Did they get all the notes in the right order?
|
|
|
|
|
For the notes in general I have no idea. For the piano notes for me as a beginner in piano it sounds ok.
But I think they have been more focused on the leaves.

Those quizzes are just data mining operations.  I'd rather not find out.

That's OK; I never answer them truthfully.

I'm a Hedge Witch
Quote: You are among the most powerful witches out there. Not many people are called a hedge witch. That is because few witches can travel among the worlds. You might not have experienced any interworlds trips. But that doesn’t mean you don’t have the ability. It is just a matter of time and practice until you achieve the highest level of your powers.
But then again, I should be a Warlock, not a Witch, unless we don't care anymore in this [removed the rest of this comment so it doesn't turn you know what.]

Me, too! Who knew... Gotta run, pluck the eyes out of some newts for a recipe I just found.

Pardon me, but although I'll refrain from using the info-mining stuff, I'll add a comment:
I love the analogy of witchcraft to coding!
We all cast our incantations, and hope that we invoke the right behavior in our metaphorical little golems and magical imps to do our bidding!
How they must quietly scorn and laugh at us when they in fact do EXACTLY what we TELL them to do, instead of what we WANT them to do!

Hi All,
I am afraid something else will break that I can't fix. I'm running at 100% fix rate today! Stuff seems to break and I can quickly fix it!
1) At test harness I came up with to test switches broke last night.
2) One of the IT's guys girl friends electric tooth brush charger broke.
3) A clicker press (big scary machine fed off three phase stopped working.
1)The test harness was a case of remove crimp from header re-crimp header put some (more) strain relief.
2) Electric tooth brush open up the charging base find capacitor had snapped off (lead free solder) resolder (with Lead) now charges tooth brush (seen as a mixture of witch craft and skill).
3) The clicker press (the scary one) took to bits to check the breaker find no volts on it move to switch, no volts again. Get worried think about the three phase power going into it, think 'well, I would stick on an external trip' go to distribution panel, find the three trips marked cLICKER PRES (yes spelt that way) have tripped & reset them Machine comes life! Go hunting find circuit, can see what caused the trip order new one (while hoping it doesn't give out until new one arrives).
4) Friday afternoon please nothing break!
So I'm running at 100% (I know pride cometh before a fall, So often I have winged about management etc. though I would give some good news!) Now back to coding! Working with Atmel interrupt handlers... not to much fun

Quick! Bury a dead chicken in the back yard!

Dead Chicken and shovel check.

Come on, for a real challenge bury a LIVE chicken.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
I’m begging you for the benefit of everyone, don’t be STUPID.

An engineer tried to explain three-phase to me once, but I still didn't get it.

All I know about three phase is 240 hurts your arm, three phase removes your arm. I am scared of it something about root 3 and 1.73...

Agree. We put up a warning sign: WARNING! STAY BACK! 3 million Ohms!

Three phase is more efficient than single line or dual line, especially for motors and such.
Kind of like RAID storage. The more disks in an array, the lower the overhead/loss.
My parents’ old house had three phase, and it was used for all of the HVAC compressors and blowers.

In practically all new Norwegian houses, 3 phase is standard, and has been for many years. I am living in an old house (1959), which had only 1 phase when I moved in, in 1985, but when I asked to have it upgraded to 3 phase a couple of years later, they came and fixed it the same week: The cable for 3 phase was already in the ground: Around 1980, they had abandoned the old air cable and dug an new ground cable, with 3 phase up to every house in the street, whether the house owner wanted 3 phase or not.
With 3 phase, you either have 3 conductors, L1, L2 and L3, and your single-phase circuit in the house is distributed among L1-L2, L2-L3 or L3-L1 - there is a 230V potential between any pair. This is called 'delta' 3-phase, and has traditionally been the standard one in Norway. In new residential area, they use a 4 conductor cable, L1, L2, L3 and N (neutral), and single-phase circuits are distributed among L1-N, L2-N and L3-N; they call this a Y (or 'star') system. Between L1-L2, L2-L3 or L3-L1, the potential is 400V. The power companies claim that is has great advantages, but they fail to convince me: If you come between one of the L conductors and ground, the potential is about 115 V in a delta system, but 230 V in a Y system. Believe me: The difference is noticeable!
Even though most homes nowadays have 3 phase power, only the very most power hungry equipment are built for 3 phase: The sauna heater. The electric heating element in your heat pump engaged when the compressor (the 'real' heat pump) can't alone keep up with your heating requirements (but for all private home models, the compressor is always single phase), a few but not very many cooking stoves.
In Norway, another 3 phase application has become more popular over the last few years: We have the world's highest density of electric cars (we are responsible for keeping Tesla alive!), and their owners want to have a fast charger at home. 3600 W, which the maximum you can draw on a standard 230V 15A circuit, isn't exactly 'fast charging'. For anything higher, you need to pull thicker cables from your fuse box to the charger, and then you pull a 3- or 4-conductor 3 phase cable, usually so that you can charge your car at 11 or 22 kW.
As you say, high power motors often require 3 phase, but then we are talking about > 3000 W motors. For home use, you rarely need more than a 3 kW motor for eg. a stationary wood cutting saw or a log splitter. For industrial and farming applications, the motors are usually more high-powered, and 3 phase is standard.

Three phase to the house, I can see that happening over here what with all the electric 'green' cars. As you say you can get just over 400V which could be a real asset to battery chargers. What ticks me off is you get all these people saying heating is wrong and wasting electricty, while driving a plug in car (which wastes far more!).
