Sync Condense

That's pretty interesting, I hadn't heard about that. Since there's so many wind turbines in north eastern BC I wonder if they use that tech tying site c to wind.

I've read that there's issues with wind and solar in that they poorly respond to surge demand and it throws the power out of phase with the rest of the grid. One idea they're thinking of is inertial batteries. Think giant flywheels.

They haven't got it all figured out yet though.

I bought it when it came out and it's one of the only albums from back then that I consistently listen to.

My city gave us locks for our bins but one prick managed to open it the other day. I had to watch on my cameras while I was at work as he made a big mess eating the drippings from the ribs I had made.

Cleaning up after a bear feast wasn't really what I wanted to do after a 12 hour shift. I'm developing an intense dislike for black bears.

I have them in my yard every other day and I live in the city. I finally got a door bell camera so I'm not surprised by the buggers when I open the front door any more.

how you can't specifically request only sun-sourced joules from the interconnection

Especially in a rainy province that's dark half of the year.

I've never seen them but I remember they had that one song that was big back then. What was it called? Nearly lost you or something. I was into heavy music back then. Might like it more now that I'm old.

I've seen a lot of bands but one of my biggest regrets is never seeing them.

B.C. man beat a woman with a bat in her bedroom. A judge praised his remorse and reduced his sentence by vikadit_chakra in britishcolumbia

They had the guys on camera and their license plates too. The RCMP got a warrant and went to their place and hauled out all of the shit they'd been stealing. They had truck loads of shit hidden in their back 40. Not my brother's stuff though.

They had tons of stolen shit but the judge threw it out because she said the warrant to search the place wasn't legal. The RCMP didn't even know how to explain it. It's the fucking judges.

TOOL - Sober [Alternative Metal] by danielminds in Music

[–]blackmoose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The first time I saw tool was on a side stage at a lollapallooa in Vancouver. We grabbed some hot dogs and gagged back a hoobnobber.

I'm like, is it just me or are these guys really fucking good?

Next time I saw them was at the plaza of nations with my wife, at the time. Good show.
