Vowels change the shape of your mouth's cavity to change which frequencies to emphasize ("formants") and we hear the differences in vowels by analyzing those formant patterns.

The issue is the grid-tied solar. It looks for a grid signal, and sends power out to the grid. When you connect your F150's 240V bed outlet, that will look just like the grid, and if you're producing more than you're consuming the solar will try and send excess power to the truck. Maybe this damages the truck, maybe it just trips and shuts down, but either way your house goes dark.

It looks like when it's against code it's "by default": if an appliance is not explicitly listed as acceptable for a plug it has to be hard wired. ND and OK have passed state level amendments allowing it, some places have done this locally, and in many places building inspectors allow it with their discretion.

1. House has solar.

2. House does not have batteries.

3. Grid is down.

4. When solar production exceeds house consumption, the extra goes to the electric vehicle.

5. When house consumption exceeds solar production, the extra comes from the electric vehicle.

This really doesn't look like something the F150 can do.

From my perspective, "zero-interrupt automatic transition" is not that important, but being able to have the system smoothly move between having the solar recharge the car and the car power the house during an extended grid outage is critical.

I think very little is worth it for three days every few years. Instead, I see the benefit of batteries + solar or a serious generator as reducing tail risk from rare serious disasters that leave the grid down for months or longer. These are not likely, but if they happen I'd want to have something in place.

(Spain is effectively using single-double DST, based on the delta from solar)

I agree big fans moving slowly is better all else equal, and something AirFanta-like that used a 12" fan could be even better.

I leave them on setting 2 (unless someone is sick or we're having a lot of people over), and we get ~425 CFM for about $40/y in power (~5W each).

That sounds too high? An AirFanta 3Pro on "2" is 141 CFM at under 5W https://www.jefftk.com/p/running-an-air-purifier-on-batterie...

(Equivalent to saying you have more people under 2.5 years old than under 10 years old.)

I give it 1-2y.

It climbed the ramp very slowly. It doesn't require insane acceleration at all, just a reasonable amount of power at the wheels combined with a fan that can hold it to the track.

The math doesn't work, though: 21k bags at $1.80 donated is $37,800 in donations, but you could clearly donate much more than that working at Jane St.

In this case, we're looking at a picture from 2025. The models involved in the main agent results were primarily Claude 3.5 through Sonnet 4.5, GPT-4.1 through GPT-5, and Gemini 2.5. And the paper's design means you're mostly looking at the very initial effects of deployment, before companies developed good review processes.
