the stove over to induction next. I hate it when the batteries fill back up by 10am and I waste solar meanwhile I am still buying propane for the appliances.
It’s possible. For the 11 months I’ve been cooking from excess solar power (December is a little short). I still carry propane for heating and a few things that seem to work better over flame.
PDAnet I’ve tethered a laptop to a phone via usb and bluetooth that way. Nowadays I just run my SIM in an LTE router and share the connection via wifi.
hide tether usage if possible
Some solutions involving tweaking TTL.
I ran a FidoNet BBS back then on a 386-16 and 2400 baud modem. Woot! It would run WordPerfect 5.1 while people were logged on to the board but compiling brought it to its knees.
I am reminded of those fuzzy-head drinking bird things.
Murderbot, but I don’t think it could make the transition to film.
I have little dance moves that I like to use when walking around the office. Little turn on heel here, stand on tiptoe there, round the corner in a fluid motion, balance on one leg, little jump, etc.
You might enjoy the 1996 Japanese film Shall We Dance?. The protagonist is taking ballroom dancing lessons in secret but when walking around the office subtle dance-inspired moves creep in. :-)
I am off griding running off solar
This would have been useful to mention in the original post.
just got a bluetti eb3a to manage panel power since
We have very little control over what the solar does with “power stations”. I’d just leave the panels plugged in.
I’ve never done any solar before
manufacturers have zero incentive to make sure their devices treat the batteries well
as long as they survive the warranty period
Title says plugged in and body says plugged in at 100%; these can be separate concepts if one has fine control over the charging voltage.
Will leaving my things plugged in at 100% hurt it more than constantly unplugging at 80% and replugging at 20%?
Plenty of academic research out there showing that pegging Li to 100% SoC reduces cycle counts to EOL (by electrolyte degradation and other processes), especially at higher voltages/temps. You didn’t mention capacity reduction associated with charging at freezing temps so I assume that is a non-issue in your use case.
It seems to me that if leaving it plugged in is an option you have shore/mains/grid power. So I’d
Am I missing something here?
I live offgrid with Li on a very limited budget, so performance and maximal cycle life is a practical matter for me. Based on my own reading and experimentation I charge my 4S LiFePO4 to 13.8v (3.45Vpc) until Absorption falls to 0.10C then quasi-float at 13.31v (3.3275Vpc). I warm them to 50F and charge at ≤0.4C.
Am I just old or is 4GB actually loads or RAM?
First stick I bought was 1MB of SIPP, used, for $50.

Wiki link goes elsewhere. But when I read the summary above it sounded a lot like Hotel Coolgardie. So I looked up the RH wiki article; yup, inspired by that doc.
in the bedroom I’ve gotten two thumbs up multiple times.
gotten them up where?
Grocery discounters exist. They sell expired, distressed (torn labels, box tears, dents), test-marketed foods that failed, overage, etc.
Or see the Manager’s Special section in your favorite supermarket.
I guess I was thinking more prepared/restaurant food.
Check your supermarket deli for discounted foods at the end of their “best by” time.
In the US today, nationalism and religion have become fused and intertwined to the point that some religious leaders are bemoaning their communities following Trump and conservatism and thinking Jesus was a wimp.

What would you say you most enjoy about vaping?
How much e-liquid do you get through in, say, a month?
I don’t remember, it’s been a few years. Maybe a hundred ml?
Have you ever been tempted to try e-liquid containing nicotine?
I had bulk nic for making juice for others. I do not enjoy nicotine and would not take it for recreational purposes. There is some evidence that there are neuroprotective aspects, so had I continued I might have added 0.5mg/ml or something for that purpose.
I stopped because I travel fulltime now and the constant altitude changes caused constant leaking and mess.
Mine does. I finally remembered to log back in and there she is…
Caveat: the hostname had changed; I signed up at lonestar.sdf.org IIRC (no longer extant) and now it is on freeshell.org
Another caveat: I think usernames were truncated to 8 chars in that time period. Don’t know if that’s the case now or not, or if extra chars are thrown away anyhow.
