Graduated Highschool at the start of the 80's, college in the late 80's and second round in 91, married and family since then. For me the major news is the mess of the 80's and 90's, this is the bullet list of what hits my memory: Iran Hostage Crisis (1979–1981): The U.S. embassy in Tehran was seized by militants, leading to a 444-day standoff. Reagan Era & Reaganomics: President Ronald Reagan promoted tax cuts, reduced government spending, and a strong defense posture, aiming to counter Soviet influence. Iran–Contra Affair (1985–1987): Secret arms sales to Iran and funding to Nicaraguan Contras drew congressional scrutiny and legal action. Fall of the Berlin Wall (1989): Symbolized the collapse of communist regimes in Europe and the end of the Cold War History. AIDS Epidemic: First recognized in 1981, it became a major public health crisis, especially affecting gay men and others History. Space Shuttle Challenger Disaster (1986): The shuttle exploded 73 seconds after launch, killing all seven crew members History. MTV Launch (1981): Revolutionized music and pop culture by bringing music videos to mainstream TV History. Economic Challenges: The early 1980s recession and high unemployment were countered by aggressive monetary policy. Iraq Invades Kuwait (August 1990): Saddam Hussein’s forces quickly overran Kuwait, prompting a U.S.-led coalition to form. Coalition Forces Free Kuwait: The U.S. led a multinational force to liberate Kuwait, with major battles in the Persian Gulf and the use of advanced air power. End of the War (February 1991): The conflict ended with Iraq’s defeat and the restoration of Kuwait’s sovereignty, though the war was relatively short and decisive. Yes, my grandkids, gardening and EVs are my passion along with work, home theater, cooking, and wine. But I still like to stay up on the news, after all I have a wife to provide for and kids/grandkids I have to think about.

My approach is the opposite, do woodworking, ride my bike, listen to music. I hate the direction the country is going and have lost all respect for our ability to govern ourselves. But refuse to let that dictate my life.

Really? You can ONLY think of major catastrophes that occurred in the last two years and are circled around Trump? You can't think of any plane crashes (UPS or the mass issues with the 737MAX) or wild fires that took out hundreds or thousands of homes (LA)? The Francis Scott Key bridge collapse? Hurricane Helene destroying Western North Carolina?

I was just watching videos of the dives on her. Pretty insane. Ship is not in great shape and its one hell of a dangerous drive. One of mine as well. Italian food to follow.

I only remember it because my parents, their friends, and some relatives talked about this when I was a kid. Before the internet, I would go to the library like a good little nerd and find things, such as a paperback of this very event. You sort of don't talk about it when you're sailing across on one of the newer ships that followed it and kept crossing into the mid or late '70s. I got hooked back then - the shipboard departure from or arrival to New York City is a magical experience. I'll let it go at that. I might discuss Agent Orange in a separate post since ocean liners are one of my happy places.

This makes me wonder what is the younger generations major news issues that they will remember in their golden years? I honestly cannot really point to anything like this other than stupid wars by stupid presidents and the lies of the GOP. What a delusional idiot, he just needs to either finish his decent into the 6ft under or go play with grandkids and stop causing so many problems with his lies. Remember that? Trump again asks Americans to recall something that never happened

Today marks the 70th anniversary of the sinking of Italian Line's "Andrea Doria." She was en route to New York and would have been in the harbor early the following morning, so she was very close to her destination. This was the first post-war peace time transatlantic liner that Italy built and it transported both celebrities and people moving to the United States, albeit probably in different classes due to people's budgets. It was famous for its avant-garde interior design, creature comforts, dining, and extensive artwork. People loved the ship because, before jet travel became more popular and affordable and before other Italian ships were built, this ship essentially functioned as the bridge between Italy and the United States. There wasn't a storm or anything like that. It was a mid-sea collision where the SS "Stockholm" t-boned the Andrea Doria in heavy fog and tore open a few watertight compartments such that she would roll onto her side. You could say that there was some "luck" involved because it took the ship from eleven o'clock that night to ten o'clock the following morning to roll over and sink. Fifty-one people died: 46 on the Doria and 5 on the Stockholm. The captain stayed with his ship. Another big hero was the French liner "Ile de France," where the captain was hesitant to turn his outbound ship around because of the fog and the schedule. However, the captain did turn back and picked up over 800 Andrea Doria survivors and took them to New York. The Ile de France passengers and crew were reportedly very generous in sharing clothing, blankets, bedding, and food with the survivors picked up from the sinking Italian liner. The hits real close to home because I have made this crossing 4 times with my parents on this line's newer ships when I was a kid. My parents knew people who moved to the United States aboard the "Andrea Doria," including one couple who was on the voyage in which she sank.

EV Home Charging: The Good, The Bad, The Ugly
EV Home Charging: The Good, The Bad, The Ugly

G. David Felt replied to G. David Felt's topic in Opinion

Hello @ccap41 I have an 80amp circuit breaker with my 50amp charger, delivering 11kW to the auto steadily. Works great, certified and signed off by the city. Chargepoint manages the power to the auto, so the 80 is available to the charger, but it will not go past 50 unless the auto regulates the maximum input. This way any other EV I buy down the road can still get maximum power. Let me now put it in engineering speak: How an 80A Breaker Powers a 50A ChargePoint Unit When you have an 80A circuit breaker feeding a ChargePoint Home Flex unit rated for 50A output, the system works by matching the charger’s maximum draw to the breaker’s capacity while following NEC continuous-load rules. 1. Continuous-load rule (NEC Article 625) EV chargers are considered continuous loads because they operate near full current for long periods. The National Electrical Code requires that the branch-circuit overcurrent protective device (breaker) be rated at least 125% of the EVSE’s maximum load. For a 50A-rated charger: 50A × 1.25 = 62.5A → rounded up to the next standard size, which is 70A. However, in practice, many installations use 80A breakers for 50A chargers because: The 125% rule applies to the equipment’s rated current, not the breaker’s nominal rating. 80A is a common panel breaker size that safely handles 50A continuous load without nuisance tripping. It provides a margin for fault currents and transient surges. 2. How the 80A breaker “does” the work The breaker protects the conductors from overcurrent and short circuits. It disconnects the circuit if the current exceeds its rating, but at 80A, it will not trip during normal 50A charging. The actual charging current is limited by the charger’s output setting (e.g., 40A, 48A, or 50A) and the vehicle’s onboard charger. The breaker’s higher rating ensures the circuit can handle the continuous load without tripping, while still providing safety protection. 3. Wiring and installation considerations For a 50A charger, the conductors must be sized to carry the continuous load (e.g., 6 AWG copper for 50A at 60°C). The breaker must be in a panel with enough capacity and space for the dedicated 240V circuit. Hardwired installation is often used for 50A chargers because plug-in installations are limited to 40A or 50A circuits ChargePoint. In short: The 80A breaker is sized above the NEC minimum (62.5A) to safely protect the wiring and equipment while allowing the 50A ChargePoint unit to deliver its full 11kW output. The breaker doesn’t “limit” the charger’s power — it just ensures the circuit can handle it without tripping, while still providing overcurrent protection. This information is gathered from the National Electrical Code website.
