I quit washing my hair entirely, after a greasy couple months adjustment it's nicer than any shampoo/conditioner combo I've tried. It's almost like our bodies are self-regulating miracles or something :p

Jesus was a dirty homeless activist with no love for the institutions of his time. Would genuinely fit in better in under any overpass than in any church. Cool dude.

Short watchlists, exclusive clubs, what's the difference? You get onto either one by being cool 😎

Genuinely cannot parse this. 10/10, no notes lol

Looking at the stats on this one, try like halves x(

This bothered me more than it probably should have lol, big advocate of form following function and can't help thinking of all the time and resources that went into making that poor array not work as well :(

Have u seen my hinge???

I disagree with the applicability of that metaphor to infrastructure entirely. It's not a community you're participating in, it's a tool. Abandoning that tool to the worst of us to prove you're not one of them is self defeating.

I remember people making this same argument but for social media, doesn't make any more sense now than it did then. Corpos are the ones in control of that tool, using it helps them so much more than it does you. If you don't want to support the ideology that developed it, you really need to just not engage.

Seconding gnucash, there's modern stuff that's slicker but nothing that works better imo

For me firearm ownership is about responsibility and independence. If you're going to eat meat, you should participate in the process and understand what it means. If you don't trust the state with a monopoly on violence, you should be a part of distributing that power as widely as possible. Guns are one of the most powerful tools in the modern world, and I value them for the same reasons I value my drill or computer: they expand my capabilities.

There's a single payphone still standing at the end of the road in the town nearest me. It was disconnected when I found it, but I got phreaky and hooked it back up + bypassed the coin mechanism. Mostly out of nostalgia, partly for the love of fixin' stuff :)

Challenging and confusing, I imagine. Traditionally "romantic" gestures give me the ick and I end up pushing away anyone who displays that kind of interest. I want to be comfortable and cozy together, not put on a pedestal and certainly not worshipped. The idea of being the center of someone's world is terrifying, we need to be a good part of each others. I'm also pretty self-reliant and most people seem to need to feel needed, so...

tl;dr cat person

The only exception I'm aware of to all fridges having a compressor is propane models. There's a vessel they heat to build pressure in its place, and sometimes an (incredibly inefficient) electric mode where a resistive heater acts on that vessel. They're very uncommon, pretty much exclusively used off-grid, and in no way specific to the US.

Hey there, the other answer you got was wrong enough for me to register and chime in. There's no such thing as a BMS for lead acid batteries and no way to interact with their internal cells. What you're looking for is called a charge controller, it'll have bulk absorb and float stages just like your solar. As a rough rule of thumb, the amperage of your charger shouldn't exceed your batteries capacity in amp hours, slower is easier on them (but more run time on your genset so...)

The simplest and most common way to go is with an inverter/charger combo, I've never shopped for a standalone charger and don't have a specific reccomendation. You can totally get away with using a car battery charger though, especially if you're mostly using solar, and they are much cheaper. You can even use a welder, as long as you can set it to ~28.8v and an appropriate amperage (and put it on a timer, obviously won't step down on its own). My neighbor's using a charger from an old scissor lift, ~$200 on ebay, 25A/600w

If you got followup questions or more details on your setup I'm happy to help, good luck out there
