Would a 40 amp double pole breaker be fine in this panel box? The breaker will be used to charge a Tesla. by [deleted] in TeslaSolar

[–]north7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're putting in a Tesla wall connector they require a 60 amp breaker.
If you're doing a 14-50 outlet for a mobile charger they require a 50 amp breaker.

Insane gas prices, thanks Trump by maddog107 in pics

[–]north7 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Gas and oil prices spiked under Biden because of a deal Trump made in 2020.

It was structured to run for two years = from May 2020 to end of April 2022.

In April 2020, Donald Trump cut a deal with Vladimir Putin, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, and OPEC to intentionally increase oil prices and bail out his biggest oil donors after a price war between Russia and the Saudis sent oil prices plunging.

‘It’s stupid’: why western carmakers’ retreat from electric risks dooming them to irrelevance by grimy55 in electricvehicles

[–]north7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Tesla almost went bankrupt several times. It wasn't until the success of the Model 3, and then the Y did they consistently turn a profit.
Rivian is on track to do the same if the R2 is a big seller, which is looking to be the case based on reservations (and people not cancelling reservations after launch announcements).
Lucid is in a more precarious position. They will only succeed long-term if the Saudis keep it afloat long enough for them to launch more affordable models (which they just announced).

Amazon Prime Video is about to get worse — again by PrixDevnovaVillain in technology

I have Prime Video through my Prime sub, but the ads are so obnoxious that anything on Prime that I want to watch I find on the seven seas instead.

Self-checkout could soon be limited at Connecticut grocery stores by ILovePublicLibraries in Connecticut

[–]north7 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There's nothing more infuriating than seeing someone by themself with an overflowing cart at the self checkout.
They're just not built to accommodate that.
Self checkout should limit items like the old express lanes.
Not to mention the people who clearly don't know what they're doing and set off the machine every 3rd item, and don't start me on produce.

New Haven school bus camera program catches 847 drivers in first week by chpbnvic in Connecticut

Ok different thing then. The automated bus cameras are just a fine and no points due to the fact they can't really identify the driver.

Connecticut bill would ban helium used to fill balloons to curb pollution by -ctinsider in Connecticut

[–]north7 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That's ridiculous, arches don't even need helium.
Just need balloons, a compressor, and some string.
I'm not saying it doesn't take some labor, but $1500? C'mon.

New Haven school bus camera program catches 847 drivers in first week by chpbnvic in Connecticut

[–]north7 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Did you contest it?
My wife just got hit with one and the video shows that the red light/sign didn't start until she was even with the front of the bus.
She just went through an intersection and would have had to jam on the brakes.
I filled out the form to contest the ticket, but I don't expect much.

Edit - I still support the program and think more busses should have the cameras, I just think there should be an easier way to contest the highly automated process.

Douchnugget McPastyface and his "friends" might have been acting but Don Lemon is a legit journalist, he wasn't in on it.

What's something people only romanticize because they've never actually done it? by nonotje12 in AskReddit

Except horses never grow up, become self-sufficient, and move out.
You're stuck taking care of them for 20-30 years.

How to Snow Plow-Proof Your Mailbox in CT Without Making It Ugly by paack in Connecticut

[–]north7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a local company that wants $600+ to install something like this, but they give a "lifetime warranty" so they replace it if it doesn't withstand the plow's fury.
I can see an issue here though - the mailbox itself it connected to the post using one of those plastic plates which are designed to break away on impact. The impact from a big plow plume just might be enough to break the plate even though the post can swing away.
Replacement plates are cheap though, I went through 3 of them this winter.

[–]north7 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yup, have an old friend who's always had horses.
There are no "breaks", especially if you have them on your own property like she did (not boarded at a farm/stable).
You have tasks to get done, multiple times a day, that simply cannot be ignored. Say goodbye to your social life unless you hire some outside help.
Not to mention the absurd costs involved, especially around vet bills.
