The girl in the cat one is pretty hot.

The last one is so adorable I would think it has to be CGI, but looks real to me!

30 Recently picked-up 4 books to add to my Infinity Pile
- The Best Of Normal Rockwell (a coffee table book but great art to look at)
- "The Golden Age" by John C. Wright, because I miss good SciFi writing
- "Pride and Prejudice" because if I'm going to read anything by Jane Austen that seems to be what to read
- "The Return of the Great Depression" by Vox Day, written before he was un-personed for wrong-think

Figure at the current rate I'll get to these in about, oh, (looks at calendar) 2025 assuming I'm still above-ground.

55 The Vox Day book is pretty good.

I'm thinking, if I get some big stimulus bux, that I might get a Jackery 1000 with the solar panels. It's not cheap but it would power the things I do want to keep. And I may well be off grid. it's greener than a generator, so maybe they'd let me keep it.

Stray cats are assholes. They act like they're so independent and strong and brave until they get caught in a fucking tree, and then they're damsels-in-distress.

So you feel a pang of sympathy, climb up there and retrieve her. And she immediately becomes a corpulent, food-chomping house beast for the next fourteen years, waking you up every four hours for MOAR AFFECTION the whole time.

Not that I don't love her, but that's the way it is with these bastards.

The big stationary generators are dominated by Generac, made in USA, if that matters to you.
Home Depot and Lowe's have them, although you might need to order.

Guy on Youtube who goes by Captain Capitalism summed up the college thing well: go STEM, go trades, or go home. Liberalism or no, if she's backing out of a $200K literature degree or something equally useless before paying all that money it'll be to her benefit in the long run. Most corporate jobs that would accept such a degree don't actually pay very well when one considers both the cost of the degree and the high cost of living in and around the corporate office parks.

Not sure where you are, but the trades here in Indiana always need hard workers willing to learn. I'd look at the Carpenters Union and the IBEW for starters. Good work, decent pay, pension, and they pay for your schooling. And unlike government union workers, trade union folks for the most part excel at what they do.

139 I'm intending to establish my own Re-Education Camp, and be a Federal Contractor. For a VERY substantial "per-head" fee, of course. With at least 50% of my fee paid in advance.

I'm thinking $150k per inmate for a thorough re-education. But, I'll absolutely guarantee results, and zero recidivism.

Of course, D.C. will be a bit miffed when I send 'em that crate with the heads of various VIP dems, journalists and activists, but hey, a deal is a deal. I *did* specify a "per head" rate, and that's what I would aim to deliver! (/snrk, in case unca feddie be clueless)

Here's a thought: try to do as Jesus told us and pray for your enemies.

Of course, He didn't say WHAT to pray for you enemies.

But hate will eat you up, and it is counterproductive. Dislike all you want, but true hate is the flip of love, and it kills you before it kills the object of your hate.

Also, He told us to heap kindness on those you loathe, so as to heap coals upon their heads and show them up for the rotters they really are. Not sure I can go that far, but I can certainly try, as in "bless your heart."

She is a really smart kid, way above her peers in general knowledge, and thinks independently.
Was talking with her a few months ago, and said the propaganda was really bad. Then she would come home from school, talk with her dad a few days, and got straightened out.
Other than STEM, there is really no reason for colleges to be teaching much else, it's just propaganda at this point.

Posted by: Catherine at Jan

I have one. I bought the generator myself and the electrician hooked it up. Mine is on wheels so I didn't need a permit. Also depending on where you live the neighbors may complain about the noise, some of them are loud. I also have another one that works my domestic well, it runs on propane, that one turns on automatically if the power goes out.
The one for my house i have to pull a lever manually. The automatic switch for the house was estimated to cost a lot of money.

270 Late to the generator discussion but

Several things to consider.
If your generator runs on natural gas, you may have to upgrade your service line to your house or you may have to upsize your pipe depending on the gas demand of the generator and where you locate it.

Similar issue for propane, how much are you going to run it, and where do you locate it. For example, a 10-12 kw generator uses about 2.6 gal of propane per hour and needs a 3/4 to 1 inch service line.

Generators are cheaper to install near your present service mast and meter.

But Biden? Much less Harris? Nuke NYC and they'd apologize for being so provocative.

Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at January 21, 2021 09:02 PM (KZzsI)

287 There are new automatic transfer switches (ats) that run about 5-600 that will allow you to avoid a daughter breaker box or having to use a lockout device on your existing breaker box. These new load shifting ats devices allow full 100, 150, and 200 amp power to go to your existing breaker box and use computer modules on high demand electric devices to switch them on and off to keep the load on the generator lower. Thus, you can buy a smaller generator (less fuel and cost) without worrying about manually switching on and off breakers or overloading your generator.

Make sure to analyze your site location (code issues apply to avoid fire and carbon monoxide infiltration), service location, parts and service availability, and set up a power budget to size your generator. Generator manufacturers often have a pre done web app that helps you size your generator properly.

Generac is a decent brand with an existing service and parts network, Briggs and Stratton is an up and coming brand that motor parts at least are available everywhere. Kohler and Honeywell are two other standby generator companies. More limited service network and parts for these, the last that I checked.

317 CaliGirl, an ATS (automatic transfer switch) transitions automatically between generator and line power and avoids backfeed which can kill a power company lineman trying to fix power lines.

Some are now smart and can adjust loads by turning off and on electric high demand appliances such as a hot water heater, stove, or ac. You can even assign priorities to these devices. That way it balances the load and avoids kicking off the main breaker and you can manage with a smaller kw generator than you would otherwise need.

