OMG this is so funny in so many different ways of viewing it.

A corvette of the German Naval Forces is pulled backwards by a tug into a harbour in London and blasts the Imperial March from Star Wars, as happened seemingly yesterday.



This is not serious

16 2/3 is one third of 50 Hz which makes for simple frequency conversion with a rotary (motor-generator) converter. You want AC for easy voltage conversion at the same time as low frequencies were good for the old traction motors.

As for 15 kV… I guess it was seen as a good compromise when it was introduced 112 years ago in Germany.

16 2/3 (or 16.7 Hz) 15 kV is the standard in Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Sweden and Norway. Most new systems use 25 kV 50 Hz. With modern power electronics there is no reason to use a frequency other than the normal grid frequency.

When ATC is taken over by spiders…

Both Nice and Cannes were closed for a while this morning with thunderstorms directly overhead. There was a lot of creative holding going on. I think this guy gets some kind of prize. He did finally land at LFMD a few minutes ago.

The horizontal rule at the end? Or did I miss something?

Each individual word is intelligible, and yet the meaning escapes me completely. Now I know how my children feel when learning to read.

There are times I am happy to be at my age and not 30 years younger and working for somebody else and having to deal with this BS seriously for next 30 years.

I don’t think that PR was written by ChatGPT, either. There are people who really come up with this BS, and any trade magazine will just run this (if you place an advert somewhere in there).

Best thing is to teach your kids how to start their own business
