- I'd do this in a heartbeat. -- nm - JaxSean May 11, 11:20
- no mention of how much space they get. I'm very willing to bet it is closer to 1000 square feet or less. -- nm - Peglegpete May 11, 11:05 2
  - Oh, it's probably 160-180 square feet. -- nm - David May 11, 11:11
  - of course it is. they are booking inexpensive cabins, those are small. On the other hand, they have an entire cruise ship for square footage. -- nm* - Andie May 11, 11:08
- Where do I sign up?! -- nm - Mop May 11, 10:43 2
  - No car! No insurance! Free internet and cable! Someone cleans for you! No possessions (except clothes) needed! Jimmy Buffet eat your heart out -- nm - Flavorize May 11, 10:49 1
    - And free lockdowns whenever someone gets Covid or a food-borne illness. -- nm - Will Hunting May 11, 10:54
- This person needs an editor. That fourth paragraph from the end is completely out of place. - Baruno May 11, 10:43
I’m going to be torn for who to vote for when PFM’s kid runs against Mop’s kid for president. Got some super smarties in the ST gene 🧬 pool -- nm - Flavorize May 11, 10:36 3
- Mine might run for president of Minecraft ... which might actually be a thing one day. -- nm - Beryllium May 11, 10:41 2
  - That would be awesome—My 5-year-old shooting for Princess/Doctor/Cat owner combo -- nm - Flavorize May 11, 10:54
  - I'll pay you 1.6 bitcoins for perpetual rights to that plot of Minecraft land on that Minecoast. -- nm - Baruno May 11, 10:45

Mark Rylance, still awesome. (OK, LMS posted this trailer way back in September...) -- (link) - Mop May 11, 10:12 [youtube] 3

Oooh, Strange New Worlds swear trek! -- (link) - Beryllium May 11, 10:06 1
- C-. That hardley matches up. -- nm - Max May 11, 10:57
Hmmm. Seems I misread my solar quote a bit. The certasun is a 7,650w production system (10,640 kWH/year) - oblique May 11, 09:56 23
- I'd love to go solar but my strata bylaws likely wouldn't allow it. And in terms of surface area, probably not enough to be worth the investment. -- nm - Beryllium May 11, 10:07 13
  - This is easily two years in the making for us but we knew we didn't want to do it before we moved. Some of our neighbors have systems with just a few - oblique May 11, 10:21 12
    - Our townhouse is basically 3 stories (storeys?), so it has a lot of internal space but a smaller overall footprint. -- nm - Beryllium May 11, 10:21 11
      - just put them on your neighbor's roofs too - they probably won't notice -- nm - decline May 11, 10:28 4
        
        Our strata corporation has 40 units, and more than half would complain at the bylaws violation. -- nm - Beryllium May 11, 10:31 1
        
        And I have zero yard space, which is one of the only major downsides to our place. -- nm - Beryllium May 11, 10:33
        
        I'm thinking ground based installation and just remove my backyard :) -- nm - oblique May 11, 10:29 1
        
        Your back yard is pretty big. There's a guy near me who did that. stacked 3-4 rows in his back yard instead of on the roof -- nm - decline May 11, 10:31
      - You need unfolding solar wings! -- nm - oblique May 11, 10:24 5
        
        I need a sailboat with an inflatable solar array when at anchor. Also I need to patent that. -- nm - Beryllium May 11, 10:26 4
        
        You can buy a portable solar panel for about $150. -- nm - David May 11, 10:27 3
        
        (The reason for an inflatable solar array for a sailboat is to use off-boat surface area instead of cluttering the deck) -- nm - Beryllium May 11, 10:30
        
        Oh, I'm well aware. I'm tempted to become a Jackery affiliate for my ChargeBySolar.com domain. -- nm - Beryllium May 11, 10:28 1
        
