4 doctors… I am glad you did not give up. What did the (dumb) neurologist say? “Well, after X years of never having a migraine, ever, you just got your first one! Try this cocktail of drugs.” I heard that once when my wife had a blocked carotid artery which was the source of her headache. I have met a single, smart neurologist, but I consider that the exception.

My first thought, after reading your post, is "who cares that you don't care?" My second was, "If you don't care, why did you waste time posting about it?" :laugh:

The great thing about solar is that you just sort of forget about it. With the system being 11 years old, I don't often think about it. My system is not large enough to power all my house, so it just generally lowers my bill each month based on sunlight. Instead of worrying about battery power, I just push excess power to the grid and get a credit against power I'm using later. Per the battery, my basic math says the systems can't come close to paying for themselves. If you decide on a battery, its for the backup, not a financial decision. Best I can tell, the Tesla Powerwall costs $10,500 USD installed. It can hold 14 Kwh of electricity. My rates are approximately $0.10 per Kwh. Assuming I could completely charge/discharge the battery each day, I could save (assuming I didn't get credit for the power pushed to the grid) $1.40 per day. 10,500 / 1.4 = 7,500 days to break even. So about 20.5 years of perfect charge discharge each day. I doubt it would last that long at full charge/discharge. This would require a significant power price difference, so I'll keep being grid tied :) [One Year of Solar Power – Snorkie](https://snorkie.com/one-year-of-solar-power/) Hogan

I've been binging ST:NG for the last week or so, and just watched that episode. :cool::thumbsup: Software Zen: delete this;

It's unlikely you'll be able to upgrade the SSD or the RAM. Depending on the model the machine might be glued together or the RAM soldered to the motherboard.

We got the latest and greatest one (yeah, sure). I think it went stupider with time. For the first time, I would really suggest: 1. Clean up the floor for wires and cables and toys (if you got kids). Make sure there are no crayons lying around. They get stuck and color the whole floor. 2. Do a mapping run a couple of times so it learns where things are 3. Do not walk into its path. It gets scared and behaves weird. Cleaning wise, since it is "D" shaped, it is better than circular ones. But I have also seen, sometimes it misses some parts. I found selecting zones* for cleaning better than selecting rooms. *You can create zones in a room like counter, dining table, carpet, whatever, and that is better cleaned that simply selecting kitchen.

IS this going to happen every day????? If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.

The terminology was not changed as far as I know. Maybe you're talking to a manager I knew who used to call floppy disks "flippy flop" disks. :rolleyes:

The UK has more than a few crazy laws: English law prohibits MPs from wearing armor inside the Houses of Parliament.

I wish I found this https://papernow.org website earlier! This would have saved me so many nerves and tears. After having purchased several papers I used them as a reference for my other projects and you know what? Some of them were accepted from the first try!

It occurred to me … Could you have a grand daughter that is not your granddaughter?

You don't sound biased at all. You do sound pretty racist though. :-D

Similarly, some years back KFC was advertising that their chicken parts were now something like a third larger than previously... which I took to mean that they were buying larger, older, tougher chickens and trying to make them sound more desirable.
