I thought I clicked on “Man discovers his parents’ coffee machine used 1TB of data in 10 days” but I was pleasantly surprised by the read.

I knew quite a few people in high school and college that wouldn’t have been able to afford it without crippling debt but we were able to get our tuition paid for by the State if you had a B average.

If it’s better for you and your neighbor to switch houses and rent from each other the system is broken.

Shimano reels are the best I dumped Penn and switched everything over. I’d like to add a Talica to the collection.

I love their group sets and a 1x11 blew my mind during covid. I was always used to 3x setups and I don’t think 1x’s were around when I was a kid.

My iPhone 4 was like the Nokia of iPhones. Mine lasted forever and I think it was my longest lasting one. I had it for 5 years, I knew people who had it until 3G was being phased out and they had to switch.

I always use a case on every phone and never had a single issue with the 4.

They were doing phone switching in the 70s. The Nokia DX 200 had a couple of firsts on the wiki.

Wait until future kids see what X (Twitter) does to society today.

Cable curious.

My categories are identical to yours. Home Depot had a sale on these stackable dewalt boxes that are much more cost effective for semi-junk stuff than Milwaukee pack outs.

My dad worked at Lockheed and in the 80s they joked they used JIC (just in case) manufacturing. They had so many parts without a clear reason as to why they created so many.

They had honey and could sweeten things that way but it’s not like table sugar from beets or sugar cane.

All the kids in my neighborhood do this weekly in the US.

A former professor went through startups to acquisition with 7 or so startups during this era. He said one VC kept funding them. The VC visited their new office and said this is why we love you guys everyone else we are funding drive brand new Mercedes.

Toyota made un-Toyota like mistakes on the new v6 twin turbo. They are not immune anymore.

It’s because miles driven decreases with age not because old people drive safer.

My car people are the absolute opposite of you. Almost all of us want noise but it doesn’t have to be obnoxious. Most high end car with high end engines have switches that will control the exhaust valve.

The US has been investing heavily in Mexico. They are our top trading partner.

Did you misspell hill? It’s not like some sand mountain jets up 300 feet all of the sudden.

The places I worked over 15 years ago had extensive lists of allergens. They were mostly chain or corporate, I think the mom and pop places did a little guessing. I wouldn’t trust them.

Chinese!

We are on the same side. I’ve been trying to show the difference between natural water processes and some else like birds or humans spreading fish.

Lakes have connected rivers and streams that provide paths for fish and eggs to move around. There are human and animal activities that affect this. Your bird example and beavers causing floods could allow movement.

There’s a stream in my back yard that doesn’t hold fish over the winter because it’s too shallow/cold. A large property near me has a pond that overflows into my stream. The fish survive in the deeper waters of the pond and spring rain usually washes fish eggs or even fish into my stream. They gather in the rocks in my backyard near the storm drain.

Alpine lakes are fed by snow met. There’s not going to be fish eggs on the snowpack that melts into the lake.

Mountain lakes are completely different.

There’s fish eggs being washed everywhere during rain storms. The eggs come from upstream and wash into random places.

My MBP had the same issue and was eligible for a replacement but since the computer couldn’t boot due to a GPU issue they couldn’t run the GPU test to verify it was a GPU issue. Even though you could clearly read the logs and tell it was the GPU.

I guess you don’t get a Boxing Day one?

Nobody forces you to click the so called ad. Does your BMW force you to watch them?

They do it for every holiday. My kids enjoy watching the holiday ones and I’m sure they’ll like Spider-Man one too. The July 4th and Christmas ones were cool. There’s a marketing aspect to it, IIRC they usually show a recently released car.

Does anyone outside the US get something local like our Independence Day July 4th?

Don’t forget Big Data!

A company I worked at knowingly bought very sub-par oracle products just to get discounts on the Oracle ERP and DB stuff.

My boss has already done this several times over the past couple years because of some impeding market crash. Then he goes back and buys a week or so later.

Most people didn’t go to college to eat canned beans. We went to college so we could stop eating canned beans.
