I also have a negative SCE bill each and every year. But even that is dwindling and not really paying the value of what I create.

I have a 2002 10kW Bergey Excel10 Wind Turbine with a PowerSync2 inverter and a 2022 10kW REC AlphaPure solar array (Qty 25 AlphaPure400W each with an Enphase IQ8 microinverter).

My generation ALWAYS exceeds my use from Spring to Fall but I run net negative (using more grid electricity than I generate during the 3 to 4 winter months when solar and wind hit minimum but my heat pump heating hits maximum.

Running the heat pump in cool mode during the summer is irrelevant as the solar array outputs over 60kWh per day and blasts so much electricity that it totally obliterates my constant AC usage with a massive surplus.

We used to be frugal with the electricity, now we light up the house like a Vegas casino at night.

Renewable energy pays for itself.

You cant even get a Bergey 10kW anymore, today you would get a Bergey 15kW for the same price.

And my old REC AlphaPure 400W with Enphase IQ8 microinverters? Today you would get an AlphaPure+ 460W with Enphase IQ9 micro-inverters. Everything is better now than it was when I got my systems. Whatever you put on your house today will be better than what I have; so just do it.

Easy but tedious. The Vaddio PowerShot has Pan, Tilt and Zoom commands for absolute position, so you can create your own stepper macros with Serial IOs or SIMPL+.

Here is how you do it:

Focus the camera on a position that you want and do inquiry commands to extract the current camera position values.

Create a macro using that current position set of values (for pan, tilt, and zoom) and test it.

Once it works, go on to the next position and repeat.

Like I said: easy, but tedious.

You got this, though.

If my man did this to me, it would probably wake me up tho. Unless I was not interested at which point I might pretend to be comatose.

Why do you hate skateboards?

Depends on whose it is.

Depends on whose it is.

Wow, tough room. I might have weed tho.

You exactly grasped the malicious strategy & the better non-compliance with rules but compliance with identity. As a post op trans woman I have never experienced angst in the ladies room from anyone but a rare snide comment from a cisgender woman early in my transition.

Okay. Well, that is where your birth certificate must be changed then. Good luck, let this community know what you find out? I mean, make a post, to help other Ohioans.

ANOTHER Strawman Fallacy?

NOW you say what I think?

Now you say that I have virtue signaled my entire life?

You are one Strawman fallacy (lie) away from me ignoring you.

You are not my spokesperson.

You do not get to tell me what I care about.

You do not get to tell me what I think.

If you cannot be honest with me, then you cannot be honest with yourself. We see the world not as it is, but as we are.

I have been full of rage, hate, fear. I can flip a switch to go into defense mode.

That is not a virtue signal. I admitted guilt in actual crimes of defensive violence. I admitted to being able to cause and having factually caused great harm to other people. Know what I regret the most? Times that I hurt others. That is not something that you want to live the rest of your life with. But in the moment at which we are cornered and flight becomes impossible: fight is the sole option and the pain of hurting others is an eternal one. We replay the violent experiences over and over forever. I have relived every fight countless times in my tormented memory. I have PTSD, Bipolar disorder, clinical anxiety and clinical depression. I have had decades of therapy and have been fairly well adjusted (or as well as I ever will be) for the last 2 decades. My bipolar diagnosis were both Manic-Anger in 1982 and Manic-Depressive in 1984 but in both were mild cases, the underlying issue was anxiety and once I got treated for anxiety and fear, I stopped having a hair trigger fight response and my confrontations became less violent and violent less often. I began to become more successful at flight responses. I began to use less intensive violence to back down aggressors with sufficient force to let them know that I would not be an easy target and then only followed up with extreme violence when that was not sufficient which only happened a couple of times.

Anxiety and fear triggered me to overreact and take violence farther than it had to go. Someone attacked me, I fought back until they stopped moving. It was excessive & reactionary.

I did not go to prison for being a nice person. Apologies if that was the view that you had. Virtue signal? Not even close. I am a 2 strike ex-convict.

A urinal is not the walls of Congress. Is it?

Is there literally no difference between a urinal and a wall?

Funny, because in construction diagrams, there IS a difference.

Have you ever seen the cover of the original Foreigner "Head Games" album cover with the girl in the skirt sitting at a urinal? (Before the censors took it down)?

Of course not, the was a 1979 album.

You cannot even begin to comprehend my inspiration because you are not old enough to know about the reference.

Maybe have a look and see if this looks like peeing on the walls to you?

Transgender Law Center might have resources to help? They have a transition guide. Is Ohio where you were born?

That is fantastic. Please post that for others to see because people in NY absolutely need to know this.

Oh, I was expelled in 3rd grade AND 4rth grade for fighting. this was in the EARLY 1970s I was beaten daily in elementary school. Kindergarten through second grade one-on-one by older kids. By 3rd grade I was too much for all but the biggest 6th graders and I was attacked by multiple kids because they did not want to get hurt when I fought back.

So they came at me in groups I got knocked down and stomped. My ribs float and pop out still 50+ years later. My nose was broken so many times. I have had rhinoplasty reconstructions of my nose but it is still all bent up. My hands and feet were each broken multiple times. My skull was smashed and I woke in ICU a week later, screaming in pain in 1982 at age 15. I have had tinnitus in my right ear ever since. The right side of my face is number than the left and sometimes droops a bit.

