Comment on Three Generations of Toshiba Portege Laptops Compared by Larry

Larry — Mon, 11 Apr 2016 04:05:46 +0000

I’ve used Toshiba laptops exclusively for at least 20 years and been quite pleased. Your advice on upping my memory to 16GB when Toshiba said 8GB was outstanding. Now I’m ready to upgrade again from a Portege R30. I’m interested in knowing what kind(s) of laptops you now use and recommend especially the ultrabooks. Thanks.

Comment on Are Electric Cars Practical? by way0utwest

Good points and certainly I consider these on a regular basis when I’m looking to change cars. My “range anxiety”, which may be similar to Brent’s, is that I often take lots of small trips. 20mi to take kids to school. Then back home, but I may go out at lunch to the gym, 25 mi, and be back for a few hours before going to take kids to events at night. Those could be an easy 40 mi.

All in all, not a lot, and not every day, but the sporadic nature of my trips, with perhaps the forgetfulness of not charging and getting stuck. I’m also concerned about taking the car skiing, which is less about cold, but it is a 200mi trip, and I may have side errands, so charging is a concern.

I think it’s less about the car not being able to work, and more about not needing another thing I need to plan for. If there were more charging stations (and I am seeing more), then I would feel differently, but still, I have to make an effort to find the station and charge during errands/trips.

Thanks for sharing your queries, they are a great source of information.
A suggestion to number the queries along with the exact name as in the excel tabs so we know which query results go in which tabs.

[…] everything I found, because the way SQL Server works, were cumulative information. Glenn Berry’s DMV Diagnostic Information Queries is great place to learn where to get this information. But again, it is based on SQL Server […]

Comment on A Tale of Two Utility Companies by Glenn Berry

In reply to Mike.

If you actually did some research, you might realize that solar-PV is fast approaching grid-parity from a cost perspective in many parts of the U.S.

Many more people can afford solar arrays now as the cost has come down dramatically since I installed my system. IREA is against grid-tied solar primarily because they own a big stake in the fairly new Commanche coal fired generation plant down in Pueblo.

Wait, so the problem is that IREA won’t raise electricity rates for poor folks in order to subsidize solar arrays for those few who can afford them?
