<p>So basically this thread is about some Aussie getting 15 minutes of fame by getting a solar wall, badgering his wife into not using appliances or other devices that she finds convenient, sharing large quantities of data about such things as how much moonlight his house gets, then him using the power from his work to talk online about it?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Each to their own hobby... not much different to going out and hitting a little white ball around a field for 4 hours, losing it numerous times and then always being pissed off because next time you think you will do better.</p>
<p>I guess when NTA plays golf though.. he makes Mrs Aussie carry his clubs (or more likely his neighbors clubs) and tells her to hurry the fuck up.</p> -

<p>Good point...... leave her at home not using modern appliances.</p> -

<p>She's got fire and clean water. That's enough. And the chain is long enough to get to the toilet.</p>

<p>Jeez for a minute there I thought you were having a stroke.</p> -

<p>Fire? So you let her burn fossil fuels.... so I guess all your talk of helping the environment is bunkum?</p> -

<p>Sounds like you've given up on sex though.</p>
<p>What do you use to power your fleshlight?</p> -
That surprises me. How could any woman resist a guy with a powerwall?

<p> </p>
<p>Of course. In fact, I've suggested they go with a lithium cell and waterproof USB charging port so I can feel less guilt about it. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'll still have the shame.</p> -
<p>At the moment, I can sneak the battery recharging cradle in if the facilities guys aren't sniffing around, looking for untagged equipment.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>But you raise an interesting point :think: if it becomes an internal battery, how do I get away with <em>that</em> in the testing lab?</p> -

<p>You can get POWERED fleshlights? I've only just moved on from 2 chicken breasts & a rubber band & now theres POWERED fleshlights?</p>

<p>Just need to figure out interactive charts now - WordPress can be a bit of a skank when it comes to inserting your own code. Might have to write my own plugin...</p>
