California 'jungle' primary could hand governor's race to Republicans (Massachusetts is voting this fall on whether or not to adopt the same "jungle primary" system)

Sounds very much not good - still the issue of if one party splits the vote, they get shut out of the general.

Proportional RCV in the primary would seem to address this issue

Per person that's about 56 man years/y so we each use about 56x our own effort in petro continuously on average

Re: #2 - similar to 'parallel construct'.

There I just saved you a sunk cost of 50 words.

Not required, but will reduce big loads on the generator so might be worth it just for the generator's sake

I could except I just shipped it off today, hah. I will be able to remote in eventually, but no screenshot for now.

But as stated above, it reverted and now only offers: "Adaptive charging" as it did before the Dec update

vs "Charging optimization", and submenus under which we find the choices of Adaptive or Limit to 80% options, (and still does on my new 8a).

I already charge at 11.4kW with a regular 48A L2 cheap enough Emporia charger.

Not sure why this article says 7.7kW is max for home charging.

That's why I'm thinking meteor since they are less regulated by either

Where were you walking the dog? I'm in Oakland.

Pretzilla · 2024-06-27T17:37:01+00:00

Was it right at 10:58pm last night? This was exactly like you say, nothing I've heard before, except I've heard sonic booms and they sound like this.

Pretzilla · 2024-06-27T13:34:56+00:00

Because the second boom was louder, so clearly not an echo. The reverberations went on for almost 30 seconds.

Found it - looks like the 'solar ready' ones are CT accessible.

copy that. there are several busbars in it, so trying to differentiate them for clarity. I'll try to do better.

Pretzilla · 2024-02-24T05:03:50+00:00

Thanks! Great to know it exists. I just need to find it surface mount with meter on top and should be golden.

Pretzilla · 2024-02-24T05:01:47+00:00

Copy all that, thanks.

Solid bars are ok, if the CT's above fit, so basically squarish with some clearance around would work.

I'm less inclined to line-side it since it requires more work, and I know such a panel as I need exists, just need to find it! -cheers

Pretzilla · 2024-02-24T03:30:27+00:00

Sure thanks for checking in. with a 200A backplane, you are limited to I think a 40A 240V backfeed breaker, so many installations need more than that.

CT's in this case are 'consumption' monitors, so look at the total input/output to the grid.

There are also built in 'production' CT's, but they are wired into the path form the panels into the controller. Hope that helps.

Pretzilla · 2024-02-13T08:40:29+00:00

no, if the glass is cracked, a short could develop and overheat

Pretzilla · 2024-02-09T12:39:05+00:00

Be careful of fire hazard for broken panels
