From Wikipedia, judge for yourself. You are right it would have been nice to include this in the summary!

In 2025, Hansson published a blog post[30] expressing support for far-right British activist Tommy Robinson and the 2025 British anti-immigration protests, as well as mourning that London is "no lounger full of native Brits", defining "native Brit" to mean white. Hansson published another blog post[34] in July of 2026 comparing the Romani population of Copenhagen to Denmark's struggles with its wolf population growth, stating that "When wolves get out of control, you shoot them. When gypsies take over public spaces, you deport them." Anil Dash and Rebecca Bailey expressed criticism of Hansson's post, decrying its "dehumanizing rhetoric" against the Romani people.[35][36]

Sorry misread your post. You described the backup interface as "something you will need" but I somehow thought you were saying that these plug in panels include it.

A cheap method that I think would work is to add an outlet to the plug-in panel which will continue working during a blackout (as long as the batteries and solar panel can supply power). Is that possible without adding much circuitry?

According to the article Trump is pretty successful, however he endorses LOTS of candidates, especially ones that will almost certainly win anyway. Previous presidents apparently only endorsed about 1/10 as many, and I would think they would endorse candidates who are in a competitive race (since why waste time endorsing somebody who is going to win anyway?).

Though I have some hopes for whatever replaces Trump, I do feel it is quite possible a far-left group elected as a majority will see voting restrictions and single votes (rather than some kind of ranked) as being just as advantageous to their extremism as they were to Trump's extremism, and will not change a thing.

I don't think the cheaper systems contain that "backup interface". The cheapest way I can imagine making that work will be for it to plug into the meter socket (and the meter plugs into it), and I suspect you need help from the electric company to do that. Is there any other way to install it?

I think there are already models that have batteries in them for exactly this. I would imagine they are much more expensive and heavy than a panel-only model.

Would it be possible to design these so they also have an outlet that remains working even when the inverter is disconnected from the plug? Then anything you plug into this outlet will keep working during a blackout.

I believe that is part of the safety regulations for these things: they have to detect that the main circuit breaker is off and not put any juice into the line. Not sure what happens during a blackout.

Is there 220V plug-in solar in the US? I think it would power both sides of a split 110v system, though I'm not really certain, and those are less common than they once were.

It absolutely does work. Washing machines are required to have anti-back flow valves so they don't pump water into the system.

Things changed. Demand keeps growing, and hardware availability is constrained.
Minis and Studios can do the work, and MacOS has enough of the Linux-ey bits.

Apple shows that when loaded with memory, they can do it really well.
Plus the bonus of being tiny and not a space heater under load.

So yeah. A new market opened up.

We (the residents of California) believe you, but the politicians/lobbyists don't.

Witness the real time collapse of our film industry.

The continuing damage from AB 5.

(see:

Trucking and Shipping Latest Victims of Californiaâ(TM)s âoeCruelest Law,â AB 5

https://www.pacificresearch.or... )

The 3d printer regulation bill (although we're just the latest state proposing this)

And the billionaire tax proposition.

The irony is if/when California does truly start running into difficult problems (all it takes is another financial downturn and our tax receipts will fall short), those same politicians/lobbyists will probably desert like fleas and migrate to adjoining states.

Can we just vote the bastards out? Please? It would also help if we could permanently attach scarlet letters that would essentially make them un-electable in the future.

If you want to "expose the far left" don't make yourself look stupid by complaining about things that are not "far left" in any way what so ever. In your last paragraph you seem to be sort of getting it. The quoted things are to appeal to intellectuals, as they would make the government more representative of the people and reduce the power of extremists. They are not "marxism" and I think that point will become painfully clear if they become the extremists, they will then pretend they never heard of such ideas.

Use the really dumb "defund the police" slogan (which if taken literally means there would not be any law enforcement). Don't make yourself look like an imbecile by claiming all kinds of random things they say are "marxism".

Just tried this and I'm not getting ads when asking for directions. Maybe I'm lucky?
