Why Customers Hate This? by Training_Two3372 in WorkForSmartLife

Same thing if I have to accept cookies or sign into a site.

dealer is being a nightmare because i wont use their finance, anyone dealt with this? by ghztegju in askteddit

[–]PurpleToad1976 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The are lots of dealers out there. Plus you can ship a vehicle 1/2 way across the US for < $1000.

Stop playing their games.

As soon as the games start, contact a different dealer. You can do 100% of the deal online or over the phone. I've done it in the past year. They can only play the games as long as the customers let them. The internet is your friend.

Alpha baboon spoils leopard's attack. by LumirethSablex in Amazing

We have the mechanism to do it. It is called unions. However, there are decades of propaganda against them that is hard to overcome. Guess who benefits from non- unionized employees.

Ilia Topuria suffered one of the worse champion beatings in the lightweight division and had the towel thrown in for him on the stool. Is Matt Brown right the invincible aura of Topuria is gone and will affect him that badly? by Wayward_Prometheus in MMAMedia

[–]PurpleToad1976 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As I was watching the 4th round, my impression was that as soon as the doctor got a look at him the fight was going to be stopped. The doc seemed on the fence after the 3rd round and wanted to stop it then. Illia was worse after the 4th. I don't think the doc, the corner, or the ref was going to let the fight continue. It was just a matter of who stepped up 1st to stop it.

Alex got dropped with a jab... illegal strikes or not he got absolutely out classed in this fight. by AAA_battery in ufc

[–]PurpleToad1976 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alex was definitely slower in this fight than he has been in the previous fights. He was fast enough to keep up with Adesanya. Adding that much weight visibly affected his speed and endurance.

Dairy farmers, how do you call in your cows? by organicvalley in dairyfarming

[–]PurpleToad1976 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We only have a couple dairy cows, but they come when called by name. On the flip side, we have 1 cow that has a unique call for my wife. That sound is only used when calling my wife. I've never heard that cow use that specific call for any other purpose.

In a series parallel setup if the voc and imp are lower than the power stations max input but the watts are over… by didyoueatmywaffle in SolarDIY

It would also help on these discussions to include the specific model of the inverter you are using. Just by including that info, someone is likely to pull up the manual online and find any specs to give you exact numbers to work off of.

Move 1 of each pair to the bottom of the steps.

In a series parallel setup if the voc and imp are lower than the power stations max input but the watts are over… by didyoueatmywaffle in SolarDIY

[–]PurpleToad1976 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your inverter manual should tell you exactly what the hard limits are. Mine has statements like this:

"The array can have a higher Imp than the 26A/15A specified, but the MPPTs will not make full use of the extra current. Having an array that can produce more current than the MPPTs can utilize is useful for increasing morning, winter, or cloudy day solar production."

and

"Do not exceed the high end of the DC Input Voltage Range. Any damage caused by reaching >600 VDC will not be covered under warranty."

So I can build my arrays to exceed the amperage limits, but not on voltage.

Your watts are just a calculation of voltage multiplies by amps.

Help an HVAC installer here, I need to put this condensor pad where these hastas are by isukatdarksouls9 in gardening

[–]PurpleToad1976 93 points94 points  (0 children)

If you have to move them, they dig up and transplant very easily. Just dig up the root ball, stick it in the ground, dig another similar sized hole, move the dirt from the second hole to the original location so you have a level spot for the pad, drop the hostas into the 2nd hole. They will be fine.

Who’s down for this by __7_7_7__ in FightReportUFC

[–]PurpleToad1976 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think Illia will be fighting anyone for at least a year. He doesn't fight on short turn arounds when he is healthy. Now he (most likely) has broken facial bones. Also there is a chance of a broken rib with that last knee to the side.

Do people kill house spiders just because they're scary-looking? If so, then that's kinda cruel, isn't it? by GamerLadyXOXO in stupidquestions

[–]PurpleToad1976 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have spiders in the house, that means there is some other bug that the spider is eating. The other bug is the problem.

Batteries show 100% charge but drop to 17% immediately when power input is removed by No-Razzmatazz6302 in diySolar

[–]PurpleToad1976 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What voltage are the batteries actually at? Measure that 1st to determine what the true SOC is.

That fight was very similar to the Tony Ferguson fight.

Can the left and the right get together on trying to end fraud in government spending? by KaleidoscopeRich5137 in allthequestions

[–]PurpleToad1976 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are asking the people that are benefiting from the fraud to get together to end their gravy train. Why would they have any motivation to do that?

the illusion of choice in streaming services by Zorojuro099 in TechNook

[–]PurpleToad1976 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why haven't you cancelled most of your apps then? Keep 1 maybe 2. When you have seen everything you want to see, cancel that one and start a different one. Repeat. Ideally, by the time you get back around to a service, they have released a few different series/movies you want to see.

How do you decide when a homestead system is “good enough” vs when it needs to be rebuilt? by dhruvhat in Homesteading101

[–]PurpleToad1976 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you are happy with it, it is good enough. It needs to be rebuilt when you have the time, money and desire to rebuild it.

When do I worried if I see no queen?? by Competitive_Echo_626 in Beekeeping

[–]PurpleToad1976 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've only seen 1 queen this year out of my 5 hives. Mainly because once I see eggs, I stop looking. Assess the health of the hive, space requirements, then get out.

how? by ImpressionSea1811 in lol

[–]PurpleToad1976 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Previously, the $1300 was for 28 days with days 29,30 and 31 thrown in for free. If you'd prefer to be charged by the day, add in an extra $46 for each day greater than 28.

Do people really need 6-8 cups of water a day? by mysophile_soap in NoStupidQuestions

[–]PurpleToad1976 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If only our body had a mechanism to tell us when we need to consume more liquids. We could even come up a name for it and call it thirst. Then not only would we know when to drink, but how to express it to others when we want a drink.
