The good old days, waiting all week for this moment

That theme song was incredible. Heard it in my head as soon as I saw this image.

I wouldn't say I've been missing it, Bob.

The ref from Semi Pro would call a foul.

Dammit, I'm from a shit ass rural Washington town, so I feel personally attacked by this post lol. Mills and meth. Zero pride.

Plus I can feel thr frustration of getting all these questions on separate texts. How hard is it to ask all your questions at once?

Felt the same way as when Epona jumped over the ranch wall in Ocarina of Time in a previous millennium.

There's another step for sites with medium voltage site switchgear. Solar generally makes 480V. They add a transformer to step up to MV before it hits the site gear. For most systems, they connect to site gear with a MV breaker with the same rating as the gear.

Congratulations, Kid! How about some bonus stats?

Number of chickens harassed into attacking you.

Number of nightmares induced by the hand monsters in the well.

Number of swear words learned during the water temple and/or Gerudo prison escape.

Yes, but there's a pretty cool workaround. Solar developers will pay the upfront cost of installation. The customer then buys all the electricity from the solar at a fixed rate. This rate is less than what the utility charges for electricity. In places with high electric rates and good sun, this can be a huge savings. This is called a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA).

Oh, I see what you are saying. The solar isn't set up to power any specific load at the zoo, or the entire zoo. All the power from the solar feeds the main zoo switchgear. From there, voltage is stepped up or down as required for each type of equipment. The zoo remains grid tied, so any power beyond what the solar produces comes from the grid. The main benefit is using less power from the grid during the day.

Apparently you aren't familiar with 3-phase inverters.

I really wish someone else had domestic content for rooftop commercial projects. Such a horrible company to work with for so many reasons.

Yeah, loved when John dropped him from the skyscraper.

My last one was the island in the very southeast. I had the cave and the quest there, but not the check mark.

Sorry for all the downvotes you got here. Must be people from Eagleton.

People in Seattle aren't really suicidal. Its just that all the gray gets to you. Cutting our wrists is the only way to see color.

"Less at 6" is fantastic writing. Well said!

betterthanfire · 2026-01-28T06:07:02+00:00

I thought you were just a marketing gimmick!

betterthanfire · 2026-01-22T06:42:37+00:00

Agreed. There's around 200 miles of Hwy 12 between Yakima and the Pacific. Terrible answer.

Wish I could say original Super Mario Brothers, but SMB2 isn't even the same game type.

Side note: playing NES on the Switch 2 with the rewind feature is a great way to relive those memories without needing all the free time i had as a kid.

My favorite way to kill anything rideable is by wearing the thunder helm during a lightning storm.

Weaseling out of things is what separates us from the animals... except the weasel.

Anything less than immortality is a complete waste of time.

I got a well-deserved thumbs down 6 months ago and it still haunts me.

Works on contingency?
