  • My guess would be yes, somewhat, probably. but maybe not much. As he says in the last part of the video: If it gets hot, you have a problem.

    Better ask an electrician.

    The devices sold as “EV wall chargers” are not really chargers. They’re simple power suppliy units, whether or not it has bells and whistles to time the charging and what not.

    The actual battery charger is in the car. It will attempt to suck as much energy from the PSU as it can and it will itself balance the load and all that. Having a separate unit also trying to regulate the load seems like something that will inevitably create more heat than necessary somewhere in that chain.

    Generally speaking you do not need to protect the car from unstable supply. It will protect itself.

    I will still recommend getting a proper “EV charger” to ensure that it can utilize all the phases unlike a regular garage plug. Also to ensure that it is properly grounded, which can be an issue for some cars.

    At least here in Europe, where we have 3 phases. It’s much better to have all 3 phases wide open and let the car suck a little on each, instead of having it overloading a single phase through a granny plug.

    I know the American 2 phase circuit is different, but I still believe it’s better not to put any more heat inducing obstructions in the chain.

    Well, you can’t make Tetris in HTML without including some other language that has loops and variables.

    I’m also not sure if you can do it in Excel without using VBA, which is a programming language. Excel doesn’t do circular logic in the document sheets.

    Anyway the issue or joke is the lack of definition of “programming”.

    HTML is a text encoding system. It’s not that different form something like the Morse code. It’s only instructions for how to decipher a series of codes. It takes input and presents it as an output, starting from the beginning and working its way to the end.

    In my very unofficial opinion, a “program” is something that is able to “run” by itself, so that the code itself has instructions for which part of the code to run.

    If you decipher a morse code, it doesn’t suddenly have instructions that force you to go backwards in the code and decipher from there or to jump to different sections. The text output might tell you to do so, but if you follow the text, then you’re doing something else than deciphering morse code.

    HTML works the same. It start from the top and interprets its way down. It can have some conditional statements, but nothing that will make it go backwards and rerun the same instructions again.

    The interpretation is of course more advanced than Morse code and it can call other languages to do stuff, so HTML is basically a document describing a job procedure in that way. The individual jobs can be reoccurring tasks, but the document itself isn’t.

    So in my opinion it’s not “running” anything. It’s just a document being printed on screen.

    I’ll admit that “one-shot” programs are a thing, and documents with variables do exist, so it’s not clear cut. A programming language should be capable of those things though, and HTML isn’t one on its own.








  • To be fair… most of those sights are piles of mud with sign posts.

    For tourists I’d rather recommend the cold war museum, the original Lego land, the beaches on the west coast, hiking along the east coast fjords, the lakes at Silkeborg, the desert at Skagen, the ruins at Kalø, the various nature reserves.

    There’s plenty of stuff to see. May, June and August are the best times to visit. The rest of the year has unpredictable weather.
