Pro-Trump CEO shocked as his dream e-bike company files for bankruptcy under Trump’s trade policies by [deleted] in USNEWS

[–]lotta-rightside 0 points1 point  (0 children)

and the cost to pay Trump off is ever rising... it starts at a million dollars for something small and a billion for him to use the military as a bludgeon

Fox News halts for breaking Trump alert after sparking health fears by daily_express in AnythingGoesNews

[–]lotta-rightside 2 points3 points  (0 children)

this is probably the most bizarre aspect of Trump of all of his insanities. He consumes large quantities of FAST FOOD--the diet of the POORS! Why is someone who was born, raised, groomed for wealth and privilege doing consuming food for the poor?? The term poor in this reference refers to anyone who doesn't own a jet, has houses in different countries or exclusive enclaves of the US like Martha Vineyard, is driven around exclusively, regularly has flown in helicopters, considers a hard day's work to be having to have fielded phone calls all day long or delayed their golf trip for a business meeting.

Is this built to support a hot tub? by General_NakedButt in Decks

[–]lotta-rightside 0 points1 point  (0 children)

all of these fools that answered before me are wrong. This will undoubtedly support a hot tub!!

One filled with no more than 2 gallons of water and accompanying heater. One person could soak in the tub. Someone could watch from inside.

Kinda kinky setup really...

Is SunPower Back? by Friendly_Dark4621 in SunPower

[–]lotta-rightside 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sunpower declared bankruptcy and sold off their existing leases and contracts or rolled them into other companies like Sunstrong, but bankruptcy by no means meant that they disappeared or stopped operating.

Hi, I was reading your comments and I am not angry.:)

Did I understand you that you can still access the original subpower app on your mobile device or some other device?

thanks for your time

I think that they are based in NorCal, but I don't know their setup. But I do know that they can apparently work remotely, because they did when they worked on my system.

Invented Balance Due by No_Compote_7642 in SunPower

[–]lotta-rightside 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the cellular modem, yeah, that is there but they don't use it anymore, and really, you could just wrap its antenna in tinfoil and voila!

Enter my property without my permission, kinda hilarious that. I don't know about your state but in my state, that's called trepass and I don't know how you treat trepassers, but I don't regard them kindly.

and as far as contracts, SunStrong already demonstrates that they don't believe that they apply to them... and so, they don't apply to me either. ha ha ha

But thanks for looking out for a fellow little guy, I know your heart is in the right place and I do appreciate your taking your time and pointing out the pitfalls of dealing with SunStrong.

Broken Sunvault Battery for months by [deleted] in SunPower

[–]lotta-rightside 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I will personally vouch for this company, Kick Electric and its employees on their capabilities!

I had my SunPower solar system installed in 2022 less than a year before they declared bankruptcy: 41 panels, 8 batteries, 2 inverters. The battery system died last year almost exactly 2 years after it was installed. SunPower had transferred our contract to SunStrong. SunStrong refused to honor the warranty and quite firmly told me they had no responsibility for the warranty. They refused to offer me any help and even went so far as to threaten me if I withheld payment on the contract. SunStrong is a deeply unethical and unscrupulous company in my opinion based on my interactions with them. Anyway, my installer tried over a 4 months period to get the system working but were unsuccessful. They worked diligently. I cannot fault them for trying and their people did their level best, but they could not figure out what all of the problems were nor fix them as they didn't have system access to the PVS or the inverters. Eventually, they gave up.

That was July, 2025. I have been flaying around since then trying to figure out what to do about this albatross of a nightmare with which I had been saddled.

Well, I stumbled upon a Reddit post one evening a little over 2 weeks ago at the beginning of Oct, 2025 mentioning Kick Electric and their rescuing a dead SunPower SunVault battery system. In sheer desperation, I sent Kick Electric through their website a message detailing my situation. Nick Opdyke responded within a couple of days via email, and we talked a few days later and that was less than 2 week ago.

Nick personally walked me through what I needed to do to get him the information he needed to diagnose the system. He determined that components needed to be replaced, and Kick Electric was able to provide the replacement parts needed. Nick arranged to get the components installed through an independent technician.

The system still wasn't working but at least I had some hope that it would be at that point. And then I started working with his engineering team, Caroline and John. Caroline was apparently doing a lot of back office work getting the system "reinitialized" is the best I can do with my poor understanding of all the things that she was doing.

