exactly. happened once ever. And you right, I was preparing for a thanksgiving diner (canada so october). My thermostat was set to auto so AC kicked in due to all the heat coming from stove (and was a particulalry warm october.. i did turn off ac though). Was also doing laundry+dishes.

why dont you jusst create a self signed wildcard cert and install it in your browser?Thats what we do for our local development we have a wildcard cert with multiple SAN and it works great. Then just install it in our keychain

No, but if enough people even just did as OP was saying, charge it from grid overnight, maybe they wouldnt need as much power plants.

Peak of 15?? really?. What are you in a 4000sqft home with dual air conditioners, and running your oven + burners?. I do agree a peak of 3kw is fairly low. Turn on a dryer + ac and you blow right past it. But even a peak of 7 or 8 would be good for most people.

exactly. I was able to draw 20kW at once throughout my whole home (I have a whole house energy meter). I had 4 stove burners, oven, dryer, AC, dishwasher, couple computers/tvs all running at the same time. My energy meter starts making a loud beeping noise once you go past 15. This happened once. I can count on 1 hand how many times I hit 10+. I rarely go over 5.. But in summer I can easily hit 4

I would personally rather have Cs or even Ds. Oh wait, were you talking about the grades?

Im not being lazy, im being productive. jQuery helps you get things done quickly. Could I get everything I needed done without it? Of course, but when I can get things done much faster with it, I will use it.

And your post leads directly to people becoming more dumb.

Ok, if you meet me right now you would associate me as a fat person(and rightfully so). Which I am at 278lbs. However, 7 months ago I was 360lbs. Thing is, just because you are skinny doesnt mean that you know shit about nutrition, and just because I am fat, doesnt mean I dont know anything about weight management. Sure before I knew "eating too much makes me fat", but I have done A LOT of research in the past 7 months and probably know a lot more than the average person about weight management even though I am fat.

And what is "normal weight"? Ever heard of skinny-fat?. You could easily be a "normal" weight at 170lbs but still be at 35% body fat percentage. Who would be healthier a 170lb person at 35% body fat or someone at 220lbs at 10%BF?

Which is why you go with the diet soda, so it isnt over 1000 calories. That diet soda saves you a couple hundred calories that can be used for weightloss or other food.
Another thing -- eating adequate amount of protein is important during weight loss to minimize muscle loss and keep it mostly fat loss. That is one advantage of being overweight, is I have plenty lower body muscle from lugging my fat ass around all day for the past 20 years, so now during my weight loss I can focus more on upper body.

Seriously? I am losing a bunch of weight, and yes sometimes I go order the double burger from my local burger joint with extra cheese and a diet soda. Guess what? I account for those calories, and I will often skip the fries.

Lets check out nutritional information for mcdonalds --- Double Quarter pounder with cheese -- 740 calories Large fries -- 560 calories. For a total of 1300 calories.
Large soda -- 320calories. So yes, getting that diet soda saves me 320 calorie.s

Since I need 2800 calories per day to maintain, that still leaves me with 1500 calories for the rest of the day to lose weight.

Since you are going to be eating lunch anyways you may be eating an extra what 400 calories by going to mcdonalds instead of a home cooked meal? Since I often skip the fries Ill actually be about the same.

Hey I am one of those larger people out jogging. We need to jog slow for pacing. Im lugging 100+extra lbs then most typical runners. Strap on a 60lb backpack (I will have extra leg muscle due to my weight) and see if you can run your normal speed.

Except his steak may have less calories than your salad if you are putting on more than a tablespoon or two of salad dressing...

Sure, if you like taking laxatives with your drinks

10 cents might be a bit excessive, even if it was just 2 or 3 cents.
