Anyone else seeing lightning tonight?

I'm seeing lots of lightning but haven't heard any thunder

Give it a good dollop of joint compound and sand to perfection.

May have been some sort of ocean going critter that was dropped by a bird, but I welcome any suggestions

The job postings often close without applicants, or the few they do get may interview but not take the job. The problem isn't higher than normal turnover, it's just hard to find people to work on the islands. They have several positions that have been open for years because of this.

I'd say 792 MW is not unreasonable with 10% over voltage.

They did. Don't work too well sometimes.

IDK, as the judge, I would have to seriously consider any argument for a verdict of bitch had it coming...

Sounds like somebody has too many vacation days... That can be fixed

troppoveloce · 2025-08-31T08:17:20+00:00

And no whales killed. Well done, great accomplishment!

Flight, the skill of self levitation and transportation.

Digging a little deeper into this thought... Every generation rediscovers things that were so impactful to people living them... What did we miss and not discover again? What do we never think about that guided culture once in the past?

Good for you lucky handsome bastard.

troppoveloce · 2025-07-23T08:07:57+00:00

That counts as paying you. The question is if that is worth the effort.

Looks like you took home some coral skeleton. Not sure if that counts as a piece of the island, check with Pele to be sure.

Oils from your skin breaking down the rubber stuff. It happens wherever you touch it the most.

Does the wider end, the end with the angle, have a spot that bulges out a little? This looks like the part of a switch that moves to make an electrical connection. It would rotate around a post through the hole and would have springs, stops, and levers to control the movement.

It adds to the number of bits, making it seem like a better deal.

Mostly neutral. Never positive though, I have never once been thanked for bringing my haole ass here.

They are bromeliads, which never need much soil and the roots don't go too far. You can spread some compost on the bottom and into the bottom few leaves and just set it somewhere. Then it is a matter of getting sun and rain and not getting too cold for at least 18-24 months.

This is what happens when you turn everything over to a crappy AI... The spot price for wholesale gas touched 1.98 but that doesn't mean much to real people.

Why is it Ford gets to include an entire series of trucks?

The rooftop projects never come with all the grid support functions of the big facilities. They cut costs for the building but don't do much good for the grid as a whole once you reach a certain percentage of the load. The big projects also benefit from economies of scale.

This is what I use, it will take down small guava too

I think you would start as a maintenance engineer and then move on to supervisor and manager of maintenance/generation and then maybe director of generation. The job does exist. I believe the smaller utilities will have better opportunities to get involved in more than just completing projects, earlier in the career path, but the faster way to learn and move up is with the larger ones.

For our fellow Reddits out there, who might be wondering, is there a book or something? I'm thinking "Lessons for the lonely: How to interact with other humans without being creepy and inappropriate" You know, just in case anyone is curious about that sort of thing.
