I developed a simple circuit using 1 Farad supercapacitors and a power management IC, no battery. It buffers a 5v solar panel and provides smoother power when the aun is up. It even trickle charges the supercapacitors from just a bright security light outside the window at night.

The effect is that the capacitors store the trickle until they are full, then deliver a burst of steady full power, enough to power a node for 30 minites when busy. So with this circuit, a node cleverly placed near an outdoor light would operate continuously in daylight and intermittently at night with some artificial light nearby.

Yeah, their tasting room is a nice hangout in a nice area with other stuff in walking distance.

Weird hours, so be aure to check.

My favorite rye is by Rocker. They are in Colorado, and do not distribute nationally, unfortunately. The distiller is going for a niche, local market, he tells me.

Anyhow, all other rye whiskeys taste ‘thin’ in comparison. Super rich and super sippable.

Batteries and capacitors both store electrical potential, but in different ways. So yes you can compare their performance at storing and then delivering electricity under specified conditions.

Batteries can keep charge longer with less loss, but capacitors are faster at responding to rapid changes in eletrical supply and demand.

The quote you included shows exactly how they compared the performance at low temperatures, as an example. Maybe I am missing your objection?

It’s their inexplicable resistance to Imperial norms that I can’t stand…

Ok, I have to back the truck up.

I tie-dyed a t-shirt at an employee ‘appreciation’ event last week in the colora of the flag of Rwanda.

It was fun.

That is an informative link. Do you talk to people this way at parties, though? cuz….

Everything was beautiful, and nothing hurt.

May I ask the significance of that symbol? It is lovely and fun to stare at.

Weeds was a tough one for me too. She was not likeable, not one bit. No real self awareness, super shallow.

Monsanto has not existed as a brand since 2018. The name of the new baddie is Bayer, who acquired them and got rid of thae name. Same shitty playbook, but let’s focus our anger on things that exist.

The list of words is from what the article describes as the ’center-left’ Third Way think-tank. Har har.
