Da habe ich mich wohl ungenau ausgedrückt: so meint und versteht doch niemand das Wort soziale Medien.

(Edit: Grammatik)

Wenn man sozial (im Sinne von gemeinnützig, hilfsbereit, karitativ, wohltätig) im Englischen meint,

Aber so meint man doch niemand soziale Medien? Sozial meint doch hier so viel wie "mit anderen Menschen", also nahezu synonym mit "gesellschaftlich". Gemäß der ersten Bedeutung von sozial im Duden:

so·zi·al
/soziál/
Adjektiv
1a. das (geregelte) Zusammenleben der Menschen in Staat und Gesellschaft betreffend; auf die menschliche Gemeinschaft bezogen, zu ihr gehörend ("die soziale Entwicklung")
1b. die Gesellschaft und besonders ihre ökonomische und politische Struktur betreffend ("soziale Ordnung, Politik, Bewegung")

Für mich hätte "Gesellschaftsmedien" die identische Bedeutung wie "soziale Medien".

I had no idea that is possible??? Is that special for Germany?

I mean, the regulation seems to be, but there's no fancy tech going on. I'm not an electrician but I think I can explain, as I have recently tried to understand myself. To understand why it's possible it's best to understand why the limit is at 800 W precisely.

So German wall outlets usually have a 16 A fuse and the wiring in the walls is dimensioned to accommodate slightly higher current (I think they are 2.5mm² gauge allowing up to 20 A but don't quote me on that particular part) for safety reasons. I suppose it would be the same or very similar in Denmark, or maybe most of Europe that uses 230V/50Hz AC.

Now, normally, if you have dangerously powerful load that would melt your wires, let's say 5 kW, and you plug it in to an outlet the fuse will just pop and you're safe. If however you have a 2 kW PV system connected to a wall outlet nearby, it would theoretically be possible that your 5 kW load draws 13 A (3 kW) from the mains through the fuse and another 8.7 A (2 kW) from the PV system over the same wire in the wall that is only rated at 20 A but now carries 21.7 A. And the fuse would never pop at 13 A, making it a huge fire hazard. 800 W is basically just what will always comfortably fit into the safety margin of the wiring in German houses. All systems above 800 W need to be hardwired by professionals "behind" the fuse box so that every Amp from your PV goes through a typical 16 A fuse.

still such an 800W system is dirt cheap by comparison

Absolutely. I guess the low threshold for installation allows some kind of mass market economy of scale whereas systems like yours are homeowners' luxury goods.

The "balcony" bit isn't the defining characteristic, it shouldn't be taken literally. Some people do have their "balcony solar power" on their roofs.

What defines it is limitation to 800 W and inverters that come with a normal Euro Type F ("Schuko") plug and no legal requirement for professional installation. A layman can literally plug it in to an existing wall socket. Given that they are capped at 800 Watts, the inverters are also the simplest type and dirt cheap (although often they are literally just software-capped and identical to higher power ones, make of that what you will). Complete systems (2 panels, cabling, inverter) cost between 299€ and 800€ depending on quality. You genuinely only have to buy a fixture that suits your needs and a mate to help you install it.

Proper several-Kilowatt-systems are very expensive in Germany too.

: is an interesting separator that I would only think of for time

Can someone test this with me

[–] schnokobaer@feddit.org 25 points 3 weeks ago

That looks like the plug that clogged your toilet and the plumber had to explain how to dispose of tampons properly

How does this matter? If news stations want to keep something in the news cycle they just find something in nothing to report on.

It's not that people want to hear more interesting stuff about him, the interesting bit is how easy it is for the MSM to keep or remove someone in/from public awareness. They would absolutely keep him in the news cycle with tons of petty shit like they always do, but it's pretty obvious that their backers forbid it due to people not being outraged by it but enthusiastic instead.

edit: und die Zusammenfassung von @Flipper@feddit.org enthält noch nicht mal das Schlimmste, der Täter hat vor Gericht argumentiert er sei deswegen gefahren, weil, Achtung, "die Ampel vor seinem geistigen Auge grün war" oder so ähnlich. Und irgendwie wurde darauf gar nicht eingegangen, dass dieser Mensch einfach völlig frei raus zugibt zum Fahren eines Autos mental gar nicht in der Lage zu sein.

Wo sonst gibt es sowas? Dürfte ein Pilot nach kurzer Pause weiterfliegen, wenn er nach einer Bruchlandung sagt vor seinem geistigen Auge war da eine Landebahn? Jemand der eine Müllpresse bedient und nach einem Unfall sagt vor seinem geistigen Auge war da niemand zwischen den Stempeln?

Und man kann schon froh sein wenn diese halbe Jahr Führerscheinsperre überhaupt standhält. Sobald jemand argumentiert er hänge irgendwie beruflich vom Autofahren ab fällt die ironischerweise ganz schnell.

I find it kind of normal that most products don't completely fill their packaging, so it wasn't as obvious to me as it may have been for you. But with that explanation, fuck them indeed.

Damn! I'm shocked! I would've never assumed
