Right? For someone who doesn't know about things and has never heard of people, he sure does never shut up about them.
But exceptionally, I’ve heard that a PV can directly power a compressor with no middleware.
I don' t think I've ever heard or read that about compressors. I also know that brownouts aren't good for them since they have to work harder by pulling more current to compensate for the reduced voltage. That causes them to run hotter. It's also not taking into account any controller electronics that may be in the mix which are also sensitive. Granted, this is all based on knowledge from refrigerators, but the components are basically the same.
However, I have read people running the electric heating elements in hot water heaters directly from PV, either directly or as a dump load. If I recall, the thing to watch out for with that is the thermostat; they're not made for DC and can fail to work properly. Not sure what the fix is for that (possibly replace it with one rated for a larger AC current, but I don't recall).
The electric elements are just "dumb" resistance loads and generally don't care what kind of power goes into them. Compressors are quite a bit more complex, so I'd be wary about feeding them anything but the "type" of power they expect.
Genuine question: what's the success rate of catching and prosecuting people who make these kinds of threats?
I'm guessing it's either nearly 100% or depressingly low but nowhere in between.

Yeah, it is very ridiculous. When I check out at the grocery store, I don't think the cashier is an extra hard worker because they're standing. I just think corporate is a bunch of d-bags for pointlessly making them stand.
I refuse to use the self-checkouts because they treat you like a thief and are extremely frustrating. Will keep that rant to myself, but it's a doozy lol.
Among other reasons Aldi is pretty great, they let their cashiers sit.

If he lives to be 150, he might actually start to see some real consequences finally catch up.
Why isn't the music industry bankrupting his campaign like he was some grandma whose grandkids downloaded a song from Napster while they were visiting?

Which is why I worry we may see more of this. Attention-seeking hateful people realizing they can get the ultimate retweets.
