Also, I think he's going a little overboard because of the 2021 winter storm. His property sustained quite a bit of water damage because of it, right as he was finishing construction on the 'studio'. The 'tism in him understandably wants as many preventative measures against something like that ever again.

I don't understand his obsession with using solar and candles to do this instead of using much more effective means like using a generator and propane heat. He is spending hours attempting to cook a meal over a candle, when investing in a camp stove or a grill with a propane side burner for emergency situations makes more sense. His house was damaged by freezing, but he is afraid of using kerosene or propane heaters as a source of heat due to carbon monoxide and thinks candles will suffice. Then he assumes his outage will only last a day or two. He is actually quite under prepped and once his 24-48 hours are up, he won't be that much better off than those who hadn't prepped at all.

The dude is autistically obsessed with electrical power. He has been converting cars to electric since at least the mid-2000s.

Get one of these installed on your electrical mast:

Get a $1,000 generator. I have a 4,800 watt that runs for nearly 20 hours on 12 litres of gas, and can power two heaters and the lights no problem. Keep a couple cans of gas in your shed. Get a couple small space heaters. Get a $20 Wal-Mart camp stove and some fuel.

Congrats, you're ready for a power outage and you've only spent like $3,000.

I think David is so autistic, he's obsessed with doing it "his way" instead of what people in cold climates where the power actually goes out sometimes like rural Canada have been doing for decades.

Didn’t he want the solar panels specifically to trickle charge an electric car?
With a diesel generator you wouldn’t need to trickle charge it, so strictly speaking it’s a better solution, I’m just not sure many electric car enthusiasts would want to hear that.

Sounds about right. Average payback time on a good whole roof solar setup is 10-12 years.

Really showing how retarded solar is.

Is it really that retarded if you plan on living in the same house for at least that amount of time?
Or prepping, if you're trying to keep a reserve of petrol you'll need to autistically cycle it out before it goes bad. (about every 6 months or so?)

It depends. Buying in to a solar system could save money long term if public utility prices go up faster than inflation. It also could be a bad move to install solar right now if manufacturing improvements or increased subsidies will drop the cost of panels in the future.

I wouldn't want a gas powered home backup generator due to the hassle of keeping the fuel fresh and lines unclogged. This is why I would rather use a generator that burns natural gas or propane instead.

Is that accounting for the cost of maintaining the system?

The maintenance should be paid for on installation since many solar panels have a 25 year warranty. Just be sure to buy from a company that doesn't go out of business before the warranty expires.

I know a guy in Arlen, Texas who's a big advocate for propane and propane accessories. Turns out something for cooking nice slabs of meat can also be used for emergency power generation.

I have a propane generator. Shit's great. Just fire it up every three months or so and no draining or nothin'.

No idea. Youre running a big risk these flyby night solar companies will be in business a decade+ from now to warranty shit when it starts breaking or degrading to the point of uselessness. Youre also hoping solar can still keep fucking tax payers in the ass being given preferential treatment by government.

Reality is roof top solar is fucking retarded and only enabled due to endlessly massive subsidies and legislation heavily pushing or outright mandating it. If we wherent lead by absolute retards we'd have put all the money and time we have into solar instead into nuclear power plants.

interesting video update that somehow was missed by this thread,
8-bit guy has addressed his previous gun video, infamous for the 8-bit guy ordering food at subway with a long gun on his back

notable points
  • after the group has achieved its goal, of getting open carry in texas a thing - the group basically transformed in its own retarded thing filled with mostly extremists
  • argues that gun laws are required to a degree, got called a libtard after leaving the group
  • his shirt says retard madness
  • advocates a lot for less than lethal / non-lethal weapons
if he had his way with gun laws
  • ideally, permits when buying semi-automatic firearm, ie handguns, revolvers, rifles, etc. including private sales and gunshows
  • go so far that de-attachable magazines is a bit too far - guns sold to civilians should be limited to around 10 to 12 bullets and can only load one bullet one at a time

uh, that's literally the default method of loading magazines, lol

I mean, yeah, you can buy a speedloader, jank as they may be at times, or stripper clips if you're particularly LARPy
