I don't think there's a ricochet, as (if my memory is right), bazookas use a shaped charge and that hole is caused by a jet of plasma.

Pretty high tech for the time.

Bazookas used a shaped charge, if I remember correctly there was an inverted cone of copper in front of the explosive. On contact the explosive turned the copper into a plasma, which makes that hole.

(I probably have some details off a little, but the idea is the shaped charge creates an incredibly hot jet).

  1. Define "toxic"

Very cool, thanks for that.

Folk music is always interesting and insightful.

Wow, what a voice. Wish I had a translation of the lyrics, some background on the song.

Again, wow, what a voice.

For just files I'd use Syncthing or Resilio (I keep hundreds of gigs synced with ST). Resilio has a feature that's very useful - Selective Sync. This allows you to setup a sync job that syncs the index of files, but doesn't sync the actual files until you select a file(s) to sync on the remote device. I use this to access my media files from anywhere (3TB) which I obviously don't want to try to sync the entire folder to my phone, etc.

But since you effectively are on the same LAN, you can use any file copy tool the respective OS's support.

Though for WAN connections, I prefer tools with some redundancy/resilience, since those connections can be slow or experience drops, and regular copy tools aren't designed to contend with that (in Windows the only tool I can think of off hand is Robocopy, but I think Teracopy will at least show you if a file copy fails).

It really depends on your use-case, what you're trying to solve for.

Ok, you made me snort. Enjoy your upvote!

What's the question?

You've posted a solution, but we don't know what it's intended to solve.

Are you looking to supplant a static PV system? With batteries or grid tied?

Or is this to be used on a mobile system?

Etc.

In the IT world we see this all the time from our clients, it's called "solutioning", where clients bring a solution to us without describing the problem first.

Hahahaha, you're kidding, right?

Should mods be able to alter the body too, "for clarity"?

🤦🏼

But I would quietly edit it

🤦🏼🤦🏼

Hell, I'm impressed someone ran the wire through FMC.

Is that the back side of sheathing with wallpaper on it? What's that other box for, exposed to the inside of the wall? Was the sheetrock added years later? So many questions, though I've seen this kind of stuff a lot (old houses and low income areas).

Hidden junction boxes are a no-go. There's no way for someone doing work later to know it's there, and it's a potential risk.

Including the table.

Ewww

As for the sheetrock in the fireplace, why not at least just put in a gas burner for decoration?

Or, block the chimney, and put in a decorative grate with some logs, maybe add some holly?
