With 40 million still without power in Florida, those with solar panels on their roof can't use it to power their own homes. Because utilities! - Mop Sep 19, 20:36 13
- Speaking about solar power, this is the new IKEA store opening here. -- (link) - GregW Sep 19, 23:00

- most places call that extortion -- nm - peglegpete Sep 19, 20:50

  - my solar box has an automated shutoff that kills outgoing power to the grid when the main power goes out. I can still use it to power my house. -- nm - mafic Sep 19, 20:56 3
    - My understanding is that if you lived in Florida, you would still be an outlaw even with that. - Beryllium Sep 19, 21:03 2
      - yeah, which is why they can't use their solar when the grid's off. basically Florida has the worst possible situation for consumers, couched in - mafic Sep 19, 22:20

  - The first season is uneven. From that point forward, it's masterful. -- nm - David Sep 19, 19:37 7
    - Put it this way: even when catching up on GoT I can always ff through one character's scenes. Who can I ff through in HaCF? - Max Sep 19, 19:39 6
      - I hate Cameron with a passion. - Mop Sep 19, 22:01

  - your IM nullifies your OM -- nm - mud Sep 19, 19:51 1

  - I've been looking for beef bacon, I remember seeing a couple years ago. -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 19, 21:21

- I only eat bacon maybe a few times a year so pork could easily go -- nm - J Sep 19, 19:27
- I brutally murder the person who tries to position me in that impossible quandry. - David Sep 19, 19:26
- Bacon's never been a big deal for me, and I love burgers, but pork is just too yummy In All Its Forms, so I'd have to go A -- nm - prayformojo Sep 19, 19:21
- losing bacon would be tough but it's no contest vs hamburgers and steak. -- nm - Reagen Sep 19, 19:16
