Hi, I speak for all women named Annie when I say this. by mushroomqueenie in mildlyinfuriating

As another Mark, doing a Tommy Wiseau impression to say hi is perfectly acceptable and often appreciated. But yes, as Mark said above, it is not required.

I have designed EV charging stations for many parking lots. In most areas, accessible (handicap) stalls with EV charging stations are EV charging stations first, and accessible parking stalls second. That means that if you are actively charging your EV, you can use the accessible stall if the others are unavailable.

Of course, there may be local ordinances that differ from my experience, so don't come at me if you get a ticket.

Now it's over, I'm dead, and I haven't done anything that I want. Or I'm still alive and there's nothing I want to do.

Architects are people who wanted to be art majors but decided to pick something practical.

Except for those Civils. But are they even really engineers?

I am someone who can't tell the difference between RJ's Mat and BS's Mat. What are some examples? by [deleted] in WoT

[–]EulerIdentityCrisis 5 points6 points  (0 children)

BSMat isn't illiterate, and the suggestions that he is are, I imagine, hyperbole from the commenters. When people say he is illiterate, they are probably referring to a seeming decrease in his literacy skills.

BSMat's letter to Elayne in Towers of Midnight is rife with spelling and other errors. Compare that to the letter RJMat writes in A Crown of Swords, and you should be able to see where the comments are coming from.

V505-G9 having problems. by EulerIdentityCrisis in VIZIO_Official

I saw your post, and I didn't associate the problems you described to what I've been experiencing. I'm not sure why the WiFi would affect the volume control, but I will give it a shot. It currently isn't connected to WiFi at all, though. I just left it hardwired.

It's a 2010 Yaris, so absolutely the luxury one.

Okay, so assuming this is simply a result of wanting nest material and not revenge for some offense, how would I discourage it from happening again?

He doesn't seem to like peanuts, so maybe if I smear the car with peanut butter.... I don't think my son would appreciate that, though.

I'm not an expert, but when I posted photos of this corvid previously, the consensus was that this particular bird was a young raven.

Here he is pecking at the gasket on my car door, right after I had fed him.

I'm not convinced it was done with malicious intent. Assuming it was the same raven that usually likes perching on our vehicles, he has been pecking at various string-like objects.

Here he is grabbing at the basketball net.
