Pretty much. I'm not sure I totally buy into that it's much of an increase though. Or people would be dropping like flies.

I think the bigger issues is just being generally overweight. The percentage of overweight people is crazy, regardless of their jobs.

I'm 55 and not to be an old man and say "in the old days", but in the old days, when I was growing up. I knew ONE overweight person. Yeah, just one. It just wasn't common. Look at pics from the 1970's, and you just won't see a whole lot of overweight people.

Now? Everywhere I look. I'm sure more office workers have added to that, but that doesn't account for everyone.

I work in an elementary school. And I was sitting at lunch just looking around and thinking about it. Teachers are actually pretty active. Lots of walking around the classroom. Very little sit down time in an elementary school.

Me and two others are fit. Rest are all overweight. How did this happen?!

Ok, rant over. Just got me to thinking. :)

The reason I'm asking is that, to me, all the ways to get into solar seem really expensive.

Even what many people online call 'cheap' is often beyond my budget.

Is it more about doing a DIY setup, finding recycled solar equipment, or are there other affordable options? Should I just start the self-teaching route and do the work there? I am getting information overload, so I'm not sure where to start.

For context, I'm an older person with an income of less than $25K a year. I work as a teacher's aide in an underprivileged elementary school. So the salary won't increase.

I like what I do, so I'm not complaining, just giving you background to avoid the "get a higher paying job" replies, because I feel the work I do is important to the kids and I want to keep doing it for a little longer.

Is solar realistically within my reach?

I love the name and the idea. I'm def going to try to be a bigger participant of this sub!

Ok, thank you! I'm retiring in a few months, and I think I will jump right into this stuff. So I'll keep an eye out. :)

Modlog, search for “harassing.”

And no examples. I still have no clue what they determined to be harassing. I got many nasty dm's and would reply in kind, but I don't see how that is harassing. Plus I'm quite aware that DM's aren't private. But again, their instance and their rules.

Not for your behavior on the previous instances exactly, but for starting up the same behavior from new accounts since you’d already been banned for it, which is against the rules.

Which we have already discussed wasn't done on this instance, in your community or any other instance. It's again, your assumption.

Really, let's just end it here. You obviously think I'm a troll. I disagree. That's ok. Let's agree to disagree.

I won't be posting to your community, now I know how your bot works, and we can just move on. Thank you.

Nearly every day for the past 30 months, Mr. Spodek has lugged solar panels and a 17-pound battery up and down 11 flights of stairs to his roof to charge them.

Ok, that's commitment. I guess I should stop complaining about my crappy house and feeling that I am stuck on the grid. I at least have backyard and front yards.

This dude is just crazy enough to be my hero. I am legit going to change up some things because of this find. Thank you OP!

Is there somewhere where we can follow the solar panel stats for this instance or that details the set up? This sounds fascinating to me.

I want to do this so bad. I really just need to take the jump and start doing it rather than researching it. I wish there were a step-by-step, teach me like I'm in fifth grade, sorta tutorial on it.

Oh, man, I WISH this was a thing. I do buy cheap phones and run them until they absolutely can't be used. My current phone cost $100 and it's perfectly fine for what I do.

I do get jealous of the latest cameras on new phones tho. My phone cam sucks! lol

Wow, this is a great resource. Thank you for this!
