Leperflesh posted:We don't need it? Some folks have 3-phase setups in their garages, and it's not difficult to get it installed if you want it, but what normal household needs are there that demand three-phase setups? In Germany it's mostly used for kitchen ranges. Note that European three phase is 240V from any phase to neutral, 400V between phases. The US "high leg delta" system is quite different (240V between phases, 120V phase-to-neutral for two of them, and 208V between the "high leg" and neutral). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-phase_electric_power#Three-wire_and_four-wire_circuits

TooMuchAbstraction posted:That reminds me -- can't you accomplish a significant portion of your heating/cooling in a normal house by digging a shaft down to that 55-degree range, looping it around a bit, then bringing it back up? Blow a fan through the resulting tunnel and do heat exchange with the ground. Seems like it'd be a great way to do some low-energy-cost climate control. It might not be legal to do that. For example, I live in an area in southern Germany where geothermal heating is restricted, due to incidents like the one mentioned in this Wikipedia article.

Nitrox posted:Cold water wash only, constant sewage smell from open plumbing stack, vibrating washing machine supported by 2 shelf brackets. What's not to love? Over here, washing machines have built-in heaters and require only cold water. (And I guess fear of the vibrating machine of doom overhead would be quite effective at distracting you from the smell.)

Suspect Bucket posted:Oh man. Going back and looking at the listing, Bolderhouse is awesome! It's on top of a hill looking over a town in the desert. It's got a den that's nothing but bookshelves, a nice pool, a fantastic patio... Man, all that thing needs is some updated paint and paneling on the inside, and some updated land and rock scaping on the outside. If the electrical and plumbing and if the house is securely bolted to the boulder. You could also chain your bike to it, saving on concrete.

MH Knights posted:Weren't the Germans super close to actually adopting the H&K G11 even though it likely would have been a train wreck? When I was in the Bundeswehr in 84/85, we were told that yes, the G11 would be introduced Really Soon Now, and it was going to be Great. I didn’t know too much about it, so I just shrugged it off as more bullshit. Five years later the wall fell, and I guess that was what killed the G11 - post reunification there just was no way to justify the expense. Then some time ago I saw this video. Hoo boy, giving this to the standard army grunts would have been a shitshow. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGKcvM2Hh4g
