@Maude OMG cuteness overload

LOL--went to replace my failed garbage disposal this morning, and then remembered there's an allen wrench thing that came with the old one that lets you manually turn the mechanism.

10 seconds doing that and the old one coughed up a catfood can lid & started working again.

Now I have a disposal to return to Lowes...

I'm pretty sure 'grid usage' refers to what I'm drawing out of the grid--that's what I'm going to be billed for by the power co. If that's a negative number, it means I'm exporting power to the grid--that's what makes my power meter "run backwards".

If that's right, I don't think those negative blue bars should ever be longer than the corresponding positive orange bars.

But I have inquired w/my solar contractor & hopefully they'll explain or fix.

@Route10 eh, you can knock 4 of these out w/a single (if tiring) day in NYC

@insomniacviolin it's a target-rich environment

@gshevlin yeah, she jumped the shark for me yesterday. Anybody referring to pro-palestinian rights protesters as 'pro-hamas' or 'anti-semitic' is on thin ice with me...

Fucking Gorsuch with his "we're deciding this for the ages" crap. Get over yourself dude--you're deciding this for however long it takes us to #RebalanceSCOTUS. Was Roe decided "for the ages"?

@Cecepax goddamn

@InUnfunky makes me ashamed to be an American

ooh--also very unlikely to be generating anything at 1am.

Hmmm--pretty sure I'm not exporting more energy than I'm producing. Something's wacky here
