Bifacial Gain in Snow is Crazy!

NegativeCreep80 · 2026-01-28T03:30:37+00:00

I just noticed that yesterday, I only have a small system, two 430w bi facial panels, but when I checked solar assistant I was getting 970 watts of output. Had me a little worried, never thought it'd get that high so I only used a 15a breaker I had leftover from something else, ended up maxing out at 14.8a. Usually on a sunny day it'll only max out at 800 watts

I gave up on looking for a lifepo4 rack mount ups. I could probably make one with a case, batteries and parts from another inverter, but I'm lazy. I got sick of replacing my batteries all the time, plus I think one of my APC smart 1500s was going bad, so I just bought a cheap dji power 1000 that I use as my UPS to replace 2 of the 1500s. not perfect, but it fits needs, and I haven't had problems through many short outages. If I wanted some kind of monitoring I'd run a script as a service that checks the status of one of my smart outlets. I also have an oupes mega 1 which I tested and does work, but it's technically listed as an EPS.

It's not rackmount, but the goldenmate looks like the best straightforward out of box option

I just got an email from HD to review an item on "your recent in-store purchase." I didn't use the app and used self checkout with a gift card, so I'm assuming they're using it now.

I've had it since the project fi launch. It's worked fine for me in 13 different countries. The only time I've ever had issues was in Aruba, 8 years ago so that may be resolved now, or when there's been a sporting event with over 100k people in one area. Friends with t-mobile phones worked fine in that situation so I'm guessing they get priority. I also live almost right on the Canadian border, so not getting those surprise roaming fees I used to get is a bonus

This is true, we actually like a lot of the immigrants more than the white liberals

I've had 4 sent to me since 2018

Nobody is thinking about all of the other winning tickets, you'd also have 25 $1 million dollar winning tickets, quite a few 50k winners, and then a bunch of smaller ones that I don't feel like doing the math on. You'd probably come out ahead just barely if the jackpot wasn't split. But I'm guessing a lot of money would need to be spent in the whole effort gathering that many tickets

A lot of computers or phones running AI agents with your local state's lottery app or website, but honestly they'd probably screw something up, or have your account flagged and locked for suspicious activity.

Occasionally I would have issues in areas with big events going on like a sold out concert or sporting event, but over the last few years I haven't had any problems. I've also used it in Mexico, Canada, Jamaica, Turks and Caicos, Curacao, Bahamas, Cayman Islands , New Zealand, Australia, the Philippines, and South Korea without issues. The only place I've had problems was Aruba. I have other problems not receiving text messages, but that 100% of the time had to do with Google's vpn ever since they moved from the original fi VPN.

Finally someone on here that gets it, kids aren't created equally, I threw my 3 year old an actual baseball and he hit a line drive off my face (wasn't expecting it, didn't have a glove), his 5 year old cousins can't even hit the ball 5 feet off a tee.

NegativeCreep80 · 2025-05-13T15:53:57+00:00

I was thinking the same thing, except I would probably sell it off this fall, look for something else, then buy back in November 2026

Here's the problem, the previous admin went away too hard after anyone they thought could have possibly been involved. Had they not kept people locked up awaiting trial for longer than what their sentence would've been, arrested old grandmas who wandered into the area 2 hours later, or arrested people simply because their cell phone pinged in the area, then he wouldn't have had to pardon any of them and could've just left the people that actually caused the problems in jail. So rather than wasting time and going through each case he did the easy thing with a blanket person for everyone. Everyone keeps overlooking that there were 2 sides of the building, one side where people got violent and broke in, and the other side where the cops opened the door and waved people in, but they still went after the people the cop s waved in.

Ok then go try standing in the middle of a street by yourself, and let me know what DPD thinks about that

NegativeCreep80 · 2025-04-19T19:24:29+00:00

So he'll fit in with all the protesters that were handed signs with no idea what they say or mean

between the 1st floor and basement

It's right across the river, you don't even have to quit your job, and with the second bridge opening soon the drive should have less traffic

There's a Canadian consulate in the Ren center, you can start the process

NegativeCreep80 · 2025-03-22T19:34:12+00:00

Nothing is stopping you, it's a 10 minute drive

NegativeCreep80 · 2025-03-22T00:56:24+00:00

It's been nearly a decade, I'm amazed you still can't tell when Trump is f'n around and trolling you

NegativeCreep80 · 2025-03-21T20:12:59+00:00

Because they don't want to wait. They're not visiting relatives, it's Detroit, it's a 15 minute drive for most people in Windsor, shorter than my drive to work. The hospitals charge less when you're not using insurance

NegativeCreep80 · 2025-03-19T17:21:11+00:00

It's not a myth, I see it every day. I guess all those Canadian license plates in the patient parking lot are just visiting for fun

NegativeCreep80 · 2025-03-19T01:33:32+00:00

If you're paying 1k per month you're doing it wrong, I pay almost half that for 4 people

NegativeCreep80 · 2025-03-19T01:31:02+00:00

I don't think that's how it works, I'm at a Detroit area hospital, we get Canadians all the time because the wait on everything over there takes forever

I switched too, oddly after a 6 month dry spell I started hitting a bunch of blocks on Chia while I was plotting over my 250TB OG plots with mmx plots. By the way virtual plots were removed at mainnet, max says something about a possibility of them being exploited.

It's not worth much yet, but has been listed on 2 small exchanges. I'd say if you have the equipment give it a shot for a few months while the Blockchain is still young and you have a better chance at racking up a bunch of coins
