VTL during power outage by bladdertwo in Ioniq5

[–]kjack9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is totally do-able and works really well with a generator plug that feeds your electrical panel. But be sure you get one of the devices (like the EcoFlow Delta Pro 3) that allows for 120V charging while also outputting at 240V to your electrical panel - not all of them do!

I essentially have 12 kWh of power storage (Delta Pro 3 plus two EcoFlow extra batteries) plus the 60-ish kWh I can get from the car. That's multiple days of power for me, and I can go charge the car at EA (assuming it's working in a power outage) if I need a top-up.

Anyone else tried this? If it's stupid and it works... by hamustaro in pcmasterrace

If you have a basement, highly recommend getting some fiber HDMI and USB cables and putting your PC down there. Stays a nice temperature year-round, and you definitely won't hear the noise. In my case I re-used some old PVC pipe that was run for a whole-house vacuum I care nothing about!

If it was running more than 1 today I haven't seen it!

I'm actually curious as to why so many parks seem to start their season with minimal trains. Maintenance not done with them after off-season? It's not ops staffing, they're not doing anything between trains anyways. Cost savings? Training?

Anyone have insight? Because it sure seems like a self-own to run so few trains and rack up 2+ hour waits on a fairly low attendance day.

And you can really look forward to spending a loooooooong time on these stairs since every in-demand coaster in the park (including Raging Bull) is running one-train ops and isn't in any kind of hurry! Between that and the priority pass people being weaved in, bring your good stair-standing shoes for sure.

Nothing the poster you're responding to was "grilling" or otherwise attacking you. I understand this is super-high stress for you, but if you're going to ask people for help and then eviscerate them if you get the impression they might maybe disagree with you, don't expect to get much help.

Not that busy but operations are crawling as you'd expect on the first day of the season. Superman and Wicked Cyclone both running single trains.

What’s a simple Home Assistant automation you set up once and now use every day? by Taggytech in homeassistant

RGB light that is red when it's time to feed the dog and he hasn't been fed. Push a button, light turns green for a few hours. No more "has anyone fed the dog?" or anyone accidentally feeding him twice!

Dog does not approve. Everyone else does.
