The Future of EV Charging is Bidirectional, If You Can Afford It
  • It makes sense that there would be some pretty hefty electrical system upgrades to do bidirectional charging.

    You can power the grid with solar panels that sells excess back but that’s not free.

    You could put in a generator for backup in a power outage. That’s not free either.

    In theory you could put in a battery pack and charge it at night when the rates are cheaper and then power your home in the day. Business are already doing this. It’s just a cost benefit analysis.

  • Does anyone have an EV only meter with DTE?

    I read that DTE offers an EV rate with a dedicated meter. If you go this route are you able to view usage on the second meter in the DTE insight app?

    Thanks!

    What is the difference between album of the year and record of the year?
  • It’s basically single of the year and album of the year.

    From Wikipedia:

    Record of the Year is awarded for a single or for one track from an album. This award goes to the performing artist, the producer, recording engineer and/or mixer for that song. In this sense, "record" means a particular recorded song, not its composition or an album of songs.

    Song of the Year is also awarded for a single or individual track, but the recipient of this award is the songwriter who actually wrote the lyrics and/or melodies to the song. "Song" in this context means the song as composed, not its recording.

    Album of the Year is awarded for a whole album, and the award is presented to the artist, songwriter, producer, recording engineer, and mastering engineer for that album. In this context, "album" means a recorded collection of songs (a multi-track LP, CD, or download package), not the individual songs or their compositions.

  • New Ecobee Video Doorbell does NOT support HKSV
  • Mine doesn’t always reconnect to WiFi but has always booted up after a power outage. It could use some improvement to retry WiFi connection after some time. Seems on my setup that the ecobee boots faster than my Orbi router.

  • Thoughts on watchOS 10
  • Overall I think it the visual refresh throughout the is very nice.

    I have 2 major gripes:

    I really like being able to quickly swipe around to different watch faces. This should be brought back with a control center toggle. So those who get lots of accidental swipes can lock it down. Sometimes I would get them too but not as frustrating as the loss of quick swipe for me.

    Second, the changes implemented as a result of widgets. Getting to widgets is just a simple swipe up! Oh also just a simple scroll up with the crown! Why does this need two different ways to access from the watch face? This has resulted in loss of old function on the side button. It also has resulted in loss of function with the Digital Crown: for example on the metropolitan face you could play with the height of the numbers with the crown.

    How has everyone trained their ears to transcribe songs?

    Currently I am separating songs with Demucs and then using anthem score to help identify notes when I am screwing it up.

    I am just curious what others are doing.

    Project Grape Bass Continues

    A small collage of the clear coat work. I sanded down the wrinkles. 2 light coats of color a few days later followed by 6 light coats of clear. Now I wait a while for this to cure and then I’ll polish it.

    It’s my first time doing something like this. I have a had a few issues with the clear coat wrinkling over time. Just going to sand it back re-color coat and try to clear again. Hope this is interesting for this community!
