SpaceX has to do the disabling, so they are on board. I like to imagine that this was one of the conditions for the multi-billion dollar purchase of Starshield, along with exclusive use and SpaceX not being allowed to disable it anywhere for any reason.
I checked Home Depot today and, oddly, all the Rheem 240V models are selling for less than the 120V models of the same capacity, even before rebates.
If I do get a 240V model, I certainly would just disable the resistance heating mode, which all the Rheem models (and probably all models, period) have the option to do.
Well, this story is about disconnecting Starlink ground terminals that are being used by the Russian military inside of Ukraine.
Yeah, but they tend to be lower efficiency (UEF 3.0) and CA rebate program requires UEF 3.3 or higher, which apparently you can only get by switching to the higher voltage.
Edit: to clarify, I was referring to the California state rebate of $700 or $900 (depending on capacity) taken off the purchase price at checkout. The federal tax credit of 30% applies to the 120V drop-in replacement as well as the 240V models.
I’m in California, on NEM 2.0 for 8 more years unless NEM 3 gets rescinded. I also want to switch out my water heater to eliminate most of my fossil fuel burning, but instead of solar thermal I’ve been looking at heat pump water heaters. Much easier and cheaper to install, even with having to run a 240V line across the garage. If you currently have an electric resistance water heater, going with heat pump is a drop-in replacement and uses much, much less energy.
Like everything else, advertising pressure has ruined it. You can still search, but just zoom in and look over an area to see what is there? So many businesses missing, because they don’t pay Google to advertise. Apple Maps shows them all, because they don’t make money from advertising.
Open Street Maps are ok, but my area has a lot of businesses missing. If you know the address you need to go to, then it’s great for routing.
My personal hobby horse with Google killing things is Reader.
Same here! Excuse me, I think I hear some bots…now where did I leave my autocannon…?
Super Earths, because we know so little about them. They are the most common planet type (based on census from Kepler and TESS), but our solar system doesn’t have one, so we have no idea what they are like. Models and simulations give a few possible compositions, resembling mini-Neptunes, or water worlds with thick oceans, or more like Earth. Maybe all are possible. Earth-like rocky super-earths may be more geologically active than Earth, due to stronger convection and thinner crust. If they orbit a K-type dwarf, they could be candidates for super-habitable planets, with conditions even better for life than Earth.
They see the post-PC world, and Windows Phone never panned out.
You guys are getting to the post-mission screen? I’m 0/2 today, disconnect and crash. Both times near the end of Suicide missions. Over an hour, down the toilet.
Seriously, maybe start a movement that teaches the Force belongs to all, whether as powerful as a Jedi or as simple and every-day as just using it to grab stuff.
Oh nooooo…anyway.
I’ve had the same T-Mobile family plan since…I actually don’t recall. 2011? $25 per line for 4 phones. It was 2GB of 3G data per month, with a promotional bump to 4GB that they kept extending until it was permanent, then LTE data, then 50GB of LTE before it throttles down. It’s plenty fast, so no real need for 5G speeds, especially since most activity is on our home WiFi.
Because he, and the CPUC, want to make absolutely sure that there is no escape from the investor-owned utilities.
I quite like this. Doing these things satisfies that part of my brain that demands I clack the tongs twice every time I pick them up.
