Guest Spot:I also was recently a guest on the Ignorance Was Bliss Podcast with Kate.There is a disclaimer at the beginning of each episode - listener discretion is advised.https://iwbpodcast.podbean.com/e/120-magical-connections-with-heather-from-sunshine-and-power-cuts/
In this Episode:I talk about the weather and how much I've been enjoying the nights outdoors.I answer a question about fruits and vegetables from Logan Naugle, co-host of Conversations with Creators and On the Subject which are also a part of the Geeks Rising Network.Then I have some questions about internet connections and I'd love to know your answers:
Have you been without the internet so far in 2019? How long have you been without it? Was it On purpose? Or due to an outage? How did it make you feel? Or if you haven't been without internet recently, how would you feel if there was an outage?And what did you/would you do in the meantime?
Follow up question, how long could you last without it?
Then I close the episode with a few thoughts on the article Off-Grid Microgrid: Solar + Batteries +Thermal Generation by Darrell Proctor.
