13:43 <DocScrutinizer05> whitequark: ((remember you argued about incandescent vs CFL/LED)) I don't remember, but my general take on that is: you better use incandescent light than a mere heater-blower for heating, isnce the light can do really valuable work and in the end the heating effect per kWh is the same

13:44 <DocScrutinizer05> why just heat your flat with electricity when you can heat *and* grow cabbage with same amount of electricity

13:45 <DocScrutinizer05> or you use a heat pump (inverse AirCon) and multiply the efficiency by factor 2 roughly

13:47 <DocScrutinizer05> an electric heater is about the most wasteful inefficient device you could come up with - it uses the most expensive energy to produce the least valuable result from it

13:47 <DocScrutinizer05> but yes, you better use any other energy than electricity for heating purposes

13:49 <DocScrutinizer05> ideally use heat that's "waste" otherwise and elsewhere, like the heat they need to get rid of in steel cooking or whatever industry

13:50 <DocScrutinizer05> this also is the idea behind incandescent lamps (except for my shower heater which I planned to build from a 200 incandescent lamps instead of a heater-blower)

13:50 <DocScrutinizer05> I'm not really interested in the light they produce. But then this whole thing would operate only a 10 min per day

13:51 <DocScrutinizer05> and I'm pissed that incandescent lamps are no longer available for such purposes where I explicitly want to use them for heating

13:53 <DocScrutinizer05> the result is: I'm not building this fast-kick-in heater and thus have to keep my bathroom at 20°C all the time since the normal heating takes literally hours to heat it up only ^°C

13:53 <DocScrutinizer05> 1°C

13:54 <DocScrutinizer05> which costs me real money for the wasted energy

14:15 <wpwrak> pity the pix don't show the tail number

22:04 <kristianpaul> phew, i will not trust usb storage anymore :p
