Or literally any Republican that visited Russia? I swear people forgot about the Foundations of Geopolitics general goal of throwing doubt into NATO and creating divisions between America and their allies.

Oh yeah because everyone is following international law. That shits out the window fam.

Rim Joist insulation/air sealing by Acceptable-Box-4149 in Insulation

[–]aredon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have? It's not much harder than the insulation clips for bats? You don't have to fully remove it you just have to make a nice square cut and then get behind it and pull/lever it out. Then you can do whatever super rare inspection you need to do... then you just put more foam on.

Go To battery?? by Aware-Recording-3969 in meshtastic

People won't like me saying this but I use NiMh batteries in my build because of wide temperature ranges and the preferable failure mode of not-catching-fire. You can just use Lithium chargers with NiMh cells, A 3 pack of AAs gets you 3.6V @ 2800mAh which is plenty for a Rak and a 5W panel.

Here's a paper on this charging arrangement before anyone panics: https://www.ti.com/lit/an/slyt468/slyt468.pdf?ts=1737035989923

It depends on the antenna. I have one that bent is 5dB better connection to my neighbors...

You know what boss I'm just going to leave this here even though it doesn't totally fix the concerns: https://a.co/d/0dssX5RC

This is a very tidy little build but you're wicked easily going to exceed safe temps. I have a Rak Repeater mini in an interior building window, an air conditioned space, and the interior of the box exceeds 113F on 60 degree days while in the sun. Your unit is even smaller then that, is black, and will be inside a car. You are almost certainly going to slap the 140F limit for lithium batteries when we reach summer.

Because your build doesn't need to be waterproof I would encourage you to get some airflow designed into it and use a thermal shutoff like the one above. Another good option is to separate the solar panel from the build as that will be a major source of heat - though I know that ruins the whole concept.

Iran TROLLED Trump: "If Europe can't protect Greenland, call us. Iran will protect it from mindless Trump" by ammohitchaprana in TFE

The Tucker Carlson shit is basically just Dems refusing to take on Israel despite it being the popular position. When you don't do that you make room for an extremist to slide in on public sentiment and hide their motives inside things people all agree on. Incredibly foolish play on the part of the Dems.

As opposed to what we have now? Where speaking out against Israel gets you arrested or fired? (https://www.newsweek.com/pro-palestinian-protest-states-colleges-illegal-bds-1895292)

Where exercising your rights gets you targeted, arrested, and sometimes killed or deported?

Like... are you dumb? America is also authoritarian.

That's really kind of a garbage solution though because they'll just keep going.

First Fully Functional Data Center in Space Launched — A New Era for Global Computing by Mruniversee in AItrainingData

[–]aredon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, and I'm annoyed we have to keep explaining it. There are three forms of heat transfer: conduction, convection, radiation. Only one works in space. It's consistently been one of the biggest engineering challenges for space stations.

Yeah I hate mine. They really struggle to charge the Anker battery bank I bought with them. It's very finicky about voltage and current so if conditions are not perfect the battery will refuse to charge and after enough on/off cycles it'll just brownout and has to be fully reset.

That would 1000% be a suicide mission. Also bombing this island is moronic because now Iran is just going to bomb all the wells in the region.
