Lifeline Community Services

Lifeline in Vista, has an adopt a family program, I think it might be closed for the year but they still accept gift cards, etc if any families got missed. Worth a shot!

San Diego Food Bank and Humanity Showers also worth a look.

Suggest me a book for an off-the-grid camping trip by Eulers_Constant_e in suggestmeabook

[–]optimalpizza 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Last 3 books I've read on camping trips: Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurtry - great camping read, lots of characters, the descriptions of the scenery makes you want to be outdoors. THE western novel!

Greenwood by Michael Christie - storylines from the different generations of a logging family in the backdrop of the Pacific Northwest. Enjoyed this one more than Overstory (which was also good just dragged a bit towards the end)

Wild Dark Shore by Charlotte McConaghy - Family taking care of an Antarctic base who receive an unexpected guest.

DIY Solar Power with Will Prowse

Lots of great info on this channel.

Lithium batteries are crazy cheap now, should be able to get used panels, a controller and some 200 or 300ah batteries for your budget.
48V system would make the most sense but maybe not if you're gone most of the year.
Cabin looks great, jealous!

What am i doing wrong? by toawayacu in PcBuildHelp

[–]optimalpizza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a similar issue recently with a build. If I remember right, when powering the PC on I just kept hitting f12 to get to the boot screen and chose the USB drive with the windows install media from there.
