πŸ’› Florida Is Openly Hostile to African Americans

As a registered Black voter who has had his Black-held Congressional district gerrymandered out of existence, rest assured when I tell you things aren’t as bad as you’ve heard. They’re WORSE.

#OnThisDay, 28 May 1944, Sonia Butt parachutes into occupied France as an explosives expert for the British Special Operations Executive. She had turned 20 two weeks earlier.

She trained the maquis and coordinated sabotage operations. She was never captured.

It may have been a scam attempt, it may have been an honest mistake when a "real estate agent" started texting me, randomly, asking if I was still interested in that cabin at Big Bear. I'll never know, because after the 4th or 5th text - I never responded to any - I blocked the number.

I wanted to participate in #SilentSunday, but everyone knows I don’t know when to shut up.

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.

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. Wasn’t 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.
