So, I'm planning on using a marine fuse block for power distribution. It can take 100 amps, so I'm going to add a 100 amp DC breaker before that.
I want to wire this thing up so I can safely deliver all the 100A it'll take in the event I need all 100A.
I'm having a hard time finding wire gauge charts for 12VDC. I know I'm gonna need something between 2 and 8 gauge, but I'm not sure which.
My longest run of power cable should be 25 feet or less. Should I use 2, 4, 6, or 8 AWG?

PSA:
Please #donate #blood .
I have a very rare autoimmune disorder that causes my body to attack blood platelets. It's called #ITP.
A routine blood test two days ago revealed that my blood platelets were dangerously low. If you don't know, blood platelets are what make you stop bleeding when you have any injury that causes bleeding.
I was scheduled for an emergency platelet transfusion. They couldn't give it to me because there's a critical platelet shortage.
Again, please donate blood.

Regular painkillers suck for toothaches.
They sell this stuff called anbesol, it's a liquid that comes in a little glass bottle. They sell it in a gel too but I recommend the liquid, it's easier and you don't waste as much.
You apply it right to the tooth and gums with a q tip or a finger and it works immediately. Cuts the pain in half at least. Highly recommend, helped me keep my sanity when I had a bum tooth and had to put off the root canal.

When I first got on the net 20 years ago, I was surprised to find myself talking with so many people with unique expertise and experiences. No conferences, tickets, reservations, or credentials required.
Then the myspaces and the facebooks and the youtubes overshadowed that internet. Their model is the same as television - dumb mass broadcast, not intelligent interconnection and interdependence.
One of the reasons I love #Mastodon is because here, that internet of 20 years ago is still alive.

2.5 lessons learned thus far from the Probably Switching to Ebooks Using Libgen And Random Torrents project:
1. Duplicate paper books are really easy to have if you have anything beyond a small amount of books. I've already found three instances of dupes.
2. Wow a lot of the books I have could've been ebooks right from the start, no way I would have kept these if I downloaded the ebook. Not worth the space.
2.5: This shit is almost too easy.

See, I think a UBI would help more people. Look at what happened during Covid where there was kind of a semi-UBI. Many people broke off and started their own businesses, started doing their own thing.
I want to see an explosion of local business rather than having all our eggs in one big corporate basket. We'd see some actual capitalism happening! Making it so people can try new ideas without going destitute would support this goal and we'd all be on a more solid economic footing.

I have a flipped view of welfare and UBI, I think there should be a UBI and that welfare programs should be eliminated and their funding directed towards a UBI. Primarily because the administrative bloat of many disparate programs could be greatly reduced with a single program.
I'm not hard-set on any particular conception of a UBI, however I do like the concept of a negative income tax.

That's what I was thinking. You could probably replace radio with cheap books as well if you wanted to go back further.
And when it comes to marketing to kids, the 50's and 60's are without compare. Those two decades made everything before and after look tame.
If you ever thought TV was real or something to aim for, it's you who has the problem, not a faceless, definitionless "they" you've invented to justify your angsty, pathetic adolescent outrage.

I'm trying to remember this old movie. It was set in the Alps with a killer cloud that later spawned huge aliens that thrived off of cold. There was also a village and the people locked themselves in a laboratory on top of a mountain and fought the aliens from the lab. They killed them with firebombs. And I think there was a woman who had premonitions or something. Anybody know what I'm talking about and what the title is?

Exactly, you aren't filling out 100+ pages, the reason it's that long is to answer every question you may have and cover every situation that may exist in the process of filling out the actual much shorter form.

The funny thing about "they didn't teach us how to do taxes!!!" is the government puts out a 100+ page instruction book every year along with the 1040 form that tells you exactly how to fill every box of that thing out.
