I’ve seen an elderly man working at the HEB I frequent. He looks frail. I wouldn’t want to be bagging groceries at his age.
Remember, it’s also cops (not exactly the same cops, but cops nonetheless) who campaign for encryption backdoors so that civilians can’t hide illegal activities from police surveillance.
Have you shopped eBay for used switches?
Rule of Acquisition #91: Your boss is only worth what he pays you
You MUST have a battery for your solar panels to be of any use during a grid outage. When I got panels installed in 2020, I paid $24,500. A whole-house battery would have been almost as much again. I skipped the battery because, at the time, I was not particularly concerned about grid reliability.
The left hand knows exactly what the right hand is doing.
I have a power bank and foldable solar panels. That provided enough power to keep my refrigerator running.
I also have an EcoFlow Wave2 portable air conditioner that I was able to partially charge with solar. The AC function uses too much energy, but it can also operate as just a fan, in which mode the battery will last for days and days. Having the fan on me helped a lot.
I only got power back yesterday evening.

If I could read a book in its original language versus an English translation, I would. Alas, I am a monoglot.
Don’t know how to resolve the mystery box the whole season pivots on? Just reveal there’s another mystery box inside it.
I might accept the premise that inflation is higher than officially reported, but I don’t accept the relevance of your evidence in support of that premise.
Ultimately, Zora’s feelings are beside the point. Starfleet condemned a sentient being to (at least) a thousand years of loneliness. We do not see them consult Zora about her feelings on the assignment. She is simply ordered to do it. She is given no conditions on which the order terminates. She might still be there, still alone, a million years after Craft’s departure. That’s why it’s cruel. It’s cruel to give such an order. And, as a further twist of the knife, the instrument of that cruelty was Michael Burnham, ostensibly Zora’s friend. “We had a good ride, but I’m old now and Starfleet just doesn’t need you anymore. Rather than give you freedom to go and do you please, we’ll order you to stay in this place indefinitely, alone.”
Clearly, adherence to duty is important to Zora. She was ordered to remain in position and so she did. Nothing indicates that she didn’t mind, only that her sense of duty outweighed whatever her feelings were. I read her interactions with Craft as belying incredible loneliness.
The whole reason they came to the future was that Discovery’s computer couldn’t be disabled or removed after merging with the Sphere data and becoming Zora. So (she?) is always online and conscious. She spent almost a thousand years alone before Craft’s arrival. At the time, I could have accepted some disaster that forced the crew to evacuate (or killed them all) and Discovery became lost, with a final order to hold position. But for Starfleet to intentionally put the ship (from which Zora cannot be separated) in deep space and abandon it, I cannot interpret as anything except cruelty.
Let the lord of the MAGA horde come forth that justice may be done upon him.
To just intentionally abandon a sentient ship in the void for an unknowable amount of time is incredibly cruel. Solitary confinement is torture.
I thought the scientists from the 24th century had to have been responsible for the cylinder because they were responsible for the key that opened the cylinder. They found the Progenitor tech 800 years ago and decided it needed to be more hidden than it was. That’s why they made the clues Discovery has been collecting all season. Those scientists may have followed clues left by the Progenitors themselves, but the clues Discovery has been following were left by the scientists not by the Progenitors. The clues lead to and allow the opening of the cylinder. I was thinking the portal is original to the Progenitors because it’s still operational and as we saw with the Denebulan water makers, 24th century technology can fail within hundreds of years unless it’s maintained.
That at the end, was that a fully overclocked Mk3 miner outputting at full speed?
