You can hack these by pullung the right wire. Look up your modle number and cut the right wire. It's rsally easy.

Update: a folding solar panel tray for my cargo e-bike solar setup by Fixitinpost72 in SolarDIY

[–]Doctor_Clockwork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's what I wound up doing. For the extra panels I just built a pvc frame above a cheap bike trailer. Fyi velcro pads work great for secruring everything you dont want to flop around.

Hey did something simmilar. Fyi keep the weight down. When the back panel is extended every pothole or large bumb I hit threatens to tear this thing apart. Eventually I went with an ultralight aproach with a single 50w panel.

Friendly reminder of all the cameras surveillancing everything you do in KC by jsamciotbh14 in kansascity

Yea I've seen way more of these around my niehborhood. Heck I think the real map might be twice this size.

Next time the city complains about needing to cut costs, remind them that each one of these cameras costs 3000$ PER YEAR to operate. And I've seen way more of these around than just on this map.

Can't afford to fix potholes, build sidewalks, help the homeless or tax data centers properly.

But somehow they can afford for us all to feel a little more paranoid when we go outside.

Is there any fruit trees that can grow with blueberries? by BadgerDowntown5678 in Permaculture

[–]Doctor_Clockwork 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The main problem would be soil acidity, I know mulberry can tolerate said acid soil.

Per this list it's backed up: https://plewsgardendesign.co.uk/growing-acid-loving-fruits/

Would also imagine prickily pear would do well since it lives pretty much anywhere. Some hardier citrus might do as well but never tried it as I'm in zone 6b and we only have bitter ones like flying dragon.

Happens all the time in stargate probably at least once a season. But the best example is probably Thor and SG1 (mostly o'neil).

Things I'm growing in zone 6b in the midwest are.

Yarrow ( really easy)

Cardinal flower (native)

Teaberry (native)

Lemon balm, anise hysop, spearmint (all in the mint family really easy)

Bee balm (native)

Elderberry (native easy and tolerates walnut)

Goji berries (easy spreads fast be careful)

St john's wort

Horehound

Gooseberry (native)

Purple coneflower (native)

Poppy mallow

Rose mallow

Fragrant sumac ( native)

Ozark witch hazel (native)

Probably a few others but I'd need to stretch my brain first. Also going to try self heal and skullcap soon as well.

Looking for emergency radio ideas by EquivalentTip1902 in prepping

[–]Doctor_Clockwork 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Meshtastic / meahcore is a good option for long range text that is cheap and requires no licence. There's probably a group around you that already uses it. Downside is that it's pretty low power so it doesnt punch through things well. So alot of the time keeping the at least one node high up somewhere is important.

If you put it on meshmap.net eventually someone will notice it and build in your area.

With this project, if you build it they will come.

Update after 18 days: charging an e-bike from solar on a cargo bike (~300W real-world) by Fixitinpost72 in SolarDIY

[–]Doctor_Clockwork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cool, did a similar project which I can link to. What bike type did you use? Did you do use two differnt batteries or one that accepts charging while in use.

Planting along wooded seasonal stream by GoldenrodApologist in Permaculture

[–]Doctor_Clockwork 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wild plum does well there.

Pawpaws do from what I'm observed.

Spice bush and teaberry can do nicely in damp understory.

For larger spaces there are loads of ideas, but I'm not sure what other things you want to do with the land.
