  1. If you mix eye of toad, ear of bat, teeth stolen from the tooth fairy, sprinkle in some whip of the willow, simmer for twentytwelve hours, strain through a butchers cloth then cast away the doffor. This recipe should generate enough elec-trickery to lift a rock over the garden gate but beware of the dog.
  2. Pumpernickel weed is good for advanced stages of TDS or try a hot rock salt poultice.
  3. Here's another, "that which goes around comes around". What did you pom-poms expect. Please stop with the swearing after the gibberish., you're not very good at it.
  4. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. What did you tato-puffs expect.
  5. So here that old saying applies, "it takes one to know one". Well done
  6. The coverage is fictitious, therefore the results are fictitious.
  7. As I said energy input compared to energy output would make the whole system an energy waste engine. A Dillon-Wagoner generator would be more viable.
  8. Germany built a seawall that generates electricity from crashing waves — silently, endlessly In the Baltic coastal town of Rostock, Germany has turned its shoreline into an invisible power plant. Their new seawall doesn't just protect the land — it quietly captures wave energy and converts it into usable grid power, 24 hours a day.
  9. If you were an engineer you would realise the friction losses in the lifting mechanism would severely outweigh any benefits gained.
  10. Examples of Failed Wave Energy Projects: Wello: The Finnish company Wello, known for its Penguin wave energy device, declared bankruptcy and ceased operations after two of its full-scale devices failed in real sea conditions. Sustainable Marine Energy: This UK-based company, which had been developing tidal power in the Bay of Fundy, filed for bankruptcy after encountering difficulties securing permits and facing financial challenges. Carnegie Clean Energy: The company's Albany wave farm project in Western Australia was abandoned due to financial difficulties and the withdrawal of government funding. Ocean Power Technologies: A $233 million wave power project proposed for Portland, Victoria, was abandoned in 2014 after the company deemed it not commercially viable. Pelamis and Aquamarine Power: Two Scottish wave energy developers, Pelamis and Aquamarine, which were once seen as leading the way, both folded after encountering financial and technical hurdles. Reasons for Failure: Technical Issues: Wave energy converters face harsh ocean conditions, leading to equipment failures, high maintenance costs, and reliability problems. Economic Challenges: High capital costs, operational expenses, and the need for significant government support can make wave energy projects economically unviable. Regulatory Hurdles: Navigating complex permitting processes and gaining regulatory approval for wave energy projects can be a major obstacle. Lack of Commercial Viability: Many projects have struggled to demonstrate that they can generate electricity at a competitive cost. Limited Government Support: A lack of consistent and long-term government funding and incentives has also hampered the development of wave energy. Key Takeaways: Wave energy is a challenging technology to commercialize, with a high failure rate among early projects. Technical and economic challenges, combined with regulatory hurdles, have hindered the widespread adoption of wave energy. A clear regulatory path and sustained government support are crucial for the future of wave energy development. Carnegie Clean Energy's failed Albany wave farm project ...

  11. I actually play the piano, how are your kazoo lessons going?
  12. Your village doesn't want you back.
  13. Your village wants you back.
  14. That's you lining up in the basement.
  15. You need more rope?
  16. Potential for Prosecution: The ruling has the practical effect of potentially delaying criminal trials of former presidents for official acts, but it does not preclude prosecution for actions taken outside of their official capacity, or after they have left office.
  17. Logically your misunderstanding is expected,
  18. So are you going to turn yourself in?
  19. Why would anyone want to shrink their head? Did you have a headache?
  20. No I won't, I like my job as an Iron Maiden Washerouterperson.
