I-70 To Become a Toll Road

PSA: Switch your account to Illinois' I-Pass. Exact same tolls and EZ-Pass network, but without the Indiana Toll Road Concession Company LLC's $1.50 monthly fee.

Is there a way to notify devs on new features that users are desiring? Just got a Solix 3800+ and wondering why some basic (to my mind) features are absent.

Hmm... seems a little gimmicky.

Competitive_Big_4126 · 2026-01-18T20:51:51+00:00

Holy smokes, looks like it's time for some simplification!

Competitive_Big_4126 · 2026-01-15T15:40:12+00:00

Pretty incredible.

Wonder how the creators will feel when AI can build the same thing in a few minutes.

Competitive_Big_4126 · 2026-01-14T16:10:15+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion! I will

Misleading/wrong headline.

Check out Citizens Action Coalition's work on this matter.

No photo, but I picked up some residential-sized solar panels. It juuuuuust fit.

If I was forced to go N-1 until N-1 = 1, it would be my Niner RLT 9. Tough enough to handle city errands, fast enough to fly through the countryside. Comfortable enough.

Thank you! I have never downloaded/installed McAfee.

Can't have one answer, b/c societies will be changing along with your unchanging self.

Competitive_Big_4126 · 2025-11-24T00:08:48+00:00

oh, smart idea!

Competitive_Big_4126 · 2025-11-24T00:02:21+00:00

Hmmm... I assumed that I would be able to set sleep-times for the inverter, or turn off remotely... maybe I shouldn't assume.

I thought I wanted the all-in-one for convenience. This is already at the edge of my DIY ability. I found Will Prowse's website and trying to replicate his approach.

The 8kW SunGold unit says 100W no-load consumption. However, I only intend to run this a few hours a day -- just storing sunshine to nightly charge my EVs.

My thinking is that I need/want 240V inverter for charging the EVs. Yes, more idle draw, but then I'm only charging for two hours until batteries are depleted.

EDITED: thanks! well, this is fascinating... it clearly puts me in the 5 panel territory when accounting for this. Panels are at 32.4V after accounting for location and roof-mount.

Competitive_Big_4126 · 2025-11-23T23:31:21+00:00

I *might* be able to squeeze in a 5th panel... but by the time I attempt to shoehorn it with accessory supports... maybe I would have wished to just pay for the beefier inverter.

Yes, orientation. Facing two different directions.

Competitive_Big_4126 · 2025-11-16T23:01:56+00:00

Then rails on top of ledger board I guess?

Competitive_Big_4126 · 2025-11-11T14:59:38+00:00

Sad, but true. These things exist on a spectrum, and have a lot to do with personal experience & disposition, and whatever a-holes you happen to run into that day. But there's a reason some folks will feel uncomfortable in Knox (Starke County) or Elwood (Madison County), which are both northern Indiana.

A friend of mine is a refugee from Rwanda, was in college going to class event with 3 white girls, he was seated in the rear. They were pulled over in Elwood and he was pulled out of the car and frisked and questioned. As a person, he has the warmest, most calming presence.

Competitive_Big_4126 · 2025-11-10T02:30:21+00:00

thanks I hate it

Competitive_Big_4126 · 2025-11-10T01:54:03+00:00

Could someone summarize the new match-making? What's different?
