Sidenote for anyone wanting to do this but not in a goddamn box truck. You can buy used ambulances on ebay that you just have to strip the running light and siren off of and they are fully road legal. You get massive maintenance records, a fully integrated and powered electrical system with batteries and inverters for power along with cutoff switches. A bench seat you can easily rip off and convert to a twin bed. 3 points of egress. A big old captains chair you can keep or toss. Keep the cabinets or rip them out but they are great for storage. If it's a vanbulance it's not a massive bitch to backup but will be smaller without the side panel storage. If it's a type 3 box truck you'll have storage for days and the interior is big. Come with 240 volt inputs for stationary charging Bad side. The type 3 will suck down gas and typically gets like 8 to 10mpg many are diesel. They suck poo poo to backup, and the suspension is stiff due to the weight of the box. Tires will be a shitload when they need replaced and you need 4 on the back of a type 3. Almost all of them will be 200k or more miles of hard long distance miles. But by god they will be running. Quick glance in ebay literally had one 3 hours away from me for 4 grand. And a type 3 at 9grand that I legit would get if I was doing a mobile home. Like these things are definitely what I'd do instead of an rv for traveling because besides needing bathrooms they'd be easier and cheaper to fix with less proprietary parts (everything's based off ford or gm fleet trucks with a box dropped on it instead of a bed) they largely aren't filled with garbage you don't need and are more efficient. Buy an ambulance not a box truck

Now I ponder random things like can I create a circuit if I get stranded in the woods via wild potatoes and salt water channels, and if so what would I power.

I guess I also question at this point the minimum requirement for consciousness. Is my mind just electrical current? And if so that has a lot of implications. Or is my mind just a centralized consensus of the will of my cells. If so then my cells are stupid. Is the world an evolving organism and we are just cells driven instinctively to building its organs such eyes via telescopes, ears via sounding equipment. Being its asexual reproduction by colonizing other planets and so on. Or eventually making it become carnivorous by consuming asteroids and other planets to feed it. One of the other issues is well we are really messing up the homeostasis qualification of a life form.

I use to eat wild potatoes in west Virginia so I was no this isn't a South America thing, so I looked it up for the Carolinas, and was like oh I know that plant. Now I must steal them and grow them on the land of MurderHaus so that my guests will not be lacking in wild potatoes.

You really have spent time on this Yeah, I was riding up to Indiana to drill some site for solar panel farms when I was like, I think it is the responsibility of modern individuals to know how to harvest and use electricity akin to how we use fire, and I was like, but could I make electricity in the wilderness using salt water as the a conductor. Then I was like okay. I have a conductor, now how do I produce a current, and I was like well salt interacting with water to create salt water would create a potential right? Of course with most anything someone has already thought of it, so I Googled if something related to that subject had popped up and sure enough there are a couple of companies trying to set up estuary power plants capitalizing on the influx of fresh water interacting with salt water. Kind of cool.

Paladinus posted:Why not grow cultivated potatoes? Let ducks eat their potatoes, we have human potatoes now. I likely won't eat the wild potatoes, but the Strattera potatoe plant may help bolster the native ecosystem near the land of MurderHaus. So another side story which is how I know of the Sagittaria plant and since I brought up the lake nearby. So the lake I had been living near has a man made ecological problem (go figure), but essentially we had a massive mosquito problem because they kept mowing too close to the lake and killing the plants that the minnow hide in so the minnow were confined to a small strip of shallow beach to avoid bigger fish instead of circling the whole lake. Minnow are important because they eat mosquito larvae and are prey for dragon fly nymphs who eat flies and mosquitos in adulthood. I was going to join the lake council in the area and do a whole ecological research project to examine the effects of reintroducing the plants, but apparently I told enough people that the managers of the private lake took note and stopped mowing so close. Still probably need to reintroduce the plants. Anyway, so growing the plant on the land of MurderHaus next to the creek would actually be a good thing. Edit to add more: so how I was going to conduct this research was to set up two aquariums one with native plants, minnow, and critters from the lake in a native walstad tank and another tank as a control using just pet store fish and plants. Then after establishing the baseline add the missing plant to see how everything reacted. If it worked well I would reintroduce the plant in a pond, then a quarantined section of the lake, and if that was favorable just let it regrow throughout the lake. Unfortunately that project was scrapped before I collected the native plants and such because I was in line to do a construction project in Antarctica. They gave that work to some people from north Dakota though. Ended up doing an aquaponics experiment instead to see how well I could grow rice with the minnow I had.

Do Not Fear Jazz posted:Certain Mercedes fleet vans are also very good. Come with 4WD and a bit newer for 8-12k. The draw of an ambulance is the electrical is all upgraded with a more powerful inverter with idle system set for power production and reduced engine wear and gas usage. Along with a built-in 240 input for stationary charging and use. And since they are built to defined known standards and have strict maintenance requirements you can know what your getting. Get a duramax engine and it won't die. A little more money but cut out all that risky electrical stuff your kill yourself with if you do it wrong, and have built in storage inside and outside!
