A bit too hardcore for me, but can't fault his conviction.

Strange, I can't get the link to open. If I just click the link, (Firefox on Linux) it says "SSL_ERROR_INTERNAL_ERROR_ALERT". However, when I revert to http:// instead of https://, it loads a page saying:

Invalid url! /t/K2Wj4

Can anyone else tell - does it open for you?

Also Firefox on Linux, it loaded for me.

How did he disconnect from the grid and not have the electric company and city on his ass?

Nearly every day for the past 30 months, Mr. Spodek has lugged solar panels and a 17-pound battery up and down 11 flights of stairs to his roof to charge them.

Ok, that's commitment. I guess I should stop complaining about my crappy house and feeling that I am stuck on the grid. I at least have backyard and front yards.

This dude is just crazy enough to be my hero. I am legit going to change up some things because of this find. Thank you OP!
