My wife just got a newer car last week so I’m asking you because you know more than I.
We never connected a phone to it but the GPS worked right off the bat. Do cars have standalone GPS now? As long as we don’t connect a phone, it can’t reach the internet, right?
I feel like an attendant should have swapped seats with her. Because a) it’s the right thing to do and b) to cover the airline’s ass a bit.
The time and money involved are both staggering. This isn’t about you switching operating systems on your personal laptop.
Where are you going to get support staff anytime soon? All those Windows admins magically switching to Linux overnight?
Hell, Linux offers nothing remotely comparable to the power of Active Directory. That alone will keep Windows in the lead.
And more. This isn’t about lazy.
The thing I like about Madonna is that she determined it was her life’s goal to be rich and famous. So she went all out to achieve that goal.
Garth Brooks did the same. Perhaps apocryphal, but he walked around Oklahoma State University with a detailed plan written in a notebook. He made the plan and executed it, in order, no excuses, would not accept no for an answer.
5 calories is all but meaningless. There’s a small beetle on my window right now. Less than 5 calories.
In the calorie tracking world, there’s no difference in kcal and cal.
A quarter second is about what I do for my only use case, but I’m only covering a couple of square inches.
This whole thread got me thinking. A quarter second, or less, sounds about how I use it, a bare touch.
Why do people steam things?
Which is funny because I just posted about using spray oil on my egg poacher. :)
One example would be my 1960s egg poacher, about all I use spray for. I could use butter, and have!, but the spray ensures it hits the entire surface and the egg no stick. Yes, I could wipe it with a buttered paper towel, but that’s messy.
Having said that, I refuse to pay the ridiculous price for spray oil. Only reason I use it is that my wife stocks it for whatever reason.
I was at a swanky casino restaurant the other night. The burgers were around $22. So yeah, $65 is unthinkable.
A single caller turned me away from Rush and got me started thinking about the content I was consuming.
Dude calls in to say he looked into getting a wind turbine and the math didn’t work out. When he brought up the cost to hook it to the grid, Limbaugh was laughing his ass off.
“Wait! Wait! It requires POWER to run! HAR HAR HAR!”
The man tried to explain that the connection would pay him when he generated more than he used. Limbaugh was an intelligent man, he knew where the conversation was going and kept cutting off the man’s explanation.
Despite the caller’s math as to why wind wouldn’t work for him, Limbaugh wouldn’t allow the man to make one positive point. That turned me off so hard I started seeking other viewpoints. 15-years later and I’m into Fully Automated Luxury Communism.
Enjoy my screenshot from the day that vile man died:
This is the internet equivalent of showing someone a haunted VHS tape.
SEVEN DAYS!
You can use MXToolbox to check for blacklists on your IP. If you find any, you can submit to each party to get removed. I’ve done this for a previous company and it was super easy.
Rachael: “Do you like our owl?”
Deckard: “It’s artificial?”
Rachael: “Of course it is.”
Deckard: “Must be expensive.”
Rachael: “Very.”
Then RAM isn’t your issue. 8GB is just fine if there’s not a bunch of bloat.
Same. I’d use the rest to get solar and dig a well if there was some left.
Gun buybacks are worse than useless as they’re a total waste. You might not know what you’re looking at then you see pics of the guns they are oh-so-proud to have rounded up. What they actually get is a pile of rusty, broken garbage.
Other than being a waste of taxpayer money, a lot of antiques and vintage guns find their way into the mix. Damned shame.
If we had one around here, I’d toss 3 or 5 busted guns on the pile, take the money and have a laugh.
I’d love some before and after notes! I’m hardly ever on here so I may miss it. But I’ll catch it eventually!
Hold up. You don’t want hard soap? I think that’s what most of the “making soap” advice in this thread is about.
That could easily be the French Quarter, Meringy or The Garden District in New Orleans.
