I doubt there are many handloaders on Mastodon, but just in case: folks frustrated with the attempt to revive #GRT after Gordon's unfortunate passing might find the Ballistics Swiss Knife useful. It has already replaced GRT in my use case.
I feed published load data from #Hodgdon, #Lyman, #Lee, #Hornady, etc, to BSK. If the estimated pressures and FPS line up I modify the load with my specific barrel lengths, projectiles, and charge weights. Make a ladder and chrono.

Watched two films worth recommending recently:
-
Redux Redux - low budget sci-fi/revenge story. The main actor is the sister of the directors but I can't imagine a better pick for the lead. She carries the film.
-
Project Hail Mary - funnier, more emotional, and more buddymovie than I would have thought, perhaps manipulatively so. But it was a fun watch and I'm generally not a fan of popcorn movies.

I worry that the base /can't/ walk away because they've made MAGA their identity. It does look like some Trump-voting independents are starting to see the scam.
@Tarnport@mastodon.green When I moved into a campervan in 2018 one of the few things I missed was my chooks... :-(

@pockets I got around the issue by using a heated mattress pad. It consumes 13w on the lowest setting and meant that I only need one blanket (fleece material). Dog approved.
I put 1" of XPS in most places, 2" of polyiso on the celiing, and 0.5" of polyiso at the head and feet of my east-west bed platform to ensure enough space. All the insulation was bought used or overstock from construction sites. Craigslist was my friend in the endeavor.

this is the best one-liner I've seen describing the vulnerability
During my hiring interview for TxDOT in 2011 I proposed this kind of solution to ID road problems proactively. I don't remember if they laughed out loud but the idea was not well received.
Was it from "Two Corinthians"?

* MAGA as kayfabe, the luring of the previously-disengaged pro wrestling audience into right wing politics. A kind of modern Southern Strategy but for the gullible mouthbreathers rather than habitual racists (not that they can't intersect)

@nicd@masto.ahlcode.fi I've brushed snow off my array as needed over the years. Panels are extremely robust and brushing them doesn't hurt them.
Since the panel starts to heat up after some of it gets sun exposure it might be sufficient to just brush the lower edge of the 8° array. It guess it would also be possible to mount a warming strip on the backside of the panels.
French "stock car" racing is CHAOS and I'm here for it. I once saw a race where within the first (comically short) lap one car was upside down on top of another, and the squished car was still piloting around the track with the other car on it. I've never seen racing where the roll cage was so immediately and frequently in use.
