ps the tractor seems fine - more later

 

[SilverBear]

are you sure?

and out with me to see if i can start up that new machine!

It's better left to the imagination!


The old mower will not start. It might be that "first start of the season" syndrome... but I think it'll never work again.

So... unpacked the brandy-new mower. But, the battery now has to charge for "12 to 24 hour" (electric start). Wonderful!

I should now take the time and run for a tarp to cover the huge mound of topsoil. 70% chance of rain tomorrow. I don't want a pile of mud.

Does your charger have "starting boost" ??? Since it's going to rain tomorrow....hook the battery up and also hook the charger up, start the mower, unhook the charger...

Of course, don't short anything or blow yourself up doing it...while making sure you can unplug it and have the mower keep running....

Not sure about the Pila, but the Nitecore (i4) will detect and charge li-ion, NiMH and NiCd batteries. 10440 up through 26650 sizes. Has 4 charging slots (charge four batteries at once).

Wanna go to Mars?

A one-way ticket to Mars, apply now - CNN.com

 

[AttyPops]

Wow. A one-way ticket to 1/3 rd the gravity, high radiation, and a non-breathable atmosphere where everything is barren and covered with rust...
golly gee Wally...sign us up!

Heck. They should at least all be scientists, like geologists or something, so we can learn something (or maybe just in the Tea Party)...

 

[AttyPops]

Maybe it's an IQ test. Offer free beer.

 

[TomCatt]

I say we sign Prue Talbot up for the trip Ship the whole ANTZ community off-world

3. Ecological Debt Day
Perhaps the most guilt-inducing holiday, Ecological Debt Day, AKA Earth Overshoot Day, takes place on the day in which we have used up our resources for the year. Meaning, humanity has used more than the earth can regenerate for the year. It started in 1987, though humanity first went into overshoot the year before. In 1987, we acknowledged the extent of our resource gluttony on December 19. Last year, the holiday took place on August 22. The New Economics Foundation calculates the calendar day of Ecological Debt Day by using the following formula: (world biocapacity/world ecological footprint) x 365.

and others...like thorium reactors and such. I'm still optimistic.

Haven't seen an update to this chart; but as of ~2008, NREL (National Renewable Energy Laboratory) max for any photovoltaic chemistry was 40.7% efficiency:

[SilverBear]

yeah, who needs wimmen, i got a PROTANK!

And you have the unmitigated GALL to call -ME- out!!!

 

[TomCatt]

I nevah called you out, sir!

 

[AttyPops]

Yeah...photo V may be only part of the solution even with cooled concentrators like that. But still, I'm tired of paying for a bunch of rich stock holders and energy company's greed (for oil $$$). And that pipeline with dirty oil sand is a joke. Particularly since we became a net oil exporter. So... do something! (and fix the dang roads too).
