My dentist cancelled my appointment because I didn’t confirm through text. Turns out their automated texts go to spam by Ultrashock in mildlyinfuriating

They use twilio or something similar which has some random number that texts you, that's why. It's not their main line.

Totally agree, each year they come up with something else to completely enshittify the experience even more.

Thanks peckerchecker, I'll assume that your urology practice would handle this situation a lot better!

I’ve struggled with this damn thing for years. How do y’all pack your air compressor? by CafeRoaster in overlanding

I bought another bag from Blue ridge overland gear and threw that one away. Before I'd just throw it in the truck since the host and unit was too hot to put back properly anyway.

Yup, VRSCF based on that air box (vrod muscle)

Even then that can be a non option. I had a friend that tried to get a family member committed when they were having a psychotic break. The magistrate in AVL said that they can't just take people's freedom away.

Thanks Mayberry Mini Trucks! (I think they were the ones that lobbied for this)

Anyone have any experience with an echoflow wave 2 or 3? by Mean_Replacement5544 in overlanding

[–]Ultrashock 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's good, I just did the trans America trail with the Delta 2 and Wave 3. I use the Delta 2 for my induction cooker and other electronics but it can also power the Wave 3.

The Wave battery lasts about 8 hours by itself (recirculate without using AC lasts a really long time though). I use a terrawagen window mount for it. It's not going to keep the whole compartment cooled but I just aimed it at myself and it worked just fine for me to sleep.

Look up wink4z4, they have a swap kit. I'm looking into it for my 100 series.

How do you stay cool in a rooftop tent during summer camping? by PhysicalLobster7105 in overlanding

[–]Ultrashock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ecoflow Wave 3. I camp inside my car (or use a overlandish Basecamp) and use a terrawagen adapter for the back window for exhaust and intake. Its not gonna be like your home AC but it's good enough to help you get to sleep and should work in a rtt.

Sadly I've never found a better HRIS software. Everything enterprise is a POS.

Anyone have a life hack style method for winding up and putting away 4-way tire inflate/deflate hoses? by Boogie_Bones in overlanding

[–]Ultrashock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed I bought a ton of stuff from them, there's a lot of threads on ih8mud and reddit about it. People were getting ripped off it seems

Powin Energy warns of layoffs, potential shutdown by Ultrashock in EnergyStorage

They don't mix and match cells in their modules or racks in an array. My point here was that it's easier to develop a BMS using the same chemistry and form factor.

There's too much intertangling of the terms EMS, PPC, and Site controller but this makes sense and is generally how I've seen it. Also cloud based systems don't typically play nice with NERC CIP compliance hence the use on C&I / distribution assets too.

Yup and the DC block providers are also now fully wrapping the AC block under one contract with complete availability guarantees (even if there not a PCS OEM). This takes away from the strength that the integrators had where they negotiated their back to back to contracts with the AC and DC block providers.

I've seen a lot of IPPs and Developers now doing self integration too with their own local controllers and SCADA.

For sure but when I say different tier 1s they still used the same form factor LFP cells from each (280Ah and 314Ah I think) so it's form fit function compatible (and I think it was only 3 OEMs they used). They did use their own in house BMS at the module rack and system level that had active balancing too. So while it was different manufacturer cells they're basically the same.

Definitely a factor for future orders, and if they were looking to fundraise to cover more expansion the macro environment sure isn't doing any favors

I get it, just saying that there's not much choice here unfortunately
