With 100% renewables you would need almost 100% storage and potentially for multiple days, with a nuclear baseload you'd only need storage for the peaks, you could even use excess renewables to charge up the storage for these peaks.

Just remember to disable firefox's default DNS over HTTPS setting that just fucking ignores your system DNS. So infuriating.

Your caretaker offers you cake so you kill her. Twice.

So hard to find trusty techs. I get it, a man's gotta eat, but you don't have to upsell me parts.

Heck yeah, such a good feeling. When I got home today I was like ''Man, it's hot outside...sure feels good in here though!''

It can be simple, you don't have to understand why something is wrong to know that it's wrong. They magically know it's the capacitor because it's the usual suspect, and they usually look swollen (the capacitor not necessarily the youtuber). Common problems are common, which is why youtube is pretty great because somene has probably had the same problem and posted the fix.

If i was doing HVAC for a living I'd get a resettable blade fuse for this task, but i got a box of fuses for a few bucks and I was able to isolate the problem after 3 guesses so I think it would have been overkill.

Probably, i think they need to get some other quotes though, that price seems pretty high for retrofitting some control systems, granted I don't know how many endpoints they are managing from this single point of failure.

don't forget to get that fuse, any car parts store will have them.

Good thinking having spare parts on hand, mine always seems to fail on a saturday afternoon and everyone is closed. I'm just glad my town finally has an AC installer that lets you buy parts from their storefront right off the shelf. Most of the suppliers in town don't sell parts to us peasants for some reason, i guess they don't want money.

being an electrical engineer has its perks, but the couple youtube videos i watched didn't require any technical knowledge, mostly just safety knowledge, like the one hand rule and how to safety squint.

it's the law

and a few weeks ago the compressor fan sounded like a t-rex stepped on a lego so i flipped her over, unfortunately she wasn't old enough for plugs so i just slowly let oil drip down my shaft and cranked it until i was satisfied. Now she doesn't scream at me when i try to turn her on. I use arch btw.

that was literally the last 2 times. This time it was the secondary coil on the contactor, had a short. Well i guess it's technically always short since it's a continuous wire but it was even shorter. Was getting about 2 ohms across the coil and i guess 10-20 ohms is expected and the low resistance was popping the secondary fuse.

I know this is a shitpost, but you should know that your headlight housing can be adjusted to aim properly. Mine was just an allen key and a couple turns to get it right on each side. Now I don't have to lift my truck to point them at your face.

The cake is a lie!

Rooting and custom rom get interchanged a bit. Rooting just means gaining access to root, graphene os is a custom rom and you don't necessarily have access to root. Personally i've been running custom roms for years with no root but it's my property and damn sure better be able to root it if I want to. Anyway, with either root or custom rom you can probably get around your carrier's tethering restrictions which is what OP meant.

The problem is the red ones take the orange ones seriously. Please don't feed the trolls.

I've been using 'lemmy users' but to save time i just use 'lusers'. Gets confusing with linux users but you already know if they use linux. I use arch btw.

He was so good in this movie. When he dies inside taking two tries to say 'what a savings' i can feel the pain.

My instance admin is the best btw.