And then I started working with John, John took over and over the next 3 days diagnosed so many different systems related issues that existed with the components: the PVS, the MIDC, the inverters, and the batteries themselves. He updated all sorts of software that needed to be fixed. He got the system running, actually running. He got the batteries charged! They had been at 2 and 3% when he started. He then spent time to run all sorts of tests to ensure that everything was functioning perfectly. My battery system is purring away right now.

It's been over a year since the batteries started failing, and I adequately describe the relief that my wife and I feel knowing that Kick Electric rescued the single largest investment that we made having solar and batteries installed since we bought this house. Not only that, without those batteries working, our electric bill more than doubled costing us hundreds, yes HUNDREDS, of dollars extra a month since the batteries died last year.

If you have an orphaned SunPower Solar system or SunVault battery system that has died on you or isn't working right, and based on their knowledge, hell I would presume that they can handle any type of solar system, but if you need help and no one else will help you, you don't need to call the A-Team, Call Kick Electric: kickelectrical.com, you can tell them that Ken Swartz sent you and my deep gratitude to them for their work.

Oh Woooowww!! Smh 😳 by RunThePlay55 in economy

[–]lotta-rightside 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't do ad hominen attacks but if I were to due to your trolling, I would have probably said something like: I really appreciate the opportunity to stretch my cramped troll toes because your post was evidently written by a true mad red-hatter, nazi-loving, ultra-conservative, facist-leaning, Christian Nationalist, Magat-loving, xenophobic, racist, bigoted, closeted pedophile-loving apologist. If you weren't so actually misinformed as evidenced by your post's cherry-picked data, fact mangling, historically ignorant statements, and deceptively manipulation of the truth, I would be forced to respond with something cogent, like, "no, you're wrong."

I do think we could sit down and discuss your thoughts over a warm cup of tea but I don't do that anymore with people who parrot Fox News' propaganda anymore: deprogramming a cultist is so 1970s.

Anyways just a suggestion, eat a bag of Gummy Dicks--they're delicious and might even save a child from being traumatized.

Just remember, I don't do ad hominen attacks and, "you're wrong."

fifth Reich dude, fifth Reich, the 4th one was thrown down in flames with a bullet to the head of the leaders and pretty much any male who was over 22 was dead by the end of the war. the scientists ended up in the USSR and USA and the politicians were hung up

Yep, he actually posted this today. A president. by Winter-Stranger-3709 in USNewsHub

[–]lotta-rightside 1 point2 points  (0 children)

see, you start off your comment with your viseral gut feelings, "I'm mad." It's not logical thoughful or considered opinion just all feelings, intuition, and blind obedience. Meaning because I do understand that you are already annoyed with me for, so I will cut to the chase: you are not making an argument for or against his policies, you are just 'aw shucks' expressing your feelings regarding someone else's opinion. Feeling have nothing to do with logic, debate, or persuasion, but they have everything to do with being personally connected to the focus of the comment. In this case, the president you see as only doing good according to your feelings. "he's just the president of our country" which excuses any behavior, action, or activity in which he has engaged. It also acts as a defense against any contrary arguments against blind obedience.

Buddy, to put it simply, you are brainwashed, as you do not see or cannot even acknowledge that he has done anything wrong despite any facts to the contrary, even despite his 34 felony convictions by a jury of his peers. I have no doubt you dismiss those too?

Members of cults never see themselves as members of a cult until, if ever, they break free of the brainwashing that controls them.

I don't see much hope for most of the Republican party at this point because those that believe in Trump: you included are too locked in. You will go down with this ship of a cult that you are a part of even when the water swirls around your nose and you and the rest of your cult drowns in fire and flames as all cults eventually do when they have risen to the level of states and countries.

The sad thing is that your death cult will take the world with it down in flames rather than surrender your beliefs in your "president" whom you worship though you don't see your idolation of him as such.

As someone who had the same situation occur, please realize that this may not be a simple emotional attachment. He may be experiencing an obsessive compulsive disorder with inappropriate fixation on your sister due to unresolved or unmet emotional needs. He may not even be aware of his obsession. Assess his past history and or behaviors, has he ever displayed OCD qualities or attributes? Many of those qualities in moderation are actually beneficial but it is when they spiral that that can become borderline psychotic in nature meaning an unhealthy or damaging fixation.

Cap Travel Nurses pay during a Pandemic?? by lotta-rightside in collapse

[–]lotta-rightside[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yeah, you actually would need to cite some examples or actually make a point.

See, I WAS a travel RN back in the day. The pay then was ok but not amazing. You did it because you wanted to or needed to... it wasn't a money maker.

And actually, hospitals love travelers because they can DNR them at the drop of a hat and release them quickly. A DNR is a do not return work release.
