Solar City installed solar panels in 250 stores, 7 of them went on fire. Walmart suing Tesla. Meanwhile Musk talks about trying to set Mars on fire.
Indeed, Walmart quickly discovered that Tesla routinely deployed individuals to inspect the solar systems who lacked basic solar training and knowledge. Tesla's personnel did not know, for example, how to conduct inspections or how to use simple tools, such as temperature-measuring "guns" used to detect hotspots, and a Tesla employee failed to identify multiple hotspots that Walmart's consultants observed.
14. Walmart's inspectors observed negligent and dangerous wire connection practices, which were readily apparent at many of the sites visited and are a critical risk factor in contributing to fires. Tesla personnel had made numerous on-site cable connections using connectors that were not compatible with one another, and they had often failed to "torque" (i.e.,tighten) the connectors adequately, due at least in part to their failure to use proper tools for that purpose.
15. Moreover, Tesla's wire management practices were negligent and inconsistent with prudent industry practices. Loose and hanging wires were present at multiple Walmart locations, resulting in abraded and exposed wires, decreased insulation, and a phenomenon known as arcing that substantially increases the risk of fire by causing electricity to travel through an unintended path. Tesla also failed to "ground" its systems properly, violating basic practices for the installation and operation of electrical systems in a way that increased the risk of electrical fire.

Nothing more stressful than buying. Put your focus and energy into your potential next home.

Play games that my computer wouldn't be capable off, stream it directly off of beefy servers in London. No clue about how useful it would be in Ireland though. Latency between you and server could certainly render some games (multiplayer online specifically) un-playable.

Would highly recommend here (you've prob booked but anyone else is thinking about a trip to Clare).
This may or may not be an original thought of my own.
All efforts were made to make this thought original but with the abundance of thoughts in the world the originality of this thought cannot be guaranteed.

It's Michelin Star but very (extremely) laid back and a three course meal will probably cost about €60 a head before drinks.

A few places you might think about if Wild honey inn doesn't work out.
Oar in Doolin is a new entrant to the market this year it's not a big menu but it's all really well done.
Little Fox in Ennistymon is an experience for an open-minded diner. The menu is eclectic and you're going to have to be willing to eat most of it to feel well-fed. The food is exceptional in terms of quality and ingenuity though. They have a communal seating policy so you can end up sharing a table which is something to be conscious of before you arrive.
If you get a fine Sunday morning it's hard to top brunch overlooking the beach at Randaddy in Lahinch.
If you're heading the other way from Kilnaboy Linnnanes in new Quay is hard to top for seafood and The pier head in Kinvara is consistently good.
Sweet n'green in Ennis is an exceptional lunch stop if you're coming in that way.

We ate in the hotel, the bar menu, which was ok, portions were ridiculously big.
Again pity this question didn't pop up last week as I definitely would have tried Little Fox

That's another great thing about Clare, it's just as great all year round.
Your right though, Clare is great all year round. I especially love a walk on the flaggy shore on a windy winter afternoon. Heaney had it right...
And some time make the time to drive out west
Into County Clare, along the Flaggy Shore,
In September or October, when the wind
And the light are working off each other
So that the ocean on one side is wild
With foam and glitter, ....

After some careful consideration I’m going with Outsider but in form Matsuyama in the golf. Nothing at the top is of value under this format.
I may of course just go into my nearest bookies and incur the wrath of the value hunters who know a great way to squeeze some extra green out of it.
I’m looking forward to a nice bit o golf viewing. 15 million dollar to the winner. bethejaysus

Speaking of Clare. Stayed @ Killofin House in Labasheeda couple of years ago which was one of the highlights of the trip around the south west.
It's not an amazing house, but it is certainly authentic, a proper step back in time.
Sat and chat with the two owners for a couple of hours over tea, ate breakfast supplied fully from their farm the next morning. They were savage value.
Herself didn't sleep a wink though, not after seeing the sacred heart of Jaysis, the 5 foot statues of mary, and the photo of the Pope above the bed. Hilariously enough, I was utterly blind to all of them, as they didn't seem out of place at all. She (a true heathen, born and bred!) was terrified we were going to be invited to mass and held up as an example of a couple living in sin.
There was sweet fuck all to do around the place too. Went to the pub in the back of the shop for a bit, but was all driving distance so didn't stay late.

Saw a Facebook on this day post today. 4 years ago took my American wife to her first hurling game (never heard of the sport until the day before). It was Galway tipp semi final which was an astonishing game. Every time she sees me reading about or watching hurling she thinks that was the run of the mill standard game.
SPOILERshe's not far off in fairness

The Chinese artist and dissident Ai Weiwei is swapping his adopted home of Berlin for Britain, saying German society has become intolerant of refugees and that he feels like a man without a home.
LOL, who wants to tell him ?

They kept the Russians at bay during the Winter War and signed a treaty with them, I wasn't aware they were actually aligned with Nazis. Pretty sure as a proportion of their male population, Finns lost more than any nation during WW2.

Hard to feel sorry for them when you consider what was inflicted on then Leningrad. Which the Finns enabled via the Karelian Isthmus
The Russians made them pay in the end. In typical Stalin fashion.
Then, just to finnish off this little tale, Finland ended the war as one of those strange countries who fought both with and against the Nazis in WW2.

I'll have to get the exact excerpt but I'm almost sure he mentioned Finnish deaths as a proportion of population, not debating what you shared, just anecdotal from the book.
