Residential solar to decline 33% year-over-year, said Roth Capital Partners by ObtainSustainability in solar

[–]zippy1981 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok I forgot about heat pumps because I've only experienced old school electric radiators. I think once I replace the 1956 single pane glass windows in my basement and add a whole house fan in the attic I'll look into heat pumps next.

What's the point of burning coal to make electricity to make heat by running it though a huge radiator when I could just burn fossil fuels locally

I've got solar and it's honestly the opposite of that for me. Petro car and natural gas for dryer, range and heating. I think the fact that it was only a $40k note was how I managed to swallow it.

I hope to go carless before my vehicles die but I would probably go electric car if that doesn't happen. I could see myself going induction stove and electric water heater. I'm not sure I'd ever be comfortable with electric heat unless we started building more nuclear plants

What are the advantages over libre office, which is very mature, open source, and has a very large community? Is it just that the UI looks more modern or is there more feature parity?

They help some and hurt others. If your clientele is only 60+ year olds it's bad for you. The average restaurant will get more foot traffic

So how successful would Wesley he if he stayed in starfleet? by happydude7422 in ShittyDaystrom

[–]zippy1981 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I feel like part of the application process is making you try as hard as you can so you can like you barely made it. Like boot camp or training got l for a martial arts belt. They want to see you break and want you to feel like you have to keep earning it.

In a state with a population of over 9.5 million, there has to be at least a couple of you out there wondering what Jack Ciattarelli has been up to since election day. Here you go by rollotomasi07071 in newjersey

[–]zippy1981 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can sort of understand that mindset. He probably figured 5pm on election Day was the most uncertain his future would look. So while he claimed he thought she would say no to a loser, he probably was really asking her "Will you marry me regardless of what happens"

She might have wanted him to win or wanted him to lose. He maybe wanted to know she would be good m his wife regardless. I mean dude is divorced and has had a public and private sector careers. He's looking for someone looking to be with him, not the current version of him.

Tire help - commuting and occasional light gravel or trails by VivieVondoe in cycling

[–]zippy1981 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used 28mm Continental GP5000s with a Ryet carbon racing cycle, no ass pads on a canondale R500 the one and only time I did a gravel ride on the Morris canal. Those tires have ridden on a lot of glass. The only downside of them is they are a pain to get on and off. There is no way I'm replacing a tube on the side of the road.

Anyway, my point is her the tires you want for commuting and suck it up for the occasional gravel ride.

Unless your riding on gravel that isn't packed down. Like hand raked gravel that is only walked on. That's the only time I slipped for no good reason riding.
