News & Politics / Re: Shutdown Chess: GOP's Finale Offer
« Last post by Jackalope on October 31, 2025, 06:54:00 PM » Went to a Dollar General store today, and it was a zoo. I guess people needed to zero out their EBT cards. It looked like a supermarket just before a big snowstorm.
The longer the Democrats wait to finalize a continuing resolution, the hungrier people are going to get, and the more likely there will be violence. But I guess that?s what the Democrats want.

I suspect between Tuesday, Nov 4 and Fri, Nov 7.
Pushing things off to after the elections, so the Dems can scream we fought for you for all we could.

I will brew some tea later today and consult the tea leaves.
Major solar project moving along, completion before end of year in sight - only hope it's not too late!

Gear Review / Re: Starlink Internet Setup & Review
« Last post by JohnyMac on October 29, 2025, 06:40:32 PM »Oh one more thing. I contacted Starlink before I went down last year to be a RTO at the Hurricane Helene relief group. I explained my situation and they sold me a mobile starlink antenna and router at cost to them and with the understanding, I could return all and get a 100% refund. The cost was around $150-. I just left it in NC with the group that replaced us. ✌
With the exception of needing to deal with their company via email, I love them. Thank you Elon Musk.

« Last post by JohnyMac on October 29, 2025, 06:24:55 PM »Jackalope, you and the XYL will love it. Especially when the grid goes out which it does often in my neighborhood. I just plug it into the 110/120 v solar inverter system and I am back up within less than 5-minutes. And it sips juice as it is a passive system.

« Last post by Jackalope on October 29, 2025, 02:12:35 PM »Well, based upon Johny?s review, we have ordered a Starlink system. It arrived today, but I won?t be able to install until Friday due to the weather and other issues. Looking forward to having a decent internet connection, as our new property is remote and utilities are not reliable.
