By old you mean out less than a year right?

I'm American.

Except of course the trees. :p

Well, not exactly, but I think I need to hop back into my last field where they're not all in Asia.

No, I guess I was too vague and not to the point. I work for a Chinese company and the nicest way to say it is that it's a total mess. Hopefully another FAE gig.

No, I'm not.

So I've begun looking for another job. I never should have taken the one I'm at now. I had ample warning from seeing first hand how similar companies based out of that geographic region operated, but I believed the spin they were selling and figured they must have been the exception rather...

Where/how did you get that impression?

But both are not genuine and should be avoided.

Well, those two would be the same thing.

Just buy a Chinese panel with US made Sunpower cells. That should solve the problem, unless they've made knockoff Sunpower cells. The would be difficult as I understand it since most cell makers can't hit the efficiency Sunpower has.

That's THE Cloud to you Mr.

In most countries the police and gov't corruption is well known and understood. The typical US police department and gov't makes the overseas folks look like pikers in terms of corruption, but here they pretend to be as clean and pure as the wind driven snow.

They couldn't explain it when I questioned them. Basically blamed it on a glitch in the matrix.

They all were part of the same shipment. I'm on the phone yelling at them now. I'm in a rare mood today... :cursin:

UPS is dumber than a sack of rocks. If you're getting multiple packages delivered in a single day they explicitly tell you on their website that if you authorize the release of any package being delivered that day they will leave them all. After you authorize the release of any of them they...

I'm using ISP DNS servers on both ends. Now it's working from home. The trace route now completes the same way at home as it did from work earlier. 11 44 ms 45 ms 44 ms nyk-b2-link.telia.net [62.115.134.108] 12 44 ms 42 ms 47 ms linode-ic-318540-nyk-b2.c.telia.net...

Getting it to work with Pale Moon was little more involved since the official builds of Greasemonkey don't work with it, but I got it working. Thanks! Admittedly it wasn't a huge problem for me since my use of NoScript keeps sites from running wild.

Of course greasemonkey doesn't work with Pale Moon. Edit: Found builds that do here: https://github.com/janekptacijarabaci/greasemonkey/releases

So as of this morning I can't access SF from home. I can from work. They both resolve to the same IP, 45.33.67.65. The server SF is on doesn't respond to the last hop from my home IP. Work: ... 6 24 ms 19 ms 26 ms be-33668-cr02.350ecermak.il.ibone.comcast.net [68.86.90.45] 7...

I just don't answer the phone. Voicemail exists for a reason.

No, that's in the other cloud.

Does it bother when people talk about saving something to "THE" server instead of using the server's name too? :bstd:

If it costs 2x to by something with the "right warranties" you might as well get the cheap one for half the cost. If it breaks you can buy a complete 2nd one, and odds are technology will make the 2nd one cheaper and better by the time it's necessary. I mean what are the odds of having 20...

That depends on the light and the battery. In theory IMR cells are supposed to have safer chemistry, but it seems to have turned more into a generic name for high current cells that may or may not have safer chemistry.

:scratch: It looks to be about 4x cost of the parts based on my quick research.

The Buick Envision that Clocker worked on is the first US sold GM car made in China. Reportedly, one of the CT6 variants is going to be made in China also. GM sells vehicles in the US that were made in in the US, Europe, Canada, Mexico, Korea, Australia, and now China.

Well, GM is building cars in China and exporting them to the US now. I'm sure it's only going to proliferate.

I'm pretty sure it's not. :bomb:

All the auto companies figured out that China was a better market to invest in than Australia.

So are the panels and the inverter gold plated or something? For what you got that seems really expensive.

So it's perfect for viewing from ~12" away. That seems pretty typical for the average 27" monitor user. :rofl:

With a tablespoon.

Permission from whom? Did you get any sort of battery bank? Edit: Also, you have 5.2kW of panels, but only a 3.6kW inverter? What's the logic there?

You got those T-1s back up yet? :poke:

Like locks on your car and house doors? What an inconvenience! :owneddnce:

It's an ePeen enlargement tool.

Why would you want to eat a single Altoid, let along a whole can?

I know, the slight inconvenience of a much safer transaction is just too much to bear.

I drink water.

Were you riding a rollercoaster?

Wait, they're still in the "beta" phase. You'll get burned if you buy one now. There are still several HDR formats the current sets don't support. HDMI 2.1 is around the corner.

I was going to post this, but I see Lunar beat me to it. Even a standard sRGB display generally has wider color gamut than a typical print.

I only have a non cable card flavor, but I use it OTA, not on cable. I found using it on cable problematic since the cable company likes to move "channels" around on the RF channel they use. Maybe the cablecard rectifies that issue.

Do you mind sharing what you paid for your 6kW system and what all you got for that money (panels, installation, batteries, charge controller, etc)?

I have one of those enclosures with an 500GB 850 Evo in it. It performance advertised. Did with an 128 and 256 850 Pro also.

I would presume so. I saw commercials for it on TV.

Microsoft got me again today. This time with the anniversary update. No warnings. No prompts. I walked away for a few minutes and when I came back it was installing.

If you click the little round dot in front of the thread it will take you to the first unread post, but I guess that's not what you're asking for.

I finally watched my Furious 7 Blu-ray last night. It was entertaining, but pretty much over the top in every possible way. It was like they turned all the dials to 11 Michael Bay style, but it was still entertaining. I kept expecting them to kill off Paul Walker's character, Brian, but they...
