I find it strange that my wife collects my children's discarded bones.

That we still hate the egomaniacal fucktoy

I'm not asking you to pity these people. I'm asking you to recognize that we've set up a system where some portion of the population absolutely is destined to fail and there's nothing they can realistically do about it.

For some portion of the population, "man up and tough it out" is not a reasonable answer.

And I'm not sure why you're thinking this is about me. I've got friends and family and money and health. I also have a realistic view of reality and numbers. And the reality is, for a lot of people, these numbers don't line up.

Your mock it, but that redaction saved thousands of lives. Most of us can't handle that sort of beauty.

That's the look. The point isn't to get subtle beauty enhancement. The point is to look like you've had plastic surgery.

It's tacky to me, but I'm not going to fault their culture. As long as it's being done with full knowledge and consent, and not under outside pressure.

50% on rent. 40% on food and utilities. 15% on a cell phone. You're already going into debt.

So no phone then. All you do is work, eat meagerly, and sleep. Your clothes are aging but you can't replace them. You have no friends, but that's ok you can't afford to do things with them anyway. You pray inflation stays at zero and you never get sick.

At this point, you choose debt or suicide because this isn't a life.

I'm waiting for the ICE imposters who start looting two blocks away from actual ICE activity and just drive off

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've got about 1/4 acre with some odd shapes and walkways. I'm looking to invest in a robotic mower, but the boundary wire ones don't seem to work with my layout. It doesn't need to have clean mow lines or anything, I just want my grass to be shorter.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a non-wired robot mower? Preferably one that integrates with HA, but that's not required.

If you do, what are the pros/cons of the unit?

 

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.

 

Has anyone created their own instance and modified it? How about the same for the Android client? There are some features I'm desperately missing and I'm not against DIY.
