<2022-08-30T10:50:59.000Z> hazlin@shortstackran.ch: I am not sure why he started with a death threat, but I've been talking to bighat via email mostly, he keeps getting banned from poast. 
<2022-08-30T10:51:24.000Z> hazlin@shortstackran.ch: just wanted to let you know all is well xD
<2022-08-30T10:51:48.000Z> Dan_Hulson: What a strange guy I have never had a single waring on Poast
<2022-08-30T10:53:14.000Z> hazlin@shortstackran.ch: Yeah, apparently he likes to fight with the admin "Undu", I asked undu about it, and he said that bighat has a problem following the rules, but isn't like a danger to the community
<2022-08-30T10:57:52.000Z> Dan_Hulson: I would look into grid-tied system for solar panels it's cheaper and you don't need batteries but get good panels by LG or Panasonic and in Europe the government will sometimes cover most of the bill
<2022-08-30T10:59:16.000Z> hazlin@shortstackran.ch: hmm
<2022-08-30T10:59:43.000Z> Dan_Hulson: solar.com/learn/can-i-use-solar-panels-without-a-battery/
<2022-08-30T10:59:55.000Z> Dan_Hulson: that explains it ^^
<2022-08-30T11:01:10.000Z> hazlin@shortstackran.ch: Thank you sir, that certainly is a different perspective. I was more imagining how to manage without the grid, and you are saying, if I just need to bring down energy costs, then I can just focus on panels
<2022-08-30T11:01:52.000Z> hazlin@shortstackran.ch: any idea how many watts you can able to generate on average?
<2022-08-30T11:02:03.000Z> hazlin@shortstackran.ch: like 4 x 100watt panels?
<2022-08-30T11:02:40.000Z> Dan_Hulson: I can't remember but my bill went down by 30% with two panels
<2022-08-30T11:04:06.000Z> hazlin@shortstackran.ch: say, I've been seeing charts for energy in the UK and France, talking about 16x from 2021 prices
<2022-08-30T11:04:28.000Z> hazlin@shortstackran.ch: is that effecting you?
<2022-08-30T11:04:58.000Z> hazlin@shortstackran.ch: or is that like, some business level stuff that isn't hitting the resident power bills?
<2022-08-30T11:05:06.000Z> Dan_Hulson: My power bill as gone up by 150%
<2022-08-30T11:06:16.000Z> Dan_Hulson: and it's going up again in three months by another 80% and its a piss take because the UK is a big fuel producer
<2022-08-30T11:07:25.000Z> hazlin@shortstackran.ch: probably being forced to compete with germany and others in the EU for the energy you produce 
<2022-08-30T11:08:16.000Z> Dan_Hulson: probably but If I was you grab a few Solar panels to reduce your power bill while you can
<2022-08-30T11:08:44.000Z> hazlin@shortstackran.ch: exactly my thoughts
<2022-08-30T11:09:13.000Z> Dan_Hulson: Grab good ones though like I said you want LG or Panasonic
<2022-08-30T11:11:42.000Z> Dan_Hulson: LG do 400w panels with a 25yr warranty aswell
<2022-08-30T11:12:08.000Z> Dan_Hulson: I have two 2m panels on the roof
<2022-08-30T11:14:14.000Z> Dan_Hulson: Are you in the EU because they cover 55% of the bill with a grant I think
<2022-08-30T11:14:41.000Z> hazlin@shortstackran.ch: I'm in the states
<2022-08-30T11:14:59.000Z> hazlin@shortstackran.ch: it depends are where you are at here
<2022-08-30T11:15:36.000Z> hazlin@shortstackran.ch: some power companies actually increase you bill if you install panels because you are using less electricity xD Though, that was some years ago, may be different now
<2022-08-30T11:15:55.000Z> Dan_Hulson: In the states you can get a 26% tax rebate for your solar panels it says on Google
<2022-08-30T11:16:26.000Z> hazlin@shortstackran.ch: oh really
<2022-08-30T11:16:30.000Z> Dan_Hulson: google.co.uk/search?q=US+solar+panel+subsidy&sxsrf=ALiCzsZg56uvsOKE7b01Um32KtANueJSQg%3A1661857981145&ei=vfANY_6_CJe6gAbl3pfoDQ&ved=0ahUKEwi-koi1t-75AhUXHcAKHWXvBd0Q4dUDCA0&uact=5&oq=US+solar+panel+subsidy&gs_lcp=Cgdnd3Mtd2l6EAMyBQgAEIAEMggIABAeEAgQBzIFCAAQhgMyBQgAEIYDMgUIABCGAzIFCAAQhgM6BwgAEEcQsAM6BAgAEEM6CggAEIAEEIcCEBQ6BggAEB4QB0oFCDwSATFKBAhBGABKBAhGGABQuQJYsAtgmhFoAXABeACAAXeIAZACkgEDMi4xmAEAoAEByAEIwAEB&sclient=gws-wiz

<2022-08-30T11:19:34.000Z> hazlin@shortstackran.ch: thank you sir, I hadn't considered that the gov may help pay for them xD
<2022-08-30T11:20:20.000Z> Dan_Hulson: Always get the government to pay were you can as it saves niggers having the money
<2022-08-30T11:20:47.000Z> hazlin@shortstackran.ch: xD
<2022-08-30T11:21:01.000Z> Dan_Hulson: You can reach out anytime and if I can help you I will Brother
<2022-08-30T11:21:18.000Z> hazlin@shortstackran.ch: thank you sir!
