Pretty close! Swap the mash for tots and the gravy for cream soup.

I did HQS inspection training once upon a time and that definitely would have made it memorable!

Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. It wasn't enough money to make me go down another research rabbit hole, which I suppose they basically count on.

His video convinced me to go for it ("it's just wires")! I had a double slot left in the panel. I'm now technically above the calculated load for our service, but I scheduled charging for late nights and below the max rating of the charger.

With 2 vehicles to charge and one being a 130kwh truck, I needed a second circuit at the very least.

With how much I drive the truck (not a lot, I work from home, about to hit 3500 miles in 11 months), a 240v 20A is even more than enough. But I installed what the mobile charger you see is rated for (32A max, but the plug says 30A ... ?) because I whole-ass anything I do. And now there's a 14-50R for my dad to plug his camper into if he ever decides to visit his grandson.

 

Installed a 40amp circuit for the EVs after charging a PHEV for 5 years and a BEV truck for almost a year on a single 15amp circuit.

50ft x 8 AWG x 4 wires isn't cheap ($1.32/ft with tax), plus conduit, straps, breaker, wet location boxes and outlet cover and the extra cost for an EV rated outlet.

Wasn't room between the post and the garage door king stud for a flush mount box, oh well.

I'll pay the electrician for a proper hard-wired charger when we upgrade service and run it from the main panel instead.

You can use a stick to throw a rock in curling. I've played with several old farts who are better with a stick than I am with a typical delivery (which is also somewhat hard on knees).

Material themes definitely tend to be softer. I hate them as a rule.

Gruvbox material fg0 definition

Edit:

Surprisingly, this passes a basic accessibility check. https://webaim.org/resources/contrastchecker/?fcolor=654735&bcolor=F9F5D7

"Hard" (high contrast) should use the bg0_h value for the background: #f9f5d7 or rgb(249,245,215).

This is a light "off white". If you have blue blocking mode or a night color mode enabled, the yellowing effect will be exaggerated.

For what is worth, I don't think gruvbox makes a good light theme because it's pretty low contrast especially compared to a lot of more recent themes. I say this as a die hard gruvbox dark user.

I don't think that there are enough gasoline pumps.

Remember, you have to put one on both sides of the pump in many places. And then you've got places like Buc-ee's with 120 pumps.

So I think you're actually underestimating by a lot!

I charge both my ridiculous Lightning and PHEV Volvo this way.

But I'm on track for only about 3500 miles for the year (10 months in) on the lightning.

 

I took the toaster apart and cleaned the contacts for the lever that signal the hold down while toasting. Now we don't have to stand there and hold it (that was 3 morning routines slightly out of order).

I had to buy a set of special bits because someone decided they needed to use security torx bolts in the corners hidden under the feet. This was of course in addition to the 14 regular old #2 Phillips screws. But it's always nice to have a reason to get new tools.

In other news, the clean signal started flashing on on the espresso machine today, so I have another little project for tomorrow too.

I don't really have anyone else to shout at about this, but it's an amazing way to host services in rootless containers entirely in user space using systemd (systemctl --user).

Anyone else spending their weekend with the Sonoma action?

I've been jumping between the feeds for all the races/qualifying today. The Toyota GR Cup was particularly fun to watch. The new McLaren series seems like it could shape up pretty well too!
