Of course I had to get upgraded ones to keep up with my friends lol! Fun times!

God Bless Eddie Van Halen!

Inspirobot kinds makes a good point there…

DailyLlama:

If the government(s) were really serious about green energy, they’d mandate that all new builds had solar panels on the roof, which would lower the demand for generated electricity during the day (and reduce pollution from burning stuff), and bring down the price of solar panels for everyone else.

Amazon removed solar panels from all facilities following a string of massive fires caused by the panels.

If something is good, people will buy in without the need for government coercion.

I’m not sure if the AI contribution is a coincidence but it is National Badger Day today! We have not one, not two but FOUR children’s books featuring our beloved honey badgers–otherwise known mellivora capensis.

And speaking of badgers, there is also the Badger Badge in Spiceworks:

Spiceworks Badger badge Water Cooler

Being an avid user of Spiceworks, I occasionally scower the features and lesser visited areas to see what all it has to offer. Not too long ago I stumbled upon this while looking that the Spiceworks Badges , I noticed at the bottom, the Badger badge which links here . Well, let me just say my love for badgers is unmatched! I never leave my post-apocalyptic future without one. Does this qualify me for this badge of awesomeness? [badger.png]

Well I guess I can celebrate. My ancestors originally settled in Wisconsin before some were lured to Western Canada by the promise of cheap land.

Actually Mr. Van Halen isn’t quite right, there are only 12 notes on a traditional western keyboard, but a string or brass player has got a lot more available because there are “notes” in between. That means a keyboard’s tuning is always a compromise to allow it to make an attempt to play in multiple keys usually Equal Temperament.

But did they leave a 1 star review on their own AmazonBasics brand solar panels?

@sean-spiceworks Can you get the badge by badgering someone? You can tell me @sean-spiceworks if you can. Come on, @sean-spiceworks , why aren’t you answering me? @sean-spiceworks does the badge only relate to the animal? Is there another way to earn fun badges @sean-spiceworks ? Someone wake @sean-spiceworks before his next birthday party.

I tagged @sean-spiceworks six times in one post, is that a record @sean-spiceworks . Eight times.

Nope, they flooded the reviews with fake posts to dump them all.

I’m not sure if this is true, @gurugabe1 , but I’ve heard a rumor that badges and points disappear if someone is badgered too much! At least that is what Z tells me every time I come up with crazy ideas…

Ha ha. I hadn’t heard that rumor, but I can confirm.

Unfortunately, solar isn’t economically viable everywhere. I looked into it for my house and there was just no way that the cost of solar would ever be regained in savings.

Then, too, solar panels themselves have quite the environmental impact on both ends of their relatively short lifespan. Solar isn’t the panacea that I once thought it would be. At least not for everyone.

LAST! I hope you had a good weekend @ismoonastar and @panda-marie and @shreddie . I was off on Friday, so I did not post. Thank you for asking @shreddie

Cerbere:

Today in History:
· 1903 – The High Court of Australia sits for the first time.

And boy, were their legs tired.

Yep @cerbere they had been standing until then.

1923 – The Turkish National Movement enters Constantinople. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dPg4bE_X5So - @lonnyl I like this version better, a less manic.

2019 – Rip Taylor , American actor and comedian (b. 1931): I get him confused with the comedian Rip Torn ( Rip Torn - Wikipedia ). I am sure that insults one, if not both of them.
I’ll buy that for a dollar, Mr. Bot.

@gurugabe1 I had the same thought regarding Betty Davis Eyes by Kim Carnes

I have been feeling strange:
