    - aw heck, I guess I'll watch MoM then .. eventually -- nm - mud Aug 1, 11:54 3
      - I watched it a couple days ago. It was pretty good, but not truly great. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 1, 12:01 2
        
        my reaction to the trailers was usually "geez I get enough migraines in the spring, I'll wait" -- nm - mud Aug 1, 12:02 1
        
        The movie is probably less migrainey than the trailers, from what I recall. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 1, 12:06
- Spoils - Beryllium Aug 1, 11:29

- ‘Weakest Link’ renewed by NBC -- nm - Beaker Aug 1, 11:20
- Flash is still on? - sycor Aug 1, 11:19
- Onward to the movies! Did we see that MKEAT will not be in Aquaman as planned due to Flash push (his re-intro)? Batfleck doing it instead. -- nm - Spawn Aug 1, 11:18
Is this not an objectively funny sentence? -- (link) - Beryllium Aug 1, 11:05

Kim and I have spent the past week learning the hard way that grifters are all over the solar panel scene. - David Aug 1, 10:45 [youtube] 24
- I'm starting to think about solar. we have some local consortiums that are reputable; I'm very lucky. - amanda Aug 1, 11:51 2
  - just put some on your neighbors roof too -- nm - decline Aug 1, 12:01
  - There are some good calculators that will use your roof to estimate it. Here's one -- (link) - oblique Aug 1, 11:54
- Geesh!! that one system was $ 91k!! -- nm - St. Epiphany Aug 1, 11:38 8
  - All the systems quoted in that video were ridiculous. Prior to incentives, our cost is $2.63 / kWh produced . For $91k they should have been getting - oblique Aug 1, 11:44 7
    - The most consistent quotes we're getting here are low to mid-$30s for 4kW and $50-$65k for 8kW. I'm telling sales people about your deal. They laugh. -- nm - David Aug 1, 11:58 6
      - It's the battery. You don't have net metering so you have to have the battery to store the energy. It is wicked expensive -- nm - oblique Aug 1, 12:03 5
        
        What I'm noticing is that companies will happily throw in the battery when pressed by investigators to make good with customers. - David Aug 1, 12:07 4
        
        You have everything working against you. No net metering, 180-ish days of sun and cheap ass power to begin with. -- (link) - oblique Aug 1, 12:17 3
        
        Yup. This is the right thing to do. So, we want to do it, but we feel vaguely conspired against. -- nm - David Aug 1, 12:21 2
        
        Time to just go off grid. Solar + goats. -- nm - oblique Aug 1, 12:23 1
        
        We will name the goats Toothgnasher and Toothgrinder. - Dark Callisto Aug 1, 12:33
- I don't know if it is because it is TN but you definitely seem to have more roadblocks in that area. Have you looked into any of the nationwide - oblique Aug 1, 11:37 8
  - We have. It seems like the racket in the south is for energy companies to buy red state politicians and then place impediments in the solar process. - David Aug 1, 11:56 6
    - That is disheartening. I believe most of your issues are because of TN and the lack of net metering which REQUIRES you to have a battery - oblique Aug 1, 12:02 5
      - I've bounced around Reddit some. This consensus is that Tennessee is a hellscape, as is most of the south. - David Aug 1, 12:09 4
        
        Yeah, I'll have a minor electric bill as well to cover the meter and the hookup. Not a minimum per se but certainly can't go net zero. -- nm - oblique Aug 1, 12:17 3
        
        The bills in Florida are hysterical. It'll say $12.13 for service and then $17.87 for [insert BS reason here]. -- (link) - David Aug 1, 12:20 [youtube] 2
        
        can these folks just go off the grid and cancel their account ? -- nm - decline Aug 1, 12:25 1
        
        You hear that? That is FL laughing -- (link) - oblique Aug 1, 12:27
  - Pretty sure there is a law that you can take a sledgehammer to your neighbors panels, there. -- nm - Spawn Aug 1, 11:38
- poor kilbo -- nm - Spawn Aug 1, 11:35 1
  - We've moved to "Securing final approvals". They'd better move fast since they have all my money now (see below on Plaid) -- nm - oblique Aug 1, 11:39
- I agree, its unfortunate. Bit of Wild West antics. -- nm - budice Aug 1, 10:47

