This is what people always say before change happens. Small mom and pop stores were the best thing ever. Until big box stores came around and put them out of business. Turns out people cared more about price and selection than they did about personalized attention

This is why socializing is so exhausting to me. I have to constantly be gauging the other person's interest in what I'm saying.

While often shared online as a true historical photo, this image appears to be AI-generated. Just to be clear, many people were truly held captive at Auschwitz and it was a camp that routinely tattooed its prisoners. This just isn't an actual photo of one.

California requires all parties to consent, meaning everyone must agree or know about a recording during private communications. Under California Penal Code § 632, recording a confidential conversation without total agreement is illegal

You know what else we have in america? A lot of land. And installing solar on open land is a lot easier and a lot cheaper. Maybe at some point in in the future it will be just as cheap and easy in parking lots but right now it's not

nerdydad66.bsky.social @nerdydad66.bsky.social · 09/07/2026
Suppose you have 20 amp breaker and your devices normally draw 18 amps. If you plug in a 3 amp device the breaker would flip. But if you have solar on that same circuit the breaker won't flip because it gets those extra 3 amps from the solar panels. this will overheat the wires

nerdydad66.bsky.social @nerdydad66.bsky.social · 09/07/2026
I'm not sure if it makes a difference but with 120 volt systems in the United States 800 watts is actually 6.5 amps
100
nerdydad66.bsky.social @nerdydad66.bsky.social · 09/07/2026
If the circuit you are plugging it into has a 20 amp breaker, and you add 6.5 amps (800 watts at 120v) to that circuit after the breaker, it's possible that you could be sending 26.5 amps through wire that is only rated for 20 amps. Maybe that's not a problem but that is my question

If the circuit you are plugging it into has a 20 amp breaker, and you add 3 amps to that circuit after the breaker, it's possible that you could be sending 23 amps through wire that is only rated for 20 amps. Maybe that's not a problem but that is my question

Let's say I plug a solar panel into a circuit that has a 20 amp breaker and the panel supplies 6 amps. Now let's suppose that I accidentally plug in appliances that pull a total of 25 amps. They will work because there are 26 amps on the circuit but the wires are only designed to handle 20 amps.

Yeah, mine don't last 10 to 20 years. But they do last multiple years, which is more than I could say for incandescent light bulbs

There was a cartel in the early 1900s that manipulated the life expectancy of light bulbs. But that ended in 1939. Surely you're not talking about something as old as this?Phoebus cartel - Wikipedia share.google/jU7JTpR2QtyK...

This makes no sense.. what the hell are you saying? I buy LED lightbulbs. I replaced one yesterday. The one I replaced was several years old. I can't remember when I replaced one previously. WTF are you talking about?

nerdydad66.bsky.social @nerdydad66.bsky.social · 08/07/2026
How do they deal with the safety issues? If you have solar panels putting electricity into a circuit AFTER the circuit breaker, how do you prevent wires on the same circuit from melting when the appliances pull more current than what the wires are suppose to handle?

We have plenty of open land to put solar panels on. Solar panels over parking lot cost a lot more because they have to be up higher which requires a heavier structure. And you have to trench underneath all the asphalt in order to run the power lines

It is a lot more expensive to install solar panels over parking lots than it is in a field. We have plenty of open land to install solar panels. Solar panels over parking lots require heavier structural components trenching and digging for lines under the pavement
