I mean she’s not dem leader anymore. I know she still represents CA as dean . I just find it strange I’ve seen so many articles mentioning her as though she’s still in charge.

Edit - and now the recent articles claiming Obama wants Biden to step down too, which is supposedly conjecture and hearsay. It all reads like a hit campaign of known democratic leadership names, and it seems really odd how little coverage there is of the various democratic representatives in full support of Biden.
Regardless of what Biden does or doesn’t do, what is with this Pelosi kingmaker bullshit, and why does she have so much standing and influence despite having retired?
Going to rep PNY here. Great quality, on par with Samsung and Sandisk, but usually only 2/3rds the price. I’m using a PNY 512 GB U3/A2 card in my Steam deck and it’s been great.
You have my sword.
My understanding is Retrodeck is a cleaner install, being self contained as a flatpack… and that is.
Emudeck works with standalone emulators that are just hooked into EmulationStation. That means more frequent updates. Also, Emudeck supposedly had better performance due to this, but take that with a grain of salt.
And…?
Not defending Apple here, but everyone with a vested interest in AI is doing it. Nobody is asking permission or respecting copyright in this race to the bottom.
Get a quality bamboo pillow with crushed memory foam filling. You can control how much fill goes into the pillow, and if you change your mind you can always add or remove some of the fill.
That's fair. For me, I don't have enough roof space or space for battery to do a fully off-grid system. I would have liked to, but I've got mountains to the west and I only get good sun on the southeast facing side of the house, so unless I do a porch expansion and battery capacity to size ratio improves, grid-tied was my best option.
My power company is a not-for-profit co-op and offers 1:1 net-metering, as well as reduced costs for off-peak hours for solar and heat pump users. I've managed my energy use to the point I'm at net-zero usage (101.5% production to my usage), but there are low production days where I have to tap the grid and high production days where I produce way more than I draw.
Edit - other considerations as well, e.g. - solar installer guarantees the work for 15 years (panels) and 10 years (battery) and will fix any issues free (if they're still in business, if not it's guaranteed by Solaredge given professional installation). And Solaredge tends to not work with individuals. Honestly, I did look into self-installing and IIRC I would have saved maybe $9k or $10k doing a DIY install, but given the tools I would need, knowledge and resources to do it right, time required to do it alone, and the lack of grid access/backfeed... it was very much worth the extra cost to me. And that additional cost was technically refunded to me when I filed taxes.
Not everybody is going to want to do it themselves I get that, it’s actually very easy and straightforward...
Not really. That likely depends entirely on where you live. In my county you're required to have electrical and construction permits for the work, and the install must be carried out by solar installers with at least one licensed roofing professional and the electrical portion by a licensed electrician. You also can't connect it back to the grid for net-metering without further inspection by the county once the work is completed. Part of the cost was all the licensing and permitting, as well as submitting the official install plan to the county for approval.
That's not something I would undertake myself. Not only would I not be able to connect to the grid, but my home would be uninsurable.
Not region specific, but this is relevant: https://www.itekenergy.com/installation/installing-solar-panels-without-a-permit/
Makes sense, that’s like 80% more solar capacity and you’re probably paying the Tesla markup on the batteries. You’d also need a larger inverter, as 2 powerwalls inline would give 10kW output (5kW each). My battery and inverter are Solaredge, and the inverter is only 7.2kW.
Sounds like the price was relatively in line with mine, just different parts and larger scale.
Yeah, but JIF is like… sugar and palm kernel oil garbage. It’s a peanut butter product, not peanut butter.
Peanut butter should have one or two ingredients, max. Peanuts, and maybe salt.
