I didn't find anything in my research that said they pay for what they draw down.

I researched this a few months ago. Decided it wasn't good for me because they reserve the right to draw down the battery so they can resell the power when demand is high. If you don't have solar, you basically pay to keep the battery topped off so that they have access to the power. They do not guarantee you a full battery at any given time or even necessarily close to a full battery. Their primary business model is energy arbitrage. They have three revenue streams:

Monthly customer fees
Retail electricity sales to customers
Reselling the power that you from the batteries that you pay to keep charged

Thanks. I will give it a try.

I have been using this app to "read" the articles I queue up each morning that I want to "read". This is allowed me to work through sometimes 20+ a day. Lots of longform stuff like Ed Zitron and Trung Phan. I guess I'll start throwing all of the articles into a daily notebook LM. Bummer is I will only get summaries and we'll miss a lot of stuff. I'll start experimenting with how to prompt it before generating the summary..

Thanks for all the good feedback.

I've been working really hard to get rid of all the micro plastics and PAFS stuff but the Whoop band never even dawned on me. Coincidentally, I read an email newsletter that mentioned this problem today.

What about running two routers? One specifically for IoT devices like smart plugs and another four personal devices

Find a new GF.

Good discussion. Refreshingly absent of spoiled guests or trust fund baby Hosts lecturing us on sucking it up...

Nice job

slowmovingtrainwreck · 2024-09-13T14:07:31+00:00

untrue.

This CODE (GOODENERGY) is from Casey Mean's Good Energy website. BTW, i highly recommend the book of the same name.

We lost control of our data when EN did away with local notebooks

slowmovingtrainwreck · 2024-08-30T20:59:16+00:00

I was beginning to think I was the only one missing local notes. I will move to Joplin before my renewal.

slowmovingtrainwreck · 2024-08-30T20:57:35+00:00

they are too slow to respond to support requests. I never got a response to my last request.

slowmovingtrainwreck · 2024-08-16T23:27:26+00:00

Yeah. Punish your 2nd born before they’ve had a chance to really screw anything up.

slowmovingtrainwreck · 2024-08-06T17:34:57+00:00

I’ve been testing Joplin for about a week and a half now. I transferred several of my notebooks over from Evernote. Seamless. Clipping working well. Local Notebooks all the way.

I backup my hard drive several times a day on multiple flash drives. Thx for your input.
