the second loop. The second loop uses the heated watter to spin the turbines. And then at the end cools it even more with the help of the third loop. The third loop is usually just taking water from a river and spraying it in the air after it took the heat. Those are the huge cooling towers you usually see. It's not smoke or radiation. It's just steam. So you can drink it without problem. Wich I proudly day I did. (it's almost like an iterator)(wait nuclear powered iterator) (a universe where the didn't discover void fluid energy) (holy shit I made something creative)

Nuclear power occupies a very important niech. It can produce A LOT of power on demand. Meaning if suddenly it's a holiday and everyone has decided it is time their ovens on. Renewables won't be able to compensate. As you see, if there is simply no wind or sun. There is nothing you can do. You can build batteries, but litium ion are very expensive and bad for the environment. And batteries that pump watter up so it later can spin generators falling down (usually called a gravity battery) are good and massive. But can't be everywhere.

Nuclear power plants can ramp up their energy production to cover that spike rapidly and efficiently. Making sure your country won't suddenly be low on energy ((KHEM KHEM GERMANY)) in the winter. Because uranium doesn't care for the weather.

Nod for the main part and the most interesting.

NUCLEAR WASTE

I shall repeat again. It's unfortunately not a dlurpee. And it doesn't leak.

Nuclear waste has 3 stages.

Fresh out of the reactor.

This kind needs to be actively cooled, because altho it has much of the useful uranium used up. There is still a little bit of wamrth. It needs to be cooled in a pond for a couple of months.

That's the cooling pond. It's about a years with I think. Fissile material is incredible energy dense. One kilogram of enriched uranium is enough to power uhhh. A lot of stuff for s long time. The voyager for example has been out there since uhh. A log time. And it's own small littler radio isotope nuclear generator is what keeps it warm and alive.

The second stage is splitting stuff that could be useful,such as enriched uranium. 238 neutrons. It can still be used. And recycled. Wich many do.

The third kind is the bad kind. The stuff thats radioactive enough to be dangerous but not useful. Right now it is stored underground in metal and concrete husks.

This is of course bad. As it accumulates there and isn't useful.

However, there is not that much nuclear waste. It's actually doesn't take up that much space. And in the end you're putting radioactive rocks back were you found them.

HOWEVER

here comes my favorite part.

THERE IS A WAY TO AVOID ALL OF THAT.

it's called fast neutron fission reactors. Those are experimental reactors right now. So there aren't any used actevly. But they posses a very useful trait. They feed using nuclear waste. And guess what it produces as a result ?

NUCLEAR FUEL.

This means it's an infinite energy glitch (not technically. Some of the matter is concerted to energy)

You put nuclear waste of normal reactors, in to fast neutron reactors ( also referd as breeder reactors or fast spectrum reactors) and get fuel back. And we'll 1 Gramm or so of trans uranics (the nasty nuclear waste) per ton. Wich tooooo be fair... it's just a Gramm, just pour it underground it'll be fine. Or keep it in a bottle as a lava lamp.

Altogether, nuclear reactors altho not as simple as burning coal or shining the sun at a panel. Are INCREDIBLY powerful. And are just misunderstood behemoths capable of boosting our civilization past the climate change. Many people fear them, but they shouldn't. They fear the complex, and refuse to learn about it.

Germany should really revisit it's nuclear policy.

Ah and by the way. Most biggest reason why we aren't building more faster is because they are expensive. However. Most of the cost comes from turbines and cooling stuff. The exact same as in coal power plants or gas powerplants. We can just put a kettle of cool rocks in there and get one free powerplant for relatively cheap and no CO2!!

Feel free to ask any questions, I have absolutely no problem with that. Also i apologize for my grammar and typos, I just don't wsnt to correct the entirety of the text. Hopefully I didn't screw something up badly.

Also @eltanin0 you might find this interesting to.

Bonus argument

JUST LOOK HOW BEAUTIFUL IT IS

Literally rainworld irl

The last two are scientific reactors, nuclear powerplants don't look like this

Oh and a schematic just in case.

Forgot to mention the control rods, it's just to stop neutrons when you don't need them. It's like graphite or similar. And its safer to be gravity droped so if there is suddenly no power they shutdown the reactor automatically.

Also one of the reasons Chernobyl went boom.

Yeah I'm definitely fucking autistic

we NEED to introduce toastie makers to the Americans, same with electric kettles. you do it on your stove, but what if i told you there was a better way? a more energy efficient way? an Australian way?

Mobile Power Enhances The Wonderful Experience Of Travel

In recent years, with the changes in the concept of outdoor life and the upgrading of outdoor equipment, ascetic outdoor travel has gradually faded away. New ways of outdoor travel have emerged, especially Glamping, (luxury camping), which has become popular on ins recently, and is becoming a popular outdoor trend. If you want to have a wonderful travel experience, mobile power is undoubtedly standard.

