Indeed, play it as a conversation deepener

Pretzilla ,

Guessing Pegasus and their ilk have an easy way around this

Make it quick there's an important call coming in about my auto warranty

Pretzilla ,

Shooting ourselves in the face to own the mets

Pretzilla ,

Not a spoiler but FYI, that biopic was 100% Al generated

Found the one wearing the top hat and declared victory GAME OVER

Pretzilla ,

Yea with solar and a transfer switch you only need a small battery powered inverter to kick on the solar juice

No need to run a generator when the sun is out

Pretzilla ,

Interesting - which other generators for example wouldn't you want starting up?

Pretzilla ,

Just get solar then. Seems like the solution you are looking for, no?

Pretzilla ,

And disclaimer: no one should do this, but when the transfer switch disconnects from the grid, would it work to jump say a breaker across the L1-L2 hots to share that 120v backfeed over both?

Clearly the 240v appliances won't work in this configuration, but the fridge on one leg and the internet on the other will still work ok, right?

Again, no one try this - it's just a thought exercise.

I think I get that, thanks. So an Island grid is less stable and could cause itself damage if two microinverters say are trying to sync up to each other vs a beefy, stable main grid?

So how does a backup battery system work when islanded? Typically also at 52Hz?

Or can it go into a 60Hz beefy mode?

It would be nice to get all the little island solar inverters working when the grid goes down!

Bats eat their weight in mosquitoes every night, unlike your typical hoa board member

It's important to build the right kind of roost.

Yep. It distracts from thoughts and loneliness. They start to think of it as a friend.

Here's Why Parents Are Buying Their Adult Kids This Scooter (www.ibtimes.co.uk)

Finding a reliable electric scooter in today's market is no small feat. At the same time, many face this predicament when searching for a secure and comfortable way of ensuring personal transportation. Given the plethora of available options, all with their levels of quality and reliability, this process often proves to be quite...

Pretzilla ,

Wow what a shitty Ai written advertisement

Pretzilla ,

Fist Full of Salmonella

Pretzilla ,

Such a beauty little ring neck snake - enjoying the warmth

Pretzilla ,

There is probably a good reason we don't - it evolved out because we seem to be benefited by hiding our emotions

Though the causal link might be the other way around - if we were better with dealing with expressed emotion we could have kept the tail

Could probably look at the taxonomy to see when we lost it and what happened to our tailed brethren

Pretzilla , (edited )

True, prehensile tails are super useful for swinging around in trees

Hyphens for phone numbers

Props to Sponsorblock
Hells to the yeah

Spread the word - the more sponsorblockers the better!

Pretzilla ,

When it comes to the Internet, there is a very serious right wing problem

AKA mostly Russian trolls pushing for division and ultimately civil war, and CCP trolls doing their thing, depending on the issue.

Pretzilla , (edited )

Yes a big risk. Both natsec and IP theft are major concerns and cars are fully mic'd, compromisable, and to top it off, plug directly into your phone.

Pretzilla ,

No, it's George Maharis, not the star of the 1960s series Route 66 (1960), who was once arrested for having homosexual sex with a hairdresser named Perfecto Telles in a gas station bathroom.

Pretzilla ,

Oooh man I really want a hermit crab toe pinch now

Last fun thing like that I had was picking up a horny hairy tarantula and getting stung on the back of my hand as he crawled around

Pretzilla ,

Or I expect compromise of anything on the LAN that can create a rogue DNS server that can override the routing table.

But I might be missing something

Pretzilla ,

The protesters wish they were shot at by shitty aim storm troopers

But seriously, history repeats, so keep the Ohio St. tragedy in mind as these current protests play out.

Pretzilla ,

And lacking destructive impulse and intent

Pretzilla ,

Maybe up your soldering game. A proper connection will be solid.

And know that solder shouldn't be used for structural support. Especially for anything that moves or is subject to vibration, etc.

Pretzilla ,

Ok then up your circus skills!

Or if you're not ready to run away and join, these solder seal heat shrink connectors are a good choice:

Overnight charging doesn't even need 50A L2.
Less than half that is plenty for most users.

Pretzilla ,

FYI thecooldown.com is a solid site with consistently good info.

I haven't dug into this particular story though.

There are plenty of petrobots here ready to cast shade.

Pretzilla ,

Legit query. and it's true as a stereotype of many cultures.

And this particular aspect is also at the heart of global capitalism that is wreaking havoc on the world.

Pretzilla ,

He was on my Southwest flight to LAX in 2001 and there was a palpable buzz among the pax.

Then ran into him while we were waiting for our rides at the white zone, which is for loading and unloading only.

I presented him with a super tacky giant gold coat button I had just found at a payphone as if it was an achievement award, and had a fun quick chat. Lovely and delightful guy.

Pretzilla ,

Just got an Intel Z84 NUC so maybe that's where the upgrade went

Pretzilla ,

And thanks to sizing inflation, they are all still size zero