Framed: 3/6. I chose poorly 2/3. - JaxSean Aug 1, 10:20
Brewers trading closer Josh Hader to the Padres, Angels keeping Ohtani -- nm* - budice Aug 1, 10:19 3
- I don’t get that Brewers thing. You’re in the playoff hunt…why trade your closer given he’s got a year+ till free agency? - Will Hunting Aug 1, 10:23 2
  - They're probably worried he's about to blow out his arm. He's lost his accuracy for some reason, which is often a sign of something wrong in there. - David Aug 1, 10:28 1
    - Yeah, that’s about the only reason I would consider it given the other stuff -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 1, 10:29
A different approach to airline uniform rules -- (link) - ty97 Aug 1, 10:17 1
- What if the tat is... in a private area? -- nm - Spawn Aug 1, 11:22
This boat appears to be moored at one of the two marinas I'd want to put a boat at ... and also, it literally has my name on it -- (link) - Beryllium Aug 1, 10:12 1
- Looks nice but man I think I would get too claustrophobic. -- nm - sycor Aug 1, 11:17
The FAA is inviting public input on aircraft seat sizes :) -- (link) - Meg Aug 1, 10:07 2
- How about we start with making them compatible with bodies over 6 feet tall? -- nm - Barons Barons Barons Aug 1, 10:10 1
  - The NBC reporter commenting on it was 6'5" :) I'm only 5'7" these days but I have exceptionally long legs :/ Aisle seat only! -- nm - Meg Aug 1, 10:25
I too, am fascinated by the rules of this game: -- (link) - Jovian Aug 1, 10:05 8
- ah, I see she's using the Duke of Milan defense. You don't see that employed much any more -- nm - prayformojo Aug 1, 10:21 3
  - Didn't the Marquess of Queensberry Rules ban that from competition? -- nm - David Aug 1, 10:40
  - Naturally you must expect me to attack with Cano Ferro. -- nm - Barons Barons Barons Aug 1, 10:36
  - Especially after what happened to the Duke of Milan. -- nm - znufrii Aug 1, 10:31
- It was the perfect game during the social distancing era. -- nm - David Aug 1, 10:17
- It's like doggie kabaddi. -- nm - Barons Barons Barons Aug 1, 10:09

  - Looking from above or below? -- nm - Barons Barons Barons Aug 1, 10:45
Jax: I now share your hatred of Plaid. Tried using it last week to send a payment to our solar company. First it doesn't work with PNC so I used my - oblique Aug 1, 10:03 1
- That stuff concerns me, since a mess up can be a big financial loss. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 1, 10:16
I never like any argument that starts with "if you believe these women..." - David Aug 1, 10:01 5
- Believing them doesn’t automatically mean imprison the guy too. - Qale As Folk Aug 1, 10:36
- Meh, from a desire for justice, if you believe… is exactly the question to ask for anything. - Will Hunting Aug 1, 10:17 3
  - I always thought "believe women" was about encouraging them to step forward. The justice part has nothing to do with what you or I say. -- nm - con_carne Aug 1, 12:10
  - "If you believe these men." -- nm - Spawn Aug 1, 11:24 1
    - I'll take Believe The Semen for $400. -- nm - Sean Connery Aug 1, 11:33
Flair: A friend of mine who is buddies with Flair (he hires him to do Corporate gigs)...said Flair texted him at 4am - Remlik Aug 1, 09:54 2
- I was just telling Kim that some folks are calling the match Weekend at Ric's/Weekend at Flair's. -- nm - David Aug 1, 09:56 1
  - HA! He said Flair told him he was checked out immediately when he got to the back...and after resting and eating he was fine -- nm - Remlik Aug 1, 10:02

    - Thanks! I hadn't heard his name before today. There better be more moves coming. -- nm - Krusty Aug 1, 11:39
    - Sounds like the short version of Effin' gross. -- nm - David Aug 1, 11:36
  - The Cubs. I think they reportedly play baseball in Chicago but it is unclear. -- nm - oblique Aug 1, 10:04 1
    - the Cubs, a major league baseball club and also a baby bear, but that's not important right now. -- nm - Jovian Aug 1, 10:07

Heh. America *can* tax billionaires ... -- (link) - Beryllium Aug 1, 09:34 3
- 2/3s? Wow. -- nm - Spawn Aug 1, 09:39 2
  - Not really, no. Converting the annuity to its cash value knocks it down to ~700m before taxes, give or take. -- (edited) - znufrii Aug 1, 09:44 1
    - It used to be half, now it's 60% to cash out, taking the 30 year payout is like %4 and then they keep the principal at the end -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 1, 12:03
"They're dishonouring the Rocky franchise!" says director of Rocky V. -- nm - Reagen Aug 1, 09:34 1
- Who once intentionally caused brain damage to a stunt person to make a Rocky scene look more realistic. -- nm - David Aug 1, 09:57
I'm gonna call this architectural style "Frank Lloyd Lite" -- (link) - Beryllium Aug 1, 09:32 2
