no one liked and obviously no one wanted to hang out with. For reasons unknown, this kid liked to argue with classmates. I don't know if it was to get attention or had problems at home. He was the kid in the corner with no friends because of his behavior. Tried hard to fit in with people but lacked social intelligence. I hope he is doing OK....

sit down and stare at me

New buzzword, soapbox, stomp feet battlecry. So far Schitz, HiroNO and I think I heard Kahele say that so far.

Victim was riding on a moped when attacked. He was already in a disadvantage against a person with an unsheathed machete. A chance if the victim was armed with a Taser while riding on a moped? Nope. All I could think of was this:

In Lakewood, a group of suspects ages 15 to 20 stormed a Home Depot store around 8:30 p.m. and grabbed tools such as crowbars, mallets and sledgehammers before getting away in vehicles that were waiting outside, FOX 11 of Los Angeles reported.
One entire section of hammers was completely cleared out, Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies told the station.
As many as 10 vehicles pulled up outside the store and the thieves donned ski masks before launching their spree, KCBS-TV of Los Angeles reported.
RAMPANT SMASH-AND-GRAB THEFT PART OF FAILURE TO PROSECUTE CRIMINALS, TOLERATED BY OFFICIALS, EXPERTS SAY
The theft prompted fears that the stolen tools would be used to commit more robberies at other stores in the area, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department told the station.

Sound familiar? As firearms owners we are often painted as the suppliers of firearms in the event of a theft.

On a related note, maybe there is a correlation here.

Mayor London Breed announced a major budget cut to the San Francisco police and sheriff's departments over the next two years.
In a press conference Friday, the mayor said $120 million in funding would be redirected from law enforcement agencies to instead be spent on addressing disparities in the Black community.

HECO has a different rate tier for CGS systems and I don't think it is fair.
They don't pay you the fair rate for excess electricity you put into the grid. Instead they take the lower of the two : delivered electricity in KwH and received electricity in KhH (from your PV system) and then multiply it by .1507. That sum is then credited to your bill. I know there are some real engineers out there that can point out some way to get the max return on investment for this. I ran some scenarios where a user bought a system that produces higher than their avg consumption and another where a user get a system that delivers less. Both scenarios in my analysis - the homeowner doesn't win either on upfront, capital costs or not being paid fair rate. HECO current residential rate is at 28 cents per KwH and the credited rate for CGS is 15 cents
