I enjoy solitude because I've always had this fear of being a burden to someone else. I take pride in my self sufficiency because of this - I seek to be a provider, not a consumer. Though more recently I've started to see this beh

Maybe not as many batteries as we think. Local generation (Photovoltaics or turbines) set up nearby the channel where water will move uphill could run the pumps directly, without much voltage drop because of close proximity. On cloudless da

I've seen several of these "F-35 is a failure" articles over the past few years, and I have a new theory about it. Making the opposition think you're weak is a strategy. Straight from Sun Tzu. Negative press propaganda i

I'm enjoying this thread, albeit in a bittersweet way - its good to hear of a shared struggle but the solution is to get focused and stick with something. I've been in a similar limbo for the past few years. I was going to a unive