Under the influence of this trend, more people hope to enjoy comfortable modern travel while being close to nature. Among the outdoor equipment you bring, the outdoor mobile power supply can best enhance your outdoor travel experience. After all, if you want to enjoy a quality and comfortable life outdoors, you cannot do without electricity.

With outdoor mobile power supplies, such as car refrigerators, rice cookers, camping lights, projectors, mobile phones, etc. can be used. The outdoor power supply greatly improves the quality of outdoor life, completely getting rid of the ascetic outdoor life.

However, there are many outdoor power supplies on the market today. Many people are at a loss when choosing, mainly because they don't understand outdoor power supply equipment. Therefore, regarding outdoor power supply equipment, I recommend a Powerfar outdoor power supply that can be charged by solar energy.

As a Canadian, one of the many baffling and frustrating things about American culture is its failure to embrace the self-evidently superior technology of the 110-volt electric kettle.

Not only are they more energy- and time-efficient than their archaic stovetop counterparts; they are also very affordable, and all but the very cheapest models come with a built-in auto-shutoff.

It activates with the soft click of gentle kitchen-appliance judgement.

I have come up with a better metaphor than “you can’t pour from an empty cup” for burnout. You can’t boil an empty kettle. Pouring from an empty cup just gets you nowhere. Trying to boil an empty kettle can ruin the kettle, the stove, and burn down your house if you keep trying it.

What people said about cutting the corporations out, but some other things really bug me about this.

Actually when I watch it closely, a bunch of things, but I'm just going to mention the two big ones that annoyed me on first viewing.

This is a bad waterwheel. It seems to be set up as somewhere between a high breastshot and a backshot waterwheel, but those are constructed with scoop/bucket shaped paddles, as they collect the water and the weight of it more than the speed of the flow, is what drives the wheel. Usually only the simplest undershot waterwheels (where the water flows under the wheel only, not entering from higher up) have flat blades like this. Also, those blades are too far apart (look like only 6 of them)(results in jerky movement), and... made of wood? You want thin, lightweight blades, so more of the energy goes to the load (electrical generator in this case, historically the grain mill or whatever), not into moving the weight of the wheel itself. And, even more of an issue than the bad/inefficient design... it is *tiny*. I mean, hard to get a really solid scale, but it looks to me like that thing is maybe 1 to 2 feet in diameter (~30-60 cm). And that's not a rushing, high pressure stream (and if it was and you were relying on that, you would want an undershot type). I have no idea how to attempt to calculate how much energy that would produce, but it's got to be minuscule. Like a couple watts *maybe*? I just can't imagine this being actually worth the effort of building and maintaining it.

The other big thing is the obsession with floating/flying things

The teapot isn't the only randomly floating thing we see, I think there is another container at the dinner table. What possible reason is there for that? Why would containers randomly float when the don't need to? For the tea kettle it is actively keeping it out of contact with the stove, making it insanely less efficient. Even if you say "maybe it is an induction stove"... that just means the efficiency loss is magnetic, not thermal. It's still going to be enormous.

The drone and the bus as transports make no sense, except perhaps under the most extreme sci-fi conditions. Keeping an object up in the air takes a huge amount of energy. Even if you aren't dealing with the inefficiency of using fans to push air down in order to stay up (hovercraft, helicopters, etc), it's just a bunch of energy that you could choose not to spend, by simply letting it rest on the ground. Airplanes are vastly less efficient than trains, for example. Planes can stack up a bit better against cars, but that is due to cars being quite big, and very often carrying one person and very little or no cargo. As soon as you talk buses or trains, efficiency goes way up.

That flying bus would be far better as an electric bus, or better yet a train/tram of some kind. The drone delivering one small item makes zero sense and wouldn't even it was on wheels instead. The inefficiency of such tiny deliveries would be enormous. If the drone is taking that milk or whatever from the kitchen to the outdoor dining table, just have human walk over and get it. If it bringing it in from a store at some distance, make a trip where get more items at once, and keep enough in stock at the house.

The one way the flying drone and bus *might* make some amount of sense, is if you postulate that we found an energy efficient way to make "negative matter"/"exotic matter". That is not antimatter - we know that antimatter responds to gravity the same as normal matter. Exotic matter is a theoretical type of matter that has an inverse relationship with gravity. So if it exists (and currently there is no evidence at all that it does - it is merely a way you could solve the equations of gravity), it would push away from normal matter e.g. the earth. So you could make things float "for free", or rather, there is just the upfront energy cost of making/acquiring the exotic matter, but no energy is spent in keeping the item floating. But that only works for fixed weights. If you put negative matter on an airship of some kind, it cancels out the weight of the craft, but not the weight of passengers/cargo, so you still have to lift that. If you put enough exotic matter in to cancel the weight of the craft and the cargo/people, then you have to have some way to push or hold it down when not loaded, or it will fly off into space. You could tether it when not flying, but even then, there would be issues if you tried to fly it with only a partial load, you would have to "push down" with energy to equal the mass you are missing from the rated amount. And if you overload it with more mass than the rated amount, you need to push that amount up. It is all very tricky, and airships based on exotic matter would probably end up acting a bit more like zeppelins than airplanes or flying cars or that flying drone.

