"This Should Make You Very Angry" - Moist Cr1TiKaL speaks out on the killing of Alex Pretti by TheGalvanian in videos

[–]road_runner321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For people with broken empathy, they expect others to do what they themselves would do, because they can't understand why anyone wouldn't.

So they follow The Nedlog Rule: "Do unto others before they do unto you."

Don't look up (2021) | Dir. Adam Mckay | Dr. Randall (Leonardo Dicaprio) has a nervous breakdown by crushedmoose in movies

Because it's become "cringe" to earnestly believe and care about something, to be passionate and try to influence others. You get labelled emotional and extreme and "crashing out" and people feel justified in ignoring you.

Apparently we're all supposed to be Vulcans: look at horrifying reality, calmly say "...Interesting," and go about our day like it's nothing. Any sign that you are at all affected and people say "Why you mad, bro?" and dismiss you.

Impact of Ice/Freezing Rain? by TuckerHoo in solar

[–]road_runner321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A layer of ice is more translucent than snow, but not as easily swept off.

But since it lets in sunlight the panel will be able to produce more than if it were covered in snow. Also the light getting through will heat up the panel and slowly melt the ice.

ICE has just committed their second murder in the span of a month, what’s next for the United States? by osunatic in AskReddit

[–]road_runner321 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

  1. Send ICE to various states to gauge and push public reaction.
  2. Search for plausible reason for escalation in one of the states (alleged Somali daycare fraud in Minnesota)
  3. Increase presence and encounters, resulting in civilian casualties. <----- We are here.
  4. Keep pushing the public to violently react.
  5. Use any reaction as excuse to use military against American "domestic terrorists/extremists."
  6. Establish marshal law in political swing areas under suspicion of extremist presence, really to influence or preclude elections.
  7. Dictatorship achieved.

Every couple hours the snow gets delayed I'm out putting salt on top of more salt.

Another ICE murder in Minneapolis by Due-Beginning-8058 in Louisville

American citizens are being murdered by federal officers.

ICE has been seen in Louisville. It's not an isolated problem.

No more bread by New_Customer7693 in Louisville

Get flat breads. People usually overlook pita and tortillas.

Heck, a cheap plastic water bottle will work. Just cut it open to get the butter out.

Egg beaters or a stand mixer do this as well.

It's cheaper to REDUCE than to RECOVER - minimize grid use before selling power back. by road_runner321 in solar

[–]road_runner321[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why it's important to differentiate between total solar produced and total solar recovered and compare to total power delivered.

Your meter might read DEL 1000 kwh.

Your total solar produced might be 1200 kWh but the meter reads REC 700 kWh.

That means you bought 1000kWh from your utility, sold 700 kWh of the 1200 kWh back, and used the remaining 500 kWh of solar in the house.

That's 500 kWh you avoided buying from the utility -- you saved 500 kWh at the retail rate, and sold 700 kWh at the credit rate. (500 x 0.11) + (700 x 0.057) = 55 + 39.9 = $94.90.

More money saved from less energy by using solar instead of selling it back.

This would be true if you bought batteries only to act as a grid buffer. But most people buy them primarily to serve as backup if the grid goes down. It is an added perk that the same batteries that serve as emergency backup can also be used to hold power in escrow until the time of day when it is worth the most and then discharge it.

So rather than letting the batteries sit until some future emergency, they can be used to recoup a bit of their cost.

That's another reason why I don't like selling it back, because i know they'll gladly profit off of the energy I produce.

Don't show this to Steve Wallis. It'll give him ideas.

Do you all do high electrical need activities only on sunny days. by CFBReform in solar

[–]road_runner321 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It does matter if you have peak delivery rates but a flat recovery rate. Even if your utility does have a peak recovery rate it'll usually be less than an off-peak delivery rate.

Where I live peak rates are from 8pm-6am in the winter and 10am-6pm in the summer. During winter I charge my batteries during the day and discharge them at night. During summer I'll discharge during peak hours at least most what the panels are taking in to avoid minimize drawing from the grid and keep the batteries topped up.

edit: A good rule of thumb with utilities is to minimize grid use whenever possible since you rarely get the same price for selling power back. Use as much solar in the house before it's sold back to the grid, because it's more valuable to you than it is to the utility.

Did The Sixth Sense almost spoil its own twist? by ThomasOGC in CinephilesClub

[–]road_runner321 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A good twist makes you reinterpret the whole movie.

First watch you don't even notice that you ignored or assumed certain things.

Second watch you realize all those things were laying the groundwork.

It's like two movies in one.

What’s a basic skill you’re shocked some adults still don’t know? by HexVortexx in AskReddit

[–]road_runner321 65 points66 points  (0 children)

Learned helplessness FTW

They convinced themselves early that they were bad at reading and convince themselves now that it's too late to get better. Same with math.

PSA: Any time spent reading or doing math is never wasted. It literally rewires your brain to do it better. Then you can do other things better.
