  • Learning to not ask questions, feeling like a pleb when everyone else is a guru, and having RTFM yelled at you is part of the Linux experience. What else do you expect me to do when someone asks me a question? Provide that new user with a level headed answer that concisely addresses their problem in-order to encourage them to join the Linux community and help it to grow? Are you even listening to yourself right now, you sound crazy.







  • I don’t have solar panels but I’ll try to answer your questions. Let’s start with why you may be charged for supplying electricity to the grid.

    The Electrical grid is amazing, we can transfer power from one place to another with ease because of it, although it has several limitations. One limitation is that for the most part electricy that is generated must be immediately used or else it decay into heat. The more electricity generated the more heat is produced, and unused electricity becomes extra heat. The components on the grid are only designed to operate within certain limits. If the grid is already supplying more power than it needs and then someone starts to supply even more electricity the grid will be in trouble, components will wear out faster or break. So extra electricity that can’t be stored in just as bad as not enough. That cost is shared between grid suppliers in some areas resulting in a cost for supplying electricity.

    Also solar panels have switches that regulate the electricity they provide to the grid and it’s those switches which wear out and break. Solar panels don’t need much maintenance or repair but the supporting circuits do.

    The weirdest thing is it didn’t seem to start out that way. I remember the first season actually having strong jokes. I specifically remember one about spherical chickens that was truely hilarious because it was a nerd joke on a prime time tv show. Then came season two, with it the show tried to become more relatable to the ‘average viewer’ and it was just bullying on TV.
