I've been slacking on updating this thread, but here is another ICE horror story for the collection: bsky.app/profile/donm...

Also annoying when after asking for a price you are stuck with a pushy/aggressive salesperson that won’t take no for an answer

Heartbreaking

People are the worst

Yea a few folks on the various Oechsle power group e-mails noted it.

And McCormick has voicemail but rarely acknowledged you contacted him and even when it does it’s just some mass form email

I think it was you that mentioned that awhile back so I tried that number but still no voicemail. Maybe my number was on some sort of auto disconnect list

I haven’t gotten a voicemail option when calling him very early on this year

As a followup our administrative assistant reached out to Aquaneering and it seems there webstore is wonky and we can actually get it for only $40 shipping if we order through them via phone/e-mail rather than use the webstore.

There were lots of hot takes after the last election, some of which were pretty stupid, I think you look at both elections the real takeaway is if voters are unhappy they are going to vote for the other guys, so the key to winning elections is doing things to make voters happy. What a crazy idea.

I actually voted by mail weeks ago, but they mail you a sticker with your ballot here.

And it continues bsky.app/profile/news...

But I am all for that pre7am sunrise

So also lots of late nights running extension cords, setting up portable ACs, and moving stuff to the one fridge we have in the building on backup power. We intentionally shutdown power for a day each year and also lose it a lot. I think the record was 8 times in a year.

The electrical panel to put stuff on our generator is full and somehow this has been an unsurmountable problem since I got here back in 2017, so thankfully my fish system is on, but no HVAC, fridges, freezers, rotifer stuff, incubator, etc.
