Said govt is seeming unaware of this.

I expect no less from a coastal Californian. 🤣

This is your owners manual.

My panels only have 2 modes of efficiency. Can make coffee at 5am. Need more Gas for Genny.

Fitting day for the 1 year anniversary of the MPPT test. The goal of said test was to determine with lazy scientific methodology if there was an advantage to allowing the turbine to gain inertia without the constant load of the 24v applied voltage but rather to let the charge controller...

There are a few threads on CME/EMP you can search. Some find the subject worth discussing. Some prefer ignorance; it is bliss.

The new slogan from the San Francisco board of tourism. FREE SHIT! THE SIDEWALK NEAREST YOU!

Urban legend states the reason they put those safety handles on push mowers, is because some guy tried to trim his hedges with one. They call him Lefty now. Sorry for the tangent Oz. Back to your regularly scheduled program.

I spent my solar money on a VCR.

Someone has to have 1.21 Gigawatts.

I think Ray Epps and the other 200 undercover fibs incited a lot more people than a speech did.

Correction: There are 11 million children who get free lunches. NOT the same. These children would be better off if their parents knew how to plant a garden, no? Easy to show the receipts that you have donated all of your income above poverty level to help the starving waifs. If you're going to...

Perfect example of normalcy bias. Store shelves get bare during every winter storm and hurricane. Nothing ground to a halt during 2020; the shelves were empty because of panic buying not real shortages. Unfortunately, the DOD disagrees with "we will get by".

I am beginning to wonder whether I'm talking to MSNBC or an AI in training.

Personally, I hope it continues to meander until @Supervstech starts to complain about the heat or the complete magnetic pole reversal kills the internet for good. Whichever comes first.

Buy more Lipos before the WEF realizes that cargo ships burn 5000 gallons of diesel per hour.

The thousands of years to extract the minerals from the earth for those EVil batteries not withstanding, of course. We could dig more holes for lithium and cobalt and... but the same folks that want EVs don't want more holes in the ground because they will disturb the nesting grounds of the...

He says nearly all the right things to me. A few things I don't agree with, which i can't iterate ATM. Will he actually do them? Will the deep state take him out?Anybodies guess. Some things about him that bother me: He claims he has never been political, but the video of young him and Pete...

This one belongs to one of my clients. It is approximately the same swept area. I re-engineered the CC for it after their previous solar contractor thought one of the phase wires was a neutral and bonded it to the system. Smoked everything. The mast is 3" sch 40 pipe embedded in 64 cu ft of...

That will all be solved as Cali raises the minimum wage to $75 per hour. It'll all be fine.

You are partially correct. I have had only mild interest in space weather since 2013 or so. *I am aware of regular radio disruptions.* Understanding how much exponential loss has occurred in the earth's geomagnetic field has my attention. I'm sure you understand the weaker our protection from...

The only way that will get permitted is if the Pelosi/Newsom crime family are majority stakeholders. Poor Sonny Bono will be rolling over in his grave.

If only there were someone who started a DIY solar forum and constantly gets free batteries sent to them for review that would donate some Guinee pig batteries for real world testing of such matters... ?

Normalcy bias is a remarkable psychological mechanism, until it isn't. Follow the herd.

If one could define an emergency as 24 hours or more without power, I would definitely concentrate on storing some of that well water above ground.

China seems to be content with inserting DNA sequences into critters.

Certainly not how a Constitutional republic is supposed to be. Maybe what is has become.. The people should have the capacity to immediately remove a representative that doesn't abide by their wishes. While democracy is pure mob rule. What we have now are politicians who try to find cracks in...

Too much popping off globally. It's difficult to know if we are still in the steady drip-drip or the train has apexed and just hasn't gained enough speed to say with a certainty that it is indeed coming off the rails. Continued economic collapse is most looming. Things are changing and will get...

Agreed. One of the few things I am not immediately concerned with. No health issues, no meds.

On the contrary, my friend. Home power generation is a reality. You are free to negotiate prices for the power lines, transformers, and other accoutrement needed for your lifestyle with your provider. Leave me and my anti-socialist tax-dollars out of your equations.
