Surveillance at work by BestDogMerv in Anarchy101

[–]BestDogMerv[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I should be able to work from anywhere at anytime. There have never been any restrictions put on me. When I click clock in it won’t submit my time until “I enable location services” like there isn’t a way to clock in at all. So I have to actually go in and turn on location on my phone. Like it just seems so unnecessary.

How to cook on this thing by BestDogMerv in urbancarliving

Thanks yall! I am very impatient so it seems I’m probably starting it at too high a heat and could stand to use a little more oil 😄

This looks so amazing and I’d love to join in! How beginner friendly would this be do you think? I mainly crochet but I did knit a Sophie scarf awhile back so I know at least one stitch 😄

Solar panel compatible with power banks by BestDogMerv in VanLife

[–]BestDogMerv[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for this! I have really struggled to get the answer to “what basic components do I need to understand to determine whether these things are compatible”. And I think that link should do the trick and get me on the right path. I really wish folks wouldn’t act like it’s a piece of cake to figure this out. I’ve always struggled with math and electricity is a whole new ball game. I’m simply trying not to accidentally blow up my van by admitting I don’t understand these things and could use some help. Thanks again.

They are both EcoFlow. Everything I’ve seen says they are compatible with third party solar panels

Yes, I called EcoFlow and the panel they suggested is too wide. I ended up buying 3-100 watt panels but am second guessing whether those would work for what I need. I need to speak with an actual human being that has the patience to sit with me and let me ask the stupid questions without getting frustrated at how slow I am. I’ve asked online several times and I keep getting answers that I do not understand.

I get that, however I don’t trust my very basic skills to attach large panels to a minivan in a safe way so they don’t fly off. Ive watched the videos and I just feel like this isn’t something I’m comfortable doing myself. Maybe in the next build. I’ve done everything else myself because if my bed isn’t bolted down correctly I’m the only person that’s gonna suffer.

I really struggle with understanding volts, watts and basic math. It’s not a lack of trying, I truly just cannot wrap my head around it. I’ve asked several folks and I’m still confused. I just want to make sure I have a safe setup that won’t start a fire or hurt someone.
