It kills the fries.

"This is a complex subject with a lot of subtleties. We have to choose the right words to make sure we avoid misunderstandings. Any sufficiently developed topic has a language all its own."

On par except that are three of them at once.

I'm not doing any more bottle babies until I'm collecting Social Security and don't have to work or sleep.

Capitalism.

But not Hercules. Which is my default after my Makita stuff got stolen out of a work truck.

No lynx native to my area. But a bobcat is always an option. Some legends tell of cougars. I can always hope.

The guy who just made a billion dollars with the metal clawed Canadian dude.

We had four cats die within a year. All orange boys.

Then one day I get a call from a place I'm doing Trap Neuter Release. Some mom just dropped three kids on a porch. I go grab the kids and set a trap for mom. I get the kids home. Three orange girls, two are bobtails. I've been on the hunt for an orange girl for years. Jackpot.

Really hoping we get mom because these are bottle babies. Get mom. Orange girl with even less tail.

I know I'm probably keeping mom no matter how feral she is. Definitely one of the kids too.

Time to make the decision. Which kid to keep. Wife vetoes me. We are keeping them all. Plus two more orange girls that will show up over the year. I have six orange girls. Probably more than anyone on the east coast. So much foster fail. So few braincells.

Eventually tame mom after 12 months and multiple attempts on my life. So many orange girls.

I picked up a Kill A Watt that shows peak usage so I can make sure the CA is rated correctly.

Thank you for the input on batteries. This has me conflicted because if there is just one battery and it fails the system dies. But if I have multiple batteries and just keone fails the system still dies and I have to replace every battery anyway since you can't mix and match. But that last option has more cables needed.

I have a basic handyman electrical kit so I can crimp standard household gauges 10 and smaller wires but will eventually have to get crimps for heavier cables.

I'd love a calculator where you plug in how many watts you need at a given volts and it tells you the inverter size, battery capacity including cranking amps and solar cell wattage for a given zip code so that I can minimize the amount of manual math needed.

And at what size system do I need a cooling fan? And how big does that fan need to be?

An issue we have this week is the hurricane. Multiple people on Facebook looking for a place to sleep that has power so they can run their CPAP. Any system capable of charging a tool battery (essential for chainsaws after a storm) is more than capable of running a CPAP overnight. And with a tool battery adapter you can charge a cell phone.

I foster extra spicy kittens and tame them so they can be adopted. Each time one bites me I think about how I have almost no insurance and this could be the one that unalives me. Those puncture bites are amazing. This little predator weighing less than 1% what I do can do me in with just their teeth.

My pet geese are so much safer.
