An other advantage is that if gas or electric supply is cut I can use my solar panels, 250 Ah lipo battery pack, and 2 kW pure sinewave battery to mains converter.. Tested on the microwave and other stuff, works perfectly, keeps the fridge running too. And satellite TV! Fiber will be dead.. Amazing, 10 minutes microwave can do a lot! Not much power used! Water cooker, few minutes for a liter boiling water. You do not even have to skip your coffee...

The gas range can be ignited without electricity. And I have a propane BBQ on the deck outside the kitchen. It has a nice view too. Microwaves are good for thawing leftovers. We don't actually cook anything in the microwave. John Larkin Highland Tech Glen Canyon Design Center Lunatic Fringe Electronics

I also use it to heat up pizzas and other stuff stored in the deepfreeze I do have a fire-starter and plenty of burnable stuff in the garden if all else fails :-) Was just working in the garden this afternoon... Removing stuff and planting nice new plants. Few more month and the grapes are ready again. Weather is nice.

The Dr Oetker pizzas have been proven consistent high quality for many years Unlike Aviko french fries Those have a high percentage of bad black spots Did not Phil Hobbs once design a monitoring system, for something like that? Was it Aviko? There is a local pizza shop here that also delivers to your house at some extra costs. But I just bike to the next village supermarket for my shopping, exercise is good. What I use a lot -every day- for baking stuff is virgin olive oil, was addicted to it first time I tasted it! Few days ago I found this: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/04/260417224527.htm Scientists say this type of olive oil could boost brain power Extra virgin olive oil could boost brain health by reshaping your gutтАФmaking quality matter more than ever. Olive trees get very old, Am experimenting with maize too, got a pack of maize cookies, opened it and the smell put me right into South America!

Lighting here sometimes, storms! had a bad one a while back... And slippery roads when freezing. Few month ago a warning: stay home, many cars just slided of the road..

Extractor fans are rare there, and not easy to fit. We did have one over the island cooker in our big house in the Netherlands, and the fumes collected above the electric cooker got piped up to the ceiling and piped across to an outside wall, but we spent a lot of money reworking the kitchen and dining area. That house had been originally been built in 1936 for a prominent member of the Dutch national socialist party, on the foundations of a much older farm house, so the reworking was pretty much essential. My wife - as the director of a Max Planck Institute in Nijmegen - wanted house where she was seen as the hostess rather than the cook. -- Bill Sloman, Sydney

Digging the gas caused earthquakes that damaged homes and people started crying for compensation. So most of the gas fields here are now closed Europe could get cheap gas from Russia via the Northstream2 pipeline But US CIA clowns like 'lensky blew that pipeline up so we had to buy US shipped gas. Important point with gas central heating is that you ALSO need electricity for the system to work, pumps etc. This house is now equipped with double insulated walls. You can leave the gas heating off for large parts of the year, still need it for hot water when showering. Many years ago as a kid we hat an electric hot water tank that always had the right temperature and a big oil tank buried in the garden for heating. Even longer ago we had coal, even a big coal heater in the classrooms in primary school in Amsterdam. I have 2 microwave ovens, one a big Whirlpool (make name) with electric oven and grill and all sorts of programs using it all the time. On the other hand just recently (likely due to all the world tension about fuel) digging for more gas in the Northsea just a few miles away seems to have been given the go-ahead here if I understood the news right. https://www.dutchnews.nl/2026/04/second-north-sea-gas-well-takes-production-to-1-billion-m3/

The water heater is gas fired, and the water pressure comes into the house from the street. SF has gravity-feed reservoirs so we have hot and cold water pressure even if there is a big power failure. House heat is gas fired and forced-air, so that needs electricity. Most new houses have "radiant heat" which needs electricity too. >Mine does, and it shows temperature and setpoint on an LCD.

It's not going to be built in Europe or Australia. Did you note their new design center in Munich, or the new fab in Dresden, together with Bosch, NXP and Infineon? In medieval times, Bavaria was wine land. Must have been a few degrees hotter before they had to switch to beer. They even had to import beer know how from the North Sea coast. We in Europe will probably watch the news on the TV from the tornado avenues in the US south. You'll have our compassion, but that's Darwin at work. Gerhard

Well, the business model for wind farms is being paid for not generating electricity. John Larkin Highland Tech Glen Canyon Design Center Lunatic Fringe Electronics

It's not cutting edge either, and hasn't been for a while. > But TSMC building a fab in the US South is > interesting. It's not going to be built in Europe or Australia. Europe has it own fabs. Australia is too small a market to support a modern fab. We did have our own fab in the 1980's. Cambridge Instruments sold them one of the EBMF 10.5 electron-beam microfabricators that I'd worked on. When the reps came back they told me than my younger brother had negotiated the $500 million contract between AWA and Lend-Lease to build the structure. He worked for Lend-Lease before he went off to run the Sydney Olympic games. The fab was still running until about 2020 when the lease on the site ran out. > Or in Taiwan. Taiwan already has a TSMC fab. Why would they need another?
