Re: electron volts: eV
When you buy ..., you need to specify the required seconds/ohm. Name the product "...". Ohms = Volts/ampere, and ampere*seconds = coulombs. Thus seconds/ohm = coulombs/volt, which is a capacitance. What kind of capacitor is the question? I'll take a wild guess and say a flash-lamp for pho...

Re: electron volts: eV
Why did the quantum mechanic smoke?
He/she was forced to use SI units.
Forcing a defenseless electron through 1 volt was considered too brutal for a civilised society.

electron volts: eV
As of this week I finally understand the point of electron volts.
Same scale as an atto joule. Didn't understand why they didn't just use aJ instead of eV
Now I do.
Same reason cosmologists live a light speed of 1. 1 lightyear/year
It all started with a joke:

Re: Real estate investment in germany
I would not invest in Germany right now. I know, I know you can die of old age waiting for the price to dip in Germany. But before the Iran war I thought we were due a correction. Now due a collapse. I did however buy 4 apartments in Nürnberg 18 years ago. I rent 2 out furnished, and 2 regular. I ma...

Re: What do you think about Iran conflict?
I seem to remember that only Congress can declare war.
Is this a special military operation like Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Or has Trump just done the impossible again?

Re: Why are you unhappy today?
I went to the chemist to get a prescription. And they told me it would take 20 minutes and offered me a chair and some water. I said I wasn't complaining, just curious. How does it take so long? Do they have an elf in the pack crushing up stuff in a pestle and mortar? And the pharmacist, a black man...

I was born & raised Catholic. Am not anymore. But Francis was a pope I admired, liked and respected. John Paul I might have been good if he didn't die so fast. But other than JP1 Francis was apart. His policies were admirable, his goodness shone. With Queen Elizabeth gone we only need the Dalai ...

President Musk was showing his new best bud, VP Trump around the Southern White House, at his South Africa estate. They were touring the grounds in a brand new Cyper Truck.

Re: Legalising cannabis
Godzilla glue getting close to harvest. I will start flushing soon (feed it plain water with no added nutrients), but I‘d rather feed it too long than flush too early. The point behind flushing is to get rid of as much nutrients and chlorophyll as possible before harvest. It is heavily debated on w...

Re: Neighbour wants access through our backyard to build a pool
Not your problem. Your neighbor should pay all costs including a lawyer to draw up a proper written contract. I wouldn't go with a verbal agreement on something as big as this. Totally this. In fact neighbour should pay for the unconnected lawyer you choose to review the contract their lawyer draws...
