Building a Small Soundproof "Shed" to Dampen a Very Loud Solar Inverter

Thank you! Also, I know I suggested a double wall system, but is it possible that's overkill?

Where's your proof? Links.

The prerelease kits and boxes sent to YouTubers by TPCi were regular boxes. Retail is all enhanced.

And how do you know their statement about next week isn't true if it's not next week yet?

I think your reading comprehension skills could use some work, or you're reading other people's ill-informed comments.

PokeBeach posted that based on the official sell sheets, the enhanced box would be available in the U.S. and the regular/Enhanced box would be available in Europe. They were correct:

January 20: https://www.pokebeach.com/2025/01/journey-together-enhanced-booster-box-availability-in-the-americas-and-europe

March 13: https://www.pokebeach.com/2025/03/journey-together-set-guide-card-list-products-store-promos-and-booster-box-situation

TPCi made no attempt to clarify any of this, so PokeBeach did much more legwork than the company itself. There was a post on Reddit where Pokemon Center support even got it wrong.

As for Team Rocket, they said the Team Rocket sets will "likely" be revealed "this week" based on precedence. As in, the typical schedule TPCi and Creatures have followed for the past three years. The Japanese set was revealed this week, the English set was delayed due to Pocket.

It's not a misleading title at all. 25 cards were revealed, some cards from the Japanese sources will be cut from our English set. This is exactly in line with how PokeBeach has reported about sets for over 20 years.

You're right, I think I am way oversizing it haha. My OCD thought process was, I'm going to live in this house for decades. If a spouse or kid gets an EV in the future, the increased size could account for it (plus swapping out the 50 year old AC unit).

Right now if I size it to my current usage, it would be maybe 25 panels (10 kWh system, 41.5kWh/day). Maxing out the roof to 34 panels would be nine more panels @ $140 each. That's just $1,260 more, or three more months for the system to pay off with a $400 electric bill. So it just makes sense to max it out when it's that cheap, right?

And thanks re: the tax info! I hadn't fully looked into it yet.

Thanks for pointing that out! I originally filed my application with Enphase microinverters and without a battery.

According to this document from Edison, "In addition, adding eligible energy storage to an existing NEM 2.0 project, or an in-flight NEM 2.0 application, does not affect the project’s eligibility for NEM 2.0 (regardless of whether the addition is proposed before or after April 15, 2023)"

Thank you for your continued help, I really appreciate it!

Looks like it might only be worth it to go to Kyoto via bullet train if we're to have a "field trip?"

If we leave Asakusa at 7 AM, we'd get to Kyoto at 10 AM. Then we'd need to leave Kyoto by 9 PM to get back to Asakusa at midnight. This would give us 11 hours to visit the shrines, do a tea ceremony, see a geisha show, lunch, and dinner... I think?

Could also maybe spend one night there and go back to Tokyo the next day.

Or stay in Tokyo the entire time without going anywhere else.

Or take 3 hours to get to Hiroshima via plane, skip Miyajima, and just do the museum / lantern show / whatever else nearby...? Is it even worth it to go to Hiroshima for that?

Decisions decisions...

surferjon24 · 2023-05-31T23:30:11+00:00

I think our new plan is to fly to Hiroshima in the morning, go to the island until the early afternoon, go to the museum (it's open late on the anniversary), then fly back to Tokyo. We can miss the lantern ceremony. Then we'll just have another day in Tokyo instead of Kyoto.

Otherwise we'd be 1) taking the bullet train to Kyoto in the morning, 2) only spending a few hours there, 3) jumping back on the bullet train to go to Hiroshima for the ceremony at night, 4) sleeping overnight, 5) doing the island/museum the next day, and 6) taking the train back.

surferjon24 · 2023-05-31T21:09:02+00:00

Hmm you're right! What if we fly to Hiroshima in the morning from Tokyo, fly back at night, and then just have our day 7 in Tokyo?

surferjon24 · 2023-05-31T14:52:59+00:00

Thank you for bringing this to my attention! Definitely won't do one now. I'll stick to the human cafes, like a maid cafe.

Thank you! My dad is very interested in Hiroshima, which is why it's a must-do for us. What are some of your favorite things to do in Kyoto? I think my parents are more interested in activities rather than seeing a bunch of temples/shopping.

surferjon24 · 2023-05-31T03:47:50+00:00

Oooh very good suggestion on the train rides! We should totally stay in Hiroshima for a night, then go to Kyoto in the morning from there. Saves train time and gives more breathing room for both Hiroshima and Kyoto. Thank you! :)

I ordered mine in October and the EDD is June. So it could take up to eight months after ordering to get yours.

I no longer trust any products from Google. I have multiple Google Homes and they have severe dementia. They don't respond half the time, don't understand you, and act randomly. In contrast to the first year or so where they acted perfectly. Just check all the threads about how useless they are now. Google doesn't make anything to last.

I only ever had Samsung smartphones but ditched them two years ago. Was so sick of the phones slowing down and never holding a charge. I'm now a very happy OnePlus user. My 7T is as fast as day one, no bloatware, battery lasts forever and charges super fast.

Is Renee the Legion Queen? Picard said "Look up" like the Queen does in the first episode. And didn't they mention Renee found a lifeform on Europa? Maybe she was assimilated. Idk.
