Do not use power tools on these. These are not meant to be used with power tools.
The installers used power tools on these. I know that because I found broken bolt heads.
If you have a neighbor who has these solar panels on their roof, be a good neighbor and check them out. Just pop up there and see that these fasteners are actually installed correctly.

typed all the addresses into a single "To" field.
This act earned him the nickname "The Father of Spam" and led to

PTCI shared information about the Foundation for Rural Service Community Grant Program, which may help local nonprofits, schools, and community organizations fund qualifying rural community projects. I put together a simple printable worksheet based on the application guide so organizations can quickly gather the information needed before applying. The worksheet follows the information requested on page 2 of the grant flyer.

It'd be cool if mastodon had an auto translate feature like reddit does.
But then again, that would hamper me learning Spanish.
@lilithfromseattle@mastodon.social @rey@toot.cat no clue about the trans thing. That's of no consideration to me.
I'm talking about AI. Pointing out that it's here and is useful. Whether you like it or not.
The ethics of its use are up to the person using it. AMD like any new tech. The regulation of its use will come with time. First we have to figure out what it's misuses are before we can even begin making constructive legislation.
I'm being met with, well follow the post lol
Beaver County Stockyards is absolutely right about what we need to do for our water.
Frankly, we need to adopt these new farming technologies that are available to us to help us conserve our resources and get more production out of our land.
The Ogallala Aquifer is the reason why the US has such a booming agricultural economy and playa lakes are a big resource for refilling the Ogallala Aquifer.

@QasimRashid@mastodon.social wow, what a perfect response.
It's like my modem knows I'm trying to work. Every time today I've set down today to do this one online task the network has gone down.
But during the down time I finally had time to switch to PTCI…. So, hopefully this will be the last time I've got to deal with this. Hmmmm…. I spose that means I won't need this smart plug to restart the modem anymore.
Has anyone come up with a funny name for ppl who are anti AI?
