[Storm Thread - Mid WIllamette Valley, Oregon]

So it begins.

We are now seeing a few stormheads between Corvallis and Newport.

Here in the mid-valley, the overcast is just taking us now, nothing impressive in the skies yet, but watching the satellite views, I see crazy amounts of clouds springing up as the front moves in.

So, You Wanna Do A Solar? [Thread]
-A brief guided tour through my setup..

This system is not what I currently run, but it's a nice, straightforward solar panel system you can use for camping and emergencies.

Here, we have two 12w 100w Renogy panels, you can find these for roughly $100 each.
These have been wired in parallel, showing the adapting plug. System remains at 12v, with higher amperage.

The leads will head off to the charge controller, featured on the next post.

We are the music makers,
And we are the dreamers of dreams,
Wandering by lone sea-breakers,
And sitting by desolate streams;
World-losers and world-forsakers,
On whom the pale moon gleams:
Yet we are the movers and shakers
Of the world for ever, it seems.

With wonderful deathless ditties
We build up the world's great cities,
And out of a fabulous story
We fashion an empire's glory:
One man with a dream, at pleasure,
Shall go forth and conquer a crown;
And three with a new song's measure
Can trample a kingdom down.

We, in the ages lying,
In the buried past of the earth,
Built Nineveh with our sighing,
And Babel itself in our mirth;
And o'erthrew them with prophesying
To the old of the new world's worth;
For each age is a dream that is dying,
Or one that is coming to birth.

A breath of our inspiration
Is the life of each generation;
A wondrous thing of our dreaming
Unearthly, impossible seeming
The soldier, the king, and the peasant
Are working together in one,
Till our dream shall become their present,
And their work in the world be done.

They had no vision amazing
Of the goodly house they are raising;
They had no divine foreshowing
Of the land to which they are going:
But on one man's soul it hath broken,
A light that doth not depart;
And his look, or a word he hath spoken,
Wrought flame in another man's heart.

And therefore to-day is thrilling
With a past day's late fulfilling;
And the multitudes are enlisted
In the faith that their fathers resisted,
And, scorning the dream of to-morrow,
Are bringing to pass, as they may,
In the world, for its joy or its sorrow,
The dream that was scorned yesterday.

But we, with our dreaming and singing,
Ceaseless and sorrowless we!
The glory about us clinging
Of the glorious futures we see,
Our souls with high music ringing:
O men! it must ever be
That we dwell, in our dreaming and singing,
A little apart from ye.

For we are afar with the dawning
And the suns that are not yet high,
And out of the infinite morning
Intrepid you hear us cry
How, spite of your human scorning,
Once more God's future draws nigh,
And already goes forth the warning
That ye of the past must die.

Great hail! we cry to the comers
From the dazzling unknown shore;
Bring us hither your sun and your summers;
And renew our world as of yore;
You shall teach us your song's new numbers,
And things that we dreamed not before:
Yea, in spite of a dreamer who slumbers,
And a singer who sings no more.

@aral And why they arent breaking from the DNC and forming a new party just mystifies me at this point.

They would gut half the dems by the midterms..

@GossiTheDog "The Fediverse Chick"

@GossiTheDog Hi Kevin, you seemed to be a really good one to ask this to..

This 'Nicole' scam, been thinking about it.
1.) It's glaringly obvious, plust they have never changed the text of it in spite it being broadly known

2.) On the surface, it seems like a phishing attempt (I've certainly not clicked through), but again - stupid and obvious

Is this really a scattergun attack, or is it doing some other activity/surveillance?
