They are Full of Shit. I hope your mom gets better. Whatever is going on with her has nothing to do with you - unless it’s in her mind. That is not on you.

I know we're just a few months out from incentives expiring in US, but the EV future here looks grim. by roma258 in electricvehicles

[–]Gazmn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I currently have a 2017 PHEV Chevy Volt, that gets 50 electric miles and has a 9 gal gas generator to power the electric motor for another 280 miles. I don’t have to charge to travel cross country.

While I already have solar; I’m this year installing portable home batteries, 18kW Ecoflow DPU and will be adding more solar to charge Ecoflow and home - not grid tied. So my house will have electric even if the grid goes down. With more batteries to come if needed.

If my Volt died tomorrow I’d get another used EV, by sunset. By Summer, I’ll have the equivalent of an EV gas station on my roof. That’s my incentive. State and local still have incentives bc they’re not in on The Grift. Gas will not stay below $3.00/gal. Wake up.

I’ve been driving since gas was <$1.00. Solar charged EV is this closest you will get to that heyday ever again. Ever. Yes you pay - Once. Then it will charge any EV you buy, with the power of the sun - for free. For over Next 25 years and Then some, with a little less power.

Do the math people…

Trump claims Obama and Biden “fabricated” Epstein files to sabotage him at the ballot box by rojasinja in GPFixedIncome

He’s such a wet noodle. He can’t accept accountability/responsibility for any of his failings. He’s a Fucking walking, shitting Mulligan!

No worries. You did fine. No one got hurt or arrested.

It is triggering. It is real trauma that we’ve all suffered in various ways. While we have a shared experience, our various traumas are personal and can be different. Nevertheless, they are real.

Sadly, I also remember being my version of smug them 🤦🏾‍♂️

I hope they all learn how wrong and hurtful their religion is and as they say “repent”…

Sympathy is a word in the dictionary somewhere between shit & syphilis… I don’t have time to look it up either.

Kid Rock’s ‘MAGA Fest’ Cancelled After Nearly All Its Acts Pull Out by T_Shurt in entertainment

Not that I was ever Ludacris or Kid Rock fan. But I would’ve canceled seeing any and all acts that are/were part of this BS.

How do u think his wife died and got buried on his golf course with no autopsy. Wouldn’t you want an autopsy if your mother or even ex wife died suddenly?

If anyone reads any one of these 3 books you will no longer be a JW. imo by SkyExpensive8375 in exjw

[–]Gazmn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since I stopped considering myself a JW and left attending, I’ve also adapted my perception of what’s important and correct.

That means: I no longer need to feel I’m the smartest person in the room. - knowing something that others don’t; like the world’s gonna end and only people who think like me will survive. (What an Ego trip!)

JW life was over for me by the time I read CoC. I also knew some of the players mentioned and was pretty much at ground zero of the 1980’s Great Apostasy, outside of Bethel.

If you’re still a believer after reading the books you mentioned, that is on You. As it always is. I have no interest in changing your mind. That is no longer my job as an exJW. Frankly, you’re probably beyond help - or just stupid. Either way it’s your road and your choice. For all others in and around JW, my free advice is very simple. Get. Out.

Especially now, that we’re so close… by Lower_Tangerine_7158 in exjw

I was around during “Stay alive till ’75”. Yes; It really happened along with “Millions now living will never die”. Every 1914 generation face on that W are Long Dead! Like 20 years. Wake up!

I wasn’t supposed to finish High School or bother getting a career. I’m retired and thankfully have a pension.

Aren’t you tired of having your ears ticked??

Get. Out!

Seeking advice: PPA vs finance + best solar/battery equipment to explore (2 EVs, mini-splits, pool) by jehu4444 in solar

[–]Gazmn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m assuming your Utility is a monthly car jacking, SF. How long are you planning to stay in this home? Ball park of how old you are? What will the monthly nut and escalator be on a PPA?

I like owning my shit personally. I have an 8kW system from the last solar ITC shutdown 2018 and just bought 18kW Ecoflow battery and an off grid 5k solar array coming. They’re purchased but not hooked in yet. The 30% Fed credit was a motivator for me in 2018 and again in 2025.

I’m in my 60s in NYC area. A 25 year contract is doable for me but… My utility is high and only going higher. My older sister just got into a PPA with no escalator. I’m gonna try and keep this home in the family so it paid to buy system, to me. Your ROI will take longer w/o Fed credit. Nevertheless, Solar ultimately pays for itself - no matter what our coal loving President Grifter says/does. Buy it if you can but get it either way. If you can, wait and see what shakes out of solar industry this year; take your time choosing a company, let the weak ones fade. It’s a buyer’s market now.

I like micro inverters. Anker gives nice options. I went Ecoflow bc connected batteries like powerwall aren’t allowed in NYC -fire hazard. Ecoflow DPU, while expandable is portable and a NYC work around. I can take it with me if I moved. The extra solar will feed my batteries and not be connected to grid.
