“It’s time to end the era of stupid wars” – Peter Thiel
FULL SPEECH: Tech Entrepreneur PETER THIEL Speaks at Republican National Convention
Peter Thiel receives a standing ovation during his speech at the 2016 GOP Convention.
Testing the DC remote switch with a 20v battery running through a 12v DC converter .. Working out as I hoped it would ..
The first of my newly improved battery harnesses with an inline fuse to protect the terminals. Ryobi battery measures in at 20 volts as it should.
It wasn’t that long ago when Ireland, Greece, and Bankruptcy were spoken in the same sentence .. 12.5% corporate tax rate .. 26% GDP growth .. A good problem to have .. Maybe take some notes ..

“The economy grew 26 percent in 2015, officials from the Central Statistics Office told a stunned room full of economists and reporters in Dublin on Tuesday. Previously, they had estimated growth of 7.8 percent.”
“The figure is mostly explained by the open nature of Ireland’s economy and its attraction to U.S. companies seeking access to a 12.5 percent tax rate.”
Ireland’s Economists Left Speechless by 26% Growth Figure
In three days, Jim Power is due in London to brief the British-Irish Trade Association on the state of the Irish economy. Now, he has no idea what he is going to say.
If you think that plagiarism, an irrelevant issue, by a potential first lady, an inconsequential position, is an issue worth spending even a single brain cycle on, then you’re the idiotic american voter that you keep complaining about ..
I upgraded out under sink filtration system to a reverse osmosis tank based one recently. But the reverse osmosis systems put out brine water; clean but not drinkable and a terrible waste down the drain.
So at Rushna’s suggestion, I bought a 50 gallon rain barrel so that I can keep the brine water for gardening purposes. But of course with city water pressure running at 80 psi and the rain barrel having none I knew it was time to get creative.
I went to harbor freight and bought a cheap $30 12v DC water pump with garden hose connectors.
I didn’t want to deal with AC and I have these 18v ryobi batteries that I use for all my tools. They’re versatile and useful in other areas. I’m already using two of them in series to run my crappy old 24v sealed lead acid lawnmower at 36v; more power. I decided I’d use one of them for the water pump.
I also wanted to have a remote on / off switch so I found this cheap 12v car alarm relay that will let me turn the water pump on and off from distance in the garden.
While the water pump will run at 18v, albeit it very fast, I was nervous that the 12v car alarm relay would be more sensitive to higher voltage, so I also got this cheap 12v voltage regulator.
I haven’t had a fun exciting electronics project in a while so I hope it all works out and doesn’t blow up in my face.