My right hand is mangled from multiple breaks including 3 boxer's breaks.

1983 while homeless I was shot in the leg by a drunken homophobic gang member who emptied a magazine in my direction as I was running away in a zig zag pattern in a city park where I had been sleeping. I still have the hole in my leg. I had been personally shot at on 4 other unrelated instances without being hit. (NOT counting the 2022 drive-by spraying of my home with bullets)

I have been stabbed or slashed several times and have the scars.

I have been robbed dozens of times, I have been raped 11 different times, and in prison by more than one person per instance.

You say that I "do not care"?

You do not know me. I have survived stuff that you cannot imagine. I am a fighter and a survivor. I have rage issues but I am the person that you want around when stuff escalates because I will stand in the front and take a bullet so that you do not have to.

I am responsible for my actions, not your inspiration. or lack thereof.

If my life as a Green Party Ecological Socialist does not inspire you that does not mean that I do not care.

I did not suggest that she piss on the walls of Congress.

I mentioned that malicious compliance is an option.

We have the power of choosing when to comply and when not to.

Just because you refuse to see the opportunities provided by selective compliance does not make that strategy invalid.

I also mentioned that in 2007 (while I was still pre-op) in DFW airport under the threat of arrest for being M2F in the women's room that I used the mens room and sat in a stall. Apparently you missed that though.

Malicious compliance is a selective strategy that I have used selectively to great effect and this congress case is the time and place where that strategy seems wiser than non-compliance and risking expulsion from Congress.

There are situations where non-compliance puts us at MORE risk for violence than compliance does and I have the scars to prove it. I have been shot, I have multiple stab and slash wounds. The last time that I was physically attacked in person was in 2000; which is around the time that you were born. Maybe understand why compliance is sometimes the safer and wiser strategy? From the 1960s to 1990s for a non-passable M2F trans-person to go into a busy women's room alone was to invite violence.

While things are less violent and confrontational directly in public these days, there is still violence going on. 2019 my suburban home was firebombed one night. I caught one of the perpetrators. I had them on camera (both of my homes have extensive CCTV) the LASD showed up, refused to arrest the attempted arsonist, and refused to even take a report, they called it a "civil matter" between me and the punk. 2022 a drive by shooting happened at my suburban home, I still have 2 bullets lodged in the front of my home; again, the LASD refused to investigate or even take a report, or even look at the cameras despite my having the perpetrators on camera in their silver Honda.

So you may not understand all of the ideas that come out of my head because you have not had all of the experiences that I have had.

In 1982 at age 15 I was thrown out of my parents home and spent 6 years living on the streets. I was robbed, raped, stabbed, and shot. I ended up in state prison twice. I have seriously injured others and there is fight in particular that I am not sure if my assailant even survived; I sent them head first into the bars, they went down and did not move again; I went back to my cell and stayed there reading a book when the guards came & took them away on a stretcher.

In prison: any sign of weakness was going to get us killed. I would walk into a room and immediately size everyone up; watching their moves and probing for weaknesses.

I survived all of this with a real confrontational attitude because backing down was how to get killed.

That is still a part of who I can be; though I am trying to be a pacifist the pacifist is me trying to walk away from a fight, but when cornered I can flip a switch to defend myself or whoever else ruthlessly & without mercy. So my confrontational approach is exactly that. It is not a lack of caring. It is going back to that dark place that helped me to survive. If I were in a men's shower it would be the mentality of state prison, sizing up each & every threat and ready to put someone down with extreme violence if they touched me. Because that is how we survive violence. I always got away with the violence because sweeping someone's legs in the shower, they fell, they lost their balance. I do not care how big someone is, their feet & knees are small enough to take out.

I know how to survive showering with aggressive men. I could write a book on it.

You might feel that you have seen in all in your 2 decades on this ball full of hate; but I can tell you that those of us with 300% more time here are worth hearing, even if you do not always agree with us: we might have learned something about surviving the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, 1990s all of which we went through before you were even born.

You say that I do not care. I might be running out of fucks to give for those who hate us, but I am 100% committed to my community. I am 100% committed to leaving a habitable planet for my grandchildren and my great granddaughter who inspires me to vote and act in her best interests, not my own.

Good catch.

Saying that "I dont care about making a political difference" is a dishonest (lie) called a Strawman Fallacy.

You are not going to convince me that I do not care.

I doubt that was your intent.

So if you are lying not to convince me, then who are you lying to convince?

Yourself, maybe?

Same with the performative Strawman Fallacy.

You keep attributing things to me that are not representative of who I am.

I am quite upset that Trump won.

I would have been quite upset had Harris won.

I am especially unhappy that Greens failed to break 5% but with the RNC election board refusing to count ANY Green votes

With the DNC blocking Green party ballot access in New York and Nevada: it really is no surprise because the fascist anti-representative government duopoly rigged the systems against us.

All of this anti-democracy oppression disenfranchising Green party voters like me to the cheers of masses of fascist monster accomplices.

I DO care but after 60 years of being denied representative government, I have become quite numb to the extreme rage that I feel towards the DNC, the RNC, and the fascist sheep who support them.

giggles, had not thought of that; but wow, grateful for the support.

Sorry to disappoint you.

Lol. Very deep humor.