The impression you really get from this, and many other sci-fi things with flying/floating cars and the like, from The Jetsons to Overwatch, is that the vehicles are dynamically generating some kind of "anti gravity field" or other energy field that in some way pushed them up without moving air to do it. The main way besides anti gravity would be a magnetic field, but that would fuck with any magnetic material in the area, and we never see that. Even *if* physics has anti-gravity fields in practice, and even *if* we found a way to generate them, and even *if* it could be done with great efficiency (all very big "ifs"), it is still power you could save by just letting the damn thing sit on the ground. Oh you want lower rolling resistance? Steel wheel, steel rail. Low rolling resistance! And we've had trains for ages already.

Comparing Prices: New vs. Used Brewery Equipment

Starting a brewery can be a significant financial investment, and one of the major expenses is the equipment. When deciding whether to purchase new or used brewery equipment, it's important to weigh the costs, benefits, and potential risks involved. Both options have their advantages, but choosing the right one depends on your budget, production needs, and long-term goals.

Cost Comparison: New Brewery Equipment

New brewery equipment typically comes with a premium price tag, but it offers several benefits. The primary advantage is that it’s brand new, meaning it's in perfect condition and often comes with manufacturer warranties and support. New equipment is also likely to incorporate the latest technology, offering increased efficiency, energy savings, and automation.

For small breweries, the cost of new equipment can range from a few thousand dollars for basic systems to tens of thousands for more advanced brewing setups. For larger commercial operations, the total investment can easily reach several hundred thousand dollars.

The price of new equipment also reflects the quality and longevity, as manufacturers produce equipment with modern materials and specifications designed to last for many years. Additionally, buying new allows for customization of the equipment to your specific brewing processes, such as integrating automated controls or adding special features that suit your production goals.

Cost Comparison: Used Brewery Equipment

Used brewery equipment is a cost-effective alternative, often available at a fraction of the cost of new equipment. The price depends on factors like the age, condition, and brand of the equipment. While a new brew kettle or fermentation tank may cost $10,000 or more, a used version of the same equipment might be available for 30-50% less.

However, the risk with used equipment is that it may come with wear and tear, which could lead to unexpected repair costs or shorter operational lifespans. Additionally, used equipment may lack modern technology or features, such as energy-efficient systems or automated controls, which could impact the long-term efficiency of your brewing operations.

Despite these risks, many brewers find used equipment to be a viable option, especially for those just starting out or looking to scale their operations without breaking the bank. If you’re willing to spend time inspecting equipment and researching its history, used equipment can offer significant savings without compromising quality.

Brewing Equipment Auction: A Smart Alternative

An excellent middle ground between new and used equipment is purchasing through a brewing equipment auction. Auctions often feature high-quality used equipment, sometimes only lightly used, at competitive prices. By participating in a brewing equipment auction, you can find brewing kettles, fermentation tanks, and other essential gear at a fraction of the cost of buying new.

One of the main advantages of auction purchases is the ability to potentially acquire well-maintained equipment from established breweries that are upgrading or downsizing. Some auctions even provide detailed information about the equipment’s usage, condition, and maintenance history, which can give you more confidence in your purchase.

However, it’s essential to do thorough research before bidding. Inspecting equipment (if possible) or working with a knowledgeable third-party expert can help ensure that the gear is in good condition and free from major issues. It’s also important to factor in shipping and any refurbishing costs into the final price.

Long-Term Considerations

While new equipment may have higher upfront costs, it could provide greater reliability and fewer maintenance issues in the first few years of operation. On the other hand, used equipment, especially when purchased from an auction, can be a cost-effective option to get your brewery off the ground with the potential for more affordable repairs and upgrades as you grow.

The decision ultimately comes down to your budget, risk tolerance, and production requirements. Small craft breweries and startups often find used or auction equipment a viable way to minimize costs without sacrificing too much quality. Larger operations or those aiming for the latest technology may prefer the peace of mind and performance advantages of new equipment.

Conclusion

Choosing between new and used brewery equipment requires careful consideration of costs, equipment quality, and long-term operational needs. For those seeking affordable options, used equipment, especially from brewing equipment auctions, can provide an excellent solution. However, for breweries that require the latest technology and maximum reliability, new equipment may be worth the investment. Regardless of your choice, ensure that you conduct thorough research and budget wisely to set your brewery up for success.
