Most residential 200A electrical panels use tin plated aluminum busbars. https://www.eaton.com/cr/en-us/catalog/power-connections/bus...

Most commercial panelboards and transformers also use aluminum buss.

As a common-law legal system, I would expect Ireland to have something similar to Canada's Criminal Code identity fraud.

    403 (1) Everyone commits an offence who fraudulently personates another person, living or dead,

        (a) with intent to gain advantage for themselves or another person;

        (b) with intent to obtain any property or an interest in any property;

        (c) with intent to cause disadvantage to the person being personated or another person; or

        (d) with intent to avoid arrest or prosecution or to obstruct, pervert or defeat the course of justice.

    Marginal note:Clarification

    (2) For the purposes of subsection (1), personating a person includes pretending to be the person or using the person’s identity information — whether by itself or in combination with identity information pertaining to any person — as if it pertains to the person using it.

    Marginal note:Punishment

    (3) Everyone who commits an offence under subsection (1)

        (a) is guilty of an indictable offence and liable to imprisonment for a term of not more than 10 years; or

        (b) is guilty of an offence punishable on summary conviction.

I got my diagnosis shortly after the DSM-5 release but my psychologist also gave me the DSM-IV Asperger's diagnosis at my request. I tell people I'm an Aspie, and that it is considered to be on the autism spectrum. I prefer the Aspie label because it is more specific. My interpretation was that the DSM-5 grouped it under autism spectrum distorders. I've never met a psychologist or psychiatrist that considered the autism spectrum to be a single condition.


And TCXOs are surprisingly cheap. Less than $2 when I looked at some of Abracon's offerings.


KL has subways. Even better is the KL city bus network which is free, air conditioned, and has free wifi. Despite Malaysia being a nominally muslim state, I found it multicultural and tolerant. If it wasn't for the heat and humidity, I'd consider it a great place to retire.


If you leave KL city and go to the surrounding areas, such as Petaling Jaya or Subang Jaya, it becomes more manageable (entering KL from there feels like a 5-10C temperature increase). It gets better the further you go of course, but for tourists that may be a bit tricky as it won't be as easy to get around (at least not without a car).


I was in KL for a business event. Can't say I cared for it much but it was just a few days. Didn't interact with public transit at all.

Did like Penang afterwards though.


KL?


Kuala Lumpur


It is rather long-winded, and ends with a donation request. I don't like that style of writing.


I had problems with Wise too. Here in Canada there at least is some federal regulation for money service providers.


We install rodent guard mesh on all our residential rooftop installations. The Canadian Electrical Code requires it in most instances. Rule 64-210 5):

Where the dc arc-fault protection referred to in Rule 64-216 is not located at the module, photovoltaic source circuit insulated conductors and cables installed on or above a building and installed in accordance with Subrules 1), 2), and 3) shall be provided with mechanical protection in the form of an enclosed raceway or other acceptable material to protect against damage from rodents.


It is hard to set the posts with tight tolerances. I used angle brackets to get +/- 20mm of adjustment room.


Also wooden posts can do very odd things while aging. Twisting, cracking, bending. They are typically much more mobile than steel or aluminum.


I used 605W LONGi TOPCon panels for my vertical PV experiment. If they are too tall, 440-450W JA or Jinko TOPCon panels are 176cm.

Ditching the rails and bolting to the panel mounting holes with galvanized angle is a lot cheaper.
