That's fucked up, man... The time has come for violent protest. We need to organise and stop this bullshit. Half decent coffee in a healthcare setting is a human right.

It varies depending on where in the body you measure. It's also function of your heart rate. A heart will pump up to about half a cup per beat, and that will be replaced by the next heartbeat. To transfer that volume to speed, we need to think about the size of the vessel- the aorta is large, so that half a cup doesn't have to move far to make room for the next lot in the next heartbeat. However, counter intuitively, this doesn't mean it moves faster in the smaller vessels. Because there is a greater total cross sectional area across all of the small vessels, it slows down. The water in the big hose moves quick, to supply lots and lots of small hoses which move slow. Searching around tells me it ranges from a fast walking speed in the aorta, to something like the second hand on a watch in some capillaries with a low oxygen requirement.

In Australian AFL, otherwise known as Aussie Rules, it's pretty common to need to jump high enough that you get another person to launch you. Imagine that from horseback! I'd watch.

Don't forget about the inverters.

Low voltage (such as the output from a solar panel) suffers badly from losses over distance. Centralised solar makes up for this by having a large amount of panels close to a central inverter. There is going to be a distance tipping point of cost vs losses, if this is short and you need a lot of inverters, that's going to become a major expense.

I haven't finished setting it up yet, so I can't offer an opinion yet, but the way I've gone is a doorbell with electric lock control- mine does 2 locks, and you can set the 2nd lock to be a doorbell instead. The 'doorbell' output is a contact closure, which I just wired to a standard doorbell chime. Network down means I still have a doorbell.

Hard agree! Although my personal version is less about acquiring than having.

Even if someone acquired a billion through the most ethical means possible, the simple fact that they are holding onto that disgustingly imbalanced amount of wealth is unethical.
