You could try fermented drinks like Kefir or Kombucha? Otherwise I quite enjoy sparkling water with some enhancements like lime, or cucumber mint flavour drops

Thanks for the NZ link - just bought that bell as that's a pretty reasonable price & includes free shipping :)

The entire country of New Zealand would disagree with you there - air heat pumps are our primary source of heating.

> Reddit is not centered on user profiles and followers and yet

This is not entirely correct anymore, many of the new features added to Reddit over the last 5 years have focussed on expanding precisely this aspect of the site.

Not sure where that 150ml came from - our metric country (New Zealand) 1 cup is 250 ml.

That split can also be recognised by the change in naming- social networks vs social media.

I've been using Mylio on my laptop which might suit you? My main requirement was that I organise photos using my file structure for maximum portability, and this works well with that.

Another options (particularly if your org runs off MS outlook & Teams) - pencil in the review time as an appointment in your calendar, so your status shows as 'Busy' during that time. If that's not sufficient, you can even make it a Teams meeting with only yourself in it, so then your Teams status would show that you're in a call.

That's not the only version control through - if you use Excel connected to Onedrive or Sharepoint (like most major orgs in my country), then you have version history built-in tracking every edit going back months.

It be worth looking up the I-V curves of solar modules on a datasheet - a key factor is that the maximum power point of a solar module (for a given set of environmental conditions) is really dependent on the voltage that it is running at (whereas the current is more constant based on the light level, up to a certain voltage), so to get the maximum power out the resistance of the load needs to be matched to achieve that maximum power voltage (V_MP).

This is what MPPT controllers do, as this maximum power setpoint will change as environmental conditions change.

> A solar panel's VoC should be its maximum possible output in ideal conditions (open circuit)

I think this is where the confusion arises - what do you mean by ideal conditions? Ideal conditions for solar generation are not necessarily at the same time as the highest voltage operating conditions. VoC tends to be specified at Standard Test Conditions which has light-levels representative of a sunny day (1000 W/m2) and a cell temperature (not ambient) of 25 degrees C, which is already a lot cooler than most panels would typically be at that level of irradiance. So really, the label is already specifying a voltage higher than what you would typically experience during times of max generation.

However, the max voltage could exceed this rating at times when there are cold ambient temperatures with enough light for the module to function, but not enough sun to meaningfully heat the cells. So in this scenario you may have maximum voltage, but you're far from maximum power nor at 'ideal conditions'.

This is information is generally stated on the module datasheets, which specify the Open Circuit Voltage (V_OC) at Standard Test Conditions (STC), and then provide a temperature coefficient for how that voltage changes with temperature. 'Maximum voltage' is very arbitrary as this is directly dependant on the lowest expected operating temperature, hence the industry has landed on stating these values at standardized conditions (STC and NOCT) allowing for direct comparison.

The label on the modules themselves tend to also provide these ratings at STC, e.g. this label from Jinko specifies the Open circuit voltage and also summarizes the conditions assumed for STC:

While I agree that the label could also add the temperature coefficient, I'm not sure if it's reasonable to expect that specialist electrical equipment details all of its operating parameters on an attached label without the expectation of consulting a datasheet or manual. For specific products that primarily target non-specialised consumers however, a different labelling approach may be warranted.

But that's not true - V_OC for PV modules is nearly always spec'd at STC or NOCT, which is clearly stated on module datasheets along with the temperature coefficient of that voltage.

E.g. choosing a random Jinko datasheet: https://jinkosolarcdn.shwebspace.com/uploads/JKM600-625N-66H...

V_OC is specified at both STC and NOTC, and the datasheet clearly states which environmental conditions accounted for in those test conditions.

As an outside observer of US culture I disagree, the normalisation and glorification of violence has always seemed to be a distinctly American value to me.
