Unexpected but appreciated Roundabout

I recently scored a 10w panel and have been thinking about what to do with it. I've heard of mesh networking but am completely unfamiliar. Can someone recommend a quality knowledge source to bring me up to speed? so I can toy with this project?

Also willing to take suggestions for other solar panel projects!

Must the magnetic z-stop mount be printed on your machine specifically?

If yes; do a calibration step or two each week and you'll be done by xmas

If no; print one at a local makerspace/public library then do a calibration step or two each week and you'll be done by Thanksgiving!

I've been simmering on some 'radical left-wing' grafitti such as;

Be Kind

Build Community

Don't Hate

Love Thy Neighbor

But I don't want to get black bagged for spreading such subversive rhetoric.

Can you break up the calibrating process into shorter steps? I'm mostly unfamiliar with 3D printing, what's all involved?

Send help I have started two dozen new projects and have not yet circled back to the first

I made soft sourdough pretzels this week with just baking soda and brown sugar and they turned out great!

If you'd like to ensure you're up against an additional ~112,000,000 adversaries, by all means. That's how many apathetic or disenfranchised voters sat out the election. I don't like those odds, and I refuse to deny anyone the chance to redeem themselves. Describing them as stupid when you are aware of and admit to the fact the intentional actions of a hostile government has created the environment that made them 'stupid' will only create more enemies.

Unless you're willing to kill a hundred of million in pursuit of your own goals we will need to help those who have been disadvantaged and show them a path out of apathy. That's not just teaching literacy and critical thinking, mind you. It's providing opportunity to pursue and achieve goals they had buried away in themselves when they realized how badly the deck was stacked against them.

Universal health care and universal basic income are small steps in the right direction, but with the looming spectre of climate change (that we are actively, intentionally, and gleefully accelerating) then we need change at a systemic level. That system has under-educated and under-provided for those ~112,000,000 people. If you teach them how and why and who snatched their opportunities away it's going to be much easier to affect the change you want to see. If you're willing to lump that many people together and call them 'the problem' I'd argue that you are the problem.

Don't hate.

those who haven't fallen into hate

You appear to need help with reading comprehension as well, or at least a math lesson. Please, take a seat.

Officially, Trump received ~77,000,000 votes and Harris received ~75,000,000 for a total of ~152,000,000 out of ~174,000,000 registered voters. If you must insist the 77,000,000 who voted for Trump are all Nazis, that still leaves ~22,000,000 apathetic registered non-voters.

Those numbers do not take into account the ~90,000,000 disenfranchised or apathetic otherwise eligible voting-age population. That's ~112,000,000 eligible voters who did not explicitly lick the boot. If you'd like to count all 112,000,000 eligible non-voters as Nazis that means the USA contains ~189,000,000 Nazis, or about 2.5 times those who either support the neoliberal status quo or acknowledged the effectiveness of harm reduction over purity tests.

A more reasonable take on the eligible non-voter number is to assume apathy or ignorance over bigotry. Bigotry is indeed a hard beast to fell. Apathy or ignorance, however, can be overcome by promoting literacy and by extension critical thinking as valuable and necessary skills.

These people are not stupid. They have been failed by an educational funding paradigm designed to educate the wealthy while the impoverished are left behind. Do you really believe they are all Nazis?

Also; referring to anyone as 'citizen' is an explicit alienation of a group of humans. Alienation and dehumanization are major tools of fascism. Do better.

Doesn't appear to be, I found it in torrent form. Is there a process for submitting it to kiwix? Or would you just like the torrent?
