In the last few years, one of these has gone up adjacent to a new solar installation somewhat close to my area. I wish I heard more about them (especially this one I have seen) but I mostly hear about hydropower since that is the primary source we have. I live really far away from any power source and our local power coop has discussed possibly putting one closer to town but nothing has come of it. I think it could be great but am not sure how these things work in a supplementary capacity. Last year our grocer lost many products due to a fire two hours away causing a lengthy power interruption. I think these things could be great for local power but my view is from a rural western US standpoint and probably won't apply to many places.
This was the main reason my mom's side didn't pass language down. Not even food! Just assimilate 🤷♂️ But they were peasants in a new country so best to make it work in the easiest way possible. It sounds like OP has it pretty rough 🙁
Wow, I've only ever seen head shots of Orwell. I had no idea he was that tall. I don't remember him mentioning it in any writings but maybe I wasn't paying enough attention! Literally a head above the rest.
I have been following along here, trying to learn what I can to be an informed buyer for when I try to get into this. Today I learned I have already made an informed purchase 🙂 I want to reprogram my unit just to see if I can change what it does in a loss-of-power event.
I imagine from a developer viewpoint, fiddling with something like this is a nice break 🙂 I have enjoyed the flag parade and accept future flags and the past pie, whichever comes next!
Not that long ago, mushrooms were plants. I mean they weren't, but we hadn't figured that out yet. I hadn't figured it until today what lichen is 😔 but have eaten it!
Thank you for sharing! I had never heard any story on Eskimo, only that it wasn't correct and not to use it. I still won't, but it is helpful to know the background. Stay warm and with vision this winter and spring!
I have this exact feeling when "discussing" this topic with folks that believe a country should be run as a business. It's so misguided! People are residents, not employees, and they shouldn't be able to be fired by the country they are living in. This "firing" does seem to be happening in the US right now, tho 👎
