Congress is the real problem in all of this. They've abdicated all of their power.

Congress should have impeach Trump. They should have impeached at least Clarence Thomas for the blatant bribery. Merrick Garland should have been on the bench. They shouldn't have allowed most of this.

If there's one defective branch of government, it's Congress. They were supposed to be the balance vs the other two.

It makes more sense when you have the background that most people don't have a term for that.

Because of course that's what you're looking for at first. But yeah, I get that the "no term" data is actual positive data that they surveyed, and they want to make that distinct from "no survey data" but...

They're always worried about how Fox News will portray it.

"stock standard Dem" is looking pretty good right now.

Isn't it cool how the Dems and the Nazis get equal criticism on Lemmy?

I mean, it's mostly valid, and yet...

They do now. Attempting to influence the federal reserve board isn't good for the rich (or anyone else).

He's trying to overheat the economy to get a gold star before it collapses.

I don't think you'll get paid any more. But everyone should get better buying rates at peak solar times.

Two of the largest drivers are religion, christians wanting their Sharia Law, and Russia taking political control of the US.

Capitalism is in the top three, sure. It's also part of the driver of that technology.

I don't think we should worship capitalism as we have, but I don't think getting rid of capitalism as a whole solves more problems than it creates.

Give me capitalism with heavy socialist controls and political separation please, thanks. The general idea of using money as a measure of what society owes you isn't terrible. It's allowing that measure to get so out of whack and have such inordinate control of everything that is the problem.

Because it's in the screenshot, open kosher online catering?

And they'll use this. The same way they used it against Al Franken, who did nothing wrong.

By the time they release the files, it'll have exactly the names they want it to have. It'll be up to forensic teams to try to find the changes and the truth within those files.

Like, I'm inclined to think maybe Trump fooled around with some 15-16 year old girls who could pass for 18-20.

That's incredibly generous. I don't get all the "pass for" stuff. They were screwing 12-16 year olds who looked their age.

Watch the video of the Station Nightclub Fire. You'll be scarred, but you won't ignore fire alarms.

I'm looking for something in the low hundreds range, mostly to do Visual Studio Code, pretty light html editing, general purpose stuff like Netflix and web browsing.

I'd kind of just like a decent tablet with a keyboard cover. The Pixel tablet might be an option, even if I have to go with something like this.

https://store.google.com/us/product/pixel_tablet $280

https://www.logitech.com/en-us/shop/p/k480-multi-device-wireless $35

I'd of course prefer to run Linux over Android if it works. Is there anything in a similar form factor and function for price in the Linux world?

 

Might not fit perfectly with the theme here, but thought people might be interested anyway.

I'd recommend it to anyone who owns their house, has a reasonably accommodating roof (particularly south facing), and plans to be in their house for the next 10 years.

June 2025 solar stats

With the 30% US federal tax credit, I expect to make back the investment in roughly 13 years. I'm not counting either the rising price of electricity or the opportunity cost of just putting that money in an index fund.

After 13 years, everything should be profit after that. But it's not just for the financial reasons.

It's a 13.7 kw system. Peak I've seen it produce so far is around 12.3, with a little less than half the panels facing north. I'm not sure if or when I should expect peak production if not around noon on the summer solstice.

I do recommend having some kind of battery. I went with a Tesla Powerwall 3, partly because I spent so much time haggling and negotiating with my solar installer that I didn't want to make any further changes. Partly because I expect Tesla to be a name brand that will be around in ten years. Enphase is much better, but it's also much more expensive. There are probably better options.

I have the Tesla PW3 providing stats through the Fleet API to Home Assistant, which is where these graphics are from. One of the biggest reasons I'd recommend against Tesla is that you're dependent on your stats to pass through their cloud API and back to you. If your internet goes down, you lose stats. If Tesla gets annoyed with you, or just decides to stop providing the service, you lose stats. If the PW3 still had a local API like the PW2 did, I'd feel much more comfortable with it. I don't have a home solar installation so that I can be dependent on some company. For anything, if I can help it.

Theoretically, when the power goes out, the PW3 is supposed to switch over in a number of milliseconds low enough to keep all the computers and electronics running. It's supposed to be an advantage over a generator, which takes a few seconds. The one grid power outage we've experienced so far did have a noticeable blinking of lights and a server restart.

The battery allows us to continue to have power when the grid power is out, completely disconnected from the grid. At least in my area, if you don't have a battery*, your solar goes out when the grid goes down. They don't want your power feeding back into the grid while they're working on what should be dead lines. (You can get the cutoff system installed without a battery, but it's a significant chunk of a battery price, and you might as well just get a battery.)

During the spring, the battery was often lasting through the night. For awhile we tried to be as self-sufficient as we could. My utility company paid us about 10 cents per kWh (in credits only), and charged us about 23 cents per kWh. So early I was trying to minimize use of the grid as much as possible, with automations to use the battery at the early part of the evening and during the morning. Then I realized that, yeah, there's a difference, but it only settles up once a month. So the ratio is 1:1 until that one day when it settles. Now I'm much less concerned about being self sufficient, though the couple weeks of experimenting with it was fun.

I should have all the hardware, with the Tesla Universal Wall Charger to allow me to use a vehicle as a whole home battery. I just got an Ioniq 6, which I've really enjoyed, and has some Vehicle to Load capability. But even though all the hardware is probably there, the software certainly won't allow anything but a Cybertruck to do the reverse charging through the wall charger. For reference, the PW3 holds 13.5kWh of energy. The car holds 77kWh. So getting that to work someday would basically expand our battery capacity by 6x, and certainly get us through any night where we're not using AC, likely getting us through multiple cloudy days without AC. (AC uses about 3 kWh per hour, otherwise known as 3 kw.)

Uh, I've had this post open way too long, so I'll just post. I've learned quite a bit over the past year. If anyone's thinking about it or wants to fire off some questions, I'm happy to answer what I can.
