I am new to this and just skimming.

But at a glance, the article talks about Section 24220 of the “BIL” which does indeed talk about in-cabin monitoring. I wish I could find the actual section of the law on my phone, but this letter from NHTSA talks about it.

But the articles links seem to be about something completely different.

Sloppy AF, yes, and in that sense the article is bullshit. But the thing it’s warning about does seem to exist.

Those were the best days of my life

I don’t think I understand the metric.

If two people spend $10k a month, and person A puts it all on credits cards that they pay off every month without accruing interest, while person B uses physical dollar bills…

Does person A “accumulate” $120k per year in credit card “debt?”

Napoleon is always right

I’m laughing just as hard at the username and instance name. Lol

no dolan pls

Look up “FIRE” for “financial independence, retire early.”

tl;dr - save a larger chunk of your salary and invest it become part of the owner class, living off the interest, dividends, and capital gains surplus value generated by the working class.

I have no idea either

Trivia: This was used in the album artwork for Snakes and Arrows by Rush.

A couple suggestions then:

• I have a LabJack that I use for things like this. I’d put a sense resistor on the high side, tie that into one of the differential inputs, set up the (admittedly awful) software, and boom I’d have battery voltage and current over time. But that’s several hundred dollars.
• Instead of that, you can homebrew a pretty similar thing.
  • Either use your Pi or a separate Arduino to read voltages. Store it in a file or send it to a host PC over serial every [1-3600] seconds
  • You could get a module like this one to capture everything digitally
  • Or you could do it the analog way
    • Probe battery voltage with an appropriate resistor divider
    • Probe current with an INA169 or similar
• If you are using a BMS, that could give you net power flows in/out of the battery. But you won’t know from that alone whether your solar setup is functioning well or your power draw is low (for example)
• For battery state of charge, you could worry about coulomb counting and fancy algorithms. I’d just use voltage. But know battery capacity is not linear with voltage (refer to charge/discharge curves).
• For full understanding of inflow/outflow, you’d want a current monitor at both the solar cell side and the load side of the battery.

Are you talking about just characterizing one unit one time? How long is “extended?” Do you want time series data or just an average?

For a very simple setup, I’ve used current measurement on a DMM in average mode for ~30 minute durations before.

I wanna see the God Emperor’s reaction when this shows up on his feed

Also, supposedly 41% of people earning 300-500k/yr are “paycheck to paycheck.”

I couldnt find it just now, but there was a profile I read on one such person a while back. Of course, after paying private school tuition for 3 kids, monthly payments on their two Mercedes, and maxing out two 401ks, two iras, and hsa…they didn’t have much money left over every month.

So I’m willing to believe that the OOP was more about this than about actual hand-to-mouth situations

Usually when people say “pulse” in this context they’re talking about lentils.

In my search for a reference for you, I discovered that it’s a bit more complicated than that, and many beans are considered pulses too.
