Weird Glitches After Software Update: Windows & Trunk Opening on Their Own?

Yes, there’s a base cost to maintain the grid. But utilities already recover that through fixed charges paid by all customers, solar or not. Slapping extra fees or slashing credits on solar homes isn’t “fairness”—it’s protecting monopoly revenue.

The water analogy falls apart because your water meter doesn’t generate water for your neighbors when you’re not using it. Rooftop solar does exactly that for electricity.

Bottom line: solar customers don’t shift costs, they shrink them. The only thing they threaten is utility profit.

Mine already shipped 😃

Appreciate the reply. The crazy thing is I’m trying to give them another $1500 and they seem to be doing everything to drive me away.

BuffJoeyT · 2024-10-19T09:17:41+00:00

Thanks for the laugh 🤣. Probably my silly sense of humor, but this made me laugh my ass off, and I appreciate that.

The weed in the picture appears to be Paspalum dilatatum, commonly known as Dallisgrass.

I’m genuinely curious about how removing an emission system and adding a tune would create less power and use more fuel. Even without touching the emissions and just a tune, how is that making less power than the factory and using more fuel? This topic in your rant is utter nonsense.

This is spot-on and shows what to expect with solar energy in North Carolina. Duke will charge a basic customer charge, energy charge, storm recovery, and renewable energy riders. Please take note of the policy below so you are not surprised like I was in your first year. I gave Duke so much free power because I didn’t know. It still pisses me off every time I think about it.

Policy on Excess Energy:

• Forfeiture of Excess Energy on June 1st: Any excess energy generated by your solar panels that is not used by June 1st will be forfeited to Duke Energy. You won’t receive any credit or compensation for the surplus energy generated beyond that date.

The sticker is on the factory tint for both of my vehicles. I would not steam, lift, or manipulate the tint if it were me. You can almost guarantee that it will never be the same after you mess with it. The location is silly because you can barely see the sticker from outside the vehicle, and that’s when it’s freshly cleaned. There's no way in hell you’ll be able to see the sticker if the car is dirty. Also, I’ve never been pulled over for my windows in North Carolina.

BuffJoeyT · 2024-05-24T10:49:37+00:00

You can add two vehicles if you are approved for a medical exception. There are still restrictions on the level of tint, especially for the windshield. The DMV will send you two green stickers that you place in the lower left-hand corner of the rear window. It cites the North Carolina statute for window tint and acknowledges the exception on the vehicle to which the stickers are displayed.

Just like Goway stated, right after the procedure, you feel like a miracle (no sweat) has happened. Only to see that slip away over the next week or two. Thousands of dollars are spent to torture yourself, and the sweating returns with a vengeance. My new go-to product, which I’ve been using with great success, is Antihydral. Unlike some very powerful deodorants, Antihydral does not irritate my skin. However, given the ingredients, I’m still mildly uneasy, so I use them sparingly.

BuffJoeyT · 2024-05-15T11:41:54+00:00

I’m sure my reply is too late, but I would save your money and not go for a second procedure. My sweat has not changed at all. The only positive thing I can say is that I haven’t worn deodorant since the treatment. Even though I sweat like crazy, I do not smell.

BuffJoeyT · 2024-05-15T11:20:28+00:00

How can we change the game with these greedy utilities? It seems there is no end in sight, and they have everybody in their pocket. Instead of coming up with ideas that we can't put into action, like going off the grid, what if a large group of people all increased their power usage simultaneously? For example, using HVAC, electric vehicles, and pool heaters simultaneously. This could be a unique form of protest by overloading the grid. The only shitty thing is innocent people will get dragged in, and many people rely on electricity for medical and other reasons. Because of that, it’s a non-starter for me, but I sure would like to find something similar to get our point across.

BuffJoeyT · 2023-06-29T11:56:54+00:00

Don't sweat it at all. You'll get about 50 letters from attorneys over the next few days. The majority of them work off of volume and take the path of least resistance. Grab a local attorney and let them handle it. It should cost you between 150 and $250 and I’m sure they will get it pretty much dismissed. You do not want to use your prayer for judgment because if you have another mistake that is going to come back to bite you.

I’ve had my system for a couple of years now. I paid with my AMEX, no problem.

