Wife and I bought too many plants so I was cramming them in every corner of my garden. If they all survive I will finally have a dense wildflower garden. It’s been getting better every year so this may be the last time I have to plant anything for a while.

I am struggling very hard to maintain interest in my current job and I spend most days trying to resist quitting on the spot to just be a full time student. Hopefully in like a year or so I can start working on getting a paid engineering internship while I'm finishing up my degree.

This will be the one time I don't say "work for USPS" because sadly it's not really conducive to going to school unless your classes were entirely online or something.

I'm so loving bored but I have enough seniority to pick which of the lovely schedules is least lovely for me at least. At this point I have to just stick it out I can't afford to give up the seniority or the benefits, but I would love to be able to just be a full time student.

kiimo posted:I'm going to have to disagree with this. Chronically late people are bad time managers, they can't just flip a switch and then suddenly change who they are. On-time people think hey simply stop being late and take it personally like these people are capable of being on time and just don't care about you enough to be better. But I think it's a personality flaw that is hard to overcome more than it is an indication that they don't value you or your time. You’re not wrong, but I can still get pissed at them and feel like they’re not respecting my time and there’s a difference between chronically late and just having no loving clue. My friend’s girlfriend is the most aloof person I’ve ever met that has ZERO concept of time, like we’ll agree to meet at 12:30 for something and he’ll text her at 12:00, and be like yo where the gently caress are you, and she’ll be like “Just got to the gym!  ”  (Ironically it was not her I was pissed at in this instance, I was happy to have plans with a couple of other people that didn’t include her and start on time, then they were both late  )Bird in a Blender posted:Wife and I bought too many plants so I was cramming them in every corner of my garden.

We are having mixed luck with our plants lol. At her parents house we planted corn, watermelon, carrots, lettuce, and potatoes. Squirrels plucked out the corn right when it sprouted, 50% of the melons didn’t do poo poo, the other 50% are fine, and taters lettuce and carrots are all doing great. At our place, half of our herbs never sprouted strong enough to plant, the peppers are doing decent, and our tomatoes fuckin took off.

The one tomato plant I bought already died and I just replaced it.

We had to put netting up over part of our garden because rabbits and birds kept eating all the greens and peas. Now they’re finally starting to grow. We must have put 30 plants in the ground today and we better start getting some rain here because I don’t want to have to water every day.

Re: chronically late folks… I’m sure there are some people who have issues with time management, but let’s not call it a medical issue like addiction or whatever. Time management is a learned skill. Now, I am biased because I am hardly ever late—but just look at your loving watch and get there, it isn’t hard. If you have a chronically late person in your life, look to see if they have been fired for tardiness or paid a billion dollars in appointment cancellation fees. I’d almost guarantee they haven’t. In which case, you know they have a watch and how to use it. Just no respect for other people’s time.

Procrastinator etc I mean there are certainly people to whom that applies but that would be uniform dysfunction throughout their life and they’d have difficulty holding onto jobs or doing anything really. That percentage is diminishingly small compared to the otherwise functional adults who just refuse to be on time to social engagements, and also seem to think it’s no big deal to waste other people’s time.

My MiL like pretty clearly had undiagnosed ADHD but she’s managed to hold down a job for 40+ years and retire, and somehow makes it to all her appointments and things on time. But making plans for like dinner or anything that isn’t DO OR DIE and she’ll be unavailable by phone then text like 30min after the agreed upon time and, well, yeah of course we think you don’t respect our time at all.

Thinking of putting solar panels on my shed to power a couple LED lights, battery chargers, and the occasional shop vac or saw (like, maybe an hour total cut time one day a month) instead of spending a thousand bucks for wires alone to run power to it. Anyone have any experience with solar that can recommend good brands? Doesn't have to be top of the line, just good. Amazon has some sets but I'm not sure how trustworthy they are.

I caught Dungeons & Dragons in the theater and loved it. It's kinda funny too how by the studio standards it wasn't "successful" but for Hasbro this was a slam dunk in terms of advertising. Hugh Grant taking heel roles is amazing. Also the crew running into the party from the 80's cartoon was fun.

I did band and sports all four years of high school, and if I took nothing else away from those experiences I came away from them with a borderline compulsion to be early for everything. Mention that next time some dummy tries to tell you that public school extracurriculars don't teach you anything important.

Think my wife is starting to get annoyed because for the last 2 hours I’ve only responded to her with quotes from Kung-Pow! “Have you seen the drill?” “Tell me if you see a Radio Shack!” “Want me to order Carls Jr?” “Taco Bell, Taco Bell, product placement with Taco Bell. Enchirito Taco Burrito” “Want me to put the boy to bed?” “No! He would kill you like a small dog” Hope we fool around later so I can yell “that’s a lot of nuts!” at some point

The problem you're going to have with the saw as part of your problem scope is that the peak draw of that saw puts you into the higher tier of battery banks and inverters before you add the solar, so your savings are likely not going to be great versus just running wire. If the it being a project is part of the allure, rather than cost savings, as long as you stick with LiFePO4 chemistry, catastrophic failure is unlikely even with cheap gear.

Yeeaaahhh, I figured I'd need to go at least a 2000 if not 3000 watt inverter for that limited possibility. 99.9% of the time it would be for a couple LED lights and over the holidays some LED Christmas lights. Maybe a security camera - all very low draw items. Guess I just liked the allure of not having to run a 200' extension cord when I need to vacuum or run a small compressor to refill my mower's tire because heaven forbid the thing holds air for more than a day or the battery cranks after sitting for 5 minutes or ... Whoa.

The other solution is to just go full battery on the tool side, cordless air compressor, saw, vac etc and then use the cordless tool batteries as your storage. Might even come out as a wash over upsizing the main inverter and doing a system battery. a number of the battery ecosystems also have inverters you can plug a battery into to get 120v back out for other light loads
