Tesla Posted October 5, 2015 Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 (edited) Can't wait for the A-League to start. The best soccer league in the world (for gambling purposes, because you can actually watch every game with minimal time investment, while results are pretty hard to pick compared to other leagues meaning higher odds)Apart from that, I actually find it more entertaining than any other league as well, don't know why.

bt50 Posted October 5, 2015 Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 Agree with that big time. Tbh I get more enjoyment out of watching a league than any other league. Probably cos I know every player and am most invested in it but there's something quite endearing about the Comp IMO. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here as well.Don't get me wrong i'm still a mad essendon supporter but it feels more like a buisness compared to heart/city games where it feels like it's more like your local club.Something as simple as being able to take photos and chat with the players after games regularly gives it that family feel. Most of the other clubs i support too have quite huge fanbases so its that too i guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably cos I know every player and am most invested in it but there's something quite endearing about the Comp IMO. I actually find I can't even watch a game of Soccer on TV for very long unless its Melbourne City, Celtic or perhaps if there is a chance of the Mongs getting done (I will always swap channels as soon as the Mongs go a goal up).Its pretty much the same thing with footy in that most games bar some finals/big clashes if they dont involve Geelong/Port Melbourne I will rarely watch more than a quarter.Sometimes I think I might not actually like Soccer or AFL: I just hate Melbourne City, Celtic, Geelong or Port Melbourne losing... and the Mongs winning.

Actually I think many libertarians would be environmentalist given there would be a large amount of hunters that would have libertarian leanings (responsible hunting doesn't hurt the environment, whereas most hunters I know have a lot of respect for the environment. Actually it could be argued responsible hunting makes it worthwhile economically to keep open certain reserves etc rather than turning them into houses/factories, so it helps the environment) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hedaik Posted October 16, 2015 Report Share Posted October 16, 2015 (edited) You may if a bushfire disrupts electricity supplies to Melbourne.Pretty much impossible. Lightning and high winds are the only real concerns for the transmission lines, and if one line is taken out then theres about 5 or 6 other feeds from various parts VIC/NSW/TAS/SA. Most/all fires start from 22kv/66kv lines as they receive a lot less attention than transmission lines as they arent as critical.

Shahanga Posted October 16, 2015 Report Share Posted October 16, 2015 So hedaik you're saying if you have solar panels and during the day you get a blackout from the grid, your solar to your house will switch off?so in effect it goes into the grid rather than powering your house?sounds like a poor arrangement to me if true.

Its a safety feature so current generated from your panels arent fed back into the fault area that can potentially injure or kill whatever has caused the power to trip in the first place, or whoever is working on the powerlines to fix the fault. It is possible to set it up in a way that means you keep your electricity during an outage, but it costs $$$ and you probably wouldnt be spending that money unless you had a certain requirement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A month earlier, excessive consumption due to a heatwave affecting SA & Vic were a threat to supplies in Melbourne and some regional supplies were affected. IIRC this decade there was a call for air cons to be switched off as central Victoria was affected (I just can't remember when). So at the moment I accept that we have not had a situation where fires and a heatwave affecting SA, Vic, NSW & Tassie could disrupt electricity supplies to Melbourne but reading the press releases I don't think that the possibility is as rare as you think. Hopefully not in my lifetime. One final thought - Tesla appears to consider only domestic use but the biggest loss will be commercial industry.

I do see your scenario though, it would have to be a pretty serious fire though to shut down a whole power station. I was more thinking of the transmission lines themselves rather than the generation when I made my initial comment.

jw1739 Posted October 16, 2015 Report Share Posted October 16, 2015 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northeast_blackout_of_2003 is worth reading to understand what can happen once an integrated electricity supply system starts to fail, whatever the cause of the fault that triggers the collapse.The potential impacts of such a collapse become ever greater with our increasing reliance on technology.

cadete Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 (edited) I remember seeing the dumbest thing I have ever seen Airport Security do last year...I think it must of been in light of some recent event but they had decided to get every tenth person or so to remove their shoes so some Anglo Airport Security Person chose a 80 something year old Greek Man who clearly could not speak any English as one of the PPL they chose at random.Anyway the poor bloke had no idea what was going on and was clearly getting really destressed... the whole line was being held up and things were getting nowhere until his daughter points at another Security Bloke and said "You! you are a wog.. you understand this shit, sort this out!".And thankfully the poor old bloke was just waved through.
