Is the Pause function broken on anybody else's Roku

About a month or two back the Pause feature on my Roku broke. It keeps proceeding with the paused show in the background, so that when I hit play it jumps forward to where I would have been without pausing.

Spitball an install price please.

I'm thinking about putting an offer in on a house that has 14 panels on the roof, and that's all I can find out so far. I'm moving from renting to owning, and I'm trying to decide how much the install is worth. I'm in Maryland; the asking price on the house is $375,000. They are owned outright.

I realize this is very little to go on but the realtor cannot tell me the wattage, at least not yet. Is this more of a $10,000, $25,000, or $50,000 level of cost to put on? I can buy another place and install myself of course, but getting an idea of how much this adds to the value would be . . . valuable.

**Update** -- thank you all! A 2024 install so they're quite new. I drive an electric so the solar means cheap fuel too, and with the price of electricity going up in PJM it's a really nice benefit. May install a battery to go with it. Average electric bill has been $35 according to the docs with the house.

The house is in great shape. I wish the garden was too!

First Oil Change

I've had the car two years now. Just to review, synthetic oil. That's it, right? Don't need any other special instructions?

Sirius/XM is back on in my Volt!

Just got an email saying that Sirius has been re-enabled in my Volt!

I need to decide if it's worth taking the time to figure out how to turn it on.

Why do I get to cheat?

I just signed up for Dan Wang's Breakneck through my library, that reciprocates with other libraries in my state. (Though I will mention that you can't add two Maryland county libraries into Libby. All feed to "Maryland Digital Library") It says I'm #4 in line, 3 copies in use, 19 people waiting, 6 people per copy.

Does this mean I'm really #19, i.e., 4th in line on in one of the queues for a single copy of the book? The math would work, but feels hokey. Seems to me it should tell me I'm 19th in line for a book with 3 copies.

Or do they just really like me a lot and let me up in front of 15 other people? Their guess is a two week wait, which sure sounds like I ain't #19! That's a lot of cheating.

196 Beverley Street

Just a quick snappy of your house, probably around 1909.

Taken before that pesky tree was there. My grandmother (likely the small child in the photo) was born in this house in 1907.
