All the AI generated websites are driving me insane. They just repeat the same thing over and over again with a bunch of useless text.

FYI, those are known to be full of malware if you buy the random branded ones off Amazon. It’s Highly recommend that people go with known reputable brands.

Hmm, it’s almost like they were allowed into a certain economic system? A new trading partner, perhaps?

Same. People used low quality Ni-Mh batteries and got what they paid for. Eneloops have worked great for me. Believe it or not, Duracell has been great too. It’s the energizers that have all been awful for me.

It’s be way harder for me to go back to corded tools. Li-Po tools are incredibly convenient. I’ve been able to buy adapters for dewalt batteries that make them work with all kinds of tools and devices (including an adapter for a Dyson handheld vacuum).
Lightweight, powerful, and the batteries can be swapped (as well as a decent about of aftermarket batteries and adapters).

Google news is actually fantastic. I picked it up when Reddit dropped and it’s been a great time killer. Encouraged me to sub to a news site and read articles and less comments. Kbin/lemmy have been like a nicotine patch to get off Reddit.

Did you look into 12v mini split systems? Avoiding the need for an inverter might drastically bring down costs and efficiency. I’ve seen a couple sets out on the market that come with everything already (prefilled mini split system and solar panels). Adding a transfer switch and an inverter could get you somewhere! I liked the idea of it purely as an “assist” with a larger system. Pull some heat out of the house to reduce the load on the main hvac system.

Texas is number two in the country for PV capacity, and number one for wind power generation (by a long shot).
If you look at the numbers, you’ll notice that it doesn’t really correlate with political affiliation, but instead where it’s economically viable. The prices of the PV panels are slowly coming down, so we should see it become more prevalent as time goes on.

That’s actually a fantastic use of resources. Their chillers probably work much for efficiently. It’s similar to traditional power plants.

YSK - You can save mobile.weather.gov to your phones Home Screen and avoid the adds and bloat of other weather apps. https://mobile.weather.gov/

“Why YSK: Many paid and unpaid apps get their information from the National Weather Service (NWS). This information is freely available and paid for though taxes, which the other companies try to profit off of. Skip the BS and just go to the source. It might not be the most polished website, but it’s easily navigable (has an old iOS feel to it).

I can’t give a guide for android users, but for iPhone, open safari and head to “mobile.weather.gov”. Once the website is loaded, click the share icon on the bottom middle of your screen, and then select “add to Home Screen”.
