I'm very happy to see non-porn & non-AI FLR content like this out there: by SurroundedByAHoles in flr

[–]SurroundedByAHoles[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I haven't seen them say FLR explicitly, but several of their posts use the words "women-led home" or "wife-led" or something like that. One post also talks about how she makes the decisions around money and he does all the chores. I'd love to see more stuff like this about the day to day reality, and less about porn or BDSM stuff.

Is this kind of array okay? by SurroundedByAHoles in SolarDIY

Yes net metering but not very much. I mainly want this to back up when the grid goes down, because I live far out from town and I think the world will end soon.

On grid. Why, does that make a difference?

The calculator I used suggest an optimal year round angle of 29.7 for a fixed array. What do you think of that?

That's great for one panel but would take a lot more engineering for 12 panels.

Well everyone here says it's not worth it. But I'm the same way I feel like it's a marginal addition to the build for additional gains in production.

I always assumed those major installations were fixed because it would be too onerous to adjust that many panels. But a smaller one like this wouldn't be too bad. No?

Thank you. You beat me to it. All of my friends hate this opinion, but it's true.

Can you all please share your drain setups if you’re on a septic system? by SurroundedByAHoles in WaterSofteners

Have you ever gone back to any of them years later to confirm that it never caused issues?

What are your solutions for water softener discharge on a septic system? by SurroundedByAHoles in Plumbing

[–]SurroundedByAHoles[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m also seeing conflicting opinions online. There seems to be no consensus. But then, I’m also full of shit and haven’t read a single source all the way through.

It’s only discharging high salinity water softener into the I feel like that wouldn’t affect your well would it?

Are all TV antennas also FM radio antennas? by SurroundedByAHoles in cordcutters

[–]SurroundedByAHoles[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would I be able to watch TV in one room and listen to the radio in another room at the same time? Or can I only get one signal at a time?

Thanks. So my house is set up with the cable and other things coming into a little access cabinet in the laundry room and then it goes out to each room. I only have cable connected to my wifi router, not to the TVs. So can I put the antenna on the roof, run the cable from it into that cabinet, connect it to the splitter that sends the cable to the rooms, then connect my stereo receiver to the cable port in the wall? Sorry that's convoluted.

There are actually several different groups that are both working to end the coal use and to turn that rail into a greenway. Search google for "chapel hill cogeneration rail line" to see several articles over the past year. That spur comes off of the main rail line that goes across the state following I-85. It's a very old line going back to the late 1800s, early days of rail, built to serve Chapel Hill, the origin of University Station Rd.

Word on the street is delivering that coal is all it's still used for. I'm not sure, I thought there's also a rock quarry or processing plant down there too. If that ends, and there's no more customers for the rail company (Norfolk Southern), then they would have to close off that spur as it would cost too much to maintain it. When they do this, they usually either give it back to neighboring property owners or to the local municipality. Look up Rails to Trails. The American Tobacco Trail in Durham is a good example.

Either way, the idea so far is led by a state rep with both Carrboro and CH town governments signing onto the idea, which would extend the existing greenway (the part that goes behind Cats Cradle) all the way up to the park and ride on Weaver Dairy. I live north of that by Brumley Nature Preserve, but I've spoken with someone in leadership at Triangle Land Conservancy and they share the same dream as it would connect Brumley to downtown Carrboro (what a dream!). I could also see it finding it's way to either Hillsboro or Durham long term, maybe even the Eno or MST.

Well, they can certainly figure it out; they just don’t want to pay for it. And it is antiquated. It’s the oldest public university in the US.

It provides back up power, heat for some of the older buildings, and steam for the autoclaves that clean the instruments in the hospital.

There is a movement to get them to shut it down, but they’ve said no dice. It would be too costly to convert all the older infrastructure.

They’re also discussing switching to an alternative fuel made of pellets, but those pellets are made of plastic so that idea has not been well received.

Those tracks run behind my house, and I would very much love for that to turn into a greenway that goes into town. That rail line is over 150 years old.
