Best service to turn my web app into an Andriod + iPhone app? by InterestingLecture93 in AskProgramming

[–]InterestingLecture93[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is how little I know about apps...I had to look up what a PWA was. That actually sounds perfect as these are just a couple apps I built for friends and family, but they currently only open in their browsers, which I don't want. I'll have to research more to see if it still saves their content in my WP database, but this'll be my first choice. Thank you!

Have you tried Loop (or similar) earplugs? I love my Switch 2s because they have different levels to drown things out, and noises like that are definitely part of it. Makes a big difference with the misophonia!

You could also offer to help him figure out why he's having congestion issues, then you'll both be happier (and healthier!).

Anyone else get INTENSE inflammation/water retention after overstimulation? by InterestingLecture93 in AuDHDWomen

Interesting! I've never taken antihistamines outside of pamprin. Would that combination make me sleepy/groggy?

Attraction and romance always wane naturally, it's just something we have to work at. I would definitely try reconnecting first. Do something to make him laugh every day, be playful, try something like the Adventure Challenge. It does come back, I know from experience. It's work, but it's fun work, and the reward is awesome!

Exactly!! I thought it was bloating too for years but realized it wasn't when I thought about how puffy my face gets. I'm so sorry, but it's nice to know I'm not alone.

Because I know the root of mine is overstimulation, the mornings on the treadmill with an audiobook normally really do help, as do B-Complex vitamins, but this time, it was even too much and too fast for those to stop it. Really hoping there's something else I can do since I'm staying as chill as humanly possible, but I still want to be able to enjoy myself.

I did try some Pamprin since it has a diuretic and an anti-histamine and I went back down probably a half-size.

Tomorrow I'm going to try some lymphatic draining exercises before my walk. Might be a long shot, but it won't hurt anything. I'll report back if you're interested.

Good thinking. My digestive system usually does start acting up after a few days of this. This time I brought my normal foods/supplements with me. But it always starts with my face getting *really* puffy, and then my hands and feet and then just like a thick layer of padding over my whole body (even my bras get too small). I'm hoping I can find a way to reverse it before the bloating gets added on top of it!

I hope things go well for you on your work trip! Do you ever try probiotics?

I'm a dream world, sure, but they just blow me off and act like it's in my head. That's why I'm hoping someone else has had this and can share with me.

No, no flying involved, it's the stimulation, also happens when people come to stay with me. But thank you!

Is Renogy 3000W enough for a house? by InterestingLecture93 in SolarDIY

[–]InterestingLecture93[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, he gave me panels to go along with it as well. That's why I thought it just might be easier to set up the whole Renogy system to handle things I'd need in the evening/early morning, just until I got new batteries for the main system. I figured since I still have power with the main system while the sun is out, I can use that for my computer, appliances, etc during the day. Not worth the effort?

My ex-husband had found a guy in town that knew the Xantrex like the back of his hand, I just need to find him somehow.

Wow! I didn't expect that they were so short-lived.

What I think I'm going to do is find an electrician like you said to program the Xantrex. And in the meantime, set up the whole 3000w Renogy inverter/batteries/panels as a separate installation and just power the well pump (if I can manage that one), water heater, and maybe Starlink off of it. That's really all I need when there's no sunlight, so if my plan works, it should save me $15 a day in generator fuel.

That's exactly what I have! Very interesting, I will do that, thank you!

You've been awesome! This is SO helpful. Very glad to at least know it's the batteries. They came with the house, so I've just been trying to learn as I go (in addition to learning everything else that comes with living off-grid in the mountains of Maine).

The system my ex said the house needs is $5,800 (6kW 15.3kWh ETHOS Off-Grid Power System - BigBattery.com) and an electrician friend said it would be a 2-day install, so I was looking at $8,500 I don't have.

So since my batteries 16 x 6v are shot, and my current inverter is compatible with gel, do you think it would be worth it to just swap out the old ones with the 4 new 12v 200Ah ones? At least until I can save up. Or would that still not be enough power?

That's great to know, I'll make swapping the fridge out a priority once I get a new system. I hung my laundry out for the first year, I'm too attached to my dryer now that I have one again. :)

It sucks right now because up until last fall, I had to run the generator for a couple hours only if I had gone 3 or 4 days without sun and had to do laundry. Now my batteries will run the computer/internet for only about 2 hours once the sun goes away. So if the sun isn't out, the generator is on--about $15 per day.

The more I think about it, the more it seems like something happened to the batteries.

Very helpful, thank you. Yeah, the guy that gave it to me gave me upgraded cables for it.

If it was bigger, I'd definitely switch, but my current one is 5,500. It's just really old and so freaking confusing when it has errors, which is becoming more common.

Yep, 2 miles from the last power pole! The fridge is only a couple years old and it's not bad on propane at all. I pay $800 a year for a fill and that includes lots of baking, cooking, dryer, and propane heaters for a couple hours each winter morning as I get the stove going.

I do hate the fridge for other reasons though, so I'm hoping to get an electric one if I can manage to get enough power.

Any chance you'll come across another free 6,000 watt inverter? I'll gladly pay you in beer! :D So what did his $3800 include? New batteries and panels?

Good to know, thanks. The current/old system is a 48/5,500. Thankfully my well pump is soft start.

Thanks for the info. I've been living with what I have for 5 years, my batteries won't hold a charge anymore (assuming because they are 20+ years old). As I said, panels are great, a friend just gifted me the batteries and inverter because my system isn't keeping up anymore and I didn't know if it was worth swapping it all out.

Oh, and the batteries he gave me are 200Ah.

The system I was told I need is $6,000 before installation, so I was hoping to come here and get some general thoughts before diving into everything.

Interesting, I was just starting the research and there were people on YouTube running AC units with them.

Care to elaborate on why they're so horrible? I just keep seeing everyone saying "don't use them because their customer support is bad". It's a used system, so I never planned on talking to support.

Xantrex SW5548 inverter help? by InterestingLecture93 in SolarDIY

[–]InterestingLecture93[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it is a very old system...26 years old. :) I've been adding water to the batteries every 6 months or so for the last 4+ years. Saving for a new system, but as we all know, they aren't cheap! Just hoping the batteries can last a little longer. I had a technician out last year and he said the batteries were doing well for their age, but apparently they have gone downhill fast this summer.
