Other than the minimum dose of Ozempic, I usually manage my blood sugar with just diet and what little work around the property I can do. I just had a colonoscopy a week ago, complete with the near liquid diet for 36hrs, and in addition to my bowel movements still somewhat messed up, my blood glucose levels are on average 50-60 points higher than normal, with a couple of times hitting just over 300 after a normal meal, which is about 80 points higher than it ever has been since I started working to control and way over my average. WTH is going on? Anyone have this happen to them?

Anyone know about how many watts current model power supply draws? I live off grid on generators and batteries and have a small inverter for nights when the genny is off. We just got Starlink and it's not liking the inverter. It seems to cause some type of interference with the couple of phone chargers that are also plugged in along with it and there's no internet available when plugged into the inverter and sometimes even no signal at all, but is fine when in genny power. I know this shouldn't affect the signal but it is so I'm wondering if I'm over-drawing the inverter?

BTW, this is a replacement unit as the first one did this no matter what it was plugged into and then the power supply starting buzzing! 🤣

Component recommendation needed.

I'm building a completely off grid system that will have about 10.5kv in commercial sized panels and up to 3000AH in 24v or 48v LifePo4 batteries (or 24s paired for 48). This of course is all on a budget which means I'm full on DIYing this. What is a good midrange 120/240v (pure sine wave preferred) charger/controller/inverter? Can't afford top of the line or garbage either so am looking for something as inexpensive as I can get away with but that won't set everything on fire! 🤣 Maybe Amazon prime deals? Everything that pops up on social media ads (such as Ankor) is expensive as hell. Thoughts, recommendations? TIA

I recently saw a social media post about the proposed Boeing 797 and it got me to wondering why all the Boeing jet models starting with the 727 have numbers beginning and ending in 7?

Seeing reports of a TUU engine being involved in a TC with civilian fatalities down in Riverside. Seeing lots of conflicting stories about if the engine was rolling code and had the right of way. Anyone have any legit info?

Positive thoughts for all involved

I'm going to be building a system around these panels, Jinko 575 Watt Model JKM575N-72HL4-TV that are 89"x 45".

They are wider than the floor of my pickup so do I need to build a platform across the wheelwells to bring them home down a rough road? Any idea where to find the weight also?

When mounting these (ground mount and also off the south side side of an east-west running shipping container), so do I need to support all 4 sides of each panel or?

I'm doing this on a budget and building the mounts myself. Due to space and wire run limits, I'm going to be mounting the majority on a series of "tilt table" (so that I can manually tilt them for the seasonal sun) frames totalling roughly 15' x 25" using the side of the above mentioned shipping container. Has anyone have experience with making their own frames using either lumber or steel U-channel struts? If so, do you have plans that I can check out or know where I can look for them? Thanks.
