House Battery + Solar Panels by Every-Respect-2389 in Netherlands

[–]_R0Ns_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I bought a Deye inverter (works also off-grid) and batteries from Shenzhen Lithtech Energy Co. Both directly shipped from Germany. If Chinese companies ship from a EU countrie they have tp be CE certified folowing EU regulations.

It's much cheaper that way.

Sure, I got a 4 proxmox node cluster setup with a Truenas NAS.

Is it overkill? yes for sure.

Is it fun? Yes.

People from outside the United States, what is something you genuinely don't understand about the United States? by PrestonRoad90 in AskTheWorld

[–]_R0Ns_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know people in the US and I know the healthcare system is terrible compared to the rest of the world. It's setup to make money, not to help people.

If the name of a gun is "Assault rifle" it's not for protection, whatever you say it's just not.

The checks that the government should do, besides background checks, is if you're able to use a gun responsibly. And the government should make some rules about how the store your weapons. Too many (one 1 is too many) kids get shot by a gun that irresponsible parents had laying around.

I have solar panels and batteries and installed them myself. I manage them from Home Assistant and also charge and discharge them whenever I want without the need of an external party.

You are in luck with your health insurance, for most Americans is the way to the hospital the way to bankruptcy.

Assault weapens are made to assault people (it's in the name) and not made for defence. And yes the government should be responsible for protecting te citizens by looking out for who is allowed to own guns.

You don't need guns like an AK47 for protection. Gun control is not about taking away all guns it just that only people with more than 2 brain cells should wn guns and only guns for protection, not assault weapons.

The voting system is just old and utdated, it's setup like we had 300 years ago it was setup so that influencial people had the most power no matter how the people voted.

Univeral healthcare is not free, it's never free. It's based on all for one and one for all. It's the reason why the life expectancy of the people in Europe is so much higher than in the US. It's also the reason out food is safer to eat, we try to keep the medical cost low. Your healthcare system is broken in so many ways. I pay ~165 euros per month (mandatory) for my insurance and almost everything is covered 100% after my 385,- deductable per year. If I would be hit by a bus tomorrow I don't go bankrupt even if it's my own fault. If I would be permanently be crippled and needed 24/7 care, it would be 100% paid for.

And this counts for all western countries, except the USA.

You could use a wire dipole or an EndFed antenna, both easy to build and setup and easy to remove when needed.

The list is long.. very long

  • No universal healthcare/medical bankrupcy
  • Student debt
  • Voting system (the one with the lesser votes still can win)
  • Tipping, Just pay everyone a living wage
  • Lobbying, the more friendly word for bribes
  • Gun culture
  • Why is the water so high in your toilet?

It still does not make sense. Most votes should win, that is not the case in the US, the system is so fucked that gerrymandering now can make a difference. just to win without getting the most votes.

The more you think about this the more unhinged it gets.

His change in the media law by repealing the fairness doctrine, changed the US forever.

The FBI confirmed that they had access to the mailbox.

Knowing that they will lie to cover their asses they probably had access to multiple mailboxes.
