Apparently a traffic cone is the way to go. The car will just sit there until someone removes the cone.

There was a guy I used to see in traffic who used to play trumpet as he drove. It's been more than 20 years since I saw him and I still think about it from time to time.

Imagine having a political opponent you consider equal to Hitler and choosing Joe Biden as the candidate you run against him.

I just checked and every single textbook I own that contains a reference to this transformation uses an image of a sheep. Sadly all of my textbooks are in English. If I had any relevant texts in German or Spanish I doubt that they would makes this connection.

On an less relevant note one of the books introduces the idea of change of basis with a joke about labeling axes and has several different types of ax with corresponding labels attached and I find that to be a much worse joke.

Even if your registrar goes out of business ICANN will help you restore the domain with a new registrar.

Source it happened to one of my customers.

Adam Schiff is so fucking slimey. I do not want that man to represent me. He spent millions to boost a republican so that he would not have to run against Katie Porter. It reminds me of Hillary's superdelegates. The party is broken, the mega rich are pretending to let us have a say and then pretending to fight against the Republicans instead of solving problems.

The 1990's DRM game. A point and click mystery game where you have to find the DRM codes printed on the back of the disk, hidden in the CD-ROM jewel case, or the specific word on the printed in the manual to unlock mini games. You might even consider scanned JPEGs of each page of the manual in the file system of the copied CD-ROM that your friend made you.

That's pretty much it.

My mother in laws friend was a roided out prison guard who had zero empathy. He was very kind to people but just could not understand when anyone had a hard time with anything. I fixed his computer and he refused to pay me because it looked easy so he figured I wasn't really working.

When his wife asked for a divorce he strangled her so hard it broke her neck. He then held her under water in the bath tub for almost an hour just to be sure. Then he tried to end himself by jumping off the second story of their house but survived with a back injury.

MIL actually showed up to court as a character witness. He spends most if his time these days in "protective custody" because a lot of the other inmates know him from when he was a guard. We still get letters from him and he is still a dickhead.

I don't understand why Pixel phones are not more popular. I prefer the stock android experience over Samsung's OneUI and they are usually less expensive.

Show up. Ask them to come when you do things. No matter what they are asking you to do you show up. Make room for them in your life too, every time you have room in your car let them know it would be great if they filled that seat. After enough time spent together you will have a much better grasp of what invitations mean something to them. You will also figure out when you actually want to be alone and when you would like to have company.

Starting monday my car does not start charging at 11:00 PM as scheduled. I have had to wait until after 11:00, unplug the car, wait several minutes, and then plug it back in for charging to begin. I do not receive any errors in the app when scheduled charging fails. When I try to start charging via the app after 11:00 PM the app fails to initiate charging with the message that the car is not plugged in.

I have a Grizzl-e Avalance 40A charger with the ChargeLab app. The app says it sees a car connected and is available to charge at 11:00 PM - 7:00 AM when my rates are low. So far I have changed the Scheduled charge times to 10 minutes after the charger becomes available and I have disabled scheduled charging so the car should be trying to charge as soon as the plug becomes available. I have recently begun timing how long I have left the connecter out before plugging it back in. so far 30 seconds is too short a time, the car will claim it is not plugged in. 5 Minutes will work, tomorrow I will try 4 minutes and see if that is long enough.
