Yeah, it really was just the spire on Woodman Park that made me say that.

you should have got the BURGER

Yes DEET on your clothes, and especially if it’s the good 100% stuff, don’t put it directly on your skin.

Yeah, in NH blind people can drive with a doctor's note. It's really convenient, they don't have to remove those cardboard sunscreens that on up on the dash inside the windshield.

Also, if you wink at the DMV lady you get a handicapped rear view mirror hang tag.

use 2 monocles and a top hat?

The comparison is to the proposed solar farm.

The parking lot canopies are additional infrastructure. You claimed savings on simpler, cheaper electronics that would charge 12V car batteries.

That makes no sense whatsoever. It's such a moronic idea that even if it existed no one would use it to charge their 12V batteries. The energy savings it would provide would be absolutely dwarfed by the environmental impact of it's manufacturing and construction.

But now you're saying it's also going to have traditional electrical infrastructure to feed power into the local grid and presumably do useful stuff like power homes and charge EV propulsion batteries, but that goes against the whole supposed savings by not needing any such electrical infrastructure...

I don't think you even know what you're talking about at this point.

It’s interesting how this nonsense only seems to happen in certain towns. I wonder if they’d adopt a zero tolerance policy what could be done.

Could you spray paint your rear windows black?

Last I knew rear and rear-side windows are not required.

My front windows are tinted. Never been a problem.

I bought my car from the south and it came with front tinted windows. I pass cops every day and I’ve never been talked to about it 🤷‍♀️ I don’t think it’s a real problem.

The $10 charge controllers are all that is specifically needed for the EV application. Other applications (e.g., powering nearby buildings) will need different additional infrastructure (“additional” meaning in addition to the canopies themselves).

Um, their other name is Mayfly.

Nothing works with black flies. Besides a head net.

Stay out of the woods proper and if you hike wear a net and long sleeves. Youll really want to look for ticks more than anything though. Trust me.

Are these canopies made out of $10 charge controllers or are you seriously ignoring the actual additional infrastructure you're advocating for?

We need you on world problem think tanks to solve more of our problems... /s

Even if you're doing things in Manchester and going out to dinner, it's the difference between checking in at a hotel at 9PM at a location you're not going to have much to do around and checking in at 10PM right where you want to be for the next day.

If that's true about the front windows then that's a huge change and it must have been made in the last 3 years. I was at inspection service stations for 30 years and you were never allowed to have front window tint in New Hampshire

What we really need is a Waffle House.

I love that wonderful, terrible place.

A $10 charge controller is not “a bunch of infrastructure”, and nobody ever said that the solar power from parking canopies would only be used for that purpose.

On earlier models yes.

But to get this straight. Instead of solar farms powering homes we should add a bunch of infrastructure to parking lots to charge 12V batteries?

It's like you want to destroy the environment.

DEET on your clothes,Parmethrin on your shoes and pants, especially if you are out in the woods.

Ticks suck.

But generally aren't a problem as long as you check that you don't have one attached when you shower at night. If you do, and get Lyme it can be treated pretty easily when caught early with antibiotics.

I've also lived here my whole life, I've rarely been bothered by black flies and only had a few tick bites. Misquitos are the worst and they come out later.

Barely

Charging the 12V battery independently can keep you from needing a jump start (i.e., being stranded), which, as you yourself said, “happens all the time”.
