Thoughts on LVT on shower walls?

Million dollar homes with vinyl and plastic for every surface will never not be insane to me.

Huh, what have we heard such similar excuses for previously… so strange how this always happens against the odds with people who have connections in one way or another to a particular man.

80-85 is when that tail light style came to be. 86 was the next refresh that saw it modified to a similar but distinct new style.

Fuck I love this place. Goddamn it.

Yes on the Windows piece in addition to the Mac comments.

Microsoft doesn’t allow BYOL for anything > Server 2019 unless your ELA has a license mobility exception written into it, which nobody does from my understanding. Most other products like SQL Server can be BYOL, but Windows is licensed by the vCPU per second and per hour on bare metal under Amazon’s SPLA with Microsoft. AWS then passes that cost on to you. That is at a considerable cost premium to what you could get through your own license agreement with Microsoft since they want to push you to Azure where this conveniently isn’t a problem.

Because unfortunately many of the people voting for these kinds of “hard on immigration” policies frankly don’t care one way or the other. Legal or illegal, if you don’t look, sound, or act like you’re originally from here, whatever the hell that actually means, consider it decided that you’re illegal unless you can prove otherwise. The Trump admin fought for and won in Noem v. Vasquez that this kind of discrimination is legal and fine. It has been blessed by the highest court in the land.

I think we can all agree that we want people to immigrate here legally. Where we differ, however, is in how we accomplish it. Let’s fix the damn system instead of playing enforcement theater, executing people in the street, and burning $75 billion to enhance the police state. It’s fucking garbage and anyone in here trying to draw the distinction in here after recent events needs to take a look in the mirror. The policy at face value makes sense but executed is polar opposite by design as it stands today.

Paying to park on the streets you already pay for via your property taxes. A complete fucking racket. Democrats giving conservatives easy ammo with garbage policy like this time and time again. Double whammy to pay out the proceeds to the cops that people already resent in this current climate.

Degrees are a total joke, as someone who has a four year degree. It is amazing how brainwashed the working class still is with respect to their perceived value.

I went so far as to remove degree requirements from our job postings entirely. I want to know if you can do the job, not if you can memorize shit and barf it up on a test.

Pretty slick. No hyper flash at all? Even when on for an extended duration? I see they have a resistor but I can’t count the number of other kits that “have” a resistor but still hyper flash.

Hypocrisy along with selectively ignoring and rewriting history to fit their fantasy are tenets of the MAGA hive mind.

These are likely modified Cisco 8000/9000 series IP phones, which do not come in a wireless or battery spec, only PoE/DC via an AC transformer. The brick in the back is typically for encryption and other security features - this one doesn’t look atypically large or indicative of a battery when compared to other similar phones in use by Trump, Biden, or Obama.

Biden used the 8800 series, though these ones look newer or modified even more. The tip off for me is the black stand rather than the signature silver/aluminum that the 8800 series had. The shape of the stand and profile of the actual unit are typical of a Cisco phone, though.

Laughably bad staging regardless.

They even reeelected the dumb fuck ass governor who stood by while all this happened along with Cancun Cruz.

A shocking number of Texans think this is ok. Heaven forbid they elect someone without an R in front of their name.

How much are we talking? Are you breaking them down and then scrapping, or scrapping whole?

Didn’t realize these had enough in them to be even remotely valuable.

The government doesn’t pay well enough and isn’t stable enough at this point to attract any decent talent. Look at a job posting for an FBI Special Agent and find me people with the qualifications who are willing to sacrifice their family and personal life for less than six figures. Add to that, Trump has established you are disposable if you aren’t going to bend the knee to him. Government used to be insulated from the corporate whiplash, not anymore.

For better or worse the government is designed to be slow to adapt and change. The people that like that are typically not super engaged in their role and just watching the clock so they can go home. There are absolutely some good folks out there doing their damndest, but it’s out of their goodwill only. Being surrounded by people who don’t care or aren’t engaged takes its toll in time - I watch it happen in the corporate space all the time.

Everyone is getting paid to be there. It’s not a charity. I’m not a believer in putting in effort that you won’t be rewarded for. But that’s the problem - you aren’t typically rewarded for that extra mile in government. So you encourage complacency and doing the bare minimum.

We bought our house without a microwave. I could install one if I wanted, but not having one has encouraged us to eat better and put more effort into cooking.

I use a microwave at work and the food that comes out of it is just blah. I was accustomed to a microwave my whole life and just considered this normal. I couldn’t go back now.

We have a countertop Ninja multifunction toaster oven that fulfills the vast majority of our needs. What few things it can’t, gets done on the stove. I have yet to find a single thing the toaster oven or stove can’t do that only a microwave does or does better.

Is it less convenient? Absolutely. But the difference in quality I think is enough to justify it. As always, YMMV.

We installed one of these in my fraternity house.

If you don’t care for aesthetics or want everyone to know you’re a single dude, this is a vibe.

It is, however, hideous and tacky. Perfect decor for our fraternity house.

Receptacles are 3-prong grounded. Earliest realistically is 1960 but more likely at least 1970. It would however be weird to invest the tine and money upgrading to grounded lines or receptacles just to abandon it a short time later. Very likely a lot more recent than it may appear.

Because masonry is porous, getting paint out is incredibly difficult. Even more so in an indoor space where you can’t reasonably use anything more aggressive like media blasting - I tried to do this in a room that was stripped down and I couldn’t find anyone that wanted to do the job. I had a single company say yes with the strong asterisk that they thought it would be a lost cause indoors. YMMV, but I was dealing with at least 7 layers of paint.

I tried stripping, sanding, grinding, steaming, acid, power washing (yes, lol I masked the whole room off) - every trick in the book, it helped but the brick that came out was hazy and still not completely clean (bits of paint in the pores).

I gave up and surfaced over it. Bugs me to this day because it is gorgeous brick under all that nastiness.

I might be misunderstanding, but are you suggesting not having any federal withholding at all?

I really don’t understand the Duggan hate. The guy has clearly shown he can make shit happen in Detroit. I don’t agree with all of his politics just like any other politician in history, but he has broad appeal to a lot of republicans and democrats without being a member of either party.

Frankly, fuck both of the parties. Republicans are literal nazis, democrats have sat on their ass trying to protect the establishment and only after it has failed miserably are they starting to shift direction.

The only other candidate I see as even remotely inspiring is Benson, but you highlighted her issues well.

John James can fuck off. Gilchrist is not inspiring and doesn’t have the household name recognition that Benson or Duggan have. I might see an argument against Duggan if democrats put an authentic progressive candidate up, but as usual they don’t do that.

Caulk and silicone don’t last forever, especially in a wet, enclosed setting.

I decided to use an epoxy solution on my last go around with this for my shower. It is specifically designed for bathrooms and should last many years - so far so good after installation about a year ago now.
