If you look around and are informed then you can easily purchase drives that are designed for Nas use. I shucked three eight terabyte Western digital external hard drives and they were all WD reds, but because of the deal they were running they were $60 a piece cheaper inside of the shell than they were outside of the shell.

You are correct, but I hope we can all agree there is a special place in hell reserved for people who interfere with health workers and cause death in the process.

That's right on par with raping a nun, or a priest diddling a kid in my book.

I can move my fingertip joints without moving the rest of my finger.

I can also ear rumble, it is not tied to my blinking at all, but if I vibrate my eyes while my ears are rumbling they both move at the same ~60hz frequency.

It's called shucking and it happens a lot especially in the home server home lab community.

What happens when the heart just stops by the frames. Went through a breakup not too long ago, just feeling The vibes now.

That's a pretty standard issue with grid tied solar systems. You save a lot of money by not having batteries, but when the neighborhood goes down you go down with it.

Plus you don't want to be pumping electricity into a downed power system, you could actually end up hurting a line man who is working on the system.

However, and both of these issues can be resolved by adding in a generator and a whole house cut off system.

In a power outage scenario, all you would have to do is throw the crossover switch and crank the generator. The generator would produce enough energy to reactivate the solar system.

The first problem is solved by line sensing technology. If there is not power coming in and off of the switch then the inverter will not pump energy back into the system, at least on the ones that are not $12 cheap Chinese junk off of taobao.

And rather than suicide cords they generally have an IEC connector (standard rhombusy shaped computer power connector) on one end and a normal prong on the other.

But you are right that it is dangerous and not recommended to anyone, especially the people that are not smart enough to take the appropriate concerns and considerations into mind before using it.

That happens quite a bit in a lot of areas. It sounds stupid but your toaster does not care where the electricity it is using comes from.

As long as the sine waves are in sync with each other then you have nothing to worry about.

It's probably not standard in America because the technology is newer and the regulations haven't caught up.

I am out of the loop, what happened to duckduckgo?

Every once in awhile it crosses my mind that if I just gave up my morals I could make so much fucking money.

The difference between me being a middle-class American and me being filthy fucking rich is every day I wake up and I choose not to defraud every single person I possibly can of their money.

I feel like I should get a little thank you now and again, because I could be the greatest monster you've ever seen but instead I'm just a nobody and I don't think I get nearly enough appreciation for my service.

And you could also look at the real world. We have boost air.
