I really got swept up in the stop trump fever the last 5 years and really forgot about this. For some reason I was convinced they were the good guys.
What do you think can realistically be done, or will likely happen

I’m about to be one of those grads, career changing in my early thirties. Whoops. Got into Berkeley CS so hopefully that carries my foot into a door somewhere
Yeah for sure. You could get an all in one inverter battery bank, but I prefer piecemeal systems because of repairability/replacing parts/upgrading parts.
Basically you’d get a battery, when I was shopping around I found eg4 or gyll batteries to be the cheapest. Small Texas company. That could have changed. Some ppl make their own or use them from a car, but soldering plus making a management system seemed like more than I wanted to deal with.
You need a way to charge the battery (panels etc) and also a way to get the power into the battery safely and efficiently (charge controller).
And then you need a way to get energy out of the battery to your apploances. You can get DC appliances that match your battery voltage or get an inverter.
For all of those parts you need to run some simple calculations for efficiency and compatibility and use case (how big of a system etc), as well as some fuses and possibly lightning arrestors and grounding.
Totally doable and a good bit of fun
I honestly don’t know enough about it but I’m sure there’s a way, maybe get isp’s to flag traffic going to known vpn servers and fine them if they connect users or something like that?
Why, is it impossible or difficult to enforce?
Don’t want them to ban vpns
Cool so it actually sucks, it’s not my incompetence
I use discord but i can’t stand it as a platform for discussion. Forums, even reddit, seem so superior to me as a format for discussion and storing information. Maybe I haven’t figured out discord yet
It’s your duty to vote to stop fascism (again). I’m so tired of that message. They can earn my vote, I’ve tried stopping fascism twice now, what have they done besides maintain the status quo
If we do have a 28 election, surely they’ll have a primary and not just run whoever the leadership picks and proceed to campaign on our civic duty to prevent fascism (every 4 years)
A vasectomy.
Edit: sorry I get it now. I got peace of mind knowing that I was in control of contraception. Not having children means a lot of freedom. So basically freedom and peace of mind.
I am squeamish as all hell. Didn’t think I could do it. There’s a consult. They give you a Xanax, I’d recomme r telling them you’re a heavyweight and get a driver, also recommend to pay the extra 100 bucks for the laughing gas.
It’s over fast. There’s minimal pain. I ordered a jock strap and used it to hold ice packs over my underwear. It’s uncomfortable but I just layed up all weekend. Overall what I got out of it is completely worth it.
I’ll answer any questions you have
I’ve set up an off grid solar system out of necessity. Used to be an electrician so I know a good bit (but not everything by any means). What are your questions I can maybe point you in the right direction.
Based on your initial question, it depends on local zoning. You can likely legally grid tie a set up and have a battery backup. I think if you want to be legal I’d go that route.
If you want I think you could set up a completely separate system in a more sneaky fashion that is completely isolated from the grid / your existing house circuitry. But when grid tying (including into your house circuitry) you have to be pretty safe because that power can go upstream and feed the grid or the house when workers think the power is off, which is obviously very dangerous and could get you in a lot of trouble if it went wrong.
Articles are so much better than videos a lot of the time. I’ll watch a video for kinetic things, like how to flush my radiator etc.
Its annoying when information is in a video that could easily be written out and skimmed.
One data point and I’m American, but figured I’d give my two cents on why I did it.
In addition to all the reasons you listed I think that my own mental health is an obstacle, and also the increasingly limited access to women’s healthcare.
Making the decision to not have kids was a complex issue for me as I imagine it is for others too. Tbh the political and economic climate was probably the final push I needed, but there’s probably at least 10 reasons in total.
Does anybody have any suggestions for alternatives for chats?
I use it a lot for classes (students use them) and video games.
Ah thanks for clarifying, I got mixed up.
I grew up in MS and was detained in county juvenile facilities multiple times. It’s awful.
The place mentioned in that article was one of the places they’d threaten you with, and the rumors about what happened to kids there were terrifying. Thank God I never went to one, the county ones were bad enough. That’s where I found out I didn’t actually have any rights.
Can’t believe he pardoned a judge profiteering off of that shitshow.

Makes sense, I’m in the same boat I don’t have time or energy to start one but I’d join.
For getting started w tactical barbell, do you recommend books etc? Like 531 it seems like there’s a lot to it, any good resources?
