My dad was a farmer. I AM AN ORPHAN.

Edit: Ok, I feel bad. But like… I know one dumbass with a cough that won’t go away (7 years and counting) because they wouldn’t effing listen to me about DE, another who rolled his tractor on to himself and died. Don’t take it lightly man. The bill always comes due. We all do what we have to, lord knows I’ve done some dumb shit, but it ain’t cute to dismiss it.

Yeah like… Netflix has peering agreements and whatnot but… It’s not 2005.

Yeet that into the rizzophere, no cap fr fr

Edit: ong

Little bastards are why I now know you need to hide your grass seed beneathe staw. Lazy little fucks.

I dated a vegetarian, and I love to cook. It was wild how little it took to break through the “meatless” thing. We didn’t last but I kept the skillset, and eat vegetarian at least a few nights of the week.

I love being able to taste things at every stage without worry about food safety. Like if I don’t think a sauce is quite right, I can always try a bit. Once you kind of break through, meat freaks you out a bit… and I still eat meat!

Edit: I’ll also add: giving up cheese and eggs would be hard as hell though… I get where that would be more exciting than meat.

Yeah agree. They’re kind of sold as a cure all, which they’re not, but if you have a very specific problem they’ll help. I think the thing is a lot of times people use them without addressing the root cause. But it’s definitely saved me a deep clean before.

I love letterkenny! I also just binged corner gas lol

I’m US but grew up near the boarder (and now don’t)… I miss my CTV and Mr.Bigs… also Canada figured out how to keep making solid ass rock music.

I did really like this, but it is a bit generic.

The audio book is fantastically done and it’s written well enough. Characters are fleshed out and interesting, the universe makes sense.

Again: I really enjoyed it I just don’t think it really put anything new on the table.

Edit: wanted expand on both the good and bad, no spoilers.

The plot is nifty enough but you could guess it from start to finish with like 2 cues (and you get those pretty early). There’s really nothing challenging there we haven’t seen before.

That being it said plays out well. The “big” plot elements you’ll see coming but the little things and character reactions are why I say it’s well written. I may have seen this movie a bunch but I liked watching these characters do it.

They don’t do that either. If they did that you couldn’t walk around with a pacemaker.

No, people swear by this, honestly. It’s not like asking someone for a “left handed smoke shifter” as an initiation right. People rural and metro genuinely think this is a real thing. At a few hundred a pop I would wager there’s ~$50k in these things that will be purches by various contractors out of the new infrastructure build in the US. It’s wild.

Lol, that’s actually what I’ve read. In cases was someone was enough an “old timer” it’s likley they’d been to the site before, or had worked enough or had enough intuition. In those cases the chi squared was decent with the rods compared without.

… In a new site built specifically for testing, not so much.

So that’s interesting from a psychology perspective, something giving someone “permission” to focus, but water divining it was not.

I have had just the MOST frustrating conversations with people I know to be incredibly intelligent lol.

Im normally very live and live. Like so long as your not convincing/have been convinced to go for reki as a substitute for cancer treatment… Whatever makes you happy. You feel happier holding a quartz rock? Then technically it is working, cool rocks make me happy to, you do you.

I have no idea why dowsing just gets under my skin lol.

If you ever happen to be around people who construction related to water lines, etc, and want to start a fight, bring this up.

I have seen people with masters degrees in civil engineering defend this. It’s just this weird holdout of insanity for some reason.

Wanted to add to this: if it can’t go away, it’s likley you can set up quite a long repayment at 0% interest. It will still hurt but at you can spread it out

All I know is I appreciate their slow roll. Everytime they break something I replace it with the non-Google option. I’ve got a small nuc as my main HTPC tied into my plex. Been waiting for an excuse to swap my first Gen Google hockey Puck from like 2012 in my bedroom.

OK, I’m going to save you time because I do some controls and totally get how “easy” demand management should be given how simple most devices are.

But WHAT?! Thats all built into the grid over there??? That’s AWESOME. Let me see if I have this right: there’s essentially a small transient frequency modulation in the 60hz(?) in the grid that allows devices to receive a “off” signal?

I could be wrong but I’m 90% sure we’ve got nothing like that in the states. MAYBE there’s something like that for communicating with the meter itself but certainly not past the meter.

… Consumer water heaters in Germany are built in as demand shaving??? That is so damn cool.

Absolutely. But that also skirts the fact that the economy, globally, depends on rent in Manhattan being high. Like as shitty as the rent is, the bigger problem is how much of that “you’re paying someone else mortgage” thing is true and wayyyyy over optimized.

Roll into that the fact that the whole rising/uninsurable thing in Florida is come for literally everywhere near sea level… Which is every major metro in the usa… It’s a problem.

Lmfao. Points for clarity I guess? Thanks for the laugh.
