Just to put this in perspective, for $169 you can get a 1200Wh deep cycle battery on amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Universal-UB121000-45978-100AH-Cycle-...

however, you will only get 300 cycles before the battery performance degrades to unacceptable levels.

If you wanted to use this deep cycle battery for 5 years (300X5, 1500 cycles), you would only be able to discharge 20%, meaning you would need 5 of them.

So given that you can buy a $169/1200Wh battery right now, and get 300 cycles Or you can consider it a $845 (5 X $169) / 1200Wh given the above explanation regarding cycles.

So for $900 you can get a 100 AH 12v lithium battery, which gives you near 1200Wh, $900/1200Wh to give further understanding about the title of the article. The lithium battery should give you the same amount of cycles as the 5 deep cycles. However they are relatively new in this size and unverified, they will probably perform at this level.

I can't read the article, there is no room to see the text. To many pop-ups,pop-downs,spam headers. Whatever the article says, I can't see it.

I though this was basically the main business plan on flippa, like an open secret. And I have even heard that some books on "new york times best seller list" are just books moving between warehouses to generate invoices.

This is literally the plot to the 1971 George Lucas sci-fi film THX 1138, down to the detail: "set in a dystopian future in which the populace is controlled through android police ... ."

Quack here. I've been saying this, and backing it with scientific support, since at least 2003 and being dismissed. Got my mom to reduce her insulin by cutting out all the carbs (took several years), now she thanks me. I think we should be more open to more "outlandish" claims from people. There are some serious problems with modern medicine. SSRIs being out performed by pasebo or just turmeric, Potassium Bromide in bread causing cancer, Blood Thinners actually causing heart attacks, Titanium Dioxide, aluminum sulfate causing breast cancer and "race for the cure" not spending any money on actual research, no real antibiotic resistance with first responding antibiotics (simple amox, doxy, penn ) and reducing their use causes more harm, the need to ban glysophophate and do multi-generation claw back damages lawsuit. Anyway just thought I chime in. All of these are backed by research.

would an ignition coil from a lawnmower work? I googled "F150 ignition coil" and it is rated at 40kV

this happens to me. Also I would get "phantom calls" right before my phone was about to ring. Sometimes I had leg twitches when I kept my phone in my pocket, that I thought was just a pinched nerve, but my phone would then begin to ring. I no longer store my phone in my pocket and have not had phantom calls/leg twitches. Placing my phone near a speaker I could correlate that the frequency of the twitches matched whatever frequency the phone pinged the tower. Not proof but very suspicious.

Interesting enough I have been disabling my wifi at home at night because I was challenged to see if I felt a better deeper sleep. I did, but I have not ruled out placebo effect. I want to randomize this somehow and record which days I think it is off (depending on my sleep) vs days it is on, to rule this out. I am horrified that EMF could be affecting me like this if it is true. I live in an area without other wifi, 3g, or 4g. I do not own a frequency counter, but that would help me eliminate other interference for better test results.

if you have a blood parasite, the virus will hide inside the parasite and re-infect you, and it won't matter if you are on a drug that kills the virus (unless the drug can get into the parasite and kill it as well). Even worse the virus could theoretically hide in your DNA or immune system as instructions-to-run-later, and your system could screw up and accidentally re-create it -- I am not sure how exactly that would work but it is worth exploring the possibility. If it was easy to kill, it'd be dead by now.

I am embarrassed to admit this but I use a microwave-safe ceramic dish with lid for steaming vegetables. I put two to four tablespoons of coconut oil and 4 tablespoons of curry paste. I heat it up for 30 seconds and mix it and add coconut milk powder. Then I fill it with frozen vegetables and nuke it for 10-15 minutes.

The frozen chicken breasts are cooked in toaster oven for 45-75 minutes at 400f in a cast iron flat plate skillet. I usually start the microwave when this is done, because again I am very lazy and need to run another 20 amp circuit to that spot of the kitchen.

I cut up the cooked chicken and put it in the bowl when it is finished. I have it timed so everything is perfectly cooked. Probably the most offensive and lazy way of cooking this dish, quick and about $2.25 total including frozen chicken, frozen vegetables, paste, coconut oil, and milk. You could add $.13 for about 1kw for electricity to be fair.

I eat pre-mixed Thai curry paste from this brand called "Mae Ploy" with coconut oil, powdered coconut milk, meat (either chicken or beef) and vegetables. There's about five different flavors and for $8 you get a 2 pound bucket of it I have never actually been able to finish one in less than a year.

Turns out I can eat an amazing very low carb meal for about $2 a day and 2-3 minutes of meal prep. It's currently my "meal for life".

If there is a Japanese pre-mixed curry for sale, let me know!

Speech that outrages, offends or angers another person or group is actually the most humanizing concept available. Anger, being offended, being rude are human traits. No they are not very positive human qualities, but that doesn't make them "de-humanizing". De-humanizing is a completely different concept that can happen in a variety of situations, but one is where one group dominates society and prevents individuals from having (wrong or not) concepts that are contrarian or against their agenda. For example, falsely claiming offensive speech is de-humanizing and rejecting the ability for others to have "offensive" models of the world is in fact, a projection of de-humanizing wrongly re-wrapped as "de-humanizing" itself. There are other concepts in de-humanizing, that are beyond the scope of this. But cenosring speech or rejecting models (positive or negative) in the name of de-humanizing is actually a de-humanizing itself. Being angry is a right as a human. Imagine if we passed legislation making it against the law to be angry. That would be so outrageous and against every thing that is human we know.

it's the blood parasitic bacteria nematodes that harbor and load the heavy metals and release poisons, crawl up the brain and die off and the bodies inability to fight them off because parasites by nature mask their ability to be detected in the body and try to keep their host alive as long as possible. Heavy duty detox protocol with Ivermectin, ALA, NAC, binders prevent this. I've brought this up to many researchers and authorities including showing them CDC, and nobody cares. Alzheimer's is a huge money maker they don't want to find the cure. Cutting down sugar helps kill off the parasites because they can't grow as much. Also the parasites are GMO and sold and used in organic certified food since 1996.

Yes a solar charge controller would be the best next move. Do these cheap $14-20 charge controllers last?

Thanks
