They are booked out, because the insurance makes them go thru mutliple loops, wasting an insane amount of time. My dentist had to make 4 separate appointments for a root canal/crown, because the insurance required proving each sub-procedure, with x-ray for each one of them, that otherwise wouldn't be required. and I could've had it done in two.

    You could spend that saved $40 on the powder, and now you're sitting on ~4 years worth of detergent.

    Do the same for washing clothes.

    Buy foodstuffs in bulk when able.

    Same with personal soap/shampoo/etc.

    Now you're sitting on few hundred $ in savings a year.

    Just received my first meshtastic device. Unfortunately, as I expected, I couldn't connect to another node from home. Drove to the top of the skiing hill by my house, and was super excited to see nodes pop up. Tried DMing the closest one, but I didn't have much time to stick around for the response. Thinking about asking the general manager of the ski resort permission to put a router on top of the mountain (if I'm wrong about the mode, let me know, but seems router would be best fit). Does anyone have recommendations for outdoor solar panel ready-to-go kits?
