You'd think. Right? In a CIVILIZED location, yes.

@Frood larger stores here won't do it

The cashiers need to scan something

A small business, if you buy something, they might do it, charge 5% for credit cards

 

[Frood]

Yeah, Rancid. You have to buy something here to be allowed to get cash out...

 

[THEONEANDONLYRANCIDMILKO™®©]

these days even hobos receive digital money, so what TA is going thru don't happen anymore

 

[Frood]

But at 2-3 dollar service fees at a non (your bank) atm, it pays to get money out at the supermarkets or post office here.

One thing I haven't seen in ages is a check

 

[THEONEANDONLYRANCIDMILKO™®©]

I hear people still use them a lot in the US

 

[THEONEANDONLYRANCIDMILKO™®©]

Especially the elderly

@Frood I've been withdrawing some cash lately

 

[Frood]

Leftists ruined cheques for everyone.

 

[THEONEANDONLYRANCIDMILKO™®©]

It keeps getting harder and harder to get

 

[Frood]

Cash is king.... silver, gold, or crypto is better. When shtf, barter is best.

People don't seem to be understand how easy is for communications to go down for several downs and that payment systems need them

 

[Frood]

I bought 12 x 20 litre plastic jugs of long life fertilizer concentrate... I'll use a few but the expectation is eventual barter good.

I'll be probably getting a 8kw/h solar array

 

[THEONEANDONLYRANCIDMILKO™®©]

I'm gonna use it connected to the grid, but keep the equipment to run a 3kw/h system in case of extended blackouts

I'm gonna use it connected to the grid, but keep the equipment to run a 3kw/h off-grid system in case of extended blackouts

 

[Frood]

Ex electric forklift batteries or something new and lithium or sodium ion based?

 

[THEONEANDONLYRANCIDMILKO™®©]

I see the age of people saving their piss for urea returning

 

[Frood]

Black powder or fertilizer.... either or.

 

[THEONEANDONLYRANCIDMILKO™®©]

I was looking into LiFePo4 batteries, but they're still 4x normal stationary ones

I was looking into LiFePo4 batteries, but they're still 4x more than normal stationary ones

A lot of fakes going around too

Doom and Gloom! Doom and Gloom! The world is ending and we're all gonna die!

I'm not planning on running a ton of stuff, but I do wanna make sure I have at least one room that can run A/C for some hours

 

[Frood]

SLA, AGM are cheaper and less likely to burn your house down. Ex electric forklift batteries are super heavy and have lost a lot of their rebound ability to keep and hold a charge, but are pretty cheap, so doubling or tripling up on them in sunny climate means you always have juice. Sodium ion are meant to be the bees knees but have only recently started to get rolled out.

@Reggie_Essent at least I won't have to tolerate you jagoffs anymore lulz

 

[Frood]

If you want aircon for a small room for some hours of the day, get a Zerobreeze Portable AC camping unit, and two lithium battery packs. Each pack will power for approximately 5 hours, the unit can be run off mains power directly. The batteries recharge (draw) on mains power at just under 600 watts. So you'll need 700-800 watts of mains power to recharge or use the optional 24/12 volt adaptor, but that takes much longer to recharge the batteries. If you have a diesel generator or petrol, easy done though. Just add fuel preservative to your stock, rotate it, and keep the tank/s out of direct sunlight which degrades fuel quickly even with stabilizer.
