If the massive army of *mainly* priveledged, Cis-Het, White 'experts' currently wringing their hands over the "Death of Democracy" had put in as much fucking effort into fighting authoritarianism and punching nazis as they have hand-wringing, maybe we wouldn't be in this shit hole. (1/3)

The worst thing about do not die medication is that while you take it to make sure your life doesn’t come to an unexpected and early end, it is also medication to expedite that same thing.
My body aches. My heart is dying. I don’t know if I will too.
Just fuck this timeline.

Don’t you just *hate it* when you replace an OEM part with a pattern that should work, but doesn’t? # EVSE
I can’t see why the new relay isn’t working, but it wasn’t. I’ll apply 12V across the coil to figure it out.

You know how to do things that are radical. You know how to fix and mend and protest. You know how to grow and nurture.
Be ungovernable. Share those skills.

I've been playing #BG3 since Feburary 29th last year. I started my first playthrough the day I crashed my truck.
Still on my first play thru (Durge drow bar-bear-ian but resisting ) and yesterday I got to the battle with Rafael.
First time success in the battle OH YEAH.

Totally NOT an EE - but the TLDR is that I need to switch how I'm powering a drain of 7.2 W (max) 100μΑ (min). Always on circuit needs to disengage when the switched circuit goes live - and the switched circuit then needs to power the drain.
Am I on the right track? What component should I use?

Part 2 of 2 - in a similar #Geography game. Like part 1, DO NOT USE AI. You MAY use Mapping software, but you must come up with the rout.
What's the furthest direct distance between two cities in neighboring states you can drive? Again, you cannot cross into other states for this challenge.

Got a new #SaturdayFun #Geography game for you. Part 1 of 2.
Which two neighboring state capitols in the contigious US are the furthest from one another by road? You cannot travel through another state to get between them, but you must travel by mapped, navigable public roads (no trails).

#WomensHistoryMonth: The City of Women Map is a fascinating visualization of women’s history and urban transportation. Created by Molly Roy, Rebecca Solnit, and Joshua Jelly-Schapiro, the map renames subway stops after notable women with links to that area, offering an entirely new way to view #NYC.

Ok, so I was wrong. Turns out #Wago does a waterproof box that's now approved in the U.S. that will be PERFECT. So I'll be ordering those ;)

So, I would like to #crowdsource a solution to an #ElectricalEngineering #EV problem.
I need to safely split a J1772 split-phase input into two parallel chargers inside a project vehicle. Each charger is capable of 3 kW. How would YOU do it?

In unrelated news, it appears all I need to do to get one of our two Emporia Vue 2s working is to order the parts I thought I needed to fix it.
It stopped working nearly 11 days ago, but suddenly started working again after I ordered the replacement parts. Oh well! #HomeAssistant

Tired: Every year I think I've beaten the vile #ItalianArum, and every year it comes back.
Wired: I have managed to grow 40 #Strawberry starts. I think there's still some more in the plot. Alas, I don't know the variety as I've forgotten.
#HMU if you're in the PNW and want some. #Gardening.

I think this is it, folks. Granted, I AM considering annealing these in the oven in some sand to improve their temperature and strength resistence, but... what do you think?

If you live in #pdx #portland, you might know of a small local chain called #FriedEggImInLove.
They’re a special treat for me. But I’m also 20 miles west of Portland
Today… I made my own!

My final print of the weekend should be the final prototype.
This has been a fun learning experience, and I hope I can keep the vibe going. #diy #3dPrinting #EVs.

Today, I was a little... selfish.
I spent much of today modeling and making prototype battery covers for our Vectrix VX-1 battery upgrade. The covers will eventually be printed in high-temperature resistant materials, and prevent accidental cell shorting. #DIY #Maker
Much progress was made.

I fear that I have failed by not being as clear as I could. Maybe if I’d been more vocal. Did I help give him that power, inadvertently, by advocating for EVs? Sure, I’ve never owned onr of his company’s vehicles. But could I have done more to stop his insane rise to power?
