Participant[quote=Rich Toscano][quote=spdrun] one doesn’t need to be connected to the Intarwebz 24/7/365[/quote]
That, sir, is where we disagree![/quote]
Even my 70+ years old relatives disagree with his statement. So, he must be at least 80+ :-D.ParticipantWhat is Aleppo? = Overblown nonsense.
Participant[quote=spdrun]You can get a barebones unlimited plan from a MVNO for very cheap, like $20/mo. You don’t fit the tablet in your jeans pocket — one doesn’t need to be connected to the Intarwebz 24/7/365.
I barely use my phone for anything necessary other than calling and texting. For any work or interaction with the Internet, my small laptop is much more comfy.[/quote]Ok… I’ll get off your lawn now.
ParticipantHow do you fit a tablet in your jeans pocket? Why would you pay more to have service for 2 devices?
Participant[quote=Rich Toscano]spdisms
OP: Can anyone recommend a smartphone?
spdrun: You don’t need a smart phone; carry flags for semaphore and build your own mainframe from chicken bones and discarded Atari 2600 parts. NEXT!OP: How much do you typically pay a gardener?
spdrun: You don’t need a gardener; grow your own topiary maze and painstakingly, over the course of many years, train an army of voles to maintain it. NEXT!OP: What’s everyone’s favorite pasta recipe?
spdrun: Only chumps eat solid food; you should become a being of pure energy and feed on sound waves. NEXT!OP: Is this a good time to buy a house?
spdrun: If you live in a house you are an idiot. You should live in your car, which, if it’s not a 1984 Datsun 200SX, you are also an idiot. BOOM! MIC DROP, SMOKE BOMB, EXIT STAGE RIGHT![/quote]
Best post EVER :-D. Don’t forget the 200SX HAS to be manual, else it’s a POS.ParticipantMy guess is w/in 5% of asking price. This is the only 3000 sq-ft house in MM AFAIK that’s fully renovated (essentially a new house). So, all it takes is one person who want to buy it. This is atypical to the area, so, I don’t think it’s telling whether it’s bubble or not. All you need is one person/family who want to live near work, work in tech around Mira Mesa, and want a new 3000 sq-ft house. Your options are pretty limited if those are your criteria. To give it some perspective, this 2100 sq-ft house closed at $785k, http://www.sdlookup.com/MLS-160049557-7566_Windy_Ridge_Rd_San_Diego_CA_92126. It’s in a better part of Mira Mesa, but it’s also backed to a busy street and 800-900 sq-ft smaller. This one went pending at $779k http://www.sdlookup.com/MLS-160038735-8525_Calle_Cristobal_San_Diego_CA_92126. It’s 700 sq-ft smaller.
Participant[quote=harvey]More than many prior presidents in our history, and more than whatever “3rd party” candidate the whiners will pick as a protest vote.[/quote]LoL. No, not by a looooooooooooooooooooong shot. We’re not even in the same league.
Participant[quote=joec]
Overall, both candidates are bad IMO…Hillary is no better IMO than Trump and I’d be glad if both leave the campaign honestly.[/quote]Thank goodness there’s a 3rd choice in all 50 states.Participant[quote=no_such_reality]Lol. You guys really don’t get it do you.
The rates are going up because we the voters drank the loo laid and dictated the percentage of green energy in the mix by given date. The rate increases are to provide the incentives for the renewables and for purchasing power from the higher cost sources.[/quote]LoL, I’m fully aware of that too. But energy mix isn’t the only reason.
Participant[quote=ocrenter]I do agree they are gouging those that have not gone solar. But just judging by the roofs driving around, would say the majority of SFR throughout the county are still without solar. They will only speed up the conversion to solar either via purchase or lease.
I just don’t understand the short sighted business case here, that’s all.[/quote]
Again, I don’t see those who would be pushing over the fence and get solar will be that much. Again, I think the majority are in the group that can’t get solar (either physically or financially or just doesn’t make sense for them to, since they’re paying <$100/month in electricity). So, they can continue to increase the rate. My bet is, at some point, they'll start charging us for usage of the grid, then the math might no longer make sense for some.Participant[quote=ocrenter]I suppose. Although they might be accelerating the process. I’m certainly happy about it since it speeds up the ROI on my PV system.[/quote]
I think what’s happening is, people like us are causing them to gouge those who can’t get solar. They have to recoup the revenue from somewhere. Not everyone can get solar (poorer areas, people w/ roof that’s facing bad directions, people living in condos, rentals, etc). There are a lot more people in those categories than people like us. So, be blessed that they chose to do it that way and you skirt paying your fair share instead of them charging a flat fee for transmission/grid use. After all, we don’t have backup battery to be completely off grid, so we’re still using their infrastructure, but we don’t have to pay for it.Participant[quote=barnaby33]Where will the water come from for all this growth?
Josh[/quote]
That big giant body of water right next to California?Participant[quote=FlyerInHi]Agree AN. But i don’t think people will learn. The community groups who oppose higher density have no incentives to think more broadly. All they care about is traffic to their stripmalls. And when their kids can’t afford housing, they’ll blame immigrants or whoever.[/quote]The funny party is, if you don’t build high density, you’ll have LA. Which mean the traffic to their strip malls will get worse and the traffic will happen 7 days a week instead of just Monday-Friday.
ParticipantSDG&E have reached its net metering cap. So, how would that affect EV-TOU?
