Re: 996 Battery recommendation/comments
Good idea. I bought a NOCO jumper thingie this winter. It will go in the 996 this spring. If it still cranks the car reliably, let it ride. Replace it when you start having weird electrical issues or it doesn't want to start quickly. I agree. My caveat would only be to replace it before heading out ...

Re: 996 Battery recommendation/comments
Ok so update. I have NOT purchased a new battery yet. I don't drive the car that often and never when it's winter. So other than summer heat the battery doesn't take much abuse. While stored in winter I always have a maintainer hooked up. My question is and I know it requires a crystal ball: Should ...

Re: Starlink
NASA has been f--king with that crap since 2011 and, of course, blown the budget numerous times...? Don't even get me started on Boeing. They can't even build a 737 Max without taking short cuts. Since NASA and Boeing can't launch shit these days without SpaceX, the Russians, and the French, maybe t...

Re: Starlink
Both of those represent a lot of crap up there floating around. BTW did you ever get your system working up in the mountains? The Starlink constellation sits in a really low orbit compared to most everything else... for example, here's what the Starlink orbit looks like compared to GPS: Starlink: St...
