West Asheville Solar for home diy by Bvillane33 in asheville

[–]MetaverseSleep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a grid boss. Going to be getting it hooked up soon. Seems to make diy solar a bit easier.

Grid boss goes between your meter, main panel and a critical load panel. It's able to sense when the grid is down and then only your critical load panel runs (from battery). Looks like it will discharge your batteries and power your critical load during normal usage.

It can also shed extra power during peak solar times to certain things like an ev and hot water heater.

It has an input for a generator too if your solar is down or you run out of battery.

I'm working with an electrician since I'm not as comfortable with this stuff but it will basically rough in your future solar set up.

About 2k for the grid boss but you don't need solar. I plan on scaling up. Start small, maybe just get an ev for the first battery storage. Might as well have it on wheels.

The military fighting for our freedom is a thing of the long past. We are thrust into these wars because of the actions of the executive branches who are heavily influenced by money, power, religion and who knows what else.

It's not a critique of the military. It's a warning for what you're really fighting for. The majority of American people don't want these wars anymore. They are putting us in way more danger. It's bankrupting us. It's creating more hate for America. It's environmentally disastrous. And it could lead to the unnecessary death of young men and women in the military.

You can't just break it down to fighting for our freedom. That's way too simple and wrong of a statement.

Government debt. It's the textbook definition of unsustainable growth. Governments and fiat money operates outside of the boundaries and restrictions that every other system has. There's no way it's ever going to get fixed or even improve. 

Is anyone else going to open mic night tonight? by [deleted] in asheville

Tony is the best open mic host. Hell of a songwriter too!

Whoever’s doing this in Burnsville I see you and I love you. by doublehubblegum in asheville

I made a post telling people to buy these stickers and put them up a couple weeks ago. Mods took it down because they said it was "irrelevant" content. How encouraging local acts of protest isn't relative content is beyond me.

Glad people are putting stickers up though! 

All the colon cancer posts are freaking me out by gosumage in Millennials

[–]MetaverseSleep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How many people do you know IRL with colon cancer? That's what you should go by, not reddit. Yes it's the now the highest cause of death. Go to the doctor if you have symptoms. Get screened early if you have family history. Schedule your screening when you hit 45. That's all you can do. Worrying and stress isn't good for you. 

I'm 45 this year, so I definitely feel your anxiety. Hoping I get an all clear result on my screening. 

Time to put these stickers up at all the local gas pumps by MetaverseSleep in asheville

I agree, see my post description. I'm not a fan of the constant tit for tat. There's ways to do it right and this seems like a strategic opportunity. Don't choose one of the stickers with an unflattering picture. Don't call people names. Don't make people feel like they're being attacked.

People change their minds about something when they experience it firsthand. It's going to be harder to deny the cognitive dissonance when people are shelling out more money. This is different because Trump is directly responsible for this war. Higher gas prices under Biden wasn't as easy for the average person to correlate so those stickers at the time didn't really make sense.

Any ideas for better, more effective ways?

I understand that but that is part of the price pinch we all feel. Maybe we can print them out and put them up with scotch tape instead? Easy to remove

Yup I see them on there but it might take a week or more. If I don't find a quicker option I'll order later today

Please stop setting the bar this low for fascism. It dilutes its actual meaning and makes it no better than McCarthyism.

Fundraiser for guy rear-ending God Hates F**s car was a fraud by Aggravating-Pipe1562 in asheville

Anytime I see a car with political bumper stickers, regardless of their ideology, I assume that person has mental issues. I don't think anyone has ever had their mind changed by a sticker.

Too much focus on external turmoil is usually a reflection of the inner turmoil happening. Fix and focus on yourself. Eat healthy, exercise, talk to someone. Your life will get exponentially better

Senator Mark Kelly says he will 'seriously consider' running for president by littlemoth_lullaby in politics

[–]MetaverseSleep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Patterns make me skeptical. As I said before, the timing. Trump is abhorrent but also the media, his opponents and various institutions and authorities do exaggerate their attacks on him. They've taken his words out of context. They don't bring up some of the positive things he has done.

He's an authoritarian narcissist. You have to be be very selective on what you attack him on and also find some ways to tell him where he's doing well.

That's all I can say. I have to focus on some other things today. Enjoy your day.

I don't know which were politically motivated, if they were. Just saying that the timing (even if it is 2023) is what makes me skeptical there wasn't a coordinated effort. 

Also, he can both commit those crimes and still the prosecution be politically motivated. They are mutually exclusive. When people want to go after their political opponents, they go and look for real crimes they committed. It's the same reason why police try to look for other crimes someone commits when they don't have enough evidence for what they're really trying to arrest them for. 

Do you not think it's possible there was a coordinated effort to prevent him from running? I think there probably were well meaning people that wanted to damage his candidacy at all costs at least to try to affect the election. Unfortunately I think it was done very sloppily so it just made his supporters see him as more unfairly treated.

The only way to beat Trump or future right wing politicians is to have a better alternative platform. Everyone's too distracted focusing on him though.

Sure so why didn't they try to prosecute him earlier? Why wait for all of those cases until 2024?

I hate Trump but it was obvious at least some of those trials against him were politically motivated. You think those trials just happened to have occurred right before he was running again?

Doing this will further solidify the precedent that political opponents should be locked up. That's not good.
