I wish I could "like" a zap.

If you asked me for one piece of advice for building a solar power system it's this. If you can, oversize the inverter/charge controller.

Is it that hard to distinguish truth from lies?

True safety is downstream of competence and trust. And trust is downstream of truth.

I found out we have a Sam's Club about 40 minutes from where we live, and I'm really happy about it. I've become a bigger fan of Sam's Club than Costco. Costco feels like I'm trying to get out of jail. Sam's Club doesn't care about me showing my membership card. The prices are good, and we can get items in bulk that we actually would use. Like a 52 pack of oatmeal packs.

"The housing crisis is actually a zoning crisis, an inflation crisis, and a regulation crisis, wearing a trench coat and pretending to be a market failure." These are the kinds of things you notice when you think beyond order 1.

Without boundaries, there is no life, no humanity, no universe.

To the degree a nation aligns with Father, Jesus, and Holy Spirit, who they are and how they operate and the story they are telling, that nation will experience genuine hope and improvement in relationships and living standards.

World of Engineering "7 equations every engineer should understand, not just know: 1. F = ma (Newton's Second Law) Force = mass × acceleration. Everything that moves or is prevented from moving obeys this. Every structural load, every vehicle dynamics problem, every rocket trajectory. 2. σ = F/A (Stress) Stress = force ÷ area. How concentrated a force is. A small force on a tiny area can be catastrophic. A huge force spread across enough area is manageable. This is why needles pierce and snowshoes don't sink. 3. Q = mcΔT (Heat transfer, sensible heat) Heat energy = mass × specific heat capacity × temperature change. How much energy it takes to heat or cool something. Every thermal system, every HVAC calculation, every cooling loop. 4. P = IV (Electrical power) Power = current × voltage. Why high-voltage transmission lines lose less energy than low-voltage ones. Why your phone charger gets warm. Every electrical system. 5. PV = nRT (Ideal Gas Law) Pressure × volume = moles × gas constant × temperature. How gases behave. Every engine, compressor, pneumatic system, and pressurised vessel. 6. ΔS ≥ 0 (Second Law of Thermodynamics) Entropy of a closed system never decreases. Why you can't build a perpetual motion machine. Why every energy conversion produces waste heat. Why engineering is fundamentally about managing irreversibility. 7. E = mc² (Mass-energy equivalence) Energy = mass × speed of light². The basis of nuclear engineering. Why a tiny amount of mass releases enormous energy. The equation that explains why uranium powers submarines for 25 years. You don't need to solve these every day. You need to feel them, to know when a system is violating one of them. That's engineering intuition."

Okay, so we're moving here now. @AnnSofiNovelist View quoted note →

This is great. And it works. Engineers for the win! View quoted note →

This was the worst and best Father's Day I've ever had. Thank you for making it lean towards the best Father's Day, @AnnSofiNovelist.

If you're reading of the Scripture doesn't lead you to an encounter with God, you don't understand what you're reading.

For me, self custody is about taking responsibility for what's mine. And separating money from state. And boy does it feel good. View quoted note →

The good thing about Nostr is no one can stop me from speaking truth.

I'm not sure I've ever appreciated you more than now. @AnnSofiNovelist
