Can we apply the same chat rules as LPW? we need a chat thread that sets it apart from TK.Why don't we let LPW die, and chat here instead?

You did win though.At least there would be no pressure to post. I do not enjoy saying goodnight and good morning to myself
and what sets it apart?Can we apply the same chat rules as LPW? we need a chat thread that sets it apart from TK.

Fiber optic can carry power, within the next few years you will see PoE (power over ethernet) via FO, it's just that right now it's difficult. Note this is not electricity via fiber, it will be laser, so converting it has pretty high losses right now. Lab stuff is hitting 85% efficiency (way back in 2006), real-world is around 50%, it has to hit over 90%, and then people will start stealing the equipment on both ends instead, so won't really help.Pity fibre optic cables don't carry electrical current, only binary signals.
We can do that. But I would really not like the timer. Family-friendly and conversational, without the insults - I am all down for.Can we apply the same chat rules as LPW? we need a chat thread that sets it apart from TK.

The big problem here is just how poor people are, that it's a worthwhile thing to spend so much effort, that's multiple hours worth of work for like R100 for each person, they should have been able to get it in a day's worth of work from minimum wage if they had a job and since fixed job it would be guaranteed income.
EDIT: Personally think power over fiber will start having breakthroughs in the next 2/3 years and we will see proper commercial starting by 2025 or so, but super expensive and niche, will be for things like in labs where they can't have metal or something, or where copper would have issues conducting due to environment.
Awesome. Has there been a thread-warming party yet?We can do that. But I would really not like the timer. Family-friendly and conversational, without the insults - I am all down for.
So child and Nicholas-friendly, then ;-)Can we apply the same chat rules as LPW? we need a chat thread that sets it apart from TK.
For sure, Nicholas is not allowed a thread all to himself.So child and Nicholas-friendly, then ;-)
Looks like it could slice through stuff. Danger alert.
Did it work?Tried taking a nap for about 40 minutes.
Useful for things like laser surgery.Looks like it could slice through stuff. Danger alert.
I lay covered up by a blanket for that time, but did not fall asleep.Did it work?
Did you have a lot of thoughts zooming around in your head?I lay covered up by a blanket for that time, but did not fall asleep.
Only because I overslept. And we had no powerYou did win though.
It's a good week in SA.
