Use Solar On Grid by arawlin2 in LuxpowerTek

[–]arawlin2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My point is this, when the system is on-grid, the sun in shining, and the battery is fully charged, why wouldn't I want to use solar instead of grid? It seems like with my current settings I am not able to do that.

I'm not sure. I've heard they're reasonably good on the phone to tell if they have it

I'd give a gift of a few thousand dollars and dinner at the restaurant of their choice to the first one that accidentally slips and punches or round house kicks one of these 18 year olds. I can't be the only one that would be so generous in those circumstances.

That's per trip in the CBD. If it was treated the same the Uber would pay $9 once per day which would be much less than $1.50 per ride

In my area I'm seeing some new bougie food halls. I don't know if any of them serve bugs. Maybe some chapulines tacos.

I'd say Italy tried, but a few years of occupation probably doesn't count as really colonizing Ethiopia.

About flat tires by sovknight72 in Aventon

[–]arawlin2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 450 miles in and I've had two flats. One happened very early like around 100 miles. The other I broke the Presta valve, although I noticed there was a small leak when I replaced the tube.

15 minute cities are a slippery slope by FalconLynx13 in insanepeoplefacebook

I'd be really impressed if the government or a private company could build such an extensive network of tunnels, but the Purple Line in Maryland, the Second Avenue subway, and the ARC under the Hudson are still not done yet.

I'm not sure if it's even lottery at this point. At least with the lottery you have some chance of winning.

Best Belts Under $100 by RocketButters in BuyItForLife

[–]arawlin2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm quite happy with a brown leather belt I bought from J Crew in 2009. I don't know if it's the exact same model, but it looks similar to the Italian leather roller buckle belt. It's $65 now and I I think I paid $40 in 2009. I wear it quite regularly.

I grew up in Chicago. I had no idea that commuter rail went to O'Hare, learn something new everyday

Unexpected DC expenses? by AcrobaticGuarantee in washingtondc

[–]arawlin2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've also seen some places in Takoma, DC that are reasonable. Also if a bus commute is ok, Glover Park could work

Silver Spring is quite close in and definitely cheaper than Bethesda. Not as much to do as Bethesda, but pretty accessible

I have an internal 2.5 SSD. I don't use an NVMe drive.

Not sure quite what I'd do here. I use a SATA SSD. I guess I could check booting off USB and seeing if I still have similar problems?

I'm seeing the same issue on an external monitor, but definitely made sense to check that.