Posted by: whig at January 21, 2021 09:10 PM (pO7gM)

318 I don't know what that means.


Posted by: CaliGirl at January 21, 2021 09:05 PM (MYL0

Ours is a manual interlock, which means a manual device which prevents the generator and main power both being supplied at the same time, and which means more work to get it going, but cheaper and more fail-proof in the long run. On a new construction where you don't have to worry about re-wiring, or adding satellite panels, the parts amounted to about a $200 additional cost to the planned cost for electrical installation on our build.

332 Ours is a manual interlock, which means a manual device which prevents the generator and main power both being supplied at the same time, and which means more work to get it going, but cheaper and more fail-proof in the long run. On a new construction where you don't have to worry about re-wiring, or adding satellite panels, the parts amounted to about a $200 additional cost to the planned cost for electrical installation on our build.

That's how mine for the house works. There's a box at the south end of my house with a big lever that I switch to use the generator.
One of the ranches near me built his dream house and his goes on automatically. I wanted that but it was too expensive to do here.
My house is fairly large, I needed a really big generator.

Hot water recirculation system -- gives you nearly instant hot water at the taps. I thought it was great, until I started looking at the power usage.

The new house is on a slab with PEX plumbing, most of it under the slab. Those pipes are thus surrounded by dirt under the slab. No insulation (and I don't know what if any would be suitable for direct burial).

The heat loss was unbelievable. I still can hardly believe it but it was putting an average load of 1 kW on the system. This was pushing the daily average load over 3kW, and that's getting into some money.

I measured the temperature drop on the loop, and it was losing 4-5 degrees F on the round trip, and the little recirculator pump is about 1GPM. With a 50 gallon water, that's about 50 minutes to lower the temperature of the whole thing 5F.

And that's exactly what it was doing. The water heater was coming on about once per hour and running for 10+ minutes.

Manual transfer switches are the cheapest by far compared to automatic. That's what I'd do.

Backfeeding lines is a problem. Usually, if there's a short or even heavy load on the downed/faulted high voltage distribution lines, one little generator would just trip out trying to feed it. But for isolated lines with little load, backfeeding can be a problem.

Duke around here has specific grounding protocols the lineman follow just to handle that possibility.

A common option is to put an "emergency subpanel" in. You put your "emergency loads" -- things you want to run off the generator on that. Fridge, freezer, etc, etc.

Now, you put a transfer switch on that, and they even make special generator panels with all that built in -- usuallly an interlocking breaker arrangement. Those are relatively cheap.

You wire that to the main panel, and the other feed to a generator inlet, and power the subpanel off the generator during the power outage.

-----------
Trump was at his best on the foreign stage, where he actually got some respect. He led like Presidents used to do, open with a strong position, then move to make a deal to turn a confrontation into a negotiation. Shoot, he met Kim Jon Un face to face....after warning him that in terms of nuclear parity the USA could afford to lose a city because in turn the USA could destroy the DPRK entirely. On reality check delivered, but the summit (which was mocked by MSM) got him mad respect. Ditto with making NATO play nice, winding down the action in Iraq without looking weak or abandoning allies, and making the PRC pay for its bullying behavior.

But the world leaders know Biden is an empty suit available to the highest bidder, and Harris is a nonentity with no understanding of foreign policy. Here comes trouble again....

Yes, but all the greats do it. IM is probably the most creative but Metallica, Judas Priest, all of them do it. Even quasi-metal bands like Queensryche have fascinating song topics. AC/DC is mostly about getting laid and drunk but they have some fun

The musicianship of Metal instrumentalists (good ones, anyway) is simply unmatched. They're freaks; what opera singers are to vocalists. The parallels with Opera are actually quite stunning - over the top productions, freakish musical talents, high drama and deep meanings everywhere.

And yet, I really never got all that much into it. Too much of a ProgRock snob I suppose. Sigh.

410 Painkiller is my absolute favorite Judas Priest song
and I think the perfect example of the genre. All you need to play for
someone new to the kind of music is that one song, then when you pick
them up off the ground through the hole in the wall they were blown
through.

Posted by: Christopher R Taylor

I love Priest, but aside from Nightcrawler, Painkiller bores me. My favorite metal album of all time is "Sad Wings of Destiny". "Tyrant" is my favorite Priest track.

Rush did that to Caress of Steel. But they didn't even fix the one thing that needed it: Neil's (or Terry Brown's, depending on who you ask) too-quiet spoken parts of "The Necromancer". The only thing that needed fixing, they didn't touch. Gah!

428 We built our house 15 years ago and I had it wired for a generator. Just basics like furnace, lights, fridge, etc. We had extra breaker space so we did a bathroom and several outlets.

A few years later I started brewing beer. Got a beer fridge and a legging system and was having a ball. One day the power went out and I was pleasantly surprised to learn that we put the beer fridge on one of the outlets that was wired for the generator! It was totally by accident.

God really wanted me to have cold beer from a keg, is the moral of that story!

We feel incredibly betrayed: Thousands of Guardsmen forced to vacate Capitol

Thousands of National Guardsmen were forced to vacate congressional grounds on Thursday and are now taking their rest breaks outside and in nearby parking garages, after two weeks of sleepless nights protecting the nations capital in the wake of the violent assault on Jan. 6.

One unit, which had been resting in the Dirksen Senate Office building, was abruptly told to vacate the facility on Thursday, according to one Guardsman. The group was forced to rest in a nearby parking garage without internet reception, with just one electrical outlet, and one bathroom with two stalls for 5,000 troops, the person said.
