I'd have got 100%, but I misread the date on the first one.

Right? For someone who doesn't know about things and has never heard of people, he sure does never shut up about them.
solar PV → heat pump → water heater; direct, no A/C or intermediate components. Practical? Feasible?
But exceptionally, I’ve heard that a PV can directly power a compressor with no middleware.
I don' t think I've ever heard or read that about compressors. I also know that brownouts aren't good for them since they have to work harder by pulling more current to compensate for the reduced voltage. That causes them to run hotter. It's also not taking into account any controller electronics that may be in the mix which are also sensitive. Granted, this is all based on knowledge from refrigerators, but the components are basically the same.
However, I have read people running the electric heating elements in hot water heaters directly from PV, either directly or as a dump load. If I recall, the thing to watch out for with that is the thermostat; they're not made for DC and can fail to work properly. Not sure what the fix is for that (possibly replace it with one rated for a larger AC current, but I don't recall).
The electric elements are just "dumb" resistance loads and generally don't care what kind of power goes into them. Compressors are quite a bit more complex, so I'd be wary about feeding them anything but the "type" of power they expect.
Genuine question: what's the success rate of catching and prosecuting people who make these kinds of threats?
I'm guessing it's either nearly 100% or depressingly low but nowhere in between.
That's...not wrong. And I see where you're coming from.
But they'd end up spending 24/7 coverage just debunking that shit because it's coming out like a fire hose every time he's on camera or taking a shit (because what he craps out on social media also gets news coverage).
I can't tell you how much I'm looking forward to the day the news isn't dominated by this orange turd (except maybe coverage of his sentencing or something) Mid 2021 was kind of a preview of that, but once our 3 year election cycle kicked back in, there he was again all day, every day.
Maybe they could do a weekly Trump bullshit fact check wrap up instead or something?
Regardless, I agree with them not airing the live feed/coverage, but I can agree with you that the overall behavior should be highlighted in some way.
That's not total in the US, just how many this partnership is deploying.
Not saying we don't need to step the game up, but there are other investments doing this similtaneously as well, including federal money for additional EV charger deployments.
I won't necessarily say it's that.
There are two main crowds when it comes to Trump coverage:
- Why give airtime to those lies and nonsense?
- Why aren't you covering his lies and nonsense?
Literally no way to make both of those groups happy, lol.
When it's just him spouting off lies, conspiracies, and hate, I say give him as little coverage as possible. The people voting for him don't care or want that, and the "undecideds" at this point are either just attention-seekers or too ignorant for any additional coverage to get through their thick skulls.
The only people who don't know what Trump's about by now would have to have been cryogenically frozen or in a coma since 2014, and I don't think that's a large enough voting demographic to really worry about.
At the time of publication, the post had more than 2,700 likes.
Which were probably like 12 hillbillies and 2688 Russian bots.
Yeah, it is very ridiculous. When I check out at the grocery store, I don't think the cashier is an extra hard worker because they're standing. I just think corporate is a bunch of d-bags for pointlessly making them stand.
I refuse to use the self-checkouts because they treat you like a thief and are extremely frustrating. Will keep that rant to myself, but it's a doozy lol.
Among other reasons Aldi is pretty great, they let their cashiers sit.

How to Play
The rules for each round are below. Calculation and reporting of scores is on the honor system.
Rules for Round 1
Example of the Format
- You will need to find the connection between the 4 clues. Each clue is revealed by opening the spoiler tags in the post for each.
- You get one guess, and the goal is to use as few clues as possible.
- Clues are given out one at a time, and you should only reveal the next clue if you cannot make the connection with the clues given so far.
- Each additional clue reduces the points earned to the value indicated above it. e.g. if you get the answer after the third clue is revealed, you will receive only two points.
- The later clues are usually easier to reveal the connection with the last clue sometimes being obvious.
Rules for Round 2
- In this round, each set of four clues forms a sequence. Up to three clues can be revealed, and you are responsible for determining the last clue in the sequence.
- As before, clues are revealed one at a time, and the goal is to correctly identify the last item in the sequence using as few clues as possible.
- A bonus point is awarded for correctly identifying the connection between the items in the completed sequence .

Not sure how familiar Lemmy is with the game show Only Connect, but I'll try to simplify the rules and adapt them to the limitations of the medium here.
Example of the Format
How to Play
- You will need to find the connection between the 4 clues. The first clue is in the post image, and the remaining three are in spoilers below.
- You get one guess, and the goal is to use as few clues as possible.
- Clues are given out one at a time, and you should only reveal the next clue if you cannot make the connection with the clues given so far.
- Each additional clue reduces the points earned to the value indicated above it. e.g. if you get the answer after the third clue is revealed, you will receive only two points.
- The later clues are usually easier to reveal the connection with the last clue sometimes being obvious.
- You are on the honor system to report your score.
The first clue is in the post image and is worth 5 points if you can guess the connection with just that one.
Hopefully this post doesn't earn me a cease and desist from the BBC lol.

I mean....I'm pushing middle age and can't name one Taylor Swift song. If four songs were played, and 3 of them were Swift's, I'd still probably not be able to pick it out.
Nothing against her or the genre of music, just has never seemed like it would be my cup of tea.
