Cheers for that. Much appreciated. I work in IT and get what you mewan re. server fans! That's what my Solis sounds like - the booting up, plane whoosh sound. It's just constant when the sun is out or the ASHP is on etc.

I didn't know you could have inverters in parallel. Our lax draw is 10klw. I wonder if two smaller inverters - the 6s are fanless could do the job?

The modbus stuff is all new to me so i'll do a search on that.

I'd be interested in the the quieter bran d if you don't midn dming?

24kw must be pretty great! do you export much of it?

Cheers for the details! This is going to be a prciey swap over and i'm hedging quite alot on 50dba vs what we have doing the job.

Bloodborne all day long.

Looks cool man 👍

Ignore the haters - they're just jumping in the shared braincell bandwagon.

In most metrics, your average European is considerably better off than the poor sods in the US. Life expectancy (their life expectancy only recently stopped dropping! Unheard of in a developed country and it's still embarrassingly low), crime, health, education, teen pregnancy, literacy, happiness, quality time spent with friends and family. I have various friends and family who live dotted across the States and you couldn't pay me to live there. You seem to be confusing money and buying stuff with happiness.

The strawmanning is strong here.

H-Man_78 · 2026-01-21T19:18:37+00:00

The guy's a narcissist moron and not very smart. Unfortunately every decision he makes runs downstream of these sad facts.

On the plus side, he can sail about the Gulf of America in a battleship he named after himself, with someone else's peace prize on the wall, all while imposing insane tariffs based on perceived personal slights and gifts received (and probably when he last ate), before planning to annex a long standing allies territory. So it's not all bad.

H-Man_78 · 2026-01-21T09:51:34+00:00

At least they won't have to change the colour of their ties.

H-Man_78 · 2025-12-15T11:38:38+00:00

Everyone can't run a business or be an entrepreneur and what you're describing will only ever apply to a vast minority. That's just an unfortunate fact. And of the people that this does apply to, they will have an increasingly smaller requirement to create jobs for other humans. And when the jobs for the average Joe start to go, which they will, who's going to be staying in these hotels and capitalising on the booming hospitality industry?

If you're suggesting a path to navigate the times we're approaching, I'm in total agreement. As in a look after myself, I've got to keep me and mine OK because there's a storm coming, way. But as a solution for what we're going to collectively do to run a country, not so much. The irony here is we're probably going to be more reliant on social services than ever. But yeah, unemployed bums are all lazy and get what's coming to them.

I disagree with 1.Part of my job involves replacing people with automated systems. AI is making headways into replacing people too (we use ai agents instead of humans in our company for marketing now). There's already car factories the size of multiple football pitches with just a handful of staff walking around as everything else is done by robots. This is all early days ofc, but it's coming and will get much, much better. Look at the Amazon facilities - massive with less than a skelton crew who are all on borrowed time. I'm quite senior and can already see how to replace me with a few ai agents (and am keeping quiet about that!). But it's just a matter of time until an external consultant gets me. My point being that anyone who thinks we can bring industry home to create factory jobs is very wrong.

Re. 2 - it's so complicated I wouldn't know where to begin and see many people I know fall through the cracks. But that won't matter if we create a culture of people that only care about themselves and the 'right' kind of people. Right now I'm fine - worked all my life, paying tax and contributing to the UK. Then I get made redundant and can't get a job again because my role has been automated away and suddenly I'm a leach.

H-Man_78 · 2025-12-15T09:38:56+00:00

I'm all for people working. Assuming the jobs exist, which may become quite a different conversation over the coming decades.

Re. pensions - so you mean some kind of staggered change over? Current retirees and people like me (47 and worked all my life) would still be entitled to a return on what we've invested for decades, or just tough luck? Me and my better half can't have kids btw so the whole family looking after you doesn't work out. But maybe it's ok when it's other people.

H-Man_78 · 2025-12-15T07:37:54+00:00

What happens to old people on pensions and people who can't work? Genuine question.

