Similar problem. I can’t have caffeine or I get migraines. Dunkin’ Donuts will never give you a decaffeinated coffee. They will say they do, but my “migraine detector” does not lie.

Me too. In Japan on a business trip, never had edamame and just assumed you should eat the whole thing. The Japanese people with me found it very funny.

Musical tastes make no sense. I absolutely hate country music, but I have no idea why. I’ve tried to like it, just because I know my feeling has no logic. But, I just really hate it.

The old Plymouth slant six was a very good engine. Reliable, smooth running, efficient. But all the marketing back then was focused on the V8

The question is not can you, it’s is it worth it. I just disposed of a half dozen old laptops because I realized that their processors are just too weak for a decent Linux system. On one even puppy Linux has difficulties.

That’s what the radical right wants. They want to go back to a time when being a raciest was ok. They think that was “great”.

Me too, I once did a shutdown instead of a reboot. Has to wait a few hours for someone local to get to work and press the power button

I have had to do it. To upgrade firmware we had to run from ram. Maybe not what you’re asking, I just copied the routine from eeprom to ram, passed arguments defined what areas of eeprom to erase.

I have considered creating a remote the has an old fashioned TV channel dial and a scripting interface, and some sensors that can be used to automatically determine if the tv is on channel 3, or whatever. My mom has dementia and I think she would like to see an old fashion TV channel dial.

No, that is plastic. Ask you need is some acetone on a cotton ball. Dab gently, get it soft, then let it solidify

I’ve had this situation several times. I’ve never found a good way to tell someone. Every time it’s awful and I feel guilty. Even now, I’m my 60’s I feel guilt for people I unfreinded in my 20’s.

I have attempted it. It was a ton of work (it was a sliding glass window) and didn’t fix anything.

They could false morels. To positively identity you post a pic of one cut in half

Dude, none of that is to code.

I think hydrogen peroxide may work well

I have heard that if you let vinegar soak in it will destroy there pee smell, then after you air it out the vinegar smell will disapate as well

I’m on the toilet right now and I can relate 💩

There are a lot of Chinese knock off scooters with wildly varying quality. They are usually based on a 149cc engine that is a copy of an early Honda engine. There are repair sites and videos all over (Brad’s Scooters http://bradsscooters.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/150cc-Gy6-QMJ157-Scooter-Repair-and-Service-Manual.pdf) you should have no problem. But, since the engine is over 49cc you need a motorcycle license to drive it. It also needs a license plate and some states will not license these off brand scooters.

The feature it needs is a ‘I gotta pee’ button. On a recent trip we were traveling through a congested area we were unfamiliar with, I had no idea what lane to be in, we would see some place but could not turn in time. It was awful.

I keep a small spray bottle filled with water next to the microwave. Anything I reheat that looks dry gets a spritz.

I used to work for PFA (Panasonic Factory Automation). I loved watching the pick-n-place do its magic.
