I am desperate to find a battery inverter that can be used to supplement my existing grid-tied home solar setup. I only need about 5kW and 10kWh of batteries, but everything I can find is geared towards whole-home power at like 12kW. Way way more than I need. I understand I’m in the minority and there’s probably not a market, but I’d love to find something
Maybe AI will be yet another disincentivized for higher education. When I was considering law school a decade ago, the overwhelming advices from existing attorneys was “unless you’re in the top 10% of the top 10% of universities, you’re wasting your time getting a law degree”. Seems very similar to university today (at least in the USA)
Pfsense and maybe openwrt allow split horizon DNS that allows Wireguard tunnels to work seamlessly whether you’re on or off your home network. Took me years to figure out but it’s what I use now
The only positive outcome I’ve ever heard from a DEI program is being a good hedge against groupthink, and bringing different perspectives that can solve problems more efficiently. But most DEI programs don’t seem to set that as their goal. They typically use a physical characteristic as a proxy for finding “different thought process”, with mixed results.
Is the real motivation for these folks to “work and earn money for the North Korean Government”? It says the proceeds were $3M over 5 years…what’s the value of that at a national scale?
I am intensely curious as to what you think the US FBI does. You don’t think “covert espionage to determine the origin of a potential foreign bioweapon” isn’t within the FBI’s core competencies?
Maybe swage is not the right word. I spent several weeks attempting a flare fitting connection and couldn’t get it right. I had another HVAC tech out to attempt a flare fitting and he couldn’t do it. The second tech I called did…whatever the other kind is. Expand one side of the copper tube, insert the other side, use heat and flux and solder to join them. By this point I didn’t want to invest more time into the project (again, I did every other part of the install, including multiple other flare connections). I vacuum pumped the line sets and am pleased to report they work great now.
I hope the next step for this is plug-in battery storage. All the on-grid battery hybrid inverters I can find in the USA are either single leg 120V or 12kW for $5k. I just want like 3kW dual-leg with support for a dozen kWh of batteries
My washing machine detects when the wet laundry inside is imbalanced and will do a slow half rotation to evenly spaced the wet laundry before a spin cycle
If you never plan on visiting Austria again, is this something you could simply ignore? Is there an appeals process? Very interesting situation! In USA, many tolls are basically commercial debts that can be ignored with moderate success
An HVAC tech charged me $750 to perform one swage connection on a mini-split install I was working on. $750 for $0.10 of combustibles and 45 minutes of time. Service workers are willingly pushing their customer base into these robotic solutions and I am thrilled at the idea of a robot coming out to do some work for 1/3 of the cost
I love my Starlink. It sits on the roof of my truck and is a backup ISP when I’m home and a nice way to stay connected when we go camping. 10/10 I recommend to everyone
Wasn’t Kamala Harris part of a big push to provide better internet to rural American? I thought I remembered reading $25B in federal funding with essentially 0 marginal positive outcome
I assume you’ll keep the same disdain when the ombudsman is replaced by the democrats in two years and continues the same work with new talking points?
School vouchers are the only fair way to do schooling. Rich people paying for more expensive things isn’t bad. They just shouldn’t be forced to pay for the more expensive thing that they use as well as the less expensive thing they don’t use
Where can I get cheap recycled lead acid batteries?
I like them more the li-ion because they’re more forgiving to temperature changes and have a much lower chance of catching on fire
I learned about this concept in college macroeconomics. I asked this exact question and the TA said “yeah I guess repaying debt is like destroying money” as if they had never thought of that before. The idea of lending money increasing the money supply is definitionally true.
