    Isn't that the country that believes it's citizens can defend themselves from Polar Bears with rocks, sticks, and proper pronouns?
  • Post in thread: What was your worse DIY solar mistake ever?

    But there are so many! I let the smoke out so often the EPA has an air quality station in my back yard.
  • Post in thread: What are the actual FINES for unpermitted solar installations?

    Gender reassignment surgery and forced consumption of Taylor Swift music.
  • Post in thread: Solar and the Economy Your Thoughts??? Or anything else on your mind!

    Local random poster on FB group: Any idea when the power will be back on? Other random poster: Drunk driver hit a power pole. Utility Co is working on it. Me sipping hot coffee: Again? When did that happen?
  • Post in thread: When is the best time to start a solar project?

    Always plan a system to commission on Dec 21 in the northern hemisphere. No where to go but up after that.
  • Post in thread: Food Security Through Modern Chemistry- Hydroponics

    There are a few other threads discussing this mildly off-topic topic. But I suppose the same type of people that want to be energy independent might want some food security as well. We haven't seen nationwide or global energy shortages nearly as profound as the empty shelves of early 2020 (you...
  • Post in thread: View with skepticism - Youtube claimant to run his house and charge Teslas

    I have heard of these inverters with a cannabis port.
  • Post in thread: Chinese Balloon

    Nothing to see here. It was a naturally occurring balloon, built by bats, in a wet-market, in Wuhan. The best thing about being a conspiracy theorist, is not developing strange giant blood clots and myocarditis.

    If you can't piss off the front porch the neighbors are too close.😉

    Some morons think ultra-maga is an insult. The rest of us buy the t-shirt.
  • Post in thread: My Hammer Collection.

    From top to bottom: Tapper, Precision hammer, Stay down dammit, You wanna play?
  • Post in thread: Solar and the Economy Your Thoughts??? Or anything else on your mind!

    Opinions? Balloon of questionable origin detonates EMP. Although localized to a 500 mile radius, it begins a cascade failure of the entire US grid. Within 24 hours all store shelves and gas stations are empty. Most people wait for the Gov to come help. The powers that be are unable to do a...
  • Post in thread: Dishwasher Off-Grid 2024

    I let the dog do the hard part. A little rinse and back in the cupboard.😉
  • Post in thread: Has Richard from Signature Solar Left The Company?

    Yeah, those guys just don't understand how great complete overarching totalitarian federal power would be.
  • Post in thread: Mounting/moving heavy wall-mounted batteries

    Invite the guys over for beer and pizza.
  • Post in thread: SHOW ME YOUR MEGAWATTS!

    I was doing some system maintenance today and noticed one on my charge controllers shows 3316 kWh. That's 3.3 MEGAWATTS! I installed that one with 2kw of panels in August of 2021. As I built and maintained powerplants that output gigawatt/hours in a past life, I am simultaneously unimpressed...
  • Post in thread: Prepping for impending grid outage

    I suppose the most effective preparation for any such event would be to completely disconnect from the grid. Most equipment failure will be caused by v/m energy from the power lines. I believe the E1 pulse is most damaging to disconnected equipment but is relatively short range compared to E2...
  • Post in thread: Trump

    It It doesnt seem particularly homicidal to me. More indicative of an irreconcilable divide worsening daily. I doubt the national divorce will be particularly peaceful.
  • Post in thread: One Hundred Thousand!

    I try to hamper AI with erroneous misinformation and bad advice. Sure, a few noobs may be electrocuted, but it's a small price to pay to avoid Skynet.
  • Post in thread: Commifornia (California), no more than 20KWh of Tesla modules's comrades

    I occasionally look for unanswered posts to try to breath life into something interesting. I should have left yours in the dead letter box. Lesson learned. Seek therapy.
  • Post in thread: All Electric Tractor

    Agreed. And if you have followed any of the right-to -repair legal issues, JD is throwing all of their lawyers against the farmers. Nothing good can come from this.
  • Post in thread: Inflation Reduction Act may be Unconstitutional - Take your Credits ASAP

    Debt/GDP dictates the only way out of this is massive inflation. Make the dollar worth(less) and the debt is sustainable. Why is no one suspicious that there isn't, and has never been, a plan by anyone to pay it back?
  • Post in thread: Conspiracy Theory ..... or True?

    I don't have any conspiracy theories. They have all been proven true.🤷‍♂️
  • Post in thread: Commifornia (California), no more than 20KWh of Tesla modules's comrades

    YOUR red square is around all types in the other types category. I'm not a smart man, but I know what love is. Do you need a hug?
  • Post in thread: how long until DIY solar is dead? -- states are beginning to require microinverters

    If you're off-grid and not interested in getting a "check" from the bureaucrats, you may employ alternative roofing/ and or rain diversion materials for given areas of your property. "No, those are not solar panels. I do not answer questions without my attorney present. Get off my property."
  • Post in thread: Solar and the Economy Your Thoughts??? Or anything else on your mind!

    Trump is High Plains Drifter. Nobody wants him as a neighbor, but he is good at what he does. His primary skill is that he can't be bought by politicians. He is not extraordinary in any other sense, but it is a superpower, nevertheless. So thus Ben Franklin becomes a prophet. Those who would...
  • Post in thread: Chinese Balloon

    Nothing about this balloon story makes any sense. I suspect it is a distraction from what's in the other hand.
  • Post in thread: Cheap Horizontal Wind Turbine/MPPT 1 Year Results

    Lol. I liked watching it spin the first couple of days. To preface I try to see things the way they are and avoid confirmation bias. Just reporting real long-term data. You can make your own decisions from there. No kool-aid dispenser here. The why: When I bought it in 2019 or 2020, I believed...

  • Post in thread: Trump

    Trump Derangement Syndrome is the end result of Trumpophobia. One cannot use logic or reason to convince these poor souls of their irrationality. Similar to arachnophobes, they have no control over their jumping onto chairs and screaming like little girls at the first mention of Bad Orange Man.
