Yeah, I mostly agree. I don't think it's necessarily malicious or selfish. I think they're just used to their job and don't realize how big it's gotten. They don't step back and look at how there are so few people around to fix this shit and it's on THEM to manage it. They needed to step up, and they haven't really.

    Some people just want to rail against establishment Dems at all available opportunities. They want to turn people against those Dems more than they want to turn them against Republicans, intentional or otherwise.

    I also have issues with the establishment Dems, but not like that. I'm pretty infuriated by Jefferies declaring that now is the time to play nice.

    But this article saying Chucky Schumer crafted this possibility is interesting. The establishment Dems aren't all bad. They're not the worst allies. They're just more interested in following us than leading us based on real convictions. We can use that.

    Yes, if they had known there would be a nationwide 13+ point shift, maybe they could have allocated resources a little better.

    Or not. Hard to argue they should have done things differently with this result. I mean, yeah, I feel it too. There are races that just needed a little more to get over the line, but I don't think we should have expected those races to be in Mississippi and the Florida Senate (and we're probably winning Mississippi).

    His "come together" speech was incredibly tone deaf right as voters just loudly said the opposite.

    People are tired of 70 and 80 year olds running everything.

    He's had his time. It was mediocre at best. He should give it up to someone with more energy to represent us.

    I do. It takes a special kind of dumb to do this much damage to the country. Where's he gonna go when he's done?

    I don't trust Vance, but all I really know about him is that he'll lie for power. He could turn out to be relatively fine.

    It's very simple. Buy your domain for the next ten years for under $200. Then find an email provider where you can bring your own domain. Namecheap has always been good to me. Maybe also Hetzner in Germany?

    Hetzner provides email with their cheapest webhosting package at €1.60 a month.
    Namecheap is a little more pricey than I expected. You pay $89.28/2 years with a promo code - Renews for $143.76/2 years

  • Patch 26.20 Notes (www.leagueoflegends.com)
     

    Bee woo woop - the Worlds patch is here! Plenty of pro tuning, more champs return to Classic, and HEARTSTEEL are living their lives.

    Game Updates - 10/6/2026

    Bee wee woop - it's time for WORLDS! For Summoner's Rift, this is the patch we'll be seeing our year-defining competitive play on. Lock in, because we've got some adjustments to some pro staples like Ambessa & K'Sante, and buffs to weaker champions who might be on the edge of viability like Kennen & Kindred. Rocketbelt is getting another tap to make it a bit worse at just being a purchasable Flash for immobile characters, with some immediate compensation for some core users because this is the patch and it's the only shot we've got.

    There's quite a bit more, including fun stuff for Mayhem & Classic, so read on for details!

    We're soon coming up on the Worlds patch (which is the patch after this one), so our first round of pro-focused Summoner's Rift changes are coming up here. We've identified some potential fringe picks for the tournament that could also provide some normal play variety without becoming disruptive with a nudge up in power, and knocking some individual meta outliers as well (and also Nasus). Is anyone actually reading these things? Systemically, the top lane role quest has been quite successful at freeing up top laners to skip Teleport, so we think increasing their map influence through that spell (both if you take it from the start of game or just through the quest) is a fair place to give the role some power.

    he Beacon of Hope has officially been inducted into the Hall of Legends. Congratulations, Caps!

    This week's patch kicks off our event that honors the most decorated player in European League of Legends history. The Hall of Legends battle pass will take you on a journey through his storied career, and features new cosmetics plus brand new skins co-developed by Caps himself. We can't wait to celebrate such a humble, confident, and resilient competitor with you all.

    This patch also features changes to Summoner's Rift balance, with some targeted nerfs on overperforming pro supports like Nautilus and Bard, as well as some taps to Seraphine bot and Zeri. A round of buffs is in order for Viego, Zaahen, Master Yi, Ekko, and Kassadin. Finally, Cassiopeia has slithered her way into an adjustment to help reduce her pro skew.

    Classic will be having a big old Demacian reunion this week as Fiora, Galio, Poppy, Shyvana, and Xin Zhao join the fray in addition to a host of balance changes and the results of our first Council vote!

    For all you Mayhem heads out there, we're making sure that the Augment choices you receive make more sense for the champion you're playing, as we continue to improve the Augment pools.

     

    This is my setup

    I'd expect A and B production to be pretty similar. And C times 5/9 should be about the same as D. That's not really what I'm getting.

    Snow, of course, makes this more complicated.

    These are the numbers I'm being told from my installer/Tesla.

    The installer's theory is that: (MPPT B) is quite a bit lower than (MPPT A) for the same array size on the same south facing side of the roof but could be related snow melt on the peak prior to snow melt on the lower roof. This theory seems to be the case on the north facing roof, with the lower array being lower than would be expected.

    Seems kind of odd in November though. I can't say the exact date that tree had no leaves, but it's not exactly hanging over the panels. When the sun gets to a low angle, production dies regardless of the tree, so I don't think it's making a huge difference, particularly in the winter. Plus periods of snow are marked by 0 or near 0 production. They're not that hard to spot.

    I want to say that a 20-30% difference in A's production vs B's production probably means something's wrong. Any thoughts would be welcome.

    I also don't know why their numbers are so far off of what Home Assistant is showing (other than watts vs kilowatts).
