Wow that was weird;

Got some plastic ethernet heads today and when I pushed the wires through them they came out the other end.

I guess I gotta get some toenail clippers or something...never had this happen in 20 years of making ethernet cables.

Seems like it might have been an innovation...cause now the blue sheth always fit inside, but if I want to plug it in, I'll need to clip the wires off.

Love to all in Port Hedland area & beyond. All our fingers & toes are crossed 4 you.

this presentation by Pat Klan from Channel 11 KHOU in Houston, Texas is absolutely extraordinary. he explains clearly and succinctly why #hurricaneMilton went from #CAT1 to #CAT5 in 24 hrs. he also explains really well why the wall of water coming to #Florida will be devastating, no matter where it hits.

TlL;DR evacuate if you've been told to do so. get to high land.

LOOK CLOSELY AT THIS EVACUATION ROUTES MAP FOR #FLORIDA

my dad, who was an urban planner, would often rant about how Republicans were denying federal money to Puerto Rico to build up the swamps of Florida.

that whole Orlando area, what he called MickeyMouselandia, should have never happened. it's a swiss cheese of marshes, wetlands, swamps. Y'all had a #Cat3 with #Helene and now #Milton is #Cat5

#Florida is producing millions of #climateCrisis refugees
