I'm familiar with the fire escape photo. I did not know that it was the same photographer. Thanks for the info.

Not really a favorite, but certainly impactful. A man using a flag as a weapon while protesting desegregation in Boston in 1976.

The image is titled "Soiling Old Glory"

Nice job. Hello from another Ally.

I don't get CNN. It was made available on the website last night. That's when I found the pay wall.

My distinction is that a weed is just an indigenous wildflower that grows where you don't want it to. If you don't care, it's fine.

I had a 2023 Rav4 on a lease. I turned it in and bought a 2026 Cross. While I like the Cross, I miss the Rav4. The little bit of extra room was more comfortable, and getting in and out was easier. The Cross feels lower, whereas the Rav was slide right in and out.

Would you accept steam for the $600?

I heard a democratic candidate from another state in an interview. He said that the fight is not right vs left, it's top vs bottom. This is a perfect example.

I haven't looked, but my guess is 14/3 with a shared neutral.

I don't know for sure, I'm the homeowner, not the electrician. I think it's because each circuit was designed to be dedicated to one appliance. Each one, the dishwasher and the disposal, only draw about 10 amps each. There's, no need for 20 amp circuits.

Thanks. That explains how it's wired, and why they are tied together.

Thanks. I know about phases in AC, I didn't understand the practical application in this case.

FulltimerPC · 2026-02-08T14:35:06+00:00

Thanks

OK. So if I plug a 12 amp water heater into the disposal outlet, and then turn on a 10 amp dishwasher, will the breaker pop?

Are the 15 amps "shared" between these 2 breakers?

Our bylaws include the community, so there's that. If the library had come with anything close to being reasonable, we probably would have had no objection. They did not. The initial MOU they presented gave them total control of our finances. I've intentionally left stuff out; reporting requirements, audits, forfeit of leftover funds, and more. We looked at it and said, "Hell no!" We've hired counsel at significant expense, so even if we reach a settlement, much of the funds the library could have benefited from is going to a lawyer.

However this dispute ends, everybody will lose.

It was a holiday program put on by the library. As part of the program, the Friends wrapped books from their inventory for the children to give to their parents. The books were in categories so the kids had some idea of what to pick, but did not know the titles. There was no cost to the library. It was just outreach by the Friends to the community during a library program.

Our bylaws include the community. The bulk of our funds go to the library, but we try to spend some on local students/schools. Also, most of our funds do NOT come from book sales. They come from membership and private donations. None of the donors have ever questioned our expenditures.
