If your solar panels are grid tied, they are useless during an outage. Most panels are grid tied.

If your pipes are depressurized you’re going to hear lots of hisses and weird sounds until you clear the air pockets from the lines. I think you’re on the right track, but I would add 4B. Once all the valves are closed and you’re sure any tanks (toilets, WH, etc) are full, watch your meter and see if it’s still moving. That’s the easiest way to confirm if you have a leak somewhere. To confirm it’s pipe related you probably want to shut off toilet valves. They can sneaky leak and give you a false positive.

Yea, we stayed above 60 until last night. The solar loading during the day Monday and Tuesday helped keep the temp up in the house The cloud cover today really sucked. We still have power 5 hours later, so maybe we will be able to get the house back up to temp before we get caught up in the rolling blackout stuff.

And of course the second I ask that power comes on finally. 61 hours of no power. So far no issues that I can find. House got down to 58. Spray foam is worth every penny.

Is there any reason I can’t hook up my septic tank to a generator? My biggest problem right now is my septic hasn’t pumped out for 2 days and I’m worried we could backflow at some point soon. I would have to rig up a cable from an old extension cable to the breakers in the septic box (turning off the main service panel breaker and unhooking that line of course). Just wondering if there’s something I’m missing.

We had power go in and out from about 2-3:30, then it finally quit for good. Oncor shows over a million customers affected out of 3.7 million, so I’m guessing it will be a while before I see power again.

Yea, the R from ND was on FN and said as much. Without a Republican present they can’t have a quorum in any committees, so they can shut the senate down the entire time the trial is happening.

That’s the only reason this c team is here. The b team refused to go down this road and quit a week before the impeachment.

I think PSYOPs has a new weapon for interrogation. Playing this fucking guy reading Trump phone call transcripts.

Ouver?

Is there a rule against calling out senators by name that aren’t paying attention? Because they should get the grade school treatment for acting like dicks. Don’t let FN and others pretend that these senators are doing their jobs. Shame them, and shame them often.

16 hours of prosecution, at least two days, then 16 hours of defense.

Got my second Pfizer shot yesterday around noon. I had no reaction to the first, but I woke up to a golf ball sized angry red knot on my arm this morning. I also have a massive headache, but that may be the weather. No other problems. My 65 YO mother got her second Pfizer shot yesterday too, no reaction on her arm or any other effects.

He definitely looks like he is on something in a lot of videos, but I don't know that its coke. At his age, if he was as frequent user as he appears to be he would be showing some signs of coke nose at this point, wouldn't he?

That wasn’t an insurrectionist riot, it was democracy!

Long after they leave office? Hasn’t it been less than a month?

Uh, wtf was that drinking move?

Can this motherfucker not work PowerPoint to give everyone else a visual aid? Why is he reading from a tourist kiosk pamphlet?

I feel like I’m having a stroke watching this shit.

Nebraska is a judicial thinking place.

Republicans right now.

Getting strong Uncle Jack vibes.

I forgot that after the riot congress stopped the EC vote counting process and the Rs could no longer object.

If your party and beliefs attract and amplify people like MTG, most rational people would do some soul searching on their party and beliefs. Especially coming from the so called party of principle. I somewhat understand republicans that held their nose in 2016 and votes for trump, he was still an unknown quantity and when it comes to the presidency it’s more of a vote for your party platform, not necessarily the person (incumbents excluded). He was a known piece of shit in 2020, but the R party rode him because he was willing to sell power for abortion judges and shit on brown people. They stopped caring about ethics, fiscal responsibility, big government, and tyranny. Rs literally chose to sell their party to a lunatic. Props to them for not even pretending by not having a sham party platform in the run up to 2020. MTG on the other hand, is an absolute shit freshman in a house that Rs are in the minority. Her losing her spot on committees does no damage to the R party or the R platform in the house. Rs can place literally anyone else in their caucus to those seats and no one will blink. Her being expelled from the house entirely does no damage to the R party or their platform in the house. Her bumpkin district will elect another R to replace her, no question. Even if that wasn’t the case, you went from a minority position to a minority position. Even when served an absolute layup for doing the right thing, they chose to keep riding Trump’s dick. The party’s problem isn’t their choice of candidates, it’s the candidates they are choosing. Boberts and MTGs are replacing “normal” republicans. It’s happening because instead of reclaiming the party, principled republicans like you keep choosing the easy path instead of the right one. And that’s why I’m a former Republican. In summary, Rs: the answer is yes.
