  • How about not letting the tenant pay more than well over half of the mortgage?

    I would wager that OP kept the biggest apartment between the two as well.

    So OP gets to build equity with someone else’s money and keep the appreciating value of the duplex, all that because he did the maintenance of the property, the strict minimum that society requires for a landlord?

    Miss me with the fake outrage.



  • I am almost 40 and have been using Linux for 3 years now and I am computer literate. However, I couldn’t tell you what exactly systemd other than vague generalities.

    I feel like there isn’t a generation of nerds, just nerds in general, that use Linux deeply and are knowledgeable about Linux low level systems.









  • There is 2 things that are measured in efficiency.

    The first thing is as you mentioned, how much of the solar energy is absorbed. 100% would mean that all the solar energy on the surface of the cell would be absorbed.

    The second thing is how much of the absorbed energy of the solar cell is converted into usable energy.

    For a square meter of sun, there is about 1kW of energy, or 1000W.

    If the solar panel of one square meter is efficient at 50% to absorb the solar energy, 500W would be available.

    Then, if the circuitry is 90% efficient at converting the absorbed energy into usable power, you would get 450W of usable power.

    The overall system efficiency is 450W/1000W, or 45%. So 45% of the solar power that hits the solar panel is usable at the output of the whole system.

    This is a really watered down version of how things really work, but that should help you navigate this article.
