    The “Firman” generators you buy at Costco are honestly fantastic. They have saved my bacon for years on end on a budget since I live in Northern California where we pay literally the highest electricity prices in the entire planet for the privilege of having 1-2 outages per month.

      ??? i was talking about car engines? Hyundai’s Theta engine series has been cursed with design flaws and horrible machining quality for so many years now that I don’t really trust any of their vehicles enough to even consider switching to one.

        “Firman” and “Hyundai” are the same engine manufacturer. Maybe they suck at scaling up, the small engines I have purchased from them have stood up to a lot of abuse.

      Bullshit…you’re not even the most expensive in the US. And for “planet reference” the average price ATM where i live (not US) is 40¢/kWh, and we’re not even the most expensive…

      Edit: misread California as Carolina…my bad

          To reinforce this comment, the “certain times” that we pay 70¢/kWh here are literally all the times you need power, and those rates are scheduled to literally double within the next few years.

          Also, gas appliances are now illegal so all cooking and water heating and home heating are at that electricity rate.

          You’re either a shitty LLM or you have difficulties with substance abuse like I do. If you’re the latter, please reach out to me again and we can have a private conversation about our journey to sobriety.

          Uuh…what does that have to do with electricity prices??

            See? That’s what drugs does to a motherfucker, no clue what’s going on around him anymore.

            Jokes aside, I’m also really curious what that has to do with electricity prices.
