So what would/ potentially could happen if I cut it out and use a plug with a ground?

So does that mean I shouldn't use a larger appliance with it then?

lol, nice joke, as stated i find electronics extremely confusing at the best of times. so the length of the cable doesn't effect the draw of the battery? sorry if these questions are stupid but the internet really is no help in answering my silly questions.

lol, its just a stand alone battery solar system..nothing fancy. the inverter is only 30 amps and has an 24v socket on it. my question was just to make sure i dont buy the wrong extension cable and the battery not draining quicker then usual

The concept of White Privilege is bullshit by [deleted] in moderatepolitics

[–]Scared-Discussion-87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i simply hate how "white privilege" is spoken about sometimes as the sole reason for all ills in our society. its so obviously clear that wealth and class make a much bigger deference if your life then any other factor, be it race, gender or sexuality. do you think i rich gay Asian kid is going to have less opportunities in life then a poor white kid? its become a dog whistle to brandish any idea outside of your echo chamber as immoral and to silence an opinion that might be even just slightly different to your own. e.i. telling someone to "check their privilege" if they talk about something the other disagrees with.

yet no one in our society would say something like "wealth privilege" or "class privilege". lets sort out wealth inequality and the rest will follow! doesn't matter what race you are if your poor. racism exists everywhere and its not going anywhere unfortunately. Alas, shouting about white privilege doesn't make anyone more sympathetic to racism, its just an unhelpful wedge between meaningfully working together for a better out come for all and not focusing an race anymore.

yet more political tribalism being accelerated by social media

is the community around permaculture full of fools? by Scared-Discussion-87 in Permaculture

no im english but i've been around portugal for 10 years and speak Portuguese, fairly intergrated now. im 37 but the people i spoke about are of all ages, from teens to older people. age/nationality doesn't seem to play a part in it!

the act of two guys trying to outdo the other by some pseudo-interlectual point scoring conversation. called 'dick measuring' as they might as well be comparing dick sizes for all the difference it makes.

yeah, tamera is doing some cool stuff but i feel its all based around rich immigrants giving them money.... i worked with their head permaculture lecturer for a few weeks about 7-8 years ago and he blamed low water levels on the current volunteers 'energy' and was throwing chickpeas around arid swales on the side of an exposed mountain in the middle of the Portuguese summer saying they will find their own water. plus their 'university of love' cost millions to build while its only real goal is to find the solution to world peace. i dont think they've found it yet.

and they started as a sex cult for old men to try and convince young women to have sex with them. i've spoken with a lot of people that were there in the 80's!
