Haaaa… not poking fun at no one,…I have done dumb stuff too…in many ways …on many things ..over many years… but it’s still funny as hell…….
It never amaze me that someone thinks they are funny and don't contribute anything useful except to their ego.
Over the past 2 decades I have worked with doctors, dentist, lawyers and other successful people. You see it's not that they are not smart or intelligent people, they just don't have the skillset that I bring to table and that's why they pay me.
In this world you don't have to be and expert in any DIY hobby because that's what this is. Whether I blow myself up or scorch my fingers to crisp, It won't even make the news because people die daily from doing stupid stuff, like smoking, drinking and driving or using meth.
I've spent over $30,000 on this hobby, why because I have the money. I could have purchased a solar system from the numerous door to salesmen, Costco or Tesla but I didn't.
In this Country how good you are at electricity or any profession don't get you respect or a stage to TRY to one up people. The world would be better off if you keep your mouth shut.
I heard the former President of the United States say on TV that when you have money (and a lot people do) you can kiss women you don't even know and grab them by Pu$$y, yes the former president said that, and if he's correct then intelligence has nothing to do with how this world operates.
I have never lived in a house that someone else lived in because my first house to my current house I had built from the ground up. I have purchased 3 homes in the last 20 years but I'm not poking fun of no one.
Haaaa not poking fun at no one, I have done dumb stuff too, like walking into Arrowhead Mercedes and buying my first Mercedes Benz Cash because I did not want Mercedes to run my credit, and I thought that measured your level of success because I was young, but you know what I learned from that situation. (1) You can't just go buy things cash because you have to provide some financial info due to the Patriot Act. Most solar experts may not know what the Patriot Act entails. (2) Most people with money don't purchase vehicles in that way because they would rather let their money work for them in the form of drawing interest from investment accounts and use the banks money with 0% interest or the lowest interest for the purchase. Besides its a depreciating asset but I'm not poking fun at no one.
My wife does work for the Government in the field of Teaching and Learning, she has to have a security clearance for the Job, if she shows signs of being financial irresponsible like not paying bills on time or debts been reported to collections etc. she would have been denied a security clearance and she would not have that Job. Most people don't have their financial life together but on social media you can post things, insult people and don't have to responsible for any thing that comes out of the mouth. The reason I'm mentioning this is because if a individual looking for help know matter how dumb you think it is, there is a method that you must understand to be effective. Effective communicators they will let their audience know that their no stupid question why because we all see things differently. example (1) a child goes to the teacher and says I don't understand this problem can you help me. The teacher will not insult the child before she provides assistant, a professor in college would not insult an adult student and turn around and attempt to help him or her. After the insulting comment the child or the adult student cannot learn anything from this type of individual because its counter productive to the science of teaching and learning.
You cant come on forums and social media make insulting comments and think that your input or advice is going to set you apart. What it will do is let people know that, you are socially awkward, you lack people skills, you have narcissistic behavior and you might need to see a doctor to get the help you need.
Don't mean to be boastful in my response because I saw the insult the first time and ignored it because it didn't add anything of value to the post or myself. But you have to deal with the ignorance of people head on.
Haaaa not poking fun at no one, I can spend another $30,000 and it should not bother you a bit. In that $30,000+ so far it includes some bad purchases and mistakes made in this hobby, but what I do know is next week the two EG4 inverters are being returned.
