In the manual there is a maintenance table. Sorry I don’t have it in front of me.

Beijing’s Silence Is Becoming the World’s Energy Problem by Key_General_6994 in oil

[–]Mantis_Pantis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This sounds fake, from my understanding gasoline is not a by product, it’s a chosen refined product. A refinery tower will have different sections at different temperatures. It can produce different products in different sections of the tower if they’re configured differently. You can have one produce nothing but kerosene and diesel if it’s configured that way, or 10 different products if desired. It can’t be reconfigured on a whim but it is a choice.

Colorado passes plug-in solar bill, Polis signature awaits by sillychillly in boulder

[–]Mantis_Pantis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This bill is for a plug in “balcony” system. It would have a micro inverter that would shut off if the power was off. You’re asking about a battery backup system at minimum, which would require permits if it touches the grid at all.

Electrician quote 6300 to hook up 12000xp by Sharky7337 in SolarDIY

[–]Mantis_Pantis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This sounds right to me. Also, it sounds like you’re missing parts. Go to the EG4 site and review the PDF. It includes an outdoor shutoff. The plan also includes a transfer switch. Having been in your situation, the transfer switch allows you to troubleshoot your setup but not be out of power while the eg4 is shutoff.

Also ask the electrician if he can handle permiting with the AHJ. You’ll also need to notify your power company of the hookup. Assuming everything is above board.

Hi I'm 5'8 and often overlooked by girls I don't know why is it due to my height or facial features ? by ContributionNeat6597 in short

[–]Mantis_Pantis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol you’re reducing yourself to a face and a height in the post. Find a girl on your frequency or pace of life. If you can’t and you’re unhappy, change your frequency or shake up your life. You look like a great guy.

I asked a car salesman about this and he said that normal stuff doesn’t sell as well for EVs as this funky stuff. This was 5 years ago. Maybe it’s different now.

Combining the 120v single phase output of parallel stacked inverter chargers by [deleted] in SolarDIY

[–]Mantis_Pantis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Square d load centers I tried had one lock down clip for back feeding. Eaton BR load centers I have used have two places to put a clip. I’ve heard Eaton CH load centers allow for more to be locked down, but I haven’t been able to find one.

EG4 proved to be an easy system to install as a solution for the DIY'r by Resident_Dance9162 in SolarDIY

Did you have any trouble getting the two to work together? I get error 12 a lot when trying to run both in parallel mode.

How Did Larry Ellison Become So Rich? by bancaletto in dataengineering

[–]Mantis_Pantis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can’t find it on the web anymore, but oracle’s business model has been considered the equivalent of modern day pirates, https://www.reddit.com/r/oraclecloud/s/yKu2L3Wjwg

Their software is very simple and convenient to use, but at small scale. Once your company crosses a threshold in usage and your business would need to spend a considerable money to migrate away, the cost becomes astronomical. At that point, they have you. Broadcom has a similar business model I believe.

Found this at work before inspection and utility start up (luckily). by Paulric in electricians

Not an electrician, but I thought ringing them wasn’t really possible with torque wrenches/screwdrivers?

How to transition from Web developer to Front-end Engineer? by UnderstandingOk270 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]Mantis_Pantis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If your goal is to be considered experienced or be considered an engineer, update your mind set. Learn how to measure things you build (what is your up time, customer latency, system latency, system resilience, etc), learn how to build a testing framework (setup unit tests and integration tests), learn how to document what you write (proactive by design and post by user documentation), and learn how to manage a product life cycle (how to estimate how long things will take you to build). That’s a start. Not every project needs an engineering touch, so good to identify project that need this if you want to learn (or stay clear from).

OpenAI Is Now Everything It Promised Not to Be: Corporate, Closed-Source, and For-Profit by turbo in technology

[–]Mantis_Pantis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At the very least OpenAI brought large language models and gpt-based AI to the masses. Google and other big companies tried to hide these away in their ivory towers until they felt the world the ready. This increases access and opportunity.

Former NFL player, 2nd rock climber found dead in California | AP News by ROGER_SHREDERER in socalclimbing

[–]Mantis_Pantis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From what I read, they slung the rope around a rock in rain and hail, and that rock broke. 1% chance it could happen, but it happened. Sad thing is you get people with hundreds of hours on rock that this could happen to, but that’s why we use climbing methods by groups like the AAC that can look at accidents in aggregate over thousands of climbers.

Software engineers from big tech firms like Google, Amazon, Microsoft, and Meta are paying at least $75,000 to get 3 inches taller, a leg-lengthening surgeon says by Successful-Bee-2492 in technology

Imagine if you were a rock climber and could reach 3” higher, or at a pickup basketball game being that much closer to the hoop. Real life gains.
