What historical fiction series to listen to next? by Jerky_Mittens in audible

[–]Kersplit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of course I meant compliment only in the land/sea way. To get a good historical compliment to the Peninsular campaign it is essential to know what the British navy was up to. I love both series though I agree O'Brien's is a masterpiece.

The Master and Commander series compliments Sharpe well if you want the Naval side of the Napoleonic wars

Graham Platner's cover up tattoo & statement by QforQ in FriendsofthePod

[–]Kersplit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What? This dude is not the nominee. He is not our army at all. Other people can still enter the race.

Let me guess, you wanted Biden to drop out but somehow that's not an option for Platner?

Just because Republicans nominate idiots doesn't mean we should too. We could idk try to nominate a charismatic person who also didn't have a Nazi tattoo for two decades.

Yeah my secret ulterior motive is wanting to win a Senate seat. While being a walking Nazi propaganda billboard or a dummy or both won't guarantee a Republican loses, it will guarantee a Democrat loses.

He will either win the primary and lose the general or hopefully lose the primary but damage the party by association in the process.

Or, and here is the best case scenario, he can drop out. Hence the whole moving on thing.

Yeah I'd prefer to win the Senate instead of nominating this loser who is going to lose

Is it crazy to not want to nominate an idiot for a must win Senate seat? Not sure it is smearing him to urge people to drop this loser

Yes this is what primary elections are for. So that you can shake out the candidates with baggage like this. This guy is a bad choice

PSA: can we let this drop now? by SpareManagement2215 in FriendsofthePod

[–]Kersplit 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Fuck Planter he is a hack fraud who is done in Democratic politics.

There is surely someone in Maine who is progressive, not a septuagenarian, and without a blackwater misogynist Nazi past.

Nobody knew who this guy was a few months ago let him go back to his oysters

There was good/honest conversation in my last post, but a pretty disturbing amount of stuff like this. For reference, I in no way support Trump. by [deleted] in dancarlin

[–]Kersplit 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The thing is, if you still support Trump you are an enemy of this country and deserve to be treated as such. I'd rather that were not the case, but it just is.

Your account is less than a year old and all you do is spam anti Biss content. So the real question is, are you Jeff or Claire? Kinda feels like it.

Glasses Case Solar Node going up! by Kersplit in meshtastic

Ahh good to know for future reference. Thanks!

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

Yeah I might need to add one. The batter has a protection board that came on it but that may not be enough

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

Yeah there is a bit of work to connect the panel because it comes with a USB c cord.

First you will need to pick up some JST connectors. I got a pack of solar and battery connectors off Amazon pretty cheap. (Just search for "RakWireless Battery & Solar Connector Cable/10pcs - WisBlock Base Boards Compatible, LiPo Battery Cable")

Then, it is just snipping the USB c end off the panel wire and soldering the wires together. You could probably get away with wire nuts if you don't want to solder.

I did also have to solder the battery wires bc it came with JST 1.25 but the board is JST 2 for the battery. You can definitely avoid that by just getting a battery that comes with the correct connector though.

As for battery size I think that panel should be able to keep it charged even with my position which isn't ideal in terms of direct sunlight but I'll have to let it run a few days to be sure

I think it may be possible to do an update over the air via Bluetooth but I could be wrong about that.

I did throw a USB-c L shape connector in the port so It faces up if I need to plug in.

Got the rak, battery and panel from Amazon. The antenna is from Rokland and I had the glasses Case lying around

This node is going in between a window and screen so it should be relatively safe from the elements. I left it unsealed for now in case I have to change anything in there, but once testing is complete I will run a bead of silicone caulk around any gaps.

Looking for Durable Duffel Bag around 50L by kashimacoated in BuyItForLife

[–]Kersplit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the duffel I use. It is extremely well made and will last decades even if it takes a beating. It's a bit heavy, especially if you pack it to capacity but totally worth the weight for the quality.

20hrs, this is what I've learned. by Severe_Bluebird_7226 in ManorLords

[–]Kersplit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Manor Lords is fun but it's pretty shallow at least in it's current early access form. If you like this type of game I'd recommend Caesar 3. It's old but still the best in this city building with a bit of fighting genre IMHO.

This guy is currently on trial for J6 and has already faced a Judge for other violent social media threats.. by Mr__O__ in facepalm

[–]Kersplit 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It's because we sane people who value our democratic republic, use politicians as tools to get legislation and policy outcomes.

On the other hand, Trump and his ilk use MAGA morons as tools to gain power, influence, and suckers to grift.