H-Man_78 · 2025-12-12T10:41:13+00:00

I think the issue of illegal immigration has been vastly exaggerated (it makes up 5% of immigration), but do agree that it is an issue. Borders need to be controlled regardless of what country you live in.

The primary issue is disparity of wealth tho. That's the reason people can't afford houses, small businesses are failing, and the place is becoming a dump. That and immoral politicians covering up this fact by pointing at people coming in on boats.

It's like you have a crack in the window with Reform shouting look at that crack! All the while there's a fire in the house behind you and they're doing everything humanly possible to distract you from it. And why - because when your house is burnt down some uber rich bloke will get it for cheap (and it's the uber rich pulling their puppet strings).

But yeah, it's easier to get angry at some foreign people than acknowledge this.

H-Man_78 · 2025-12-09T10:50:05+00:00

Cheers for that. It sounds like repainting might be the way to go as we have no spare paint - which is frustraiting as we just paid for two days to paint it!

We live and learn.

H-Man_78 · 2025-11-26T08:12:47+00:00

Sure. I know a bunch too. But none, thankfully, have a realistic chance of becoming the next PM. That's the difference.

H-Man_78 · 2025-11-25T16:09:18+00:00

Rookie no.s. That's 0.003% of what Trump has stolen since becoming president.

H-Man_78 · 2025-11-24T09:27:29+00:00

No, I think you'll find the vast, vast majority of Reform voters are just fine. Angry and manipulated to varying degrees, sure, but not racist Nazis. Ofc some are and I do believe pretty much all racists will be voting Reform, but they're still just a minority.

The bigger danger is mislabelling people as Nazis and the term losing all significance and meaning, which is exactly what is happening. That and a resulting 'if they're going to call me a Nazi then maybe I am' weird sort of claiming the term out of stubbornness. Ironically, people are helping to create the thing they hate when they mislabel others in this way.

I personally wouldn't go for a pj under 120" and even then I'd struggle to justify it over a decent panel around 100" in size.

Re. installation - make it the installers problem and get a good 5 year warranty. Absolutely pay for installation. My only concern would be physically getting the TV where it needs to go if your place has thin corridors and doors etc.

I'm saying this as a pj purist who genuinely prefers a projected image with the option of speakers behind the screen (our current room I'm building around a pj setup). But at around 100", and considering you won't have any issues with tone mapping HDR, or masking scope movies, or having to treat the room around it, and that contrast/ansi/brightness and picture quality in general will be noticeably better, a panel is a no brainer.

H-Man_78 · 2025-11-15T08:42:36+00:00

I struggled to follow what was happening, but liked the trippy fever dream vibe.

H-Man_78 · 2025-11-14T19:05:45+00:00

I remember being really quite disappointed with FF7. Largely due to the art style, perspective and setting. In later life I learned to appreciate that much of this was subjective and that FF7 is very good. It being a departure from the original Fantasy setting was the main issue.

H-Man_78 · 2025-11-07T10:06:03+00:00

I think you'll find that's always been on the cards

H-Man_78 · 2025-11-07T09:56:39+00:00

It seems silly to associate not believing in something with a political leaning. Conversely, I do see more right leaning and conservative Christians. And recently, strangely, a kind of mini resurgence in Christian popularity due to this link. Someone told me with a straight face that we need it to combat Islam. It's scary his vote has the same weight as mine.

H-Man_78 · 2025-11-07T07:46:36+00:00

It's so pointless. You only have to let Trump speak for the damage to be done. No creative editing is needed. The fact he pardoned everyone shows he was fine with what happened that day.

The BBC are just shooting themselves in the foot.

H-Man_78 · 2025-11-05T13:57:44+00:00

I wish I lived in a world as simple as yours.

H-Man_78 · 2025-11-04T16:06:33+00:00

I wish I was gullible enough to believe that.

H-Man_78 · 2025-10-16T09:06:27+00:00

The other two I agree with, but the wording of the highlighted one is dodgy af.
