Just an old fart who enjoys humor in all shapes and sizes. I am the "hermit on the hill", and I like it that way.

    And to the extent possible, do no harm

    I’m thinking some sort of escrow. All religions would be required to chip in, in proportion to their membership. I wouldn’t expect that Brother Del’s Baptismal Car Wash and Credit Card Wh*rehouse would have to pony up as much as, say, the cathoholic church.

    I’m with you. See my related comments on this page

    On the other hand, why is any external force necessary? Neither can be proven. I don’t want to wander through life thinking I may have chosen the wrong god, or the wrong version of god. Maybe I’m just being lazy, but dang it, I’ve seen no proof. I will tell you this, though. If there is a god controlling everything, he’s either a rank amateur or a sadistic son of a gun.

    I tried reading all of the comments. As always, I am impressed by the number of really knowledgeable folks who post. But I got bogged down. I’m atheist, and I “forgive” those who aren’t. It’s hard for me to see a clear path to “salvation” when the forest is so very thick with religion and its rules. Add philosophy into the mix and all bets are off. How can any one belief be true? Which one is it? Can you prove it?

    Many stores carry them. Ace Hardware, Harbor Freight, and similar. You’ll need to know your requirements. What will you be using them for. Get with an associate who knows what they’re talking about. And don’t be concerned about the price, remember it’s free electricity!

    It still takes energy to charge the battery. I’m not arguing against, just replying to your question. If I didn’t have solar, I would buy a small panel that produced enough juice to charge a few different types of batteries.

    My tools are all electric and run off of the solar panels, so I feel a little less guilty. They still make noise but less, I think, than the gas powered equipment.

    Define “decent”.
