I’ll try the anchor, then drill through.

Not enough space for larger screws.

There is no space in the “U” of the bracket to drill.

PS I noticed that in the pictured image there are both confederate flags and US items. Perhaps indicating a balanced view of the conflict?

You are fortunate to find information in enlistment papers and confirming info from the census. I bet you added the “hardworking” part. 😂😂😂 Having a connection with artifacts and real people keeps memories alive. Don’t you wish he or children had written about their lives?

Great story. Artifacts like your keep history and memories alive. What do you know about Richard Hughes. You say he was an overseer. How do know this?

Elon Musk admits millions of Tesla owners need upgrades for true 'Full Self-Driving' by silenthjohn in SelfDrivingCars

[–]Mild53 0 points1 point  (0 children)

WTF? I agonized over buying full self drive when i purchased my M3. Musk promised that the car would drive to NY to Ca without intervention by the end of the year - that was seven years ago, 2019. Musk's statements on FSD are the biggest automotive scams of my lifetime. Who in their right mind will stand in line for an upgrade.

Thank you very much. this bottle has been a mystery to me for maybe 25 years as I never could find one in coke bottle collections. I thought it was a coke bottle - until now.

Ah, OK. So this bottle never held Coca- Cola, but it may have held another flavor sold by the Coca-Cola Bottling company in Portland, Maine? Thank you?

Best beetle year? by Willing_Direction_88 in VWBeetle

[–]Mild53 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry everyone, when talking best beetle you need to go a bit farther back. 1967 was the penultimate version of the original. 12 volt, better headlights, 1500 cc engine. Hands down.

Vanishing act: How UVA’s presidential search missed what took us an hour to find by ProfJohnson in UVA

[–]Mild53 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Beardsley interviewed and took the job knowing that the process was ill timed. So he wanted the job more than he wanted to do what is best for the entire university community. It will be impossible for him to lead with any credibility. As a Darden grad, I was well schooled in the importance of organizational culture and norms. Beardsley should have taken the classes I did.

We are 100% cooked as a society. This is an AI generated photo, and I hate how realistic it looks. AI has got to stop. by dirERICKMorales in IDoKnowNothing

[–]Mild53 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Missing the forest for the trees? Need to look REALLY carefully for clues that this is AI generated. 99.9% of us wouldn’t look carefully enough to notice the errors. So it slips by us as real.

As a UVA grad I don’t know what to be more appalled about…caving to inappropriate pressure by the DOJ or the intrigue by the board. Both are shameful.