<2022-08-30T11:27:27.000Z> Dan_Hulson: One more thing thats worth getting while you can I brought three dynamo powered lanterns for emengercy you wind them for 30secs and they stay lit for 5mins and you don't have to worry about batteries
<2022-08-30T11:29:03.000Z> hazlin@shortstackran.ch: I'll look at that as well
<2022-08-30T11:29:23.000Z> Dan_Hulson: they are only about $12 a piece
<2022-08-30T11:30:05.000Z> hazlin@shortstackran.ch: other things on my list are, bulk charcoal, a charcoal stove, low-power fans, and a better portable induction heating element 
<2022-08-30T11:30:45.000Z> hazlin@shortstackran.ch: oh, and the supplies to build a charcoal water filter
<2022-08-30T11:31:38.000Z> Dan_Hulson: Yes we just have to prepare the best we can.But I doubt the Power will go out all together or the system will collapse because if people can't use their smart phones there will be riots
<2022-08-30T11:32:38.000Z> hazlin@shortstackran.ch: that is in fact what happened in sri lanka xD
<2022-08-30T11:33:19.000Z> hazlin@shortstackran.ch: the way I see it, I can get all this stuff now, for relatively cheap, but if things got tight, it would be come unavailable 
<2022-08-30T11:34:06.000Z> Dan_Hulson: and hexi blocks are handy as well and very cheap
<2022-08-30T11:34:35.000Z> hazlin@shortstackran.ch: hexi blocks?
<2022-08-30T11:35:32.000Z> Dan_Hulson: We use them in a the millatary to cook food when there is no power you light them and they burn for 15mins so you can brew coffe or tea
<2022-08-30T11:36:48.000Z> Dan_Hulson: Just handy in a pich
<2022-08-30T11:36:49.000Z> hazlin@shortstackran.ch: oh!
<2022-09-15T05:19:57.000Z> hazlin@shortstackran.ch: Is everything okay over on NCD? I didn't see anything on my time line, but the tone in your reply to matty made me wonder.
<2022-09-15T05:52:47.000Z> Dan_Hulson: Everything is good but I think Matt is tired and struggling go to sleep has he said goodnight several times
<2022-09-15T15:35:38.000Z> hazlin@shortstackran.ch: ah
<2022-09-15T15:55:58.000Z> Dan_Hulson: How you been Hazlin 
<2022-09-15T19:20:25.000Z> hazlin@shortstackran.ch: I've been doing pretty good, doing lots of house cleaning, and spending a good chunk of the day outside of the house
<2022-09-15T19:20:41.000Z> hazlin@shortstackran.ch: which seems to be helping my overall health xD
<2022-09-15T19:20:56.000Z> Dan_Hulson: I'm glad to hear that, friend
<2022-09-15T19:21:29.000Z> hazlin@shortstackran.ch: I can feel summer leaving, how is it there? Getting cold yet?
<2022-09-15T19:22:11.000Z> Dan_Hulson: Yes it's getting a bit chilly but I like milder weather tbh
<2022-09-15T19:23:22.000Z> hazlin@shortstackran.ch: yeah, there is that period each fall where the weather is amazing
<2022-09-15T19:23:36.000Z> hazlin@shortstackran.ch: it is still on the hot side here, but windy so very nice
<2022-09-15T19:24:09.000Z> Dan_Hulson: Yes it's nice at this time of year still a touch warm with nice cool breezes
<2022-09-15T19:27:58.000Z> hazlin@shortstackran.ch: I'm actually going to go back outside ttyl :D 
<2022-09-15T19:28:38.000Z> Dan_Hulson: Take care and be safe my friend
<2022-09-15T19:29:03.000Z> hazlin@shortstackran.ch: thank you sir, you have a blessed day as well :D 
<2022-09-15T19:29:50.000Z> Dan_Hulson: Will do thanks and see you soon
<2022-09-15T19:30:16.000Z> hazlin@shortstackran.ch: >see you soonLol, made me do a double take xD
