The cycle:

Step 1: (as a child) "wow this movie was great, I love Greek stuff!"

Step 2: learns a ton about Greek mythology over the next many years due to interest sparked by the movie

Step 3: (likely as a teenager or older, re-watching it one day) "holy shit this movie is absolutely nothing like Greek mythology, why did I ever think it was good..."

Oooh, nice interrobang.

At full sun in winter, I get enough power to charge a battery in about 4 hours.

With pedal assist, I get about 6-7 hours of cycling.

Adding in the trailer weight and terrain/clouds depending, the roughly 1200w of power are more than enough to keep me going during daylight.

That guy needs to use a better panel, and lighter trailer. I've seen people who do exactly what I'm wanting to do. Checking the comments, people are more or less saying the same thing.

I disagree with his assessment, but I do like his style, so thanks for introducing me to a new channel!

I've got some 300w solar panels, a couple electric bikes, and extra batteries I've been wanting to hook up on some kind of trailer to give myself effectively unlimited range.

I'm sure whoever finds my stash after the world ends will enjoy it since I'll probably be dead.

Yes, but now they can't say they didn't know it was in there.

And they can't say "I voted for it because the rest of the bill does good for _____"

So it would help prevent them from keeping their mask on

And as we all know, if the military goes without approved funding limits, it completely breaks down and becomes useless overnight.

Sure would be nice if every single citizen of the united states gets to personally bitch slap every member of congress, presidential cabinet, vp, pres, etc... When a completely unrelated thing gets shoved into a bill.

There is 0 reason an (hypothetical) infrastructure bill for new sprinklers in hospitals needs to include a provision that Wisconsin dairy farms get a new milking machine. Those two things have nothing to do with each other. So why are they in the same bill.

If you want it to be a bill, put it in its own separate proposal.

My favorite part of control is how they go into juuuuuuust a little bit of explaining how things work in a science way, and sometimes you can almost feel how things are connected, and then it's like "Yeah we have no fucking clue how any of this actually works, we're just trying to keep it all from destroying the universe and keeping notes along the way."

And then you meet the next thing that almost makes sense. Until it doesn't.

I don't remember if I ever finished AW but I do believe I have the disk around here somewhere. The control dlc definitely rekindled my interest.

Look, there's a reason you can wire almost any heavy machinery into any random console or wall panel... When you run this much power to every station, exploding panels are gonna happen.

It's either that, or we run our ships like Vulcans, and that's just boring.

My parents don't have flood insurance, but they live on a hill that's about 150ft above the surrounding fields, and roughly 200-250ft above the closest waterway. If their house floods, then society has effectively collapsed in their state.

My sister and in-laws, however, all live within eyesight of the closest river or stream, and maybe 25-50ft above water level inside valleys. My wife's sister's house has had water get up to about 10ft away from the house, and STILL nobody has flood insurance.

SOME people can get away with it. Most can't and don't even realize it.

Control was great

I love games that make me think outside the box
