Time until full charge isnt really a relevant metric for utility storage, you want larger storage, which would increase full charge time. Rate of charge is what matters.
I wanna coin the term Mississippi self-awareness. I’ve grown up in rural Mississippi, and I credit it for my extremely left leaning political stances. Im surrounded by the awfulness of conservative mindsets. I hear coworkers complaining about fast food workers making too much money, with the knowledge that Mississippi has the highest rate of poverty in the country, and Im seeing why firsthand. The awful state of health, and the constantly espoused home remedies and junk medical advice that their diabetic mama swore by. So much talk about kids not getting hit enough nowadays. The gun worship, the truck worship, the Jesus worship despite not practicing a word of his teachings, yet no one here seems to be aware of the results of all these awful ideas.
a threat to US auto industry? You promise? Cus US auto industry is a climate killing powerhouse of gas guzzling SUV’s. Any politicians wanting to pretend to be capitalist, or to be in favor of the environment, let me buy this car.

It’s a very weak bill, only kicks in at over 50 homes purchased, is not retroactive so existing damage to the market is unaffected, and only affects taxes on interest. Plus a lot of other restrictions to make sure this doesnt affect rental properties at all. Frankly I think this bill is meant to make more affordable property for landlords than anything.
It was a bizarre thing. Energy drinks are at least marketed as having extreme amounts of caffeine, but this has more, is sold at a bread store, and the caffeine is intentionally downplayed.
Republicans are just making things up entirely and too many people are humoring them. Impeachment isnt for airing grievances against job performance, its for crimes. This was never legitimate.
As someone living for decades in rural Mississippi, Rural conservatives are willing to hurt themselves if it means hurting others. They fight against raises for themselves so the “lazy” people dont get what they dont deserve. They fight against healthcare subsidies for the poor, subsidies that they themselves would qualify for, because they want revenge on “welfare queens”. They are horrid people that go to church every sunday to hear teachings against all of the shit they do.
Alice Pawley, a professor of engineering education at Purdue University, said that many faculty members in Indiana were angered by the new restrictions, and that “nobody trusts that this is actually going to be fairly applied.” Many felt discouraged about their job security, believing it would be at the mercy of trustees who...
