Yeah so... solar panels in the path of a hurricane: good chance they do fine. Solar panels in the path of a tornado: pretty much like everything else in the path of a tornado.

I'm waiting to replace my resistance w/h until Nate says it's okay to do so. Sucks that it has to be this way, because I'd really love to save the energy (and money) ASAP.

Cc: @AOSmithHotWater @rheem_water somebody fix this

[Nate the House Whisperer @energysmartwv]

It drives me absolutely nuts that I don’t trust heat pump water heaters right now.

They are such an incredible option when they work well, they can save enough electricity to offset an entire EV’s usage.

Please fix this @AOSmithHotWater @rheem_water @waterheatersale

@massdistraction "Staff can contact the court-appointed trustee to become a creditor for any wages owed." Ouch.

The result is now final & fully litigated: Oklahoma Natural Gas residential customers will pay between $5.72 to $7.82 per month for *25 years* to pay off *a single week's worth* of natural gas. I have never seen anything so crazy.

@SlackHQ But wait, @Slack. Now animated reactions don't work. Bruh. I just wanted to be able to pause big gifs.

[Ben Zientara @BenZientara]

.@SlackHQ needs a play/pause button for gifs

@SlackHQ Those darn software developers did it. They really did. Thanks!

He picks up a bus
and he throws it back down
As he wades through the buildings
toward the center of town
with Lola
L-O-L-A, Lola
Lo Lo Lo Lo Lola.
