Hey favorite nerds. My 17 year old wants us to take delivery of 14 used solar panels, Yingli and Mitsubishi, roughly 5' x 3' apiece, 230-255W.
He's a super smart kid with entrepreneurial leanings who has been passionate about #solar for years. (He has literally read the 80s SolarEx tech manuals, among other things- like, he chooses this as light reading.)
He is cagey about his plans, stating that they are needed 'for experiments' and that they can live in the basement when not in use. He did state solemnly that his arrays would be limited to 'four to five panels, positioned on the driveway.'
This is not my area of expertise, nor my spouse's. In fact, as is often the case with our kids, we are feeling a little outmatched.
What do I bottom line need to know or ask about what he could be planning to make sure that he's not going to be electrocuted, take down the neighborhood power grid, cause major accidental damage to property, etc?

if I’d ever learned the Latin for what I
am his hand was gentle but adamant
on the nape of my neck, bringing my
eager mouth towards his."

An American activist was shot dead by Israeli forces on Friday during a protest against illegal Israeli settlements in the town of Beita in the Nablus district of the occupied West Bank.
Fouad Nafaa, the director of Rafidia Hospital, told Anadolu that the woman, who held US citizenship, arrived at the hospital with a gunshot wound to the head.
"We attempted to revive her, but she succumbed to her injuries," Nafaa stated.

When it comes to Americans killed by Hamas, they wasn't so silent. Most likely, American weapons were used for this murder, but the Biden administration doesn't like to hear such things. 🏴☠️

As accomplices, they can't do much without incriminating themselves.
Now they have to sit this out, wait for an Israeli investigation report, “which I'm sure is already underway”, and keep doing everything they can to help Israel “self-defend” itself against all the evil powers that want to attack them for no reason.
Interesting new instrument.

At a news conference on Monday, Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu enraged a broad cross section of the international community by displaying one map that excluded the occupied West Bank and another that showed a separate Western Sahara.
An often flamboyant media performer, Netanyahu likes to use visual aids to convince audiences to see the world the way he sees it.
Sometimes, the maps are used to show an expanded Israel.

Short-billed Dowitcher gyrations
This small, personable shorebird makes like a sewing machine as it feeds in the mud on the bottom of a tidal channel. Notice its flexible bill-tips and small serrations along its bill, useful for finding and grasping its buried small and slippery invertebrate prey. And, yes, SHORT-billed Dowitcher. Reminds me of an undergraduate friend, Little Ming. 5'10", 240 lbs, and a weightlifter. And then there was our other friend, BIG Ming...

Former Israeli National Security Council head Meir Ben-Shabbat on Friday urged the evacuation of northern Gaza and the suspension of humanitarian aid, advocating for the area to be declared a closed military zone.
Ben-Shabbat said that “remaining in the Philadelphi Corridor between Gaza and Egypt is not enough. We must also evacuate northern Gaza and declare it a closed military zone, stopping the entry of humanitarian aid."
