Good news Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale have the rights to approve any sequel or remake. They have both said absolutely no to any remakes.

Eh. Even if Musk still had his Iron Man in real life image the cyber truck would still be a complete failure.

Saying it's a shitty car and a failure by only looking at it as a car seems like good journalism. This isn't a good product that failed because people don't like Musk anymore.

Post menopausal women described herself as woman emeritus. She had a wicked sense of humor.

Thanks for the link.

I've got a islanded section for off grid and the balancer transformer. It's just the settings for the battery don't seem to allow for no battery export only local use.

I have frequent power outages so I want to export unused solar but save battery for the house. It feels likes there should be a setting allowing that.

I worked on a terrain render of the entire planet. We were filling three 2 Tb drives a day for a month. So this would have been handy.

I've got a 11.64Kw setup it went live in July 2023 and I just hit 40Mwh generation. It does about 90% of my power needs. That's including charging two EVs and a big AC.

I would have liked to go bigger but where I live going above 11.7Kw requires a bunch of extra paperwork and insurance.

Overall no regrets. I've generated about $6K in savings and it cost me $13K so I'm about halfway to break even. Power rates have gone up recently so my savings should also increase.

As far as battery recommendations there are a lot of factors.

If you have net metering and a good stable grid. It's not worth getting a battery.

If you aren't able to export and are going to generate much more during the day then you use battery makes sense.

If you can export but lack net meeting you have to look at the expected price difference between buying power at night and selling during the day. It may be more cost efficient to add more solar instead of a battery and use the extra generation to offset buying at night.

For battery if you want backup when the grid is down you need islanding. Otherwise everything shuts down for safety when the grid does.

The other thing to consider is a single line inverter vs micro inverters on each panel. If your panels are going to get the same amount of sun a single inverter is usually better.

If you have something like a tree that is going to start throwing shade on one panel much sooner than the others then micro inverters are better.

With a line inverter if one panel in the line has 50% shade and the others are in full sun the whole line is going to be at 50% generation. With micro inverters just the one is going to have low generation.

Micro inverters are less efficient however and as you have one on each panel you have many more points of failure.

Let me know if you have any other questions. I did my installation myself so I did a lot of research.

Here is a recent generation vs usage day for me.

It's a safety requirement. If the power company powers down a part of the grid for workers to safely perform work they don't want your solar to kick in and kill the worker.

If you want your battery or solar to power parts of the house when the grid is down you need islanding. That disconnects part of the house grid from the street grid keeping any workers safe.

I've also got a solis inverter. Do you have any info or tips on your modbus bypass?

So far my only complaint is I hate the battery control settings. I haven't found a way to set it only charge from solar and only discharg when the grid is down.

Dogs use scent more then humans. However they still use sight and sound much morfe then they use scent.

Dogs use body language and vocalization to communicate with each other. Watch two dogs interact they look at each other and will growl, and bristle or tail wag and play bow to indicate what they want.

They look at faces on humans because that's a major component of how we communicate.

Smell is not how they communicate. It's just how they know where other animals have been.

Sent is just an id for dogs. They use body language with humans and other dogs. They also pay attention to threw same parts of human faces that we do. They don't do this with other dog faces.

My dogs know the difference between going out pants and around the house pants. We also have to say preambulate when talking about walks unless we want to excite the dogs.

 

Authorities say at least 18 people are injured after a Delta Air Lines plane flipped upside down while landing amid wintry conditions Monday at Toronto Pearson International Airport.

The Federal Aviation Administration says 80 people were aboard Flight 4819, which originated from Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport.

A portion of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore has collapsed after a large boat collided with it early on Tuesday morning, sending multiple vehicles into the water.

At about 1.30am, a vessel crashed into the bridge, catching fire before sinking and causing multiple vehicles to fall into the water below, according to a video posted on X.

“All lanes closed both directions for incident on I-695 Key Bridge. Traffic is being detoured,” the Maryland Transportation Authority posted on X.

Matthew West, a petty officer first class for the coastguard in Baltimore, told the New York Times that the coastguard received a report of an impact at 1.27am ET. West said the Dali, a 948ft (29 metres) Singapore-flagged cargo ship, had hit the bridge, which is part of Interstate 695.
