I've actually been shocked by how little production drops during winter. For example, we Feb & March, our coldest months this year, we produced 1.75 MWh/month, which actually beats every summer month before it, and is only beaten by this August, which was our highest producing month ever at 2.04MWh. Most summer months before that were closer to 1.5. Only thing I need to do is clear the panels after it snows.
App wise I recommend just using the progressive web app (install website as app). It works very well, and you always get the latest updates.
For the server, find one that targets one of your interests.
Oil demand deceleration is up in country where demand for non battery vehicles is down. China.
Yes, it's the embarrassment that's really important here. 🙄
New plan: become an elite athlete, take advantage of free healthcare every 4 years. It's honestly a better plan than my current one, which is to pay 16k every year for healthcare, only to be too scared of extra fees to use it.
I was thinking more of an open API of how the game interacts with multiplayer services, so that in theory anyone could setup a server, or server services. In practice I completely agree with you though. Nobody wants to do the whole "Oh wait, you're on that server? I have an account with that other server" thing. Steam, or some other party, would just become the defacto place.
Oh, it would be super fun if you're into the game, as long as it doesn't become a job, which it might.
I could see this leading to standardizing and outsourcing multiplayer services, which would be interesting.
That being said, before that happens, as a developer I'd be like: here's a zip file with all of our proprietary stuff ripped out. Have fun spending the next few months getting it to work well. Congratulations, you're now supporting a game that did poorly enough for us to drop it.
But seriously, go sign it. Long term it should be a good thing.
That's such a capitalist way of thinking. "The daycare down the street is never going to compete with ABC Baby Slaughter as long as their rates are higher!"
Non EV owners can't grok how convenient home charging is, and the reality that station charging is a general rarity.
I actually don't think it is a deal breaker. How many 300+mi road trips does a person take? So what if it takes longer a few days out of the year?
And you can always prioritize fast charging when shopping EVs, if that's important. We knew full well we weren't getting the fastest charging EV when we bought ours. But, like I said, it was fine on our big trip, and really we didn't stop more often than we usually do, even if our stops were a bit linger, and it didn't have a negative impact.
EV owner in the US with home charger. It's the best. The convenience of never having to go to a gas station is huge. I was so worried about range and charging speed before I got the car, but it's all bullshit. The reality is that I wake up in the morning and I'm ready to go wherever I want to go. I take a few longer trips a year, and I'm always able to find a charging station along the way. The apps make it pretty easy to know where to go. I have a CCS plug, and we're supposed to get the Tesla adapter sometime this year. But even without it, we just took an 800 mile road trip, and there's a CCS fast charging station at least every 80 miles, so it's not like we were ever in danger of not making it. The only thing I don't like about the CCS plug is that they're so damn heavy. The Tesla ones are supposed to be nicer, so there's that to look forward to.
Yea, that sounds like it sucked. Glad it didn't happen to me.
Oh man, I loved my Surface Pro 3. I used it as my main device for home and work for years. Not invalidating your experience... I've used devices that others thought were great that I thought were garbage.
Is there anyone who likes reading code more than writing it?

The demo is short, but it plays well on deck.
This looks so good. Hope there's a demo
Tactical beach wizard. Wish it were multi player, but enjoyed it a lot either way.
"WE got you more Time!" One of the worst things to hear. You've already blown through the budget with all the delays and changes. And you have to pick up a few additional shots from that studio they hired on the very cheap, because they don't match the rest of the film.
OK, I finally took the plunge on Baldur's Gate 3, and, coming from playing several hundreds of hours of Solasta recently, the first thing I noticed is the lack of a combat grid.
Going back a bit further, my son and I spent a ridiculous amount of time playing Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle. We were super pumped for the sequel, but when it finally came out, it kind of fell flat for both of us. Whether or not it's down to this, I don't know, but they also removed the grid.
That game, of course, was an XCom-like. XCom used a grid, but a more recent Firaxis game, Marvel's Midnight Suns, got rid of the grid as well.
To me, all these gridless iterations of classic strategy games just aren't as engaging. I guess they're going for a more immersive rpg type of feel? But to me it seems to sacrifice the strategy aspect, and ultimately, judging based on my hours played, that always ends up being too great a sacrifice. My play time on Marvel's Midnight Suns is less than 10% of Xcom 2, and the same is true for Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope.
I'm sure BG3 is a great game, and I'm sure I'll enjoy the campaign, but so far it's not giving me the 'feels'.
Do you miss grids? Or did they only slow you down?

Are your squash plants suddenly struggling? It could be the work of a squash vine borer. Here are tips on how to identify, control, and get rid of the squash vine borer!
After having a fantastic squash harvest 2 years ago, last year kind of sucked, and we never figured out why. This year things started great, but then started going south, with plants yellowing and squash wilting. Well apparently there's these asshole moths who lay eggs on the stem, which then produce these little effers that bore into the stem itself and eat the plant from the inside. Cutting into the stems I was able to find and remove a bunch of them. Cutting the stems didn't feel great... I tried to cut along the grain, but had to pretty much cut a chunk out of every plant just so I could even see inside and prod enough to find the squiggly things.
Hoping the plants survive and thrive 🤞. Apparently next year I should get a syringe and inject them with something called BT. I had no idea raising squash required a medical degree 🩺
He gets very excited when we feed him
