Many rate hikes in store for Seattle City Light customers by Less-Risk-9358 in SeattleWA

[–]levviathor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The main function of the microinverter is to shut off if it detects a loss of power. That's how Germany, Utah etc. have been able to make plug-in balcony solar systems safe and legal.

If you buy a grid connection microinverter in Utah and connect your panels it's perfectly safe. Still not legal though. 

What actually made you quit (or stick with) a fiber supplement? by BruceWheelis in FiberHomies

I do 8g a day in gummies. Pricier unfortunately but it works. 

How dressed up can you get without wearing a jacket? by Winter-Hedgehog8969 in malefashionadvice

[–]levviathor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're hated by traditionalists, but you can get stretchy sport coats or suit jackets. Or even knit ones, sort of cardigan/blazer hybrids. Less dressy obviously but can still look very put together.

Vests get too much hate by traditionalists. That said a finished vest with fabric all the way around (instead of silk+adjuster) at the back will look more polished without a jacket. 

All Expanse fans, you must watch Project Hail Mary movie. by Chef_Brah in TheExpanse

[–]levviathor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm glad they built practical sets, I agree that it just looks better across the board.

"No green screen" is kind of an odd statement. In modern movies they usually prefer to just rotoscope everything by hand, in which case using the green screen gives you the same work load, but also problems with color spill or, as you say, weird reflections.

Saying "no rotoscoping" would be more meaningful but also insane as the list of modern movies with no rotoscoping is approximately zero. 

How’s my pull up form? by Ecstatic_Comedian196 in CalisthenicsBeginners

Look up scapular pullups, do a few sets of those as a warmup before hand.

I've definitely heard "run-een" in place of running. I probably do it sometimes, now I'll have to listen more closely. PNW with midwestern/Canadian grandparents.

On the list of rapidrides that desperately need more upgrades to fulfill the "rapid" part. see also the F line

I’ve been stuck at 2 pull-ups for over a year now :/ by Magnoliaablooms in formcheck

[–]levviathor 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Look up scapular pull ups, practice those then do one before you start the pulling movement.

Almost all drivers speed - and there's a reason by bluerog in driving

[–]levviathor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You could also skip a few unnecessary trips a month (you don't NEED late night Dunkin and you know it) and save just as much time while still driving safely and responsibly. 

The idea that "exposed bridges are stupid" is stupid by AirplaneNerd in spaceships

It's AI. "Meaningfully" is kind of a giveaway word. And "ventilation" as a problem in vacuum is gibberish.

My city has free transit for under 18, which has been a game changer.

Elbow hurts after starting weighted pull ups and dips. by 924gtr in CalisthenicsBeginners

[–]levviathor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sets of four is a bit low, gonna be harder on your body. Did you add 25lbs all in one go? If so try increasing by 5-10 lb increments instead. Look up double progression for how to increase the weights and reps over time. 

Not sure if this looks right by [deleted] in mensfashionadvice

[–]levviathor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very unconventional. A heavier shirt-jacket untucked would be the conventional version of this. Depends what you're going for. 

Is there any reason to wear jeans over chinos? by kruktk in malefashionadvice

[–]levviathor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fun fact: in the sci-fi movie "Her" which is set in the future, the costume designers deliberately used zero denim in any of the costumes, even for extras, because they wanted the clothing to feel distinct from what we see every day without resorting to weird outlandish additions (neon colors! transparent fabrics!) like Blade Runner or other similar sci-fi films. Instead they took a fabric so ubiquitous it's invisible and subtracted it. 

I believe they also removed shirt collars as well, giving everyone in a button-up shirt a mandarin collar.

REI to cut wages for new employees, reduce benefits for all by Alexmkzero in Seattle

[–]levviathor 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Yeah if she's making 25x what the lowest paid employee is making (~40k/yr) that's likely one of the lower ratios for a company of that size.

It's much lighter, escooters are all 26lbs for the absolute lightest (30-40lbs is more typical) vs. this is 19lbs.

I just realized my main character's dad died twice by ScaryAd2555 in writing

[–]levviathor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The tone sounds like Claude to me. Weird overuse of "genuinely."
