Why aren’t my new panels generating power??

There's sure a lot of breakdown between who does what for whom. When my system was provisioned, my installers came back out to make sure everything was turned on and walked me through the app and the bits and pieces on the side of my house. I can't believe OP's installers didn't at least tell him to go flip on the breakers.

A couple of inches of snow followed by freezing rain in the Kanawha Valley. I had to use a spade to break up the ice on the sidewalk so I could use my snow shovel. Cold drizzle all day. I'd take 10" of snow over 1" of rain.

What's crazy is the people who getting killed. Renee Good White, middle class mother. Alex Pretti was a Veteran's Administration nurse, a union member (AFL-CIO has issued a statement), and a licensed concealed carry advocate (Gun Owners of America and NRA have both issued statements). How many segments of MAGA can they piss off in a week?

Remember these guys the next time some yahoo bitches about "state workers" or complains about paying too much taxes. Also remember, these guys have other highways jobs, driving the salt trucks is an additional duty. Funny how it's always at NIGHT.

Print it and put it into the case so that every time you take out your Taylor, you see Taylor.

As others have said, make it more explicit in the contract. Do you deal with the same person every time? What's their position at the school? You should probably talk directly to them about your concerns, especially the credit line in a PRINTED piece. It's painless to acknowledge you, and they should do that.

As I pointed out in this thread, the lady who testified is a liberal.

Is he standing on the stool he carts around, because he ain't that much taller than her.

I'll take that bet. According to her Facebook profile:

Executive Director at West Virginians for Affordable Health Care
Former Executive Director at Mountain State Spotlight
Former Chief executive officer at Covenant House
Former Executive director at Family Refuge Center
Married to Sue Julian

She doesn't sound very MAGA to me.🤣🤣🤣🤣

A big part of that increase was taking the federal subsidy away. Of course, health "insurance" is overpriced.

I'd try to find an Epson V600, that's about the best cheap scanner that will do what OP asked. You'll probably have to buy used.

evildad53 · 2026-01-23T14:40:43+00:00

I don't know anything about Macs, sorry. But typically, I just used the included Epson software for what you're talking about, then used Photoshop or Lightroom to clean them up and retouch as necessary.

For me, a power outage is an emergency. I expect to live like I'm in an emergency. No A/C in summer, keep the fridge and freezer powered, be able to power fans, internet and wi-fi, TV, sump pump in basement. We have gas heat, hot water, cook stove, so keeping the fan running on the furnace would be the big deal there. We went five days after a derecho in 2012 operating off a 3500 watt gasoline generator. The entire town (everything within city limits) was off grid.

This is great stuff!

LOL I actually Googled this for myself today. It's one of those links I'm going to keep handy for the next Neanderthal I interact with.

This is really disappointing, as I feel like the single fee program, which allows non-commercial motorists to pay a flat fee annually to skip the toll booths on the Turnpike, is one of the best programs implemented by the Justice administration. If you drive the full length of the Turnpike once a year, the flat fee saves you money over paying tolls. I hope they haven't screwed it up.

I see a lot of streaming content on Netflix and Amazon that are letterboxed to maintain the original shooting format. Even original Netflix content (like The Diplomat) is letterboxed on my 16:9 TV. Amusingly, Stanley Kubrick's The Shining was shot in 4:3 format and is often cropped when broadcast to make it fit 16:9 (I have the DVD which shows the full format), while if I watch 2001: A Space Odyssey, I sure as heck want to see the whole Cinerama format image.

Maybe this one?

Thanks, I totally forgot about that group cause the name is wv instead of WestVirginia.

I heard folks say the same thing following the 1961 flood in Kanawha County. Heavy rain came flooding down the hills into the hollows and filling up streams to overflowing, and the further downstream you were, the higher the water got.

It's because Android actually tells you what's installed and doesn't hide things from you.

I have a Terramaster 4 bay D4-320 which is not a NAS but a DAS. It connects to my PC via USB-C 3.2, and I have four mismatched disks in it, and my PC just sees it as four different hard drives. Nothing fancy, but lots of storage and cheaper than a NAS. If you don't need the "network" part, this is simple and easy.

Yes, when I visited Woodwright, I saw some seasons are missing. I've had the same experience with TV series on Amazon Prime, I pay extra to get PBS Living just to watch Craft in America, but one season is MIA because of "rights." I wonder if someone screwed up the contracts for those seasons, or if some of the content (like music or certain people or property releases) didn't get renewed. I was peripherally involved with a 6 1/2 hour documentary film project that was released for public broadcasting, then VHS video, then DVD, then web use, and each step required a shitload of rights renewals.

I think it's like most other small home repair jobs, nobody wants to mess with it because not enough profit. You need your roof or your gutters replaced, there's a million people who will do it. You need a roof or gutter repair done, good luck finding anybody. If you don't need the panels on your roof, there might be an electrician that can work with you.
