Yeah, this year has been on an absolute rip, I’m expecting a drop in the next year, regardless of who wins. Actually pulled 10% of my retirement out of the market and into cash yesterday so I can buy any future dips.

I’m getting that same way.

Currently trying to chase down some automatic sun shades that don’t need an app to do time-based cycles. Shouldn’t be this hard, but every band wants you to use absolute garbage apps.

I’ve been using New Pipe, but they seem to have broken every 3rd party front-end within the last week or so.

There really isn’t a way to realistically shield against relay attacks. Most people say “just go back go physical keys”, but those are even less secure.

Phone-as-key and keycard systems are vulnerable in the same way.

Ironically, I think Hyundai is the only company currently doing biometrics. They have a face unlock and fingerprint start on the GV60 in some markets iirc.

That applies to every manufacturer, and no, there isn’t really a fix.

It’s also not really happening in any meaningful numbers, at least yet…

This was our favorite thing to do in my HS Japanese class. I still remember “skydiving”: skah-daaaah-ben-goo.

Oh, yeah, my local wore off halfway through. When they applied more, it felt like they lit my nuts on fire.

My recovery was honestly pretty bad. I was bed-ridden for about 2 weeks, then 8-ish months of aching pain all day every day. Not actually sure when it finally cleared up, I just realized I hadn’t felt the pain in a while. My first nut was about a month after the procedure, and that was also a very unpleasant experience.

My case is abnormal, but even more rare is the guys that continue to be in pain for the rest of their lives. Didn’t find out about that until I started digging deeper because of my persistent pain.

That said, I still 100% recommend getting it done.

Gotta get creative to get any decent addresses these days. I’ve been trying to establish a company name (with an available, short-ish, simple URL) and it’s surprisingly difficult, even getting into weird TLDs. Really annoying, especially since a lot of them aren’t actually being used.

Finally found a 9 character made-up word that I could get the .us TLD for, and I think that’s about as good as it’s going to get.

I literally said in my comment that Soylent is a splurge that could be replaced with oatmeal. I don’t get it to be cheap, I get it because I like it and it’s pretty good nutritionally. Make that change and you’re under $30, like I usually am outside of that.

Here was this week’s cost, including splurging on a 1lb bag of nuts for snacking: https://i.postimg.cc/GmSJWVxp/Screenshot-20240509-111904.png

More importantly I was replying to your “only ramen or rice and beans” comment, because I don’t eat either of those. I could reduce my costs further if I did, but I like what I eat and don’t need to save money on my food budget.

I spend about that if you exclude my splurge on Soylent for breakfast (substitute oatmeal, for example). I eat wraps that are 90% veggies for lunch and the premix Birdseye veggie/chicken dinners where I can get 2 meals per bag.

I mean, depends on the frozen pizza. 99% of them are worse, but there’s one brand I get at wally world for like $7 a pizza that is better than 99% of the pizza I can order (and we have some pretty solid pizza joints around here).

Had to quit getting them though because they’re like 6000 kcal.

Pretty sure you could still get away with this - if the drop is less than 30" no railing is required.

Fractional scaling in Windows is still eh, largely because they can’t do a whole lot about icons not designed for that scale. For example in Rhino a bunch of the icons get weird pixel doubling when running 150% because they were designed for 100% and use a lot of 1 pixel wide elements.

It’s honestly the main reason I keep hanging on to my now 10 and 15 year old displays. I’m hoping for a 6k 32" display so I can run true 200%. Dell makes one but they put a stupid webcam forehead on it.

I just moved ~30 minutes away and saved $100/mo as well. Insane difference.

You also need to be careful when deleting your account - when you do, they’ll send you a “there was an issue with your request” email that tries to get you to register again by prompting you to “log in” to fix it. The log in is creating a password for a new account.

I mean you could kinda do that yourself with UV ink and an appropriate flashlight. Put some in the bowl and some in the tank, maybe even different colors to see which portion contributes more.

I hate soft close lids because they close too slow. The flush is over before it’s half down, which defeats the whole point of a lid. Sure, I could wait an extra 30 seconds, but at that point why not just do the soft close with my own hand?

This post was jest in time.
