“I’ve amassed all this wealth and now that I’m retiring I no longer want to fund the system responsible for my success. Also, fuck welfare. But not Medicare. Dont you care touch my Medicare.”

Rabbits are popular in Greece for this reason. My grandmother always made Stifado with rabbit. Its wonderful.

This is brilliant. I could use this with a grow lights grow micro greens all winter long in my basement. Just tall enough for baby kale. I love how its clear on all sides.

Endured 9 years of Catholic schools. By grade 6th I realized everyone was full of shit and contradicted themselves regularly. Stopped believing in god and the only person I could trust in myself. Thanks for the hard knocks you Catholic nut jobs.

Everyone is over thinking the hell out of this. Almost all thermostats use a cheap NTC resistor, just change the resistance so the hardware thinks its at the whacky temperature. Or you could figure out the bias voltage the system uses through the NTC then apply your own external voltage to trick the system.

I bailed on rocketchat a few years ago for Mattermost and never looked back. Rocketchats update cycle was insane, sometimes two releases in a week but often several a month. A few pdates required full database dumps and manual tweaking. It just wasn’t for me.

Why can’t I prep all the things? I have bullets, beans and bytes, oh my.

My previous primary server used to be a 12 year old laptop with an SSD. I deployed a laptop server in rural Greece and its bulletproof, it VPNs back home to the US and works during short power outtages. Only caveat is the CPU fan, if you run the server with a high load the fans are not designed for years of high usage. I got crazy enough with one server where I cut the bottom out and mounted a large aluminum plate to the CPU heatsink and made it passively cooled.

This is exactly how I conduct myself with my maga mother in law. Any bigoted shit in front of my daughter gets publicly squashed and any political topics are quickly dealt with and put in its place. She lives a life of ignorance, dont be mad, feel bad.

Attatch a sausage to a soneloid and make a capacitive button pusher!

Way better to use your old junk. I like that youre make your own home battery, ive considered it. I have solar installed and would love to not consume grid power at night. I’m thinking of installing a bank of lead acid batteries under my ground mount solar that would dump power into my home at night.

May I ask why 18650? 21700 have better energy density and theyre easier to get these days. The price has also come down a lot.

That’s silly, they really don’t use much power in the grand scheme of things. It uses a lot of power for a very short period, a small blip. Big power consumption comes from things that run often or all the time. It compounds.

Does anyone remember older 747 jets having these types of projectors to show movies on international flights? Always thought it was so cool.

My right nostril prefers Careless Whisper.

My goodness you must have lathered yourself up in stinky THC tar grabbing it like that. Fortunately you have plenty. You must have smelled divine for days.

Thank you for putting into words what ive subconsciously been thinking for years. Every search result prioritizes videos at the top and I’m still annoyed every time. Or even worst I have to hunt through a 10 minute video for the 30 seconds of info I needed. Stoohhhhpppp internet of new! Make it good again!

Tax the offshore engineering and R&D, too. My company plays both these cards with a China office to hire local, cheaper talent plus manufacturing is local so they help domestically on their side. Thats a win. Then they hire tons of Indian H1B for engineering in America.

So, I design battery packs for a living. 115F ambient operating conditions are doable assuming you dont add solar loading. Can you paint your enclosures white? Or cover them? A high quality 18650 will operate fine up to 50C especially with a very light load and a low charging current. Do you have more details on your setup, chipset and average load?
