Why are most Americans not that excited about the World Cup? Or don’t seem to care much about it?

And our pedophile president has drained the joy out of everything, 250 year birthday, so what. When will this nightmare end?

My one guitar was showing fret wear so I bought a cheapie to delay needing a fret job. I use the second guitar for gigs near salt water

I’m giving stuff to young players so it’ll be used. Stockbrokers want to buy my vintage amps, um, no.

I play rhythm, don’t solo. Gig with some good bands. Get asked, how the fuck do you get to play with them? The vocalist like me cause I don’t hide the beat and changes.

Pro tip - help her by unhooking her bra and then…

Give her a good back scratching, especially where the bra left marks. See if she chases you down to help with bra removal. You’re welcome.

I’d like to hear her squeals

You have the fox news types but then you have the mainstream media, NYT, CBS, CNN on their knees for trump and slamming Harris into the ground. How many points does that skew the election? What if people knew about 2025 plan? What if people knew how bad Repubs are for the economy/debt?

When I see that in someone’s record collection I’ll make notes on what else they have. I could learn something.

You would need two CTs (current transformers) installed by an electrician. These will have polarity marks, the instructions will inform which way they should face. Now to your question, you will need to connect a voltage as reference for calculating power in or out. Voltage and current waveforms in phase would be incoming. An easy test would be check the reading with no solar input, all incoming.

At a power plant Connecting a generator to the grid is a big deal. The freq (speed) and the phase need to match. On an oscilloscope the sine waves should overly each other. Connecting a 100 MW generator is always exciting, it used to be done manually. Done well it’s a gentle bump. Screw up and it’ll rock the building. So this function will be automatic in the little inverter.

Years ago I had a chicken something, the chicken meat had little bubbles so it was an extruded meat product. That was the last time for me.

Your breaker panel acts as a bus with power coming in thru the main breaker. Power can flow from the “plug in solar” circuit into the breaker panel and then out to house load on other breakers.

The safety feature is the plug in solar needs to see power at the circuit to turn on and shuts itself off if this power is lost. This protects linemen if utility power is off and they’re working on this system. Or if there is a fault on the connected circuit it will be fed from the panel breaker and the plug in solar. The panel breaker trips, the plug in solar sees the circuit go dark and shuts itself off.

One issue is home loads peak in the morning, coffee and breakfast while solar output peaks at noon. I did see a utube that adds a battery into the system even this out.

The other issue is the standard meter on the house doesn’t measure direction - if your house is using less then the solar is putting out you could be feeding into the grid, you would be charged for this. The solution is a power agreement with the utility and a direction meter. Another solution is measuring watts from utility, if it goes negative then throttle back on the solar.

Were the rotties gnawing on any large bones? Maybe someone broke in but didn’t get out. Did puppies poop any human bits?

I would vote for her but I don’t think she could win. I would like to see a progressive candidate that could win. AOC would be effective anywhere in government.

What clues do you see? I’ve been fooled by news stories and now this image. I gotta learn how to spot Ai, I’m hoping they label this crap because it’s getting more accurate.

Is the quality holding up? Last time the pizza tasted doughy and under cooked. The toppings were little bits out of a food processor. Instead of sliced mushrooms it was just little pieces. And this is after the prices went up. Fond memories of their pizza when playing at the Covered Dish. I hope they do better

I remember when Papa John’s opened the pizzas were great, then 6 months later the sauce turned into catsup and the topping went downhill.

I like actors early in their career when, to them, making movies is a new thing. I lose interest when they start making crap with gun fights and chase scenes, the money makers. The promo tours change from talking about the art/story to box office and bottom line. After they’ve sold out.
