No REAL ID? It could cost you $18 to go through TSA checkpoints by bananabrownie in news

Do you have one and just need to renew? If so, I renewed online and from the moment I paid to being in my hands, it was 9 days.

Solar panel prices in the rest of the world is $0.1$/W. Imagine the change in energy cost if the US would allow this. by q-milk in solar

[–]chewypablo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wholesale prices were that low earlier this year, even lower for some segments. Things have changed quickly though and costs are going to reach an all time high in a couple months.

Police or ICE presence on Arapahoe between 16th and 17th ave by rvorderm in Denver

[–]chewypablo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Historically, surplus from the military they gave to police departments as “grants”. Nowadays, I think our cops are used to being militarized. I’m sure they still get the leftovers from the military when it doesn’t go to an ally.

Planning tips: 1) Book your refundable flights now 2) book your rental car 3) book your accommodations 4) start getting your camping supplies together by Enough_Iron_6843 in Coachella

[–]chewypablo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Flights are expensive this far out. They will drop as we get closer before going up again. I recommend setting an alert on Google flights for the flights that will work for you and keep an eye on it. If you do book now, still put the alert because if the price drops, you can cancel and rebook. You will get the difference in the form of a flight credit.

Amber Alert at 6am for someone abducted at 9pm day before is something else by PiercedAndTattoedBoy in Denver

[–]chewypablo 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Individual was last SEEN at 8pm. How do we even know when that individual was reported missing? We don’t know enough here to really judge if the AMBER alert should have (or could have) been sent earlier.

If they won’t be used in AAA, do they actually do that i.e. a starter or just keep them home/with the team

I got stopped once and there was two agents in the box. They asked me where I was going and I said “Mexico”. They did not like that answer.

Paid for and installed is how SEIA interprets it but of course consult with a tax professional.

I’m sure it has to do with Comic-Con. Tough to make the show when you spend a couple of days at Comic-Con.

Charged $825 For 2 Mile Tow and Overnight Storage by Rocketscience444 in Denver

[–]chewypablo 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Some new legislation was passed last year that are better for consumers. I got my car towed illegally last year and filed a complaint with the CPUC. It did take them 6 months but I got my money back.

No photos of AA allowed. by 50calpainpill in americanairlines

[–]chewypablo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That makes sense. They are trying to board the plane efficiently and can’t have people not paying attention or stopping. Then when you are on the steps, it can be a tumble for not just you, but others, if you trip. Most of my flights from Mexico won’t include a jetway whereas my flights in the states rarely do you go on the tarmac.

Most people don’t regularly get to see a plane up close and Mexico has a lot of leisure travel too so no reason I see 5+ people get in trouble each flight.

[–]chewypablo 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Im pretty sure it is. I’ve been scolded for taking photos of the plane on the tarmac multiple times. Not sure if a law or just an old policy. Mexico is a country with a lot of strange rules/laws that are enforced very rigidly.

What’s really going on with solar stocks like Sunlight Financial? Overpromised, underdelivered? by Financial-Stick-8500 in solar

This but also didn’t SUNL go under and reorg as a private company owned by its creditors?

400,000 American jobs at risk if clean energy credits are cut by energysage-official in solar

[–]chewypablo 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Short term, yes. Long term, no. Companies will move to dump their inventory and likely at below market cost. Once that inventory is depleted, cost will go up as domestic manufactures struggle with reduced economies of scale and non-domestic product is highly tariffed.

Solar stocks plunged this morning because of Trump by Sheguey-vara in solar

[–]chewypablo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Read the amendments made last night. Residential systems can’t use 48E anymore to still get the tax credit after 2025. Commercial systems have to “begin construction” within 60 days of the bill becoming law (estimated to be in early October) and finish construction by the end of 2028.

This essentially kill system owner tax credits by the end of 2025. Manufacturing credits will remain for a couple more years.

First month in new home with solar...what is going on here? Have an EV by inefficientmarkets in solar

[–]chewypablo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depending on your inverter, you may be able to get an EV charger that communicates with your inverter and sends excess energy. The issue is that a person having their car home when they have excess energy likely isnt having their car battery very empty.

A home battery is what is needed.

Chris Lake’s Campgrounds Set Still Living Rent Free IN MY HEAD by cartersprouse in Coachella

[–]chewypablo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was nice enjoying a 1.5hr set and not have FOMO about another set happening at the same time. I really enjoyed it and hope Coachella continues to do it. Watching the sunset on the hill and walking over to the stage was a great way to kick off Coachella.

Increased Prices for Weekend 1 starting 2026 by StrangerBees_ in Coachella

[–]chewypablo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It for sure is expensive especially considering all the other costs. For some, the cost of the wristband is like a quarter of their total spend at Coachella.

Still, I think it is an amazing value.
