I love the idea behind this. Overall I’ve been burned about 3 times in my home ownership time by committing to a brand like this. The brands seem to change batteries (voltage or connectors or both) on a 5 to 10 year cycle, meaning I either have to rebuild packs (fun with newer BMS etc) or deal with China sourced minimum lifetime packs. Even bigger things do this - but I did recently bought a Ryobi ride on mower that originally had lead acid that I covered myself to a single 48v lifepo4. Their newer ride ons have large 80v “packs” that I’m sure cost an arm and a leg for a proper “official” pack.

Given his parents, I highly doubt they were worried about teaching him about that.

I’m not your twin am I? I had mine out right before 20…

Guessing you’re a male? Similar issue here too. Gets worse as you get older I’ve found.

Antidepressants mess with the drive for sure.

A squolar, if you will

I have a dual socket R620 with 256gb RAM that I never turn on (proxmox) and another box with a single xeon 1518d (esxi). Collapsing both down to a repurposed Sophos SG135 (atom c3558) with 32g ram, 512gb sata and a noctua fan (proxmox). I already use another sg135 running opnsense. I run mostly lightweight loads anymore (HomeAssistant, netbox, unifi controller) so I really don’t need things turned on that have overkill horsepower. I have a separate file server that I need to upgrade sometime (old 4 core bulldozer amd) but it keeps chugging away.

Are you doing this nas on custom hardware? Curious about the build if so.

New fear unlocked

I’ve had one supervisor in a large enterprise company make less than me - and they were damn good at their job. I was also told at another job I applied for (different firm) that I couldn’t realistically request to make more than the manager.

I’m curious if Lasik is an option for those into the 50 range. I’ve noticed my eyesight getting worse and would rather not do glasses all the time (readers I could see an exception for)

Sure! He has an opinion, and you have an opinion - and you’re both right!

Logo still shows HBO for that intro though

Tinnitus adds a bit of flavor to it

I was thinking of this exact video too.

Monster truck madness… played the hell out of that back in the day

Too much amperage for a circuit is fine, for a battery is not. A circuit will present a known resistance and draw what is needed for a specific voltage. The batteries’ resistance will be very low at empty and change over the course of charge, and certain chemistries can be damaged over 1C.

Lol yeah agree

Dang it. The video of the over and over dick shots is gonna need a rewatch.

They charge a subscription fee for mental health?
