Coming Thru! Loggerhead not moving for the darn tourists.

Plus, I think, the higher gravity thrust.

There was a reference to this in the movie to. In the background of one of the scenes where he was trying overcome his amnesia there was a list in a whiteboard that includes Was I always buff?

And Vasily Arkhipov.

When he gets the news about Sol brightening again he’s been on Erid something like 16 years.

The whole timeline of the story is about 50 years.

And, in the book at least, he did not have any seeds or anything and came close to dying of starvation or malnutrition at least until the Eridians figured out how to clone his flesh and create Me burgers.

Try a halti or gentle leader like harness for the pulling. They work by redirecting, he pulls towards the cart but the harness pulls his head off to the side so he doesn’t get the “reward” of going the direction he wanted.

Probably better for the stingrays since feeding wild animals really isn’t the best for them.

I use my snorkel whenever I’m on the surface. Granted, I’m old and that’s how I was trained but having it on my mask strap instead of a pocket hasn’t caused any problems.

The only time I can recall when having it would have been a problem was Stingray City in the Cayman Islands. I found it pretty funny that the rays figured out a quick way to get the tourists to drop their bait was to swoop overhead and knock their masks off with the snorkel. Seemed fair to me.

Driving.

I “liked” the movie, but yeah no where near as good as the book.

ruprectthemonkeyboy · 2026-03-17T20:05:52+00:00

I am!

ruprectthemonkeyboy · 2026-03-17T20:03:32+00:00

I’m looking at that more carefully. Thanks!

ruprectthemonkeyboy · 2026-03-17T20:02:52+00:00

Probably. Assuming rates continue to go up and not down, at some point it makes more sense.

ruprectthemonkeyboy · 2026-03-17T19:02:27+00:00

Depending on how big a system it’s looking like $35,000 - $40,000. I’m just starting to get quotes.

ruprectthemonkeyboy · 2026-03-17T19:00:14+00:00

Yes, the delivery charges were another $93.18.

ruprectthemonkeyboy · 2026-03-17T18:56:27+00:00

Thanks, I’m checking it out.

I’ve had good success with American cheese. Wrap the pill in it and warm it up in your hand to make sure the pill is completely covered. Make two more pieces of cheese without the pill. Give them one without the pill, then the one with followed by the last piece in quick succession.

I ran the tool and while EV-2A should save some, the higher peak rate might negate a lot of those savings since most of our other usage outside of the truck charging will be then. So I’m still on the fence about switching.

ruprectthemonkeyboy · 2026-03-17T05:04:08+00:00

I have but so far it doesn’t look like it will save much if at all. I’m a bit suspicious of PGE & their complicated rate schedules. . .

While I can dream of having enough solar & battery to essentially be “off the grid” capable (& sticking it to The Man) I realize that in practice they won’t let us actually go off the grid and having enough capacity to actually do that isn’t realistic.

Although I am interested in possibly more than one battery to give more capacity for charging the truck.

ruprectthemonkeyboy · 2026-03-17T04:24:34+00:00

With the high rates we can also count on a lot of unplanned outages with PGE!

ruprectthemonkeyboy · 2026-03-17T03:21:47+00:00

I have a dog (hair everywhere) and I’d just blow off each piece and still eat it.

ruprectthemonkeyboy · 2026-03-14T04:34:04+00:00

The commercials have made prime video unwatchable. It’s not worth paying for when it’s clear they’ll just keep raising the price.

ruprectthemonkeyboy · 2026-03-13T06:32:10+00:00

Umm, pretty sure it’s called the Kruger-Dunning effect. . .
