Yes, but hopefully so is the opposition kit

Refitting with new tech is standard, it's a little easier with ships because you have lots of space and mass. Much easier to weld a new missile system to a frigate than add a 3rd gun deck to a jet fighter

So Zumwalt did the same and built 3

This program is only going to build 2

Does this mean the Navy will soon be building negative numbers of ships ? And will they be able to do that on time ?

Re: BOFH-Excuse

How are we going to get British electricity from Gibraltar to the UK?

And will it be duty free ?

Re: BOFH-Excuse

Can't access from here but there is a great technical overview about it on youtube by a British engineer

The initial problem was a single line going out because of heat/weather. The issue was most of the grid was solar+wind with no inertia from turbines. The turbines that they did have were nuclear and auto disconnected from the grid 'for safety' and they didn't have any spare stabilization loads.

I learned there are entire un-powered power stations driven from the grid feeding power back to the grid just to provide rotational inertia and so frequency stability

Spain/Portugal also has very poor links to the rest of Europe for historical reasons (cough Franco)

Re: Everything we do

Yes but when did Canada ever give an American president a gold plated jumbo jet ?

Re: Canada is doing it

Good job Nasa wasn't relying on American rocket scientists Mein Fuhrer Mr President

If we had the F35 in Afghanistan we wouldn't have been beaten by Al Queda's airforce

Even before the rule of the Great Leader. The USA blocked the launch the Canadian Radarsat2 earth resources because it would allow those dangerously polite people to the North access to high quality surface data.

So it was launched from Russia (well presumably Kazakhstan by that point but still pretty non-US aligned)

Trump, Republicans try again to stop states from regulating AI

Re: States Rights !

But his highness is proposing that the feds regulate what the south can do with their indentured agents - didn't that once cause a certain amount of disharmony ?

Scientific computing is about to get a massive injection of AI

Re: So the scientists

For lots of scientific computing tasks you don't need FP64

All this electrical power concentrated in one place would allow the Americans to actually make tea (unlike their belief that tea can be made with water from the hot tap)