        In fact, if STers want to help me turn that domain into an actual site with actual content, please let me know. -- nm - Beryllium May 11, 10:28
- Yeah, that's why I was saying they're offering a rosy production estimate. - Reagen May 11, 10:00 8
  - Those numbers on b2 were like Greek. What should we be looking for? -- nm - David May 11, 10:04 3
    - First line was the number of panels and their power output - Reagen May 11, 10:43 1
      - Generally, how much power have needed/saved with panels? - David May 11, 10:53
    - Cost per watt. # of Panels * panel size / cost -- nm* - oblique May 11, 10:10
  - Appreciate your input on all this. It is a big step to take but I'm very excited about it -- nm - oblique May 11, 10:02 3
    - You start to get angry at clouds. "You're costing me money!" -- nm - Reagen May 11, 10:05 2
      - It's clouds illusions that you recall, you really don't know clouds at all -- nm - zeitgeist May 11, 10:16
      - I did get to enjoy mocking the news story about gas prices spiking this morning. I laugh in your face petrol! -- nm - oblique May 11, 10:15

  - I've had to keep this secret for months. -- nm - LMS May 11, 10:45 1
    - ah Ha -- nm - mud May 11, 10:48
Ming Chi Kuo says that Apple will drop the Lightning port for USB-C next year -- (link) - spamlet May 11, 09:48 2
- I like both. Only issue I have with USB-C is that it's scratchy to find the right port alignment. -- nm - Beryllium May 11, 09:52 1
  - Maybe but if Lightning cables could die today I'd celebrate. - spamlet May 11, 10:29
In news of the superfantastic, kiddo can now name all 197 countries of the world -- (pic) - prayformojo May 11, 09:47 [Attachment] 4
- yes, but can she pat her head and rub her tummy at the same time? -- nm - decline May 11, 09:56 1
  - don't be silly, no one can do that -- nm - prayformojo May 11, 09:58
- (She can now do all elements and countries. She says she's moving on to world capitals next.) -- nm - prayformojo May 11, 09:48
- 196 -- nm - Vlad May 11, 09:47
A cautionary note about Discord: private channel names are not as private as the content. -- (link) - Beryllium May 11, 09:45
We're stuck here another five weeks. This place is like Silent Hill 4: The Room. - David May 11, 09:45 8
- "Here"? I must've missed something. -- nm - Beryllium May 11, 09:46 6
  - We're building the world's most delayed house. -- nm - David May 11, 09:47 5
    - Closing Escrow always takes awhile -- nm - budice May 11, 09:52 4

        Let me know when you wanna go rob someone of their door. -- nm - Will Hunting May 11, 10:00
      - When David says he's currently in escrow, he's currently *in* escrow. -- nm - Max May 11, 09:53 1
        
        They literally renamed the town to Escrow, TN -- nm - ty97 May 11, 09:54
- :( -- nm - prayformojo May 11, 09:46
Moviedle- 2 - Diva May 11, 09:41
We finished up Ozark last night, overall an A. (minor spoil for final season) - JaxSean May 11, 09:38 6
- spoils - Jovian May 11, 09:42 5
  - It really was. (spoiler) - JaxSean May 11, 09:56 3
    - What did you think of the last shot of the series? Spoilers - Flavorize May 11, 10:53 2
      - it makes NO sense that it .. - mud May 11, 10:55 1
        
        yeah, not at that point on the character(s) arc. -- nm - JaxSean May 11, 11:21
  - "Your name is 'Bohner'?" -- nm - Mop May 11, 09:44
Ah, so it seems the US's residential school system may have had similar problems (read: potential horrors) as the Canadian one -- (link) - Beryllium May 11, 09:28 3
- Did anyone think that the U.S. residential school system DIDN'T have problems? Let me rephrase that... - Mop May 11, 09:31 2
  - Of course. I'm just saying, results are coming in, instead of just conjecture. -- nm - Beryllium May 11, 09:34 1

- Link-DL: Fred Savage Fired As ‘The Wonder Years’ EP/Director Following Investigation Into Inappropriate Conduct -- (link) - budice May 11, 09:27 2

  - How can you say that about a guy who's directed so many episodes of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia?! -- nm - Mop May 11, 09:29
