  • 1996-the end dodge grand caravan / Chrysler Town and country minivans can fit 4x8 drywall up to a bit over a foot deep, more if you’re able to slide the front seats up. I finished out my basement hauling 2x4’s and drywall in my 2012 t&c. Damn side better gas mileage too





  • I replied elsewhere, but I’m gonna stick it here as well for visibility:

    NOAA Weather Radios go off like alarm clocks when warnings are issued. Loud as hell. We hear ours 1 floor away through closed doors with a fan and a white noise machine. This camp absolutely should have had not 1 but 2 of these in separate locations.

    I’m the emergency manager of a camp. We have redundant alert and notification systems, a full All Hazards emergency plan and drill routinely for sheltering and evacuation.

    No less should have been done for these kids. This is 100% on the hands of the leadership of the camp. Full stop.

    Wall-e was a single unit carrying on the task of thousands (tens, hundreds of thousands? We don’t know if others were still functioning or we’re global). He was doing the task he was built for. EVE’s task was completely different - visit the planet every so often and search for the sustainability of life. She did that as per her programming. Different tasks.









  • but neither Harris nor Clinton were strong presidential candidates, and not because of their gender.

    That’s a bunch of bs. It was sexism, pure and simple.

    Clinton was an accomplished lawyer and accomplished civil servant in her own right, having spent her entire life in service. As former first lady, she had exclusive access to the inner machinations of the presidency (I’m not saying that being the spouse of an elected leader alone qualifies one for that position (see Republicans’ voting for dead candidates and swapping the deceased’s spouse in after the election)), but rather adds to the cumulative total. She was also the head of the state department.

    And because of a successful attack at a foreign embassy in a hostile nation, that became a millstone around her neck that trumpers bashed her for, capping off an otherwise stellar career.

    Against that orange buffoon, on paper, she should have mopped the floor with his toupe’

    Harris was VP, senator, Attorney General. She didn’t have the cv of Clinton, but she was a woman, and she had a foreign sounding name. I worked as an election inspector (not the jackoff people who challenge voter’s ability to vote, but the people who conduct the election at the local jurisdiction level). The election room as a smallish town hall, and many couples came in to vote together. The amount of people who were speaking loud enough to be overheard saying things like: “never vote for a woman” or making referring to “white pride” was shockingly scarry. They wanted to be heard.

    Why, yes, I live in a racist, misogynistic hellhole - how’d you guess?
