The straps have so many uses!

I should note that the anchors need serious structure, even more so if any swinging is planned.

If it needs to be tight, Robertson or Torx is the only way. The benefit of Robertson over Torx is that it is pretty much immediately clear if the bit fits properly or not. I have stripped too many Torx that were in a place that required a human with an extra elbow and a second wrist to reach, that I thought were t20 but were t25, for example. I keep thinking I’ve learned my lesson.

I keep meaning to buy sets of Phillips, Pozi, and JIS, but never manage to time a stripped screw with a tool sale.

The only thing worse than + is -, and even that is situational.

The US government made several deals with some inhuman characters after the war. Yes, the science was (potentially) valuable, because there is no way that a moral human would perform the experiments, but granting immunity may have been too much. It’s past time that these people are recognized for what they are.

I had a smart car for a while. I wish they had caught on, but they were seriously hampered by price and the goddamn transmission was indescribably bad. 1 person car is great and all but by the time you’ve got cargo space, a second seat is reasonable.

Just sounds like some rust on the brakes to me idk. If your bad alignment is making a noise, it doesn’t make noise for long.

There are ducted mini split systems that may be useful to you.

Pushing (or pulling) air from an existing duct system is not a great path forward, as balancing the flow is challenging and critical. For example, if you could plumb the mini split into your circulator, what happens if they’re both on at the same time? The mini split could frost over. And if the circulator isn’t on, you could be back-flowing the air intake of the circulator.

If you’ve moved or renamed files, it will break the seed; as far as the client is concerned, the file no longer exists. If the seeding app hasn’t noticed, it hasn’t done a check of the files and/or hasn’t tried seeding them. The other thing to try is to point it one level up or down from where you “think” the data is.

Gonna be tough with no feet. If you have a place to hang some rings they’re cheap and you can do a bunch of stuff with them. If you can do an unloaded squat, in volume, that opens a lot too.

Fuck JavaScript in all its forms.

Ok, in a browser is fine. But HARD pass on electron and all this bullshit

JK Rowling is a piece of shit, but these actors are kids. Let’s keep that in mind.

The simple approach is a LiFePO4 battery bank with a charge capacity (A) and charge controller that is appropriately matched to your generator’s output. Fire up the generator to run heavy draw appliances such as electric stove, or when batteries are low.

It’s somewhat frustrating to me when I’m running the generator to charge my laptop and run internet (150w) and the thing is rated to 5kw. Worse yet if you were running only lights. This can be mitigated, somewhat, by having an inverter generator which responds to load.

There’s many problems with a UPS:

1. UPS are designed to handle short term load. That is, a brief power interruption as a cable is relocated, or the time between an outage and the generators starting. Therefore, even if it has the capacity to run the home in current, it’s not likely to have the batteries behind it
2. UPS usually charge very slowly after discharge.
3. A UPS sized for a home - even off-grid cabin - is going to be obscenely expensive.
4. UPS usually use lead-acid batteries which, while by far the cheapest option, lag behind lithium based alternatives significantly in terms of depth of cycle, cycle count, and charge/discharge current.

Depending on your projected load, those “solar generators” may be a good fit. Ecoflow, for example, has a “smart generator” which hooks up to their inverter/battery pack and fires up when the battery is low. You can easily connect some solar panels as well. However, if you consider your money worth more than the ease of use or you need capacity exceeding what is readily available, there’s more affordable solutions.

Personally, unless you have a strong need for it, I would strive to find a solution using solar generation as the primary source, with the generator only providing backup. It’s regrettably the “expensive” option.

There’s a buoy that is supposed to mark where channels join (not shown in the link), but they’re not in use in my area. The channels are a bit like a side road joining up with a curve in the main road, except being a channel the buoys aren’t exactly dense. So, in my case, i can travel in a straight line and the markers switch sides. I remember that one, but there’s another three that are similar in nature that I don’t get to frequently and have to think about. The added fun is that the are is a bunch of channels in a pile of rocks (islands) in a body of water; it’s not like I’m travelling up or down a river.

I have charts, but that would be cheating. also worth observing that the area is not dangerously busy.
