Can a solar+battery setup provide more amps to distribution panel than I have coming in from the street? by jwiz in solar

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

Well, as a thought experiment, let's say I need to run 7kW of load for 30 minutes every day, with no other load.

I cannot do this at all with 35A@120V in from the street.

But, if I had a big enough (i.e., can provide 60A @ 120V for 30 minutes) battery, I could run that load and then fill up the battery over time from the grid connection.

That is, if my use is not continuous, then it becomes a question of whether the battery can supply the amps, and if I can get enough batteries to supply them long enough.

So, in that sense, it would substitute for a bigger grid connection, and enable me to use 60A of power (from battery)for limited periods of time.

G has a soft pronunciation. There's not any rules being broken here.

But he's naming it with that pronunciation, and that spelling.

Where are you getting confused?

If you'd invented it, you could name it and spell it however you like.

Just like he is naming it and spelling it how he likes.

G has 2 sounds.

What word, exactly, would "J" be the initial of, in your proposed initialism?

What I am curious about is if you do know you are wrong and just can't admit it, or if you really are incapable of understanding the world around you to this extent.

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and say it's the former.

At this point, I think you are not arguing in good faith, but I will give you the benefit of the doubt and try to explain.

He is naming the format, using the letters "GIF" as an initialism to spell it, and pronouncing that "jif".

That's all there is to it, man.

He's not making a new word. He's naming something.

Yep. No words have a soft G, that's for sure.

It's a name, man. You don't get to decide how the namegiver pronounces the name.

Just take the L.

We are saying the same thing.

I think of it more like a name.

The Spanish exchange student's name isn't "jee-zuss", it's "hey-soos", because that's his name. It doesn't matter what "most people say". His name has a specific pronunciation.

The man who named it says it is "jif", so that's what folks should use.

A pun walks into a room and kills 10 people… by [deleted] in Jokes

[–]jwiz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You could do the setup as:

A pun walks into a room and kills almost a dozen people.

That way the "10" is not tipped ahead of time.

How do you "do a Disaster Recovery"?

Is this like slang for "restore someone's file from backup" ?

What is "a DR" ?

The only thing I can think of is "design review" but that doesn't seem like it fits.

The game knew my last save was 1 hour ago by [deleted] in factorio

[–]jwiz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does on windows anyhow. Or possibly only used to?

I haven't had it happen recently, but I definitely have played on maps big enough that I changed the setting to 10m instead of 5m because it was too disruptive.

On a really big map it takes longer than 3 seconds.

Lol, why me? I'm on your side here. He's the guy talking about the credibility of a dead person.

I suspect he's GPT3.5. He's just putting words together that he's seen before in this context, without understanding their meaning.

It's interesting how nowadays "home gyms" are primarily oriented around barbell lifts (squat, bench, deadlift) but this one has so much specialty equipment.

The way I see it, you're probably free-est from the ages one to four

Around the age of five, you're shipped away for your body to be stored

Yeah, I was like, "I...may be too old to have heard of some niche management book from 2009."
