Northwest Georgia Hawks Blackout Dead Zone: How are other regional fans handling this?

For those of us living in the northwest counties of Georgia (like Walker County), the broadcasting landscape for the Atlanta Hawks now seems entirely broken**:**

  • Zero Over-the-Air Access: While fans closer to the city celebrate games moving to free broadcast TV (WANF and Peachtree Sports Network), those signals do not reach up into our geography.
  • The League Pass Trap: Because of our Georgia zip codes, we are hard-locked into the official NBA League Pass blackout zone, treating us as "in-market" even though we get zero local broadcasts.
  • The Market Mismatch: We are mapped administratively to the Chattanooga, TN television market, meaning local live-TV streaming services like YouTube TV deliver Chattanooga local programming rather than the Atlanta stations that actually carry the Hawks broadcasts.
  • The Loss of Fanduel Streaming: The disappearance of Fanduel streaming access completely stripped away our only viable, legal avenue to follow the team.

Are other fans in similar border-county or out-of-market footprints finding any workarounds for this, or are we genuinely left with zero legal ways to watch? How is everyone else in North Georgia dealing with this geographic dead zone?

Is it significant that this Citizen has a gold colored caseback

I bought this citizen in an auction because I liked the faceted crystal. When I got it and turned it over the center is gold colored. I looked online and found similar watches but not with the gold colored back. Does anyone know if it is significant in some way?

replace conchos with cabs on belt

I'd like to start working towards putting some cabs on a belt. So I'm thinking of starting with something like the picture above, removing the conchos, and replacing them with cabs. It seems like the best look would be very uniform, so perhaps buying premade bezel cups would be the best? I'm just working through the idea, so I'd appreciate any advice or direction / redirection if anyone has tried anything like this. Thanks!

Can I use this 60 amp fuse pullout for an ev charger?

I have an outbuilding with a separate service (the meter is on the other side of this wall). Originally I think they had a lot of equipment in here, but now the only thing this panel is connected to is a subpanel directly to the left that has 4 20 amp circuits running a total of 10 plugs and 4 lights.
Can I use the pullout “range” fuse on the right to connect a 32A ev charger? Right now there are 60 amp fuses in it. My thought is to put 40s in there of the ev charger wire is #8
(I posted this originally with only one photo, but I deleted that and now I’m reposting with additional photos so you can see the neutral bar on the bottom and the wiring diagram on the door cover. )

I'm looking at a 2023 with over 100K miles. The range didn't look great when I test drove it, so the owner took it to the chevy dealer to get more info on the battery. Here's what they sent me. Am I right in calculating that the capacity is just over 83%?
