I love this idea. It's like the old kirby vacuums that did a little bit of everything.

No reason it wouldn't work, look at kitchenaid mixers. It's a motor. With all the attachments to do any and every job in a kitchen except washing the dishes

Whelp, better late than never:

Hit skoolie.net.

Vast repository pf knowledge, kinda hokey to search through, but very much worth it.

The skoolie subreddit is also good, but a lot more show-off and less helpful.

My direct answer to your question: Be a good mechanic, or have one on your crew. I bought my current at auction, for a good price, but gotdamn did the shop in charge of it cock some shit right up.

Fortunately, I am a fucking mechanic, so while it's obnoxious and expensive, I can just deal with 98% of the problems that arise my goddamn self, and don't have to second-guess if the shop is fucking me over

The memory of the medics explaining it to me is a little hazy, due to the heat injury. Something about potassium ion channels?

I'm a mechanic, not a medic, so I haven't the knowledge base to know what that means, I just recall them saying things like sour patch kids are basically magic, because they do a thing the vast majority of electrolyte stuffs don't

It's older, but I recall liking Earth 2 quite a bit

Stay the fuck away from me, and anyone you see having a medical emergency

And they are adding, fast. Far faster than we are. That goal of nearly ten percent solar in less than two years?

That's not only fucking amazing, that's achievable, and they're on target for it.

As cheap as panels and controllers and batteries have gotten? It's only getting better.

Free electricity. From the fucking sky. Magic is real. You can play xbox with it

How many comorbidities do you have

What's really crazy is how fucking Good all those microphones are.

I've been using alfredcam to utilize old phones and tablets, and holy shit they can hear so well.

Like the k88, an ancient tablet that was useless when it came out, foisted upon at&t users. The mic on it will pick up conversations clear as a bell OUTSIDE my house

Shit's fucked, yo

What the fuck

I want to know more

So I have a solar setup-older panels, like 15 years old. They can be 3/4 obscured by a building or whatever, and still make 85% of what they're rated to.

Which is fucking awesome. Right now, they're covered in so much dust I can see the 'clean' spots where the morning dew condensed on them, and they're still kicking 20 amps, about 15 more than I actually need.

Daily cleaning? Way excessive. Monthly? Maybe, probably less. Not a whole lot going on in between rails.

I'd be way more worried about tweakers trying to steal the wiring
