Doctor Strange 2: $12.6 million Tuesday, Down 7% (ouch!) from Monday. Civil War did $13.8 million, Age of Ultron did $13.1 million. -- (link) - Inigo May 11, 08:17 4
- DAMN YOU $5 TUESDAYS!!! -- nm - Spawn May 11, 09:06
- down $1m during COVID seems really really good to me...from Civil War and Ultron -- nm* - Beaker May 11, 08:18 2
  - Except DS2 made $8 million more than Civil War did opening weekend. So, it's a case of it starting out higher, and already being lower. - Inigo May 11, 08:21 1

VW to resurrect Scout brand as US-based EV -- (link) - spamlet May 11, 07:39 7
- How about bringing back the Beetle as one too? -- nm - Qale May 11, 07:43 6
  - Give it 10 years. - spamlet May 11, 07:45 5
    - The Beetle as a city commuter EV would sell a billion units. -- nm - Reagen May 11, 07:55 4
      - Maybe in Europe. I don’t think anyone here is going to buy a 150 mile range EV - spamlet May 11, 07:56 3
        
        In 10 years you'll get 150 mi range from a phone battery. -- nm - Reagen May 11, 08:05
        
        The only issue with that range for me would be trips to the shore during the summer, really. Though I’d probably prefer a Mini over a Beetle. -- (edited) - znufrii May 11, 08:05 1

The NBA, which pulled its 2016 Allstar game from Charlotte over a transgender bathroom bill, is playing games next season in Dubai - Strongbad May 11, 06:55 5

      - China drove a dump truck full of money up to their house. -- nm - Baruno May 11, 08:08
LIR Krusty Japan isn't a republic, neither was the Ottoman Empire or Zhou. And Roger More, my comment was meant more as a joke. - sycor May 11, 06:50 1
- IMO, it's the minoritarian rule, which is the same thing that collapsed the First Polish Republic. -- nm - Reagen May 11, 06:57
This second season of Halo (the game) has the same flaw that the first one did. Waaaaay too easy to level up/season too long. - Volnelk May 11, 06:50 2
- I was under the impression that the first was just extended to help new players and the second season would go to a normal length - J May 11, 07:02 1
  - When it came out it was challenging to level up so they made it waaaay easier. If you play a double XP at the right time, you can fly up the rankings - Volnelk May 11, 07:08
Speaking of becoming scarce, I feel for parents of newborns who are caught up in the baby formula shortage -- nm - prayformojo May 11, 06:49 9
- I hadn't heard there was a shortage. That's terrible. I'll try not to complain about my bacon being more expensive. -- nm - sycor May 11, 06:53 6
  - Approx 40% of baby formula brands are out of stock - a big (maybe biggest?) manufacturing plant is offline because of a bacterial issue. - decline May 11, 06:59 1
    - I have a co-worker that just had a baby. I wonder if she is having trouble. Maybe I will inquire and see if I can help out if I happen to see any. -- nm - sycor May 11, 07:01
  - Yep. Seeing several posts on social media from people begging their friends in other parts of the country to look around. -- nm - Volnelk May 11, 06:55 3
    - Yeah. It’s so bad that I can’t recall the last time I scanned any. And I would remember since they’re on limit. - Qale May 11, 07:46
    - I don't really social media so I hadn't heard. That is terrible. -- nm - sycor May 11, 07:02

- Do you guys get to do net metering? -- nm - znufrii May 11, 08:16
- given the extra production and lower cost, #1 seems a no-brainer. Any difference in how long expected to last? Or annual upkeep costs? -- nm - Beaker May 11, 06:51 1
  - There's no real annual upkeep costs. The SunPower panels are listed at 22.8% efficiency and 92% output at 25 years. The REC panels are 21.6% and - oblique May 11, 06:53

        (I laughed cause I though Reagen meant the $1 it was out :) ) -- nm - Beaker May 11, 07:21
      - Looks like I took their estimated usage. Should be 10,460 production (or is that not what you were referring to)? -- nm - oblique May 11, 06:49 15
        
        The others are just taking the kW rating and assuming 1 hour of full production a day (a good ballpark - I get 1.14 over the full year). -- nm - Reagen May 11, 06:55 14
        
        The certasun guy said my "sun rating" or whatever was like a 92 and that anything over 70 was good. -- nm - oblique May 11, 06:57 13

        Can't calculate without a reference but it looks shallow. You'll probably get "better" production in summer (edit: I'm dumb) -- (edited) - Reagen May 11, 07:17 6
        
        Our usage estimates are non-existant so I'm guessing left and right about what we will use. The 10kWh option seems by far the most attractive both - oblique May 11, 07:20 5
        
        I think they're giving a rosy estimate on production. -- nm - Reagen May 11, 07:26 4
        
        Well, I will say, they are guaranteeing 228,401 over 25 years so 9,136 kWh. Yes, less than the 10k quoted but still... -- nm - oblique May 11, 07:33 3
        
        As in they pay you if you don't hit that? - Reagen May 11, 07:40 2
        
        Yes. 12.4c/kWh for shortfall. I mean, who is to say that any of these companies will be around 25 years from now -- nm - oblique May 11, 07:47 1
        
        A kWh might cost a lot more than that in 25 years. -- nm - Reagen May 11, 07:52