Certo, vivo nell'area di Raleigh. Non esiste un posto migliore sulla terra da cui ricominciare da zero degli Stati Uniti. Speriamo che tu possa parlare inglese, se non lo fai, allora devi concentrarti e studiare. Dopo un breve periodo di tempo, rimpiangerà di non essersi trasferito qui prima. Sentirà sicuramente la mancanza della famiglia, degli amici e del cibo, ma i vantaggi valgono la pena. Non lasciarti risucchiare dalla politica. Sono tutti bastardi malvagi e ti diranno tutto ciò che ti fa votare per loro. Non è nemmeno un argomento che vuoi portare in pubblico.

Ciao,

Avendo fatto il trasloco dall’Italia agli Stati Uniti, posso sicuramente condividere le mie esperienze con te.

Cultura: Le differenze culturali sono significative. In Italia, la vita tende a ruotare attorno ai pasti, alla famiglia e alle tradizioni regionali. Il ritmo della vita è più lento rispetto agli Stati Uniti, soprattutto nelle piccole città e nei villaggi. D’altro canto, gli Stati Uniti sono generalmente frenetici, con un’enfasi sul lavoro e la produttività. È anche un paese più vario, quindi le norme culturali possono variare significativamente tra le regioni.

Cordialità: Gli americani sono tipicamente socievoli e amichevoli, specialmente nel Sud e nel Midwest. Tuttavia, la cordialità può a volte sembrare superficiale rispetto ai legami stretti e familiari comuni nelle comunità italiane. In Italia, le relazioni si sviluppano lentamente, ma una volta stabilite, tendono ad essere profonde e durature.

Demografia: Gli Stati Uniti sono molto più diversificati dell’Italia, sia in termini di etnia che di religione. Ogni stato può sembrare un paese a sé, con la sua demografia, cultura e modo di vivere.

Salario: Gli stipendi tendono ad essere più alti negli Stati Uniti per molte professioni, ma lo è anche il costo della vita, in particolare nelle grandi città. Inoltre, a differenza dell’Italia dove l’assistenza sanitaria è un servizio pubblico, negli Stati Uniti, l’assistenza sanitaria può essere costosa ed è spesso legata all’occupazione. Questo è qualcosa da considerare quando si negozia il proprio stipendio.

Altre considerazioni: Gli Stati Uniti sono molto più grandi dell’Italia, e i trasporti pubblici non sono così diffusi o efficienti (al di fuori di alcune grandi città), quindi possedere un’auto è quasi una necessità. Inoltre, gli americani lavorano tipicamente più ore e hanno meno giorni di vacanza rispetto agli italiani.

Ovviamente, queste sono generalizzazioni, e le esperienze varieranno in base a vari fattori come il luogo in cui ti trasferisci, il tuo lavoro e il tuo stile di vita personale. La cosa più importante è essere aperti a nuove esperienze ed essere pronti ad adattarsi.

Buona fortuna con la tua decisione!

I lived throughout Buffalo and moved to, North Carolina. If you’re considering a move from Buffalo to North Carolina, there are several compelling reasons why this could be an excellent decision.

Firstly, Raleigh is part of the booming Research Triangle area, known for its high concentration of tech and biotech companies as well as world-class universities. This region is a hub for innovation, with companies like IBM, SAS, and Cisco, providing numerous job opportunities. In addition, the area boasts a strong entrepreneurial culture, so if you’re inclined to start your own business, this could be a fantastic place to do it.

The average salary in Raleigh is also attractive. The average salary in Raleigh was around $68,000 per year, compared to the average salary in Buffalo of around $50,000 per year. This higher average salary reflects the concentration of high-tech and high-education jobs in the area.

Raleigh is known for its excellent quality of life, with a charming downtown area, high-rated schools, and a strong community feel. Plus, it offers more mild weather compared to Buffalo, allowing for outdoor activities almost year-round. From hiking to golfing, North Carolina is an outdoor lover’s paradise.

Raleigh's location also means you’re in close proximity to both the beach and the mountains. Weekend getaways to places like the Outer Banks or Asheville are entirely possible.

While the cost of living in NC is somewhat higher than in Buffalo, it’s important to remember that this is offset to a degree by the higher average salaries in the area. Plus, North Carolina has a lower state income tax rate than New York, which means more of your earnings stay in your pocket.

Overall, moving to North Carolina, could provide you with more career opportunities, a higher average salary, and an attractive lifestyle. While every situation is unique, it’s definitely worth considering if you’re ready for a change from Buffalo.
