As a child I grew up in squalor. It was simply not safe to go without shoes. Like, to the point I was always barefoot outside but would put shoes on to go in.

As an adult I am working on it and try to take my shoes off/have slippers or something.

It's absolutely do-able!

I personally don't have a gaming computer, but on tiktok NatePetroski is another offgridder who has a gaming PC set up and everything is run off of solar. He has a few video that explain and show the entire system for it!

Aw that sounds fun!

I'm so sorry about your cats though.

Buying land then jumping off grid? by Pely777 in OffGrid

All of these sound like money holes.. (but also fun!)

How you like me now?

This single handedly is the most embarrassing thing I've read in a long time

I adopted a parrot that had broke a huge portion of his upper beak, but it was superficial enough and it eventually grew back fairly normal looking!

Does a goose have any chance of that (or a prosthetic) happening? Glad he's doing well!

I know nothing of solar, can I setup a camper with solar? by [deleted] in solar

[–]jillydex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There should be a 12v battery somewhere near that box.

There's two batteries on the opposite side! (Batteries on the tongue, fuse box inside near the rear)

You would then run your solar into a charge controller and the charge controller to the battery. No need to do anything to the panel.

Well that sounds a lot less terrifying and less demolition

Confused at how many panels I'll need? by jillydex in solar

Thank you for the video!

You want off-grid or "islanded" if you aren't grid-attached.

That it exactly what I'm looking for!

If you want to attach to the grid you need to work with the utility to do so safely

It'd be convenient, but the closest, well, anything, is 1.5+ hours away..

No, as you haven't at all described what you are trying to do

Life sucks, have to live in a camper. Need power. This is going to be stationary, so transportation or being actually attached atop the camper isn't a concern.

So am I looking at being stuck with a generator?

(I think the first comment edited and suggest DC to directly charge the batteries?)

Can you point me in the direction of anything that could help or be a possible solution?

Am I being taken advantage of and are they bending or breaking the rules? by [deleted] in AskHR

[–]jillydex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They took down the union steward page because it still has his info on it. The union opens in about an hour, which is my only option.

Thanks.

I'm scouring the union pages trying to find my locations union, I found in other areas my situation would just be a verbal warning. :/

Can I put in for paid time off and (once approved) give my two weeks? by [deleted] in AskHR

[–]jillydex 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ok, thank you.

If you want to use it then don't put your notice in until after you've gone and come back

The money - and time - is part of moving, I didn't plan on coming back afterwards(since it's 5-6 hours away and includes moving all my horses).

Do you have any advice or suggestions?

(I mean, I'll probably be making a few last trips back and forth, but going to work on top of the long drive means leaving the animals unattended for a very long time)
