I'm looking to finally make the leap to an EV and I really like the look of the Ariyas. I do like the new Leaf design, but it's out of our budget. What do I need to know in advance when shopping for an Ariya?

I just need to rant a bit for some of the dumb things people put in our recycling and organics bins lately that just irk the shit out of me.

1: Ice packs from mail order food vendors. So many people are throwing the whole ice pack in the recycling bin. A majority of them have instructions to cut open and pour the contents down the drain and then recycle the package with plastic bags (which we do not take). I know. Reading is really hard.

2: This new insulation in packaging, made from old rags or shirts or some sort of shredded fabric. It comes In a white plastic bag with no info on it, including no recycling triangle. I'm glad the company is trying to recycle this material even th

I'm a recycling inspector for my city. I was on route the other day and I opened a cart and was so disappointed that someone was trying to recycle about a dozen or so original He-Man figures. I turned the cart down for service since they are not recyclable through our program (there were some other items in there that didn't belong also). The whole time, I purposely made a lot of noise so the resident would come out so I could tell them why they shouldn't try to dispose of them. I'm also bummed because I couldn't take them with me or come back for them after work (we've hade people fired over these actions). I drove away all sad.

Is it already out there? I chuckle everytime Richard goes back in time on his show and makes that weird groan. I just think it would be superb if someone compiled them together in one big super cut of the noise.

Albeit a "dream" sequence.

My brother is an alcoholic. From what I can deduce, he drinks when he's stressed, which is a lot. He's going through a divorce and basically got kicked out of his own house (long story). Plus, the recent passing of our Dad. He was staying with a friend, but he burned that bridge. He needs help. I want to find him a program to help him get sober. I think he's tried AA, but I'm not sure if he took it to serious. I'd help, but I live in Texas, and our other brother lives in Noblesville. There's only so much we can do. Any suggestions or recommendations are welcome.

I bought two new 410W Hyperion (HY-DH108P8) panels to connect to my Delta 2 Max. How would the best way to wire it be to connect to both charging ports? Specs show this "11-60V 15A, single port 500W; dual port 1,000W" for solar charging.
