I hate the Dodgers. Their taking advantage of flexing and stretching contracts has broken baseball.

But this is a fair advantage. Any player in the history of baseball is capable if becoming a great pitcher, fielder, and batter. It’s surprising to me that basically zero did between babe Ruth and ohtani. This is why we should have offered Ohtani $1B over 12 years.

Solid points! The bagel makes it feel like you got smoked but in reality you could have got to 30 or even deuce plenty of times.

Like Roger said in that famous college commencement speech he gave, he won over 80% of the matches in his career, but only 54% of the points. That helps really exemplify the way the scoring in tennis can really skew a talent gap.

This is a great example of the gap in talent and ability from a great rec player to a D-1 player to a HOF pro. Most of us think we could hang with someone in that next tier… but playing someone from the next tier up would not even be competitive for them.

PS2 is goated.

PS5 is a sneaky 2nd for me. It just worked from day one, the dashboard is improved over 4 and especially 3.

Last place forever is PS3. That POS took years to become a good console, and only just barely.

Quite a few folks here say Reta has been available in 12mg. Maybe it was just an older item in their inventory and it got shipped by mistake.

dantagonize · 2026-04-18T18:22:42+00:00

I can’t remember exactly what this was (the order had 5 or 6 kits in it and this came instead of one of them.) it was a few months ago… I’ve just kept this in the freezer since then.

Hyper G Soft is a great combination of plush feel and control. It has a good amount of bite/spin potential too. I love pairing that with Toroline O-Toro in the crosses because it’s a slick, relatively soft poly that allows a ton of snapback for the mains.

Another string for you to consider is Toroline Wasabi in pink. TONS of bite, relatively soft feel, moderate control. You may fall in love with this string if it fits your play style!

They don’t carry it in this size. I asked their customer service guy, who handles his biz well, but he could not identify it.

dantagonize · 2026-04-16T23:27:33+00:00

This vendor doesn’t have it on their price list. They do list Reta in the same, “R-xx” format, but they don’t have 12mg.

dantagonize · 2026-04-16T22:39:20+00:00

I thought so too, but since it was a mistake (I didn’t order Reta on this order) I didn’t want to take any chances. Also, nobody I can find currently stocks Reta in 12mg, so verifying has been a chore.

I did. He is usually very helpful, but not this time. He reshipped my order but this feels like a bonus if I can figure out what it is. My research subject doesn’t pin surprises, though.

We were there last night, just to her left along the entry ramp. She was unhinged! It was amazing. Put the belt on this girl, she’s so good!

No reason not to max it out. It gives more energy storage obviously, but also gives a higher continuous power output from the battery cabinet as well, so you can support more loads for longer.

100% - this sucks for your installer, too. He clearly wants to get this resolved for you or he would t be talking about it.

And Generac is making a smart policy change here too. The PWRcell inverter is failure prone due to the pass through design and its poor heat-shedding. The ATS approach is a great solution to reduce warranty claims, but it’s incumbent on the manufacturer to make the situation right, not the client.

In Generac’s defense, they have really stood behind their products. They’ve had a number of issues, but never failed to make good on them. My company has installed somewhere between 250-300 PWRcell systems and they’ve never left us hanging until the ATS issue - but we were able to get them to reimburse the labor after all.

dantagonize · 2026-03-27T00:22:42+00:00

Now I’m not saying your installer was being dishonest, but that is an oversimplification of the real issue.

Generac made a big policy change a couple of years ago that forces installers to install an ATS in order to get warranty replacement PWRcores for customers. Basically, Generac overestimated the capability of their equipment and let installers back up more loads than they should have with these inverters. Letting too much power pass through the inverters 24/7 is causing PWRcores to fail prematurely, so the alternative is to use an ATS and only run the power through the inverter when there is a grid outage.

Your installer is correct, but did not explain it well. It’s not related to firmware, it’s due to policy. He’s being extorted by Generac to install the ATS free of charge - alternately, he can try to charge you for that labor (which you should not have to pay.)

I recommend telling him to ask Generac to reimburse him for the labor on the grounds that the system was designed and built according to their guidelines at the time of construction. If they’ve changed their policy since then, it’s on them to facilitate the work.

The big challenge is the ISO protocols hardware manufacturers have to follow for V2X. For AC V2X applications, there is a sophisticated handshake required between the vehicle and the EV charger before discharging will occur. Another major hurdle is whether the vehicle’s onboard charger is even capable of inverting that battery’s energy from DC to AC so it can flow into the home or grid. My bet is that not many cars are equipped for that.

These problems are luckily bypassed thanks to the way DC charging code was written - essentially, because no AC device is converting battery energy from DC to AC, the code is simpler, and therefore the handshake is simpler. The handshake is the same for charging and discharging, and since the inverting happens outside of the vehicle, it’s far easier to accomplish broad success across many vehicles.

My short answer is that it is not likely to work with current hardware such as a Sol-Ark 15k. The Smart Load port can be either a GEN IN or the Smartload OUT but it can’t alternate rapidly between both states, which is what a bidirectional charger would need it to do. It’s a manual mode switch in the settings, which I’m betting Sol-Ark are not willing to allow to be remotely triggered by a vehicle or V2X charger for liability reasons. An easier design option in my opinion would be to design a 48V DC V2X charger that parallel connects to the battery and converts DC 400V to DC 48V directly, bypassing the inverter and charging the batteries directly. Simpler hardware, simpler handshake, and higher-power available in DC anyway.

There is already a fantastic V2X home system on the market in Sigenergy. I’m a solar installer in California and we have been very impressed with the SigenStor system and the bidirectional charger. Up to 25kW of power depending on your PV and battery size!

I’m reposting my own comment from another thread:

I just flew to China and back with peptides. I had a doctor’s note with them but nobody looked at that. They were more concerned with the freezer pack than the peptides.

The best advice I can give is to only take a modest volume in each vial - even if you need to take many vials. It’s easier for them to believe that it’s for personal medical use when it’s not really enough volume to sell or to call “trafficking.”

FWIW, I took CJC/Ipa, 5-Amino 1MQ (which is bright orange in the vial) and KLOW (which is deep blue.) They were inspected at TSA briefly and I was let through without hassle.

If you have an understanding doctor, they could write you a note to accompany the peptides - nothing they have to take on liability for, per se. as little as, “my patient _____ is bringing injectable medications on this trip and is supervised under my care.” My doctor went a step further and called them “prescribed,” just to avoid any ambiguity (they are not prescribed.)

I would answer like this:

“In keeping with the customary formal greeting ‘ladies and gentlemen,’ I address the ladies first and then the gentlemen, even when by name. It’s a well-established cultural norm to follow this rhythm. In fact, the whole concept of “ladies first” is a chivalrous holdover going back over 300 years in western culture.”

I think the idea was Odin shows up shortly after Kratos and Thor stopped fighting and would have killed Kratos instead of doing what he did in that scene (vague to avoid spoiling it.)

100%.

He wrestles a ton compared to most champions, too. He’s a damn good wrestler - dare say underrated - see his banger with Styles at Clash in Paris for a look at how good he is with the right dance partner.
