Speak for yourself, I might make one!
Put up or shut up, Ron.
Or accessible at all!
I'd punch the alleged deals into camelcamelcamel to find they'd been similar for years. I've even found prices that went up!
Dude, these are SO fucking cool!
How do masons feel about Freemasons?
Edit: this picture is getting so much mileage this year.
People are much nicer as a whole here. I was on Reddit for years and I started to dread seeing I had replies to my comments. I'm actually excited when I get responses here.
It helps a ton. Facial massage and neti pots help me survive the worst congestion.
Oh shit, I didn't know about ESPhome. There goes my free time!
No kidding. I have a disability and was fired back in January for it (investigation and lawsuit pending). There are so few jobs I can do and it really sucks.

Failed electrical engineering major here - it turned out I was built to be a scientist, not an engineer, but it took a year of EE classes to figure that out.
Regarding energy storage, capacitors aren't much different than batteries, but they can charge/discharge faster, have lower energy density (units of stored energy per units mass), and self-discharge faster, hence why they aren't used in place of batteries. For something where weight and volume aren't an issue and with no need for long-term storage, like a solar-equipped house, a huge cap would be a great option. I'm trying to figure out how to build one of what's described it the article now.
The rate at which a capacitor discharges varies just like a battery, proportional to the resistance of the circuit. The reason most folks associate capacitors with "shorted terminals go boom" is the maximum rate of discharge on a capacitor is much higher than a battery, plus some capacitors operate at a much higher voltage than is practical for a battery, increasing the likelihood of generating a small arc. Shorting the terminals with a conductor makes a low resistance circuit so it just dumps its charge, whereas a battery would max out at a much lower rate, typically making a toasty wire versus a vaporized or melted wire.
