Friends are just foes you fight beside.

IBM does this every few years. They fire a bunch of expensive senior people and replace them with cheaper junior people. This probably won't increase their staff numbers.

Too bad she's a woman. That won't respect her enough to follow her. She's should get her husband to say exactly what she said. Then they'll listen.

The only thing keeping me from using this is the "remind me" action that adds a task and reminder to my task list. Any idea if that's configurable somehow?

GUYS I FOUND HIM!

Hey man. Don't you think it's about time to give more blood?

The reason you don't hear more people explaining the difference between being a pedophile and being an ephibophile is that it makes you look like a pedophile.

Case in point.

Right now. Just grab some of your friends and sign onto contracts to buy and share things together.

Food coops are the most common. I imagine tools would also be pretty easy to jointly own.

Yeah, because it's nuanced and people suck at nuance.

And his take is reasonable, I think. Use it for unimportant shit that would otherwise waste your time.

"we" care just fine. I don't spray pesticide. I work with my land to keep critters out of my house. Human compassion is not in short supply.

And I'll kill every one of those fuckers if it would save human lives.

It's back. It was gone for just a few hours it seems

I'd pay 5% more for a car to cover the difference in wages. But that's not driving the price.

One life does have more value than another. I'll kill a hundred cows to save a human.

But only if I have to. I won't kill a hundred cows to save the minor inconvenience of finding something different to eat.

 

Shtrawberry. Drinking shtraw as well.

Any time I try and pronounce it with a hard S and not SH, it ends up sounding like a bad 90s parody of a gay man. I practically flounce.

I can't be the only one..

 

I feel like I'm missing something with this card. I currently use a 2% cash back card, so 3% seems like a simple upgrade. I pay my card off every month without fail, and have for years. This card would use my house as collateral, which poses additional risk if I default.

Has anyone else looked into this or gotten one? Is there some catch I'm missing? I can't figure out how they're making money on this.

 

I have a Precision 3260 Compact (https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/workstations-isv-certified/precision-3260-compact-workstation/spd/precision-3260-workstation/s106dpt3260us_vp) with no standalone GPU. I also have an aging gaming desktop with a GTX 1070 and an i5 inside. I am trying to figure out a way to get the 1070 to work inside the Precision and it's driving me nuts.

The Precision doesn't have a standard micro-ATX motherboard, so I can't simply mount it in my larger case. Even if I could, the pcie slot is much shorter than the standard. On top of that, the GPU is longer than the entire case.

I'm willing to get creative, but I'm out of ideas.

 

Our town's water keeps failing to meet DEP standards, so I'm investing in a filtration system for our drinking water. What I think I'm looking for is:

  • Has a tank, since there are 5 of us
  • Filters out lead, PFAS, PFOA, etc. (Which is why I'm leaning towards RO)
  • Good warranty and customer service, for when something inevitably goes wrong
  • Remineralization (picky about water taste)
  • UV (maybe?)

Does anyone have recommendations for a quality brand, or one that they've had for years that they like? I'm not sure where to even start.

I bought a house a few months ago and I'm still trying to figure out all the wiring. I found these coming out of a cabinet in the kitchen.

I think (?) the black one is a cut-off coax cable. There's a LOT of coax in this house, so that seems straightforward (but I would still love if someone can confirm!)

I'm not sure about the other ones. They don't look electric, as I'd expect electric to be black + white + copper, like the rest of the house.

There is supposedly a speaker system in the house (I see speakers) but I haven't figured it out yet. Could that be power for the speakers? I'm not familiar with speaker wire setup. If it's speakers, why would there be so many wires?

 

I'm looking for an inexpensive label maker that can print small labels. I need to label various things around my house for my sanity (outlet/breaker mapping, coax endpoint mapping, etc).

I was going to buy a NIIMBOT D110, but then I saw in their FAQ that they put an IC (chip) into their labels and the printer won't print if it can't sense it. I really don't want to support a company that DRMs their consumables, if I can help it.

Can anyone recommend a good, small, inexpensive label maker? Preferably one that doesn't have sketchy DRM embedded.

 

I was reading about how the EU is thinking of reducing the lead used in ammunition because it's polluting the environment. I wonder if regular lead exposure at the firing range is addling people's brains.

 
 

Exercise is hitting. My brain gives up way before my body does. Even when I try and listen to music or watch shows while exercising, I just can't keep at it.

Has anyone found an ADHD friendly way to exercise?

 

A fine specimen indeed

 

I know it was a thing on reddit, but how does everyone feel about peeing on your compost? Apparently it really helps, but I've never brought myself to do it.
