Seems like it's a fairly run-of-the-mill charger/booster pack and equipped with a standard LA (Lead Acid) battery. That means it will require more attention to state of charge and its rate of free-air discharge will be a bit greater. It will last a …

For the most part, yes... but hawks are bold enough to announce their presence and intent before they attack. When my chickens hear them, they scurry for cover under the deck, a shrub, in the henhouse, etc... my neighbor's ducks aren't quite as …

We've all been there... you're working, walking along, riding, etc... and something just grabs your attention. Perhaps in the periphery, or maybe it was just so breathtaking and/or out of phase with the surroundings that it struck you as odd enough …

Cute in photos... not so much when in your backyard and threatening to eat your recently hatched chicks and pullets... I do love hearing them at night.

With regard to sub-gardening in an arid climate and with, drier-than-normal, soil; would you dig out the area of the bed to depth and line it with something to prevent leeching of the water from the bed to the underlying ground? I'll agree about …

I'm very lucky/blessed to live in the South where gardening isn't such a challenge as it would be in your area, but that doesn't mean it's impossible, It will certainly be a challenge, but humans have lived and thrived in a variety of geographies …

I don't watch sports, so take my opinion as from an outside, big-picture, perspective. I believe that society, at large, is too quick to knee-jerk a response in this, ever-connected, age. Everyone has a camera, and every app now seems to have a …

I cannot fully articulate the process of disposal as well as the authorities on the subject. I maintain a topical following of the stationary battery industry as it directly correlates and integrates with the DC power products of my company but I'm …

Yeah, and the CosPlay consists of tweed, non-matching socks, and pocket protectors... :-P

Just posting this as an example to the varying chemistry types of Li-Ion batteries and how they can be manipulated for specific applications. This is an exhibit from one of the papers published for the last BattCon I attended in 2016.

This, and the fact that portable battery banks with jump-start cables are fairly inexpensive. Just a bonus that they double as a backup power source for electronics. I wouldn't want to carry one into the backcountry though.

Keep in mind that, currently, there is no sustainable method to recycle/recoup the materials in Li-Ion batteries. The chemistries of these battery types varies wildly and they can be manufactured for very specific applications, based on ambient …

Yep... especially the 29" 'cuz, you know size matters. Ha!

Very likely... also, most current electronic AC connection cables have a transformer/switching DC converter attached in-line. Those are also affected by poor AC supply, as their job is to down-convert the AC into a lower voltage DC for the device. …

The, oft unspoken and overlooked, downside to using a generator is their atrocious power quality. Honda are, marginally, better in creating a pure sine wave AC output but, generators are notoriously inefficient at producing clean AC. The quality of …

I first experienced Lime on a business trip out to Phoenix earlier this year and it was a bit... disconcerting. I'm from rural North Carolina and unaccustomed to such services as the dockless bikes. I'd witnessed a steady rise in the docked bikes …

Jean jacket... "snicker"

I'd posit that it's being done already, though on a much smaller scale than I'd imagine you are portraying. Every elite athlete that does wind tunnel testing, has been fit by a computer algorithm (yours truly among many thousands of others), and …

I like the premise, and the free-form layout of following topics, vs. maybe following a specific thread in a subforum. This feels sort of like a "Medium"-light A couple of improvements from my perspective would be to implement category blocking …

Pre-race sighting laps:

My adherence to the intermittent fasting program is working well for me. Mondays are always a rest day, and I'm usually in front of the computer all day anyway as well, trying to catch up on weekend emails. I've lost about 4 pounds since starting …

Wear your helmet, people!

Blackberry Doe was the name they gave me since I had no ID on me at the time.

This is not what you want to wake up to, trust me on this...
