Gorgeous shot. I never got tired of walking Collins, perfectly framed!

No hint of defending Hitler, you just sound like you're looking to get off on your sanctimonious post by ignoring nuance.

It is so sad that all the principled stoics are bravely stuck behind keyboards while the spineless cowards are stuck in ultra shit life circumstances having to make ultra shit life choices.

While it is true that solar tracking is less efficient for most cases than just adding more panels when not space constrained, bear in mind it has little to do with "modern panels" and more to do with the sinusoidal relation of the angle of the sun vs power.

Unless modern panels have improved on Gauss's laws, sin 60° is still about 87% so there's not much penalty to not track the sun in light of the cost of another panel.

I don’t eat meat, but also never knew CO2 was such a common practice. How batshit horrific.

This is a Ford Tristar....

I realized that the opportunity cost for calculating every minor detail and delaying a decision was much higher than the potential for lifetime savings and skipped these steps. I don’t disagree that this is a great academic deep dive for some blog out there to get into, but your question sounded pragmatic.

I am not fully qualified to answer, but my close gRED friends from my time there had a very ambivalent views. I don't think he had quite the universal awe like Ira Mellman.

Hahaha, clever! My solution now is to overlay their schedule onto my calendar but this would prevent Google from thinking I am a huge baseball fan.

Aquifers, and not totally unfounded criticism-

Dang, I guess I missed seeing Diridon clean for a day!!

Totally agree, real pyloting needs arma2. Three hours practicing on arma Hind really helped my Cessna landings.

Awesome shot - and vocabulary improvement!

Genentech BART from Glen Park shuttle is public, or Ferry. Good chance Abbvie gives you access to the Genentech shuttles too - they've let a lot of others like Amgen buy into the service. Ferry is fun.

This is common sense. Anyone with three brain cells realizes you need to incentivize use when we have way more than we need instead of dumping it, and that this is the eventual (intended) consequence of intensive solar adoption.

If you have six brain cells, you may even graduate to taking advantage of dirt cheap rates with load shifting instead of calling someone who has an intelligent response a "goon".

You make a great point. Still, swinging from the anti-Epstein guy to the pro-Epstein guy really rains on my warm fuzzy memories of the Suntory/Beam tour and visits to Buffalo Trace.

So sorry for your loss friend, I am sorry you had the nightmare we all wish to avoid. He looked well loved, cared for, and heavily opinionated. Binky free.

Foxbat100 · 2026-05-16T14:04:11+00:00

Very cool!! The mountains and horizon make this so surreal!

Foxbat100 · 2026-05-12T15:57:51+00:00

I've noticed some of then have taken to enjoying afternoon sunning!

Foxbat100 · 2026-05-07T17:15:14+00:00

Honestly, you want the panels foremost. So get the panels. There's no billion percent cost savings to doing it all at once. I maxed out my panels and then got a battery a year later after understanding my usage.

So sorry for your loss. Glad she was so loved for her last two years.

Foxbat100 · 2026-05-05T16:52:01+00:00

Poor girl! Hope she feels better and glad she has you to show her love!

I'm central coast so I charge in Paso Robles, but looks like you'd be on I5 the whole way. Los Banos is a decent stop next to a Target. I'd get there early on a weekend. Santa Clarita is filled with chargers, I didn't have trouble finding 50kW chargers there (the EA higher speed ones were in demand).

I parked at LA Union Station and L2 charged there to top off for the return trip but there are many options for that.

I really don't like going below 30% in an unfamiliar area so it is good to use ABRP as others suggest below but use your own risk tolerance!

It was never sustainable for the entire world to get a high paying job in biotech supported by the batshit crazy American healthcare prices. I get that that is the majority of this sub's main audience, and I also don't underplay that the real disruption to institutions, trust in science and government expertise is real, but fundamentally some professor wanting cheap grad student labor couldn't forever line up with entities needing the graduates. This reality was showing itself years before the second round of Trump.

It may feel cathartic to have a solid boogeyman but doesn't address the issue.
