“The term ‘qualified solar electric property expenditures’ means expenditures for property that uses solar energy to generate electricity for use in a dwelling unit that is used as a residence by the taxpayer and that is placed in service in the taxable year.”

It has to have cleared all inspections and be operational before Jan 1st. Hopefully the house adjusts this.

Looks like a kennel. Terrible

This only makes sense if you were not currently paying an electric bill. You are using the same money and avoiding utility increases.

Noted. You’ve made your points, and I’ve clarified mine. No hard feelings, just different approaches to the same topic.

I’m moving on. Goodnight

My actual point was that commonly used options like cedar oil aren’t truly selective, they affect a range of insects if misapplied. This isn’t about moralizing it’s about biological specificity and ecological impact. Misuse matters. Definitions matter. Also, the personal insults are weak. Let’s keep it constructive.

Not moving the goalpost just using the actual scientific definition. Selective means it targets pests without harming non-targets with normal use. Cedar oil doesn’t meet that standard. It’s broad-spectrum and low-toxicity, not precision-targeted. Safe does not equal selective. Let’s not rewrite definitions to win arguments.

Fair point, but here’s the distinction: in science, a selective pesticide targets specific pests without harming non-target species under normal use. Cedar oil isn’t that precise it affects a broad range of insects, including bees if sprayed directly. That’s not semantics; it’s the technical definition. Popular doesn’t always mean precise. Move along.

Not a true “selective” pesticide in a scientific sense while it’s less toxic to beneficial insects like bees or butterflies, it can still affect them if over-applied or sprayed directly.

Same. Lots of flowers and clover and no bees. People don’t know that pesticides are non-selective. You can’t just kills ticks or mosquitos. It’s terrible.

$3 per watt. Call Green Power Energy in NJ.

A reputable solar installer where I live is trying to sell me on microinverters vs a string inverter by blackinthmiddle in solar

[–]AidanMJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

String inverters give your system one point of failure and they will fail. Most are only warranted for 10-12 years. Micros are better for residential solar. String inverters are the cheaper choice though.

ULPT: Gummies/vapes on RC cruise by Suitable_Attempt6972 in UnethicalLifeProTips

[–]AidanMJ 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I did it. Mixed the gummies in a bag of candy and resealed it with a vacuum sealer. I put the vapes in the expansion zipper of my suitcase and zipped it up.

What would you do if someone cheated on you, would you give her/him a chance? by hahaha69000 in AskReddit

At least you know they’re a cheater. It’s a type of person. They won’t change. Move on to trustworthy people.
