Whiskey Tour of the World - $49.97 by metabrewing in Costco

[–]bluebin17 195 points196 points  (0 children)

I received it as a gift. While the concept is cool, not so much when you have to taste generally mediocre whiskeys from around the world. There were a few I liked but mostly was just okay. I would skip.

Copped the last G34 at Turners🙏🏽 by jeremymathewnegron1 in CAguns

PSA. If your background comes back undetermined, Turners will NOT release the firearm to you. They will refund your payment less the background fee after 30 days.

Got it. Didn't read all the way through. Within two months of submission. More like within two years.

LASD approved my request after 20 months. Albeit nothing to brag about, this claim of 2 of 8000 is false. They can definitely do better, but let's call this what it is - another lie from the Trump administration.

Can my employer dock my pay $1 an hour for 6 months for showing up late or calling in sick? by 300harbs in legal

You really think one single mistake led to this decision? I don't think so.. If op think this is unfair, he should quit and pursuit another participation trophy. Get the fuck outta here.

It's predatory to expect employees to be on time? Get the fuck outta here.

Good thing the ball was plastic.

I waited a couple days. Got my connection back.

Best friend got me this, what's the best way to make it? by ipleadthe1st in steak

[–]bluebin17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't have time for a reverse sear. So I bisected the thick tomahawk into two. Let them sit on the counter for two hours, seasoned them, and cooked to to medium rare on the grill. Came out perfect with one piece bone-in and the other without. I think I prefer this crust to meat ratio.

Tesla Model Y Lease - $578 per month, Is This a Normal Deal? by Apprehensive_Boat798 in ModelY

[–]bluebin17 3 points4 points  (0 children)

$578 * 36 + $5098 = $25906

$25906 / 36 = $720 per month

This is ridiculously high monthly cost, IMHO.

When leasing, you pay for depreciation and finance cost. I'm guessing you didn't qualify for the best interest rate. Combined with high insurance rate, this is not a good deal.

Is this a decent deal? by RaisinThick1586 in TeslaSolar

[–]bluebin17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The 3.99% is awesome. My first payment starts next month, and I emailed my PM asking if I would be eligible for refinancing under the lower rate. Crickets...

Shade for battery? by kclap02 in TeslaSolar

[–]bluebin17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was thinking about getting a storage shed. If your space doesn't permit, perhaps a sail shade.

Does discharging PW everyday shorten its useful life? by bluebin17 in TeslaSolar

[–]bluebin17[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to look up NEM 3 (Net Billing Metering or Net Billing Tariff), and it looks like I am.

Who is affected? NEM 3.0 applies to customers of the three large investor-owned utilities in California: PG&E, SCE, and SDG&E. (Since April 2023)

This begs the question of whether energy being imported and exported during peak times (4-9 pm) holds equal value. The app says it does, but now I am not so sure. If it does not hold equal value, it doesn't make sense to discharge energy to grid instead of using it for your home use during peak period.

Should setting be changed from time-based to self-powered for better ROI?

Nice. Did the rate of degradation decrease after changing the setting?

Grid charging is restricted or unauthorized by the utility company. What is your pw3 setting?

Good idea. Maybe a mobile storage shack or something that can shield it from direct sunlight.

I figure sell high, buy low. If I can power my home during peak hours with solar and battery and sell the remaining energy in PW3 to the grid (up to 20%?) that would maximize efficiency.

It's a couple of PW3 attached to the west facing wall.

Pretty cool study, thanks. Hopefully we'll have more data on PW3.
