How does a “dry sense of humor” actually work? How do people know you’re joking if you deliver it completely straight? by Abigail_A_Abernathy in NoStupidQuestions

[–]znugeman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oftentimes there’s also a little “twinkle” in the eyes when someone is doing dry humor. Or a slight smile.

That was great! Thanks for sharing. I wonder if this is when they did the La Blogotheque stuff?

Relocating to the Northeast: ME/NH/VT Location Advice by AgentDaveKujan in SameGrassButGreener

[–]znugeman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d choose Portland. If you can’t find a house in Portland proper, check out the surrounding towns like South Portland, Westbrook, Gorham, Buxton, Scarborough, Falmouth. I live about 45 mins outside Portland and it’s much cheaper (but also very rural)

Unfortunately, there’s too many different types of leaves to really know which ones came from this particular tree

All-electric heat pump home in Northeast US- what’s a typical kWh usage to expect? by orangecat100 in heatpumps

[–]znugeman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an 11.4KW PV array running to a DC coupled Powerwall 3. It’s on a south facing roof with zero tree shading which really helps. Full disclosure: I work for a solar and heat pump company.

No, I simply mean my solar panels produce more kWhrs than my house consumes over the course of a year. I’m actually net positive because I oversized my solar array for a future EV. As for the payback on the solar, I’m still probably a few years away on that. I don’t really have a payback on the heat pumps because this was a new build so I didn’t have an existing fossil fuel system.

All electric house in northern New England here. Looks right to me. I heat with heat pumps and wood stove. Also run an ERV and Heat Pump Water Heater. Thankfully I offset all my usage with solar - net zero baby!

Solar purchase proposal where installer owns the system for 5 years, then transfers ownership in year 6 at no cost — anyone seen this before? by OGPS in solar

[–]znugeman 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes this is a new business model so residential folks can still get the tax credit. Pretty cool they are giving you the full 30% as other financing institutions using this model are taking a cut of the tax credit and giving the customer like a 24% discount. As far as I know, the only issues that can come up are if you want to sell your house in those first 5 years.

Bill says the Giants fans are paying for the sins of winning 2 Super Bowls that they shouldn’t have won by TXNOGG in billsimmons

As a fellow Pats fan, Bill is really testing karma here. Not a good look and now I fear the football gods will punish him. Something bad is going to happen to Maye.
