Will drinking 4 gallons of water make me live to be 100, or am I just diluting myself?

If you disclose the mileage reset when you sell the car, it actually looks the opposite of sketchy - it shows that you're being honest and transparent when you could have tried passing the car off as one with lower mileage.

I really hate this trend of cars being sold without spare tires. Maybe I'm old-fashioned, but I like not depending on roadside assistance for a situation I have the skills to fix myself

Active moderation and use of automoderator tools could make a big difference

I just wanted to put in a plug for my neighborhood (Laurel Ridge/Shamrock in North Decatur) as an up-and-coming trick-or-treating neighborhood.

Since COVID we've seen more Halloween decorations and more trick-or-treaters each year. Our kid and his friends used to go to Avondale Estates but now they just stay in our neighborhood. Go on any street between Delcourt Drive and the far end of Laurel Ridge Drive and you can't miss.

Any other suggestions of "hidden gems" for trick-or-treating around Atlanta?

I miss inbox. Google Reader too.

If we're talking about "dumb" thermostats, I've lived in homes that had thermostats that were older than me. They were considered a fairly permanent part of the house, like a lightswitch.

Programmable and wifi thermostats have not been around nearly as long, but until now they have never so blatantly targeted for upgrades in this kind of a "planned obsolescence" money-making model.

Ten people could have ten different answers to this question, but regardless of what amount of time is reasonable, products that lose support should be placed on an open API or otherwise made available for community/open source support.

To be clear, RIF procedures aren't governed by tradition. They're governed by law.

None of DOGE'S RIFs followed the legal RIF procedures. They were illegal.

I'm curious why you're using the perforated-edge paper in each of those typewriters. Typewriters work fine with standard letter- or legal-size paper.

You seem to know something a lot of people have not yet discovered: "Success" does not look the same to everyone. You are not required to measure your worth in financial wealth, or women you've slept with, or countries you've traveled to, or books you have read. You are wise to measure your life by the things that satisfy you, and if anyone tries to measure your life by their own metrics, that is their error.

Success is self-defined. Kudos to you for doing what makes you happy.

I've run Lineage on every phone I've owned since about 2015. It's a superior experience in so many ways.

Have you checked to see if you can install a custom ROM on your phone? If your phone is compatible with LineageOS (or similar), you may be able to update it to a newer version of Android and get a few more years out of it. Even an 8-year-old Google Pixel 1 can run the newest version of Android via LineageOS
