On the way home i stopped by the store. Wanted to buy some cheese and pay with the self checkout. After scanning items and wanting to pay, the machine said the purchase required an attendant. I left the cheese there scanned and walked out.

I used to have similar problems at those walmart stores. Or lines that are overbearingly long as the store cant hire enough attendants.

This action... Leaving things and walking out such that someone else has to deal with it is the only way I can cause grief and confusion on why the sale wasnt made, without further wasting more of my time. No store attendant has ever asked. Im guessing others probably have done this protest as well, but it goes untalked about because.. time. If you work retail and have to deal with this, I am sorry that your store management and owners dont care enough to break down barriers. Lost sales are one thing, lost time is irreplacable.

I don't see why it wouldn't work, instead of the core of the RMH replace with solar powed Asics, instead of venting outside vent to a location where you need heat the most and let the mass release some heat at night when the asics aren't running. For it to be effective, you would need to generate more heat than you needed during the day and figure out how to charge the mass with it.

Happy Halloween 🎃 stay safe today and enjoy yourselves #coffeechain #plebchain

Good morning!

We can heat our well insulated 900sqft of living space to 65-70°f using around 2 cords of wood each year with our Rocket Mass Heater. We typically wake up to 65°f and burn a fire in the morning and another fire in the evening. A "J" tube burn chamber covered by a 55gal barrel creates radiant heat as well as a thermal pump which forces exhaust gasses horizontally though ducting in a large box filled with pea gravel. The gravel extracts most of the heat from the exhaust radiating it out slowly after the fire burns out. By the time the exhaust reaches the chimney it's 120-200°f down from 300-500°f at the barrel. The combustion is nearly total so very little smoke is exhausted and maximum BTUs are used to heat the space. Built with materials found at most big box hardware stores Rocket Mass Heaters are cheap to build, easy to source, and incredibly efficient. It is the favorite contraption I've built on the homestead.
