I could go into the safety aspects of this, but honestly the biggest issue is that he has tons of mixed cells (you can't really tell until the end of the video, since he puts similar cells on the exterior of the packs, presumably for cosmetic reasons). Using mismatched cells of vary ages means the individual cells might have very different full charge capacities and impedance during charge and discharge. Even he does everything safely, this will impose a bunch of restrictions on the overall capacity of the battery banks, as well as their overall efficiency.
He has another video where he explains how he tests the cells, and how he rejects something like 75-80% of all cells because they're not up to his required specs.

All his videos have really stupid titles and aren't really topic focused so I can't find it now, I just had his playlist running so I don't remember the specific video title.

It smells like ozone. It's a distinctive smell, you start to recognize it very quickly. It's that 'clean' smell in the air after a thunderstorm in low concentrations, or the sweet-burnt smell of the magic smoke leaving a blown capacitor.

Is that a whale vertebrae and maybe a coyote? skull on the left there? In the garden area, not the table.

Anyone wearing high heels to a dinner party at that table must be pro as gently caress at walking through loose gravel, lest their ankles break.

I have to admit, I do think thats a pretty sweet fuckin table.
I'd drink the poo poo out of some wine there.

I'd love it if those plants were actual vegetables though. Just tear one off and mow down while you're waiting for the main course.

Based on color, I'm guessing there are a couple kinds of lettuce (yellow-green and red towards the front), and two different types of basil (the taller, dark purple plants towards the back, and the green stuff behind that). If that's true, the rest is probably edible too.

I'm a filthy millenial surrounded by other filthy millenials who are mostly too broke to buy houses, so maybe wallpaper just isn't on our collective radar. :shrug:

Or they paint their walls, like literally everyone(who isn't in an apartment that won't let them) around me does. Admitedly it's harder to do fancy patterns with paint, but considering how many godawful wallpaper patterns I've seen in old house photos...

Ok this is way back but back when we were dating, my wife rented this house that had nightmare wallpaper in a bunch of rooms. Here's some samples:






This last one.. close up, it's obviously little flower things. But from more than about a foot away, it looks like a wall full of skulls.




It was kind of a cool old house, it was just full of decorating/design mistakes.

Work with a man who's got a family member there at the District 11 office in Lufkin who said there were 5 things that went wrong: 1) tar wasn't hot enough coming out of the spigots during the 2nd application after Harvey rains destroyed the gravel and tar applied 2 weeks ago. 2) road was too cold to apply tar after days of heavy heavy rain from Harvey. They applied it early in the morning 3) they did not press gravel deeper after gravel was dumped on tar 4) no lanes were closed. Cars immediately allowed on afterwards. 5) they laid gravel about 2 weeks earlier and the company who supplied the gravel gave dirty gravel. Little dust and sand particles covering it all which didn't allow the gravel to adhere properlyto the tar during the initial application.

More of a crappy construction worker story:

My boss was doing a site visit to a highrise under construction and while he was talking near a window with the site super they noticed what looked like rain outside the window. Rain? But it's not even cloudy. Also... is it slightly yellow? Wait, if this PISS?!?!

The guy ran up to the 10th floor like a terminator to catch a guy at the edge of the building doing his pants up. Fired him on the spot and yelled at him, was angry but also just so shocked why he would think that was an ok thing to do. From the 10th floor with a slight wind his piss misted the entire construction site below.

Now any time I walk past a construction site and there's anything dripping or I feel droplets I instantly think I'm being pissed on.

poo poo, what's wrong with you that you don't want to piss off a 10th story building. I'm imagining how awesome it would be, knowing how amazing it feels to piss on a tree, and that's at ground level.

I agree with you if we were talking about solo at an abandoned site, having pissed from a few moderate cliffs I can only imagine how good it'd feel 10 stories up, but this sounds like an active construction site. Only a pane of glass separated two people from getting pissed on, apparently.

That is really not a crappy construction story, I want to know what it's like to poo poo out of a 10 story window. And how the hell could the boss run up 10 flights of stairs in time to find someone still taking a leak? Unless we're talking about like a camel taking a leak takes maybe 30 seconds at most there is no way the boss could have been more than 1 or 2 floors away.

At least the guy didnt try to use the nonfunctional toilets to take a poo poo.

There's a reason some new construction builder-pack toilets come with a latex seal that's basically a DO NOT SHITPISS warning.

Nothing beats hooking supply lines in the Los Angeles summer while having a 4 layer fecal lasagna in the bowl next to you. Bonus maggot Olympics taking place in the bowl.

Most oven doors lift off the hinges after you open it 6" or so.

They're not light though, so I could see how it would get old having to do it all the time. Plus, handling a hot, heavy door.
