Voltpost and EVSE bet on next-gen lamppost charging for US cities | Electrek


Interesting stuff, I'll assume this'll be Level 2 charging, which is great for a top off or in the right places, a full if somewhat slow charge

Eating breakfast, hashbrown, oatmeal and a breakfast sandwich as I can't be bothered to cook anything more complicated, reach for my coffee... Where is it? Oh yeah, forgot to make it, we really need the coffee this morn.

Not much on the docket #today , work of course, weather is supposed to rain, bleah, and I think I might have my hated sub-zone today based on money and package count that's waiting for me, yay.

Prolly go in early after eating and taking care of a few minor things. Will have to buy lunch as I forgot to thaw out a sandwich last night, oops. Do you get the impression that I was knackered last night and still haven't recovered? Yeah, me too.

You know, going on 30 years of delivery work, while i haven't seen everything, surprises are few and far between, but seeing an apartment complex screw up their numbering is a new one. Previous building was 1008, 1010, 1012, 1014, just like all the other buildings. This one? 1016, 1016A, 1018, 1020... Ummm, did someone miscount or something?

EDIT
Added categories, realized I took a crappy picture, guess what I get for moving so fast, 93 stops, 95 packages, 6hrs 20min.

@Andrew Pam I was thinking the same thing, but the design doesn't look like that would be possible, plus if'n that happened, you'd expect there to be more like it. I'm thinking because of how they numbered it, evens on one side of the street, odds on the other, someone made a mistake, because they don't usually number like that.

This is the document, Trump does not want you to see.

In 1916, under President Woodrow Wilson, the United States signed the purchase of the Virgin Islands from Denmark, in a convention in which the United States recognised Denmark's right to the whole of Greenland.

Danish MP's of The Defence Committee will convene in the Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility at 18:00 to discuss the defence of Greenland.

Shocked to see I haven't reviewed this one yet


Maybe I commented about it somewhere, but its not in a post, so lets talk about The Education of Sunset Shimmer.

If you'd asked me back in October about this one, I would've said one of the best written Sunset Shimmer meets Twilight stories, but still just another one of those stories, but its really hit its stride. Not only is Sunset much better written than canon, not just the arrogant student of Princess Celestia who dove through a mirror into another dimension when she didn't get what she wanted, this one is a teenager with what that brings, angry about the Princess not being her real mom, and as we see about when this really starts getting good, an inferiority complex. Yes, this Sunset is a real person, one that runs into Twilight, and realizes that the system is failing her. When she asks a Professor for help getting Twilight into Celestia's school, its pass admission day, and Twilight is too young, the Professor puts a price on his sponsoring her, Sunset will have to be her official mentor. She's been teaching Twilight and Moondancer, but make that official? She does decide to do it, but struggles with the choice. Things really got good in the last chapter, canon Twilight hatches a dragon egg, something the fandom has generally assumed was an impossible task to see how the student handles failure, here that's unquestionably the case as Twilight examines the egg and realizes its a rock. When she points this out, she's told she wasn't brought here to identify it, but to hatch it, that's the test. Could you be more blatant? And umm,

Click to open/closeshe hatches it and gets her cutie mark, one slightly different from the show
.

Yeah, this one is looking real interesting, assuming the author keeps this quality up, I have to wonder where they're going, will this just go on for the entire show, stop at some point only for there to be another story, or...? Seriously, if you like Sunset or young Twilight, you really need to read this one.

While I'm here, let me point out another good one, Twilight's Me Time. Originally a one off, the fans demanded it continue, so it has. Nothing real deep here, SciTwi (EQG) decides since she's board, she'll spend summer break with Princess Twilight in Equestria. Two nerds that have a habit of experimenting first and thinking second, what could possibly go wrong? Yeah, this is just a silly thing, easy reading, but definitely a fun read.

And thanks for letting me know Twilight's Me Time was continued - I read the first chapter but hadn't noticed the continuation, so now it's on my tracking list.
in reply to Andrew Pam

@Andrew Pam Yeah, I stumbled on it on the front page a week or two after the second chapter was posted, and clicked because it made no sense that it was being featured again, and imagine my surprise to see it continuing.

There are a lot of Sunset AU stories, but this one is definitely going somewhere interesting.
