    Trying To Find A Job And Failing Badly

     the truth is, the masks don't work. Expecting a mask to protect you from the virus is like expecting a chain link fence to protect you from mosquitoes

    Starting Small, would this work?

    Many of my charging needs are now already met, the only thing left is to be able to run my laptop. I'd like to be able to use it around 4 or 5 hours a day watching and uploading videos. I want to start a YouTube channel mainly as a way for my kids to keep up with me while I'm gone, so if I did...

    firearms

     I took Kempo Karate as a kid. Like you there is no way my knees will take the abuse now. I do want to start learning Tai Chi though

    firearms

    Given the current situation in the many parts of our country, I decided to carry a guns myself. I'm carrying a shotgun Mossberg 12-gauge, and a 9 millimeter semi-automatic. Between the two I think I should be okay I refuse to be a Reginald Denny

    I have seen units like those. They will not power my laptop I have two of these https://www.walmart.com/ip/Everstart-600-Amp-Lithium-Ion-Jump-Starter-Bundle-W-Surge-Protector-USB-Ports-and-Carrying-Case/876877 Each of which will power my 12in fan for 6 hours. What I'm looking for is a way to...

    Space is much more a limitation than money at the moment. This is not going to be my permanent van, this is like a prototype. I do not plan to mount solar panels on the roof on this van, I can set the panels out at an angle and let them get the best sunlight exposure possible. That is why I want...

    what a great idea

    I have no set destination. I am staying in the area to complete my build, do some maintenance, and prepare for life on the road.. there is nothing stopping me from going to stay at a friend's house or going to stay at my parents house or whatever, but if I did that how would I gain experience...

    I must be missing you. I see the tips tricks and rules link, but nothing about pictures even when I follow that link. If I'm just being blind I apologize it's not willful blindness

    I currently use two fans to keep myself cool when I'm trying to sleep. One fan is a USB rechargeable mini fan that actually does a really good job. The other one is my 12 inch fan that'll run 6 hours on a fully charge external battery. The small fan runs between four and six hours depending on...

     while being charged by 100 watt solar panel? To answer some of the other questions I do not need an air compressor, I have a separate one. I would like to have a jump box just in case my battery goes dead which is why I was thinking about using that as a power source. How would a 100 watt panel...

    Average power usage for my laptop is 50 Watts as measured by a kill-a-watt meter for a period of 2 hours My 12-inch fan is rated at 12 volts 700 milliamps so that equals 8.4 Watts? I have not bought the LED lights yet so I do not know what their power requirements will be I would only need one...

    what a great idea

    one of the reasons I came to this site, was in order to find other places to stay besides Walmart. I am very new to this and definitely have a lot to learn. That being said I've already figured out Cracker Barrel, and I found a couple of park and ride where I can stay. Hopefully by September 1st...

    Ford E-150 maintenance?

    What I do whenever I buy a used car, is change all of the fluids immediately change the belt and change all of the hoses. If the belt and hoses are in good shape I'll clean them up and then store them for spares. If you have good maintenance records on the card you may not need to do anything...

    AC blowing hot air

     I don't know who told you that, but it does not require a new compressor. Changing the O-rings is definitely a good idea changing the orifice tube is not necessarily a requirement but also a good idea and if he has a dryer then yes that will need to be changed if he has an accumulator then that...
