Why do stores put handicap parking up front near the door? Those people are so slow anyway, what does a couple more minutes matter?

To annoy capables. Pretty aggravating when they can't get a spot near the store entrance, due handicappers reserving the primo spots. Lots of resentment building up.

It bothers me when game developers set up scoring systems where all the points share a least common denominator and that denominator isn't one. Doing this gets you five points, doing that gets you ten points, etc. Just use one and two points, etc.

At the mall, grocery store, or wally world, close spaces make sense.
I'm thoroughly confused by a hanidcapped space(s) at 7/11s . There are only six spaces, all RIGHT THERE

Home Depot always baffles me, they have like 16 spots. Basically all the sections close to the front are handicap spots. What are the odds that 16 people in wheel chairs show up at the same time wanting to buy hardware for a home renovation project? I could see having 4 spots maybe.

Guessing it's some kind of silly legislation thing, for every normal parking spot they probably need X amount of handicap spots, does not matter what the business is.

Today is one of the few days off where it's not raining. I should probably install my solar panels. I want to re-attempt putting them on the roof again. There's got to be a way I can separate the shingles without damaging them. I might try a heat gun. I was looking at the wall again and it gets too much shade.

Was looking at the bolts I bought for putting them on the wall and they are so tiny as well. I messed up that order. I really ordered the wrong thing I need like 3x as big. These would not hold when we get wind gusts. There's only like 1/2 of it that would go into the 2x4 stud.

Well that worked out decently, was indeed able to separate shingles so the solar panels are going on the roof! Turns out it's much easier to do in the cold. I figured it was the opposite. Got 4 of the PV QuickMounts installed. The other 4 should go faster, I was just taking my time given I was being really diligent. I'm really hoping it does not rain tomorrow, then I can do the bottom 4. They are calling for rain/snow, but I'm hoping it stays cold enough that it just stays as snow, or just passes us completely. It's the only day I have off for a while.
