Gawd. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t around here.
I’m beautiful and tough like a diamond…or beef jerky in a ball gown.

I’m pretty sure it’s that Dwazoup bot (?) and they’re just spraying out posts.


and “crisis actors”


Nice. Yeah, that’s what I’m looking to do. Grid is just there when I’m not generating enough onsite.
The good thing is there seem to be plenty of options these days.


Yeah, that’s a good place to start. Seeing that it costs almost $50/mo just to run my server/network gear was really eye opening. The stack averages about 290 watts (thank the gods I downsized when I did!) which comes out to:
(290/1000) * 24 * 30 * 0.23 = $48.02/mo
Still cheaper than cloud subscriptions, though.


Yeah, I was looking at Anker’s version of that, but it doesn’t have quite as much flexibility as some of dedicated hybrid solar inverters I was looking at. I haven’t read the specs for the EcoFlow version, but Anker’s is positioned more as a UPS/backup power for your house rather than primary power (unless you’re fully off-grid).
The hybrid inverter I was looking at can be configured in “UPS” mode (backup if your power is out) or only to use utility power if there’s not enough PV and the batteries are low as well as some other combinations.
I’m still in the planning phases since I don’t want to be installing on the roof or burying conduit in the winter lol.


Thanks. And yeah, being able to install solar eventually was one of many factors when I decided to buy a house on a whim rather than rent (not so much a whim as “ahead of schedule” due to unforeseen circumstances surrounding the house I was currently renting).
$0.56/kwh power
Jesus. My condolences. I hope anything you feed back is credited at retail rate.


This has been the push I’ve needed to pull the trigger on installing solar. My electric rates have gone from $0.09/KWh to $0.23/KWh in the last 5 years. Just got my bill after reducing as much as I could (my house is all electric sans the furnace). “Surely it’ll be under $100 this month,” I thought. Nope.
I’ve got 800W of PV currently in an ad-hoc setup* but I’m putting together the plan for a 3.2 KW system that can auto switch between battery, PV, and grid without backfeeding. Minus the batteries, the whole setup is going to cost me about $7,000. (Batteries aren’t required and will be added later)
Grid-tie is technically legal in my area, but the hoops you have to jump through are insane and there’s a high likelihood of being denied by the power company over the most bullshit of minutiae (seriously, they treat someone possibly feeding back 400 watts the same as if you were a MW-scale solar farm).
*The ad-hoc setup is just 4x200W panels in a 2S2P config. I charge an Anker PowerStation from that and use it to power random stuff. It’s currently powering my server stack while charging from the panels. :)

The baguette cushioned his fall and the striped shirt scared away any predators. The beret was just a beret, though. Even if you’ve fallen down a 130ft ravine that’s no excuse to look dowdy.
(None of this is true…probably)


I’m sure we’re past that now and firmly in the “you’re just gonna have to deal with it” phase.


Thanks. Now I’m gonna start calling AI news summaries “tAIbloids” and make fun of the people who use them. 😆

Obviously they match, but which came first? The attitude or that haircut?

Because if neither “side” is going to stand by democracy, why are we even bothering with the charade?
It’s shitty, but, like you said, I get it. He’s also not wrong.


Lol, well, maybe if Eeyore would can it once in a while and just let people enjoy things…
Not widely enough.

Even if they do eventually air it, it would be enlightening to play “spot the difference” between what they didn’t want to air and what they finally do. My guess would be CBS doing something like
sed s/Trump/Biden/gto the script.
