Don’t want to harsh your buzz, but I have a patch of thyme that’s 6 feet by 3 feet and several years old only 10 feet or so from a plum tree and a rose bush that nevertheless get hammered hard by Japanese beetles every year.

Invest in a sprayer and some neem oil.

The communities tab now gives a dropdown menu that appears to be correct.

I clicked on the “Communities” drop down and got a site wide error.

The very first page I tried going to off that landing page errored out.

A year ago I was very proud of myself for having eradicated the chocolate mint I planted a decade ago.

This year I have discovered new chocolate mint in the yard, far from where it was.

How do you tag an account?

Maybe the client I’m using doesn’t support that.

Because the big money is always trying to find the weakest link?

Gotta be contrarian here and say: using floorplans as your graphic frame for controls is very inefficient. And not very good graphical design.

Don’t even have to ask that much. “I support the working class over billionaires” would have done it.

Conversely, the average FOSS programmer has no idea how to either design for simplicity or document for the novice.

Just from the summary, I’m nearly certain this would be better as a web article.

A sleepy white hound dog with her chin on the photographer's lap.

 

Pretty much the title. I’ve got an old (circa 2012) MacBook Pro with no screen that’s running Ubuntu, but since day one of the install it has never recognized the touchpad. I’ve been using it with an external mouse, which works, but it’s much less convenient and elegant than if I had even basic touchpad use.

Any ideas on how I might make this work?

 

I think I've done my research, but damn if I can find what I'm looking for in the US. Even talked to my installer, who had nothing.

From what I can tell, my sole option for V2H, using the vehicle's batteries to back up the house, is the Ford Lightning. Maybe the Mach-E?

In fact, what I'd actually like is a CAR. Not a crossover, not a SUV. An actual CAR.

  • The Lightning is WAAAY too much "car" for me.
  • Best I can tell, Polestar is only "testing" V2anything.
  • Kia/Hyundai only has V2L.
  • Volkswagen ID4? I'm unclear.
  • Mini has nothing.
  • Leaf has something, but leaf is too little for being useful in terms of KwH.

Again, I'm in the US. And I already have an Enphase solar install, so I can't totally switch to some other sort of turnkey soup to nuts solution. I don't have batteries for the house, and want a vehicle that can be that as well as a mode of transport.

I'm also not an electrical engineer, so what that guy in this forum who built his own rack of components to make V2H work with his Ioniq is not something I can do.

Any help?
