Squirts latest update wants you to stop scrolling and start hooking up

Squirt, the cruising platform, has recently rolled out an update to encourage more users to connect and engage with the app. The latest feature, called "Places," allows users to share their current location or indicate where they will be within the next hour. By tagging locations like gyms, bars, or beaches, users can signal their availability to meet guys in person.

This feature resembles a combination of Grindr's "Right Now" and Sniffies' "Share a Spot" functionalities. Squirt also updated its Cruiser Listings, a long-standing feature, with real-time check-ins. Users can now indicate when they've arrived at or are heading to a location, displaying active check-ins within a 45-mile radius. Rob Fisher, Director of Product Development and Customer Success, stated that the update aims to facilitate Real-Life meetups and provide a more spontaneous and faster way for members to connect.

As part of the launch, Squirt is offering unlimited access to view active check-ins for all Cruiser Listings for a limited time.

Will plug-in solar plus batteries solve your power problem? I did the math

It can't be just about harvesting solar power - it's also about storage, and time-shifting cheap, off-peak power to times when it's more expensive.

  • Plug-in solar systems with batteries can manage power costs but have limitations.
  • Time-of-use tariffs with peak/off-peak rate differences are necessary for effectiveness.
  • Storing power during off-peak hours and using it during peak hours can save $0.78-$3.34/day.
