Even if he fixes it, I doubt you'll get the normal smooth gear selection back. Just change the gearbox and make sure it's an experienced gearbox mechanic that fixes it for you. 1 Like |

The one I got is Beebeejump. You pay a little amount and spread the balance over two years. This one you posted, I am not too sure about it because I can't see the brand name. The brand I can really trust are Bluetti, Ecoflow, Marstek and Oraimo. I'd advice you don't buy something that seems cheap because in the world of Solar power, the cheaper it is, the more likely it is to not last long rymalex: |

I don't think you need to worry about it retaining voltage. As long as the alternator works well, there shouldn't be a problem. The only issue is that many people that sell batteries are very dishonest and sell refurbished batteries claiming they are new so a battery that's meant to last for five years or more might start losing voltage after two years. boldx: |
| Technology Market › Re: Portable Solar Power Station by determination26(m): 8:20am On Nov 17, 2024 |
It works pretty well, but the number of things you can use depends on the battery capacity. I have one that's about 338 wh. I bought it mostly to power my laptop. If you buy the one with a solar panel, on sunny days you can power your devices with the power supplied by the solar panel while the battery charges for use when the sun sets. It's been a good investment 1 Like |

The best thing you can do is disconnect it from the generator,connect it back to the car and try if it will work. I believe the car and generator are in the same location so it shouldn't take you up to 15 minutes to confirm. My humble opinion |

Just go cold turkey. The first month will not be easy but it gets better after a while. Some people claim to smoke weed to help deal with life's issues. When the effects wear out, the issues are still there waiting for you. I smoked weed for a very long time but I've been clean for two years and all I can say is, it's a trap. That's why when you go to Abuja for examples, they call those places people go to get high Trap Houses, people go there to trap themselves one joint at a time and they think they are living the life. 3 Likes |

Such a sad news. Yesterday I was discussing CNG conversion with my uncle and his thought crossed my mind. I never met him but I remember how he was always willing to dish out info for free. I even watched one of his YouTube videos where he was testing a car he had converted to run with CNG. May his soul find rest in God's bosom.

Bro, acquiring tech skills is practically free if you ask me, there's nothing you want to learn in Tech that's not on YouTube. Udemy does promo practically every week and you can buy a very good tech course for less than 10k. The only thing you will really spend money on is data and to minimize data consumption, you can always set the quality of videos to a low resolution. Certifications on the other hand can be expensive but you can be lucky to land jobs even without certifications in some tech skills and when you finally decide to may e take a certification exam after securinga job that pays in dollars, you realize the certification exam fees are not so expensive after all. It's the free fall of the naira that has made us term these certification exam fees expensive davillian: 4 Likes |

I know you're just catching cruise, but let's assume you are serious here. I would advice that the time you'll invest into sitting in front of your laptop or pressing your phone can be invested into getting a tech skill. In the long run, it's better to be expecting sure >= $2000 every month legitimately than an uncertain $10k made from illegitimate means. Whatever rocks your boat though. 12 Likes |

I know I might sound harsh saying this but they have more issues to bother about than you feeding your cat mere 200 naira egg. What they need to be thinking about(even the grandma) is how they can do birth control after the birth of the next child since they lack self control and the man's pull out game is not tight. In my opinion, it's only poverty minded people that keep giving birth to kids when they are going through tough times.

You can try and get it unlocked. Most of the phones I've used over the past 10 years are from the USA. For some of them, you can get unlock codes which you enter into the phone(like *unlock code#) and it's unlocked, some work for Nigerian sims right out the box, no unlock/or unlock code needed while some won't work no matter what you do. The latest one I got is a Samsung A01 from Verizon, it worked right out the box, but the band I keep seeing is E/Edge which is somewhere between 2G and 3G. Good luck 3 Likes 1 Share |

Generally, when dealing with your eyes or any other body part, you need to be careful. The issue of red eyes, I don't necessarily agree with that. I used to smoke marijuana at one point in my life, that was the only time my eyes used to be red, then I always had visine eye drop in my possession but over time my eyes began to react to the eyedrops because visine is actually a steroidal drug and excessive use of steroids is bad in general. I quit smoking years ago and I've not had red eyes ever since and I use contacts everyday. It's advisable to take them off everyday but I've slept with mine three days in a row sometimes and nothing happened though i wouldn't advice that. If you've never used contacts before, the few days might be weird but you will be too excited with the clear vision to really care then as time goes on, you get used to it. Irritations only happen if you do not take precautionary measures like washing your hands thoroughly before putting them in your eyes and removing them from your eyes, proper storage with the storage solution. I don't know if you are a man or a woman but if you are a woman you might want to avoid putting on those fake lashes if you use contacts because I've noticed that it causes irritation for women. I had ulcer of the cornea once though but that was my fault, I kept wearing severely damaged contact lenses for days without taking them off. If contact lenses are bad, you will know and they are cheap and easily replaceable. I get a pair for 8k and they can last me for a year as long as I'm carrful. Some people also complain of dryness of the eyes when using contacts, there are eye drops that take care of that. Nutridelfarms: |

I'm myopic also, the refractive index of my glasses back in the days was -11. I hated using glasses because of the discomfort and also back then in School, people automatically equated using glasses to being a bookworm so I was always bugged by my classmates in the exam hall. I've been using contact lenses for the past 22 years now and the good thing about contact lenses for myopia is that, unlike glasses which make the vision clearer but objects appear slightly smaller in my experience, with contact lenses the vision is clearer but objects are not smaller. You could opt for contact lenses, that will enable you wear your sunglasses conveniently and still have clear vision. I would also love to do lasik someday, but, to be honest, I would rather do any procedure that involves my eyes in maybe India or other developed countries and not in Nigeria because trust me, if research says there is 1-2 percent chance of things going wrong, the Nigerian factor of negligence and not paying attention to detail will always come into play and increase it to 20-50 percent chance. At the end of the day, I might just continue using contacts for the rest of my life and always just have a pair of glasses for days that I don't want to use contacts. You also have the option of photochromic glasses that gets tinted under UV exposure and comes back to normal when you're indoors. 2 Likes |
