So... me. Work in aerospace, more space, not as much aero. Can fix my own car, choose not to. Can fix the random appliance of your choice. Hardcore introvert in person, which is why I love online. Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing. Together with a guy 30+ years, married since it was legal. Own a home in CA and don't plan to leave unless I immigrate to another country.

I don't mind waiting in line, but I refuse to use self-checkout. It's just an excuse for companies to not hire cashiers and make more profit.
You want me to check out my own purchases? Hire me, and give me a paycheck. At least give me a discount.
How do my #ActuallyAutistic comrades feel about queuing?

Maybe? They're definitely a manufacturer of EV chargers, but who knows what else they do, what with diversification these days?

I had an electrician come in and install the outlet, all I have to do is install the bracket and plug it in.
Plan B is 3/4" plywood screwed into the studs on either side of the power panel, and then 1" wood screws to hold the bracket in place. That avoids the whole "drilling into the power panel" unpleasantness.
@ScottSoCal I called an electrician even though my DIY self knew I could do it. Wasnβt too costly and if something goes wrong I have some else to blame.
I'm mounting an EV charger in the garage. I had it marked, measured, leveled, the drill in hand and ready to go through the wall. Just before I pulled the trigger I mentally went through everything one last time.
Oh, wait. Yeah. That spot, just above the plug the electrician installed? That's where the main electrical panel for the house sits. Yeah, drilling through the wall there may not be the best path for continued health. Time for Plan B.

We're both fully vaccinated, boosted, and don't have any comorbidities. He self-quarantined in the house while he had it, or we both masked if we were in the same area of the house. I didn't get it, and he's recovered.

My husband just had it.
Please tell people about this, it really helps me out!

I don't know if this is a trauma thing, or an autism thing, but as I've gotten older (and it's harder to pretend) tears are a lot closer to the surface than they used to be. Sad tears, happy tears, overwhelmed tears. They just pop up, out of nowhere, and I'm left with red eyes and a runny nose.
*hands you a large plate of an assortment of chips and dozens of cheeses*
*brings spare dog in for petting as an option*
*Steers all the people away to snack table #2 to give you space*
Extra bonus: You get ribs.
I'm the guy at the snack table, glaring at the chips so no one will approach me. Or, worse, try to talk to me.
If Mastodon had a party in real life and you were there, which person would you be?
I am the one trying to get the board games going.
A light year-round body.
Unless you have a light-year round body, which would be very different.
