So you mean 30 watts pr panel? This is s 100 watts setup that Amazon delivers. Half of your panels and portable. It costs a bit more, but not much.

I can get one panel that gives me 30 watts for the same price : https://eur.vevor.com/solar-panels-c_13594/vevor-30w-12v-solar-panel-battery-charger-solar-battery-trickle-charger-maintainer-with-built-in-smart-controller-3-connection-cables-ip67-waterproof-portable-for-rv-car-motorcycle-boat-van-camper-p_010231793059

This is 50w for half your price ( seems too good to be true almost) https://www.amazon.com/Monocrystalline-Portable-Foldable-Charger-Camouflage/dp/B0DDQGKGQ1/

Im not saying these are the best. Im saying 30w is very low these days and og you want a post apocalypse setup, 30w claimed it's not 30w given and there are better options out there for similar-ish price

This claims to be 250w(!) with one flexible panel and controller...! https://www.joom.com/nb/products/68f8ddd4ed3bfa014c61a351

I seriously need to upgrade mine!!!!😆 I have portable double panel that is 10+ years old and should give 75w, but i get max 35 from it. Im sure i need to update some wiring to thicker cables. It cost me about 5 times your setup.

The only reason he's polling low numbers is because the unnecessary war in Iran is pushing gas prices up. If he hadn't done that, I don't believe he would be polling this low. Which means he fumbeled it. And the voters didn't care until it cost them their wallet.

My god, this whole ongoing SS ICE fuckery should have gotten some use of the 2nd amendment...!

It's one thing to have other smells than what you are used to, but just because you don't smell your own body odour doesn't mean everyone else doesn't. If you struggle to shower more than once pr week, or just sweat a lot, you need to realize and implement a shower when meeting other people rule.

I'm not saying you have to shower every day. I'm just saying if you struggle to shower for yourself, make it a rule to shower for others.

If you say fuck others, they can swim in my stink, then you can fuck off from these events or accept people making comments about it.

I believe a golf club is an everyday object, yet i am not sure more people have golf clubs than they have shotguns. They could. I do not know.

Regarding penis and warnings about them, I think it's mostly about "this is a picture you should not open in a work setting", and not "you could feel triggered by seeing this". And it gives an excellent thought experiment - if a rape victim is triggered by a picture of a penis, flaccid or erect, should a picture of a flaccid penis have a trigger warning?

I believe it should not. But it could have NSFW marked, as many offices frown upon displaying large images of genitalia in your cubicle.

Meaning I do not believe content warnings as a whole should be abolished, but some trigger warnings should not exist.

No. We can't have trigger warnings for everything as there is always someone who might be triggered by something. Real or fake.

Some triggers can be universally agreed upon.

It is of course horrible that you have had experiences that can cause discomfort from seeing a picture, reading a book, watching a film. I do not know your backstory.

I do however have my own experience feeling discomfort from a seemingly "normal" thing. My father died and in order to get my mind off this event I went to watch (I believe) Bad Guys 2 where there is a scene where dead bodies were used to smuggle cocaine. It was I a humorous setting as most Will Smith movies are. I didn't care for it then and felt discomfort - even though Weekend at Bernie was hilarious when I watched it 15 years prior.

My point is right as I felt discomfort and was triggered, I simultaneously understood that everybody else in the cinema at the same time I was there did not feel this way. It was a unique experience for me at that point in time. I can't expect everyone else to walk over eggshells around me, especially if they do not know me.

A former colleague of mine was after 10 years as a widow still triggered if someone mentioned something in the vicinity of drowning as this was his horrible death. It was obviously difficult for her, but to expect colleagues (new and old) to never mention something that could trigger her for 10 years is over the top. As horrible as it is. People die, and you have to work on it. You can't expect the rest of the world to do the work for you.

Which circles back to you. We can't have trigger warnings on everything because you have had a horrible experience. You have to work on it. We do not. Especially as we do not know you.

For you its guns. For someone else it could be an axe. Or powder or a large syringe. Or a bottle of whisky. Everyday objects can't have trigger warnings.

A shotgun is an everyday object, even if the barrel in the picture is pointing towards you. I think most objects or topics should not have trigger warnings, but that's a different topic.

But I do hope you get better and help to deal with your triggers. Best of luck!

This post meg me into a small but interesting rabbit hole of scurvy, scar tissue and collagen.... Really interesting and I didn't know scar tissue sucks so much compared to regular skin ...!

I know. So the reason we are seeing this is not that the algorithm is shit, it's because there's laws in place to protect us.

Meaning if we stop seeing this, then we should be worried! 😄😄😵‍💫

If you define economics as have and have-not, they obviously had economics. Who are he to tell us that bartering didn't happen on any scale within a tribe of cro magnom.

I think the point being is that economics is a large scale class system with fairly complex structures. There's always been have and have-nots. Just look at a pride of lions on how they distribute the feeding based upon ranks within the pride. It's not economics, but it's s class based system with distributed means (i.e access to food).

So maybe all of nature is oppress or being oppressed in a way. We just industrialised it.

My problem (and many others I guess) is that i won't remember Pat or Kelly the next time. And the next time. And the next time etc etc. Especially if I only see her ever so often. No chance to remember special pronouns beyond what gender they present. He/she/him/her is relatively easy (but not always...) them/they or anything else they prefer seems overly complicated in a social setting.

But if I remember the name and intentionally use others to taunt you, then yes, I would be a cunt. And I try not to be one...

If they act like cunts, we should call them cunts. But I totally understand that's not possible in all situations, like when you have a person in power cunting all over you.

I understand the desire to have people use your pronouns, and as long as one can see what gender you are "presenting", one should use those pronouns.

If someone prefers other pronouns, then I'm sorry... Many people (me included) have a hard time remembering names... I wouldn't have a chance remembering a large set of different pronouns if I can't even remember the names of that person. A pronoun is a non specific way of addressing someone and a break life saver like "you"...

To to switch to an all inclusive them/they for everybody seems overreaching.

If it's not obvious what pronouns someone prefers, then they shouldn't be annoyed if someone makes repeatedly mistakes.

And this makes it hard to distinguish a mistake from an insult...
