Where’s UL?: There are so many products these days that are imitations and counterfeits that it’s impossible to know from a webpage what we are buying. Even products that are listed as UL approved are forgeries. I got a solar generator that the manual says UL approved, but the UL logo is not on the device. Worse the Line and Neutral are reversed on the output of the device. (Meaning if you turned the lamp off, the inside of the lamp is still live and I am talking about the large threaded part.)
Are Executive Orders the will of the people?
In a potential sign of the hurdles to come, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) sent a warning shot during one of his first floor speeches back in the minority. Republicans, he warned, were willing to work with Biden but also wouldn’t be shy about blocking bills they don’t support. Because of the 60-vote legislative filibuster, Democrats will need at least 10 GOP senators to pass most things.
A voice speaking a bit of truth.
Heather Higgins, chairwoman of the Independent Women’s Forum, suggested that the left’s current narrative of “unity” is coming across to the other side as being asked to “accept guilt” and “shut up.”
“There’s a lot of ‘we need to unify,’” Higgins told Jan Jekielek, host of The Epoch Times’ American Thought Leaders program on Jan. 20. “That’s the language now.”
But she said the unity they’re talking about is “‘you need to accept guilt for anything that we say that you need to accept guilt for,’ even if you’re not guilty; ‘you need to shut up, and you just need to go along with and comply with our point of view,’” Higgins pointed out. “Which is extremely unhealthy.” Heather Higgins: Silencing People and Forcing Them to ‘Accept Guilt’ Not the Way to Unity (theepochtimes.com)
Project Engineering: Layout new ductwork. With a variable speed compressor the temperature drop in the ducts has a much greater affect on the performance. The reason is that the forced air temp can be just a few degrees above the room temperatures. (Meaning that a few degree change becomes a large percentage of the heat/cool capacity into the room.) I’ve doubled the insulation on the 6″ ducts since they had the greatest surface area per volume of air. I’ve also doubled the long trunk line to the Master Bedroom since it’s length and the two 6″ ducts were affecting the air significantly. I encased the 8″ duct to the kitchen inside a 12″ duct. (Pretty easy actually.) and ran it to the vent over the microwave. I also encased 25 Feet of 8″ duct inside a 12″ duct for my cave yesterday. Reminds me of a really old Star Trek…
Heat pump and ducts are working pretty well, I have the guest bathroom to fix. I measured the temperatures of the rooms and how they responded to the heat sent into them.
My EcoFlow R600 Pro has finally arrived.
Thank you for your support, and about the L and N pin, may connect reversely on the device or on the socket. When UPS mode, the power comes from your home grid directly to the appliance, so please be careful. and the DC at the same time will have a little shock risk. about the UL, we are still in the process, please note we will have a better solution in the future. That’s not really a solution is it? Keep in mind there is NO ground connection (It is just a hole) AND the neutral line is reversed!
The COVID numbers continue to be pretty high.
Narrative: I’m skipping the time bullets today. Wrote a letter to CF first thing then grabbed a cup of coffee while discussing the R600 that I got yesterday with another user. We had a rather heated debate about grounding that was based on differences between the EU version and the USA version of the R600. I made a rather political post on the R600 group this afternoon, it might be fun to have them stew on it for a while. Spent hours on the R600 group trying to inform about the wireless risks.
Feelings: As Christians we are compelled to look after the Widows and the poor. Just how we do that in this climate when there is so much energy fighting the democracy I don’t know.
CF called me Wednesday and we had a long conversation about their shortfalls. It was pretty much the same theme at the end of the day, I need to be patient with them. That was until I mentioned that I’ve not had consistent mail since 2017, then they back peddled some…
Tomorrow: Wednesday.
Retirement: We’ve spent 10K on an air conditioner, need to make that up.
Purchases: Conservation mode, we’re more than 3 paychecks in the hole.
Repairs:
Religion: We were called to read the book Crossing the Line.
Family News: Going day by day.
Arts: Watched the beginning of ww84
Travel: Florida travel looks well out of reach!
Taxes: Waiting on my W2’s
Pi News: Love em, but no time to play with them.
Media: No Instagram posts today I’ve made a couple posts to FB EcoFlow R600 Group.
Injuries: No injuries.
Accomplishments: None.
