This stinks of their enterprise practices. They are masters of creating extremely confusing plans for pricing that involve bundling, discounts for various combinations, etc. In the end, you get a fat ass bill at the end of every month. When you ask them to explain it, they will say that this component was generated by one team, another by a different…

You will never get a straight answer and if you do, it will take weeks. By then you have another bill and you get to start all over.

I am so over Microsoft and their bullshit. I don’t use any of their shit at home and I actively remove anything I can of theirs at work. Punting Defender out of our environment was my best day ever.

I am 99% certain that our house is the only one in the neighborhood that doesn’t use chemlawn. Springtime is dandelion season and its great. Now the clover is in full effect. I love that the bees and bunnies are going to chow town. Gonna hit the back yard next spring with the microclover. I’d love to get the point of a monthly mow. I hate grass and mowers. If I could let it go full meadow I totally would. Mainly because I know it pisses off all the old buzzards who have nothing to do beyond sweep their driveway 3 times a day.

Hello, this François on fantsy pants lane. Yes the one that doesn’t have a road, that’s it.

Anyway, I need 400 sq feet of ceramic tile delivered as I’m having some work done to my flat. I also need about 20 gallons of mastic and five bags of sanded grout. No, you can’t drive a delivery van here, there is a shared lot two blocks away you can park at and then then the delivery people will have to bring everything from there. You won’t do it? Yes I know tile is heavy. 2400 lbs? Well, dont you have a smaller delivery bike or something? Well, can’t you get one? I don’t understand why you’re being so uncooperative!

Balance requires the desire to achieve it. Keep trying, you’ll get there.

I’m old and I think they’re fucking hilarious. I think what you’re missing is the “be a moron” part.

The hell with raw doggin life.

I think of it like sunlight. In videos from space, you can see the sun without the filter of our atmosphere. It is the harshest evil white burning light you can imagine. However, because of our delightful atmosphere, we get golden hour evenings, pink sunsets, warm mornings.

Life without pills is like sunlight without atmosphere.

That, also cat and dog. I am the feeder, brusher, vet-taker. Mr. Meowmeow and Ms. Fluffy would be very sad. That won’t do at all.

Also, this was the original which was sold by the now-dead Scion brand. This could be as old as a 2012 model. I suppose at that age, throwing money at it could be well described as a financial mistake.

OK then I will bite.

How do workers and tradespeople get to these places? When their refrigerator breaks and they need a repair or a new one, are those delivered on a bike?

When someone buys a mattress, do they just helicopter them in?

When people move into these apartments how does the furniture get moved in? Movers just carry it a full city block?

How do plumbers and electricians bring their equipment in? How do tilers, roofers, people who replace windows get to these places?

How do emergency services get in here? Fire trucks just dont anymore?

I dislike traffic, congestion and poor air quality, but the idea that we don’t need roads is just silly. Manage them, dont delete them. This is the folly of the bourgeois.

I would not qualify it as easy. It is doable, but it takes a bit of time, effort and equipment. Did it twice, first time failed, second round I finally figured out my problems. Took a few months before I had anything worth keeping.

You could also just go to Denver and buy some there. I had a lovely day with a friend after eating some local chocolate and hanging out in cheeseman park. 10/10 would do again.

Good to see @[email protected] is here to offer sage advice.

The day he left. Watched him pack up his shit and stood at the end of the driveway in tears watching him drive away. He moved out of state, rarely called, almost never visited. I was seven years old.

As a father, I could not dream of doing that. The only thing that piece of shit was good for was an example of what not to do. I love my kids so much, I cannot understand how much of a heartless fuck you’d have to be to just piss off like that. If you’ve ever done this to your kids, you are a good for nothing piece of shit.

Hope the flames are keeping you toasty you rotten bastard, I’ll be up here enjoying my own kids quite a lot!

Gonna make myself unpopular here. No to Bosch. Overpriced and overhyped. You pay a premium and get little in return. I installed my own and rather than just connecting the power to a standard electrical connection, you have to (or you have to pay someone) to wire in a proprietary electrical connection box. The dishwasher has a special cable that connects to their weird receptacle. No idea why, helps nothing, adds labor without benefit. Bosch dishwashers do not use heating coils to dry the dishes. They use the residual heat of the water to dry. My experience is that this is not very effective as well as slow. Some have a means to ventilate themselves (fans, mechanism to open door, etc). This helps, but adds complexity, failure points and is still slow. I gave up after my last (third one) Bosch would not clean nor dry properly after it was about four years old. Took it apart, cleaned crud out of pump and bottom end. Came to conclusion that the pump was no longer able to move water at a sufficient pressure to spray the dishes. Was more of a weak sprinkler effect. No idea why it would not dry. It never dried well from the beginning.
I have since switched to a whirlpool (kitchen aid) with a heating coil. One year in being run 2x a day and no issues so far. Dishes are clean and dry. Bought a simpler model without nonsense like wifi, apps, lights, floor projection or anything else. I run one setting: auto.

Well, the title of this article is misleading. You are correct in your assumption that is is exercise, not specifically running. They used mice on running wheels as part of the research.

Still, love to be mad about running and another vote for the rower. Cheap water rower knock off ftw.

A robot told me: The Meta/Yandex exploit worked by having JavaScript running on a website (such as Meta Pixel) connect from the browser to a native app on the same device via the localhost (127.0.0.1) interface, using HTTP, WebSocket, or WebRTC. This communication occurs entirely within the device and does not traverse the network in a way that browser extensions like uBlock Origin can intercept or block. Browser extensions generally cannot block or even see requests made to localhost sockets, especially when those requests are initiated by scripts running in the browser and targeting native apps on the same device

Showed this to my wife. She also did not understand.

Of all the fucking things. I hate running so much. Ran for years, hated it the whole time. Finally just couldn’t do it anymore. Was so sock of sore knees and shins, never mind being out in the damn cold before work on a gross winter day, dark, gray, wet. I hated getting up extra early before work and then having to jam in a shower and THEN start the day. I am so envious of people who find it enjoyable. They’re so happy on their run, feeling good, satisfied with what they did. Hell, they go and do crazy things like marathons, 5ks etc. Such a foreign concept.

I dont feel better having stopped, but the thought of doing it again just fills me with dread.

Why can’t they discover that reading a book while listening to music is fantastic for you?

Last thing I played was Inside. Being an adult with a family and demanding work leaves little free time. Some house project always seems to pop up. I feel guilty taking a lot of time to fuck off. Reading a book feels like a better way to spend free time, also more enriching. When I play a game, it is an indulgence like eating candy. I’m at the age where I want more than just consuming media. I’d rather learn something or make something. Also, I’m way out of touch with gaming culture and unlikely to catch up.

Press and hold two buttons in each corner. If those don’t work, try the other two. Keep iterating through pressing and holding one button on either side of the screen. Eventually, you will open a diagnostic menu. You can’t do anything here without a passcode, but it will stop the ad.

I’ve only come across a few pumps where I could not figure out the combo before I finished pumping.
