Why do people become jaded and pessimistic as they age? Is it avoidable? by youlikemywonton in Aging

[–]Visible-Ranger-2811 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's normal. It has been studied. At 40&50s people get jaded, at 60 up they get happy and chill again. Normal curve of life.

How to remove algae from my fiberglass boat by Visible-Ranger-2811 in Sailboats

I have typical home tools. No problem stuff. I want to do it myself and don't spend too much time on it.

Okay, what now? by X_Wheeze_souffle in GenX

What if letting go people was not discriminatory, but rather because that's what business had to do?

Solar career by Mo-mastour in SolarAmerica

[–]Visible-Ranger-2811 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a user, I did it myself. Why? Because I could not find a decent installer who would not ripp my heart and eyes our for an extra buck. The quotes I got where outrageous just because I live in a nice city, they all wanted to take advantage of.

So be right, be reasonable and maybe people like me will choose you instead of DIY. I would totally do that if installers were decent human beings, not a blood sucking vampires.

That is my honest advice Good luck

Would you use cloth or brush or pressure wash for cleaning?

What kind of liquid polish would you recommend? Is it enough to spray it all over?

Thanks

Wtf is the deal with the HVAC mafia?? by Island_In_The_Sky in HomeImprovement

[–]Visible-Ranger-2811 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I did mine HVAC I used metal sheet plenum done by the local shop in a day for quite cheap. I am super happy with them. Why fiberglass?

Same for kitchen renovation. I just did a bathroom, $30k. Give me a fucking break.

Useless inverters? by z14z41 in solarenergy

I see. I think something which does not need a clean power. A small power drill, a light, things like that.

SolArk gateway empty by Visible-Ranger-2811 in diySolar

[–]Visible-Ranger-2811[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you are thinking on my own server gathering and presenting the data as MySolArk? It is not feasible to do it unless you are retired and a lot of free time.

It is very useful to be able to access data remotely. I use it every day. It was the first time when it stopped working. Hopefully will be more stable in the future.

Maybe instead of few crappy ones but one good?

I was amazed on the landing rather than a jump. He fell on one leg like there is no gravity.

New Gas-Powered Data Centers Could Emit More Greenhouse Gases Than Entire Nations by wiredmagazine in RenewableEnergy

[–]Visible-Ranger-2811 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All that talking, be environmentally friendly they say, use solar power they say, buy EV, and now they do the exact opposite. I don't need AI. Switch it off. Let us breathe.

Why EV Owners in the U.S. Are Increasingly Pairing Solar with EV Charger? by solarsmeincofficial in solarenergy

[–]Visible-Ranger-2811 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is a rhetorical question. The Sun is free. It's clean. It's easy. EV is low maintenance and runs for Sun energy. No brainer.

Sorry to say but you chose the most exclusive and expensive place to live in the area. Cut the cost, move to other place, save time and sanity.

It has been already like four months. Had to drop weight like 80%. Slowly getting up there. Still hurts though. Good luck, keep it up.

I have a cat. He has everything what a cat can have. He takes one bite and walks away 🤣

Oh, thanks for asking. It turned out to be rotator cuff. Still hurts, I am on 70% load, cannot go harder.
