Oh damn, Lee. Sip something wet while you feel sorry for yourself, okay? I hope you start feeling better.

ice chips if you can't do anything else
Oh, that's no good, Lee. I hope you feel better very soon. Or now. Now would be better.
Eek, Lee. Don't stall on going to the ER if you feel you need it. That can dehydrate a person pretty fast.
Robin, yes on the symptons. As these things go, it's not that bad. I suspect the worst may be over already, in fact.
I suspect Top chef is a no go for me tonight though.
eta: Thanks for the sympathy, everyone.
Hope you feel better, Lee.
Poor Lee!
Feel better, Lee! Also adding to the warning to watch out for dehydration.
Yep. I'm watering myself as I can.
Honestly, if a village doesn't have any electricity, charging batteries is a great deal.
ita, a really belated reply: for this level of usage PV is lower cost than putting up a grid - cause a grid is really expensive per kWh of you don't put many kWh through it. But for normal usage a grid is cheaper. One bitter joke I've heard about this is that PV is to expensive for rich people; only people living on a few dollars a day can afford it.
You would never use PV to heat water though: a conventional solar water heater would work better for that if someone provided the money. The lower end solar water heaters can't keep heat all night, so you'd have to time your hot water use from between mid-morning to say a few hours after sunset - still a lot better than no hot water.
