My room is the only room that suffers this fate because nobody else gets to see it, so no pressures keep me focused. Living room, kitchen and guest bathroom? Spotless.

This. I have a whole house battery system and make it a point to run off battery during peak hours.
It is a real and very common problem that gets no press because a lot of people work very hard to ensure that the line temps do not reach critical. That said, it only becomes a real problem during times of high demand like heat waves and cold snaps. Our infrastructure is absolute dog shit at the moment, and I think the fear is that if every home had one or two EVs charging overnight, then every night would be a high demand event.
We need to bring our infrastructure up to adequate.
The name you are looking for is Residential Time-of-Use. A lot of customers are not aware that their utility company offers Residential Time-of-Use rate plans. Some even offer multiple options, but many do not advertize it. If you are not subscribed to a Residential Time-of-Use plan, you are over paying.
1000% I get to see some of the budgets for projects we are involved in and they are pathetic (IMO) given the importance of what we do.
I think there is a big misunderstanding here. The power grid suffers from a distribution problem not a production problem. The concern with households with EVs is getting the power from the power plants to the houses. During high demand, the powerlines overheat. It’s a delicate power regulation dance to keep the flow at maximum capacity without having fully shutdown any power routes in order to cool. If you do not, you will lose the lines which means a significant downtime for that path.
Datacenters are getting direct lines from the production sites. I believe that for some datacenters, retired nuclear power plants are being spun up in order to serve them exclusively.
SOURCE: Grid management is one of the things my firm specializes in.
EDIT: Believe it or not, households with solar panels that feed back into the grid can be a problem sometimes because the unexpected capacity in the lines can also overheat the lines and hampers the ability of the utility company to regulate lune temps. If you are doing solar, consider adding battery banks to catch the excess.


Enforced by who? They can literally ignore subpoenas without consequences.


Pro-gun + Kleptocracy is an unwise mix.



Yeah, I’m jaded and cynical. Can you blame me?


I agree. Removing that perk by making them all unisex is another thing that will make it a miserable experience for all. The idea is for it to be horrible enough for the TERFs to back off and the laws to change.


Make all WC unisex. No physical change other than signage. Will this fix the problem? No, it will make.a royal fucking mess of it all and hopefully press politicians to reverse their trans phobic laws.

It is always a con, a grift, a scam, fraud, or blatant corruption from the GOP and the daughterfucker in chief.


…and accusing her of attempting to embarrass India on the global stage.
Under Modi, India doesn’t need help being embarrassed on the global stage.


Second, and by all account Luz Long was a standup guy.
Long was the first to congratulate Owens, embracing the African-American in front of Adolf Hitler. Owens was later the best man at the wedding of Long’s son.
Don’t let out of context photos dictate the narrative and warp your views.
My wife doesn’t understand how i can think with EDM on headphones, but it really does work.
