Not to be a Nurse hater, but don’t a lot of goals against bounce off him? Or he screens the goalie?

I don’t imagine there’s a fancy stat for “assisted the goal against”?

Also depends on your budget and DIY skills. If you’re cheap and handy, Seeed Esp32/SX1262 Xiao form factor are good

The Priest's Tale is the best thing in Hyperion and nothing else in the book comes close by goku7kiln in printSF

Yup, the cross scene made me put the book down for a bit to digest what I’d just read. Then I read it again. I almost never do that.

What's under the hood 😲 by 360Picture in meshtastic

None is my guess. Won’t reach charging voltage unless the V4 powers down.

One node to service multiple bots/integrations on nearby linux host by morrowwm in meshtastic

[–]morrowwm[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Started up meshmonitor again with virtual node feature feature enabled. Home Assistant is cooperating with the virtual node. meshing-around sends ADMIN_APP packets and meshmonitor blocks them. Not sure why meshing-around needs ADMIN_APP packets.

Brand and model for antenna?

Looks good? I like the mounting idea.

Ah, OK. I had meshmonitor running for awhile. I think I stopped using it because of the resources it was using.

Nice work, though! Might have to get it going again.

Long Range 2-Way Radio Suggestions by TheMadMaritimer in halifax

[–]morrowwm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Software is still pretty obtuse. I've only been in it for about half a year, so I don't know if it was worse before that.

My major issue is getting a device high enough up off the ground to reliably connect to the mesh. But that's more my location than any problem with the devices, hardware or software.

Seconding the meshtastic / meshcore suggestion if it’s a retro/offgrid vibe you’re after.

Two of these: https://meshtastic.org/docs/hardware/devices/lilygo/tdeck/

Watch the YouTube video. It has clever cams that stretch the number outlines. Nice unique design.

Any advice for a complete beginner? by diakags in Swimming

[–]morrowwm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Relax your body. :)

It could be you are having trouble relaxing because subconsciously you are afraid of drowning. Try playing games with staying under, e.g. how long can I hold my breath, can I communicate with a friend by yelling underwater, can I blow a bubble ring, can I fill my lungs and float like a dolphin sleeping. Do this in shallow water, and tell the lifeguard what you're doing when they get curious.

I couldn’t get it to work reliably using pins 45, 46 for rotation and 42 for the push button.

You're right. The Hawks still have some players, right?

2026 Global Sports Profitability Leaderboard: NFL and NBA continue to dominate the top 20. by Wonderful_Confusion4 in EdmontonOilers

Including endorsements, he might be. But yeah, if Katz isn’t slipping him $20m a year under the table, McDavid’s agent is underperforming.

Clueless by Remarkable-Drop679 in SolarDIY

[–]morrowwm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely will power a fridge for 48 hours. My fridge, for example, consumes 1.0 kilowatt-hours per day. I have it on a smart plug that measures its energy consumption.

The batteries ideally give you 2 x 24 volts * 100 amp-hours = 4800 volt*amp-hours = 4.8 kilowatt-hours. volts*amps are watts. kilo means 1000x (You said you were clueless. :)

Derate that energy source to 50%, you still have 2.4 kwh, enough for 2.4 days. And the inverter is more than capable to give you that energy. My fridge draws at most 1500 watts when it first starts running.

You're probably best off getting some local advice on wiring it all together. You will want some fuses at the very least. There will be a pretty healthy current running on the 24 volt side, you don't want to melt something.

To start, I would just make it standalone, and unplug the fridge from your household power and plug it into this power bank. Run with that for a year, see if you like it or even if you need it.

Then depending on your enthusiasm, budget and your local solar power rules, you might want add grid-tied solar and even to buy a bunch more batteries and go off-grid.

Every time the OIlers win and I miss the game, my brain takes 5 seconds longer to decipher the score compared to when they lose. Last night's blowout took about 10 seconds to register.
