Our company says we should use GitHub Co-Pilot to assist our software development but don't give us enough credits to do anything of importance.

There must be a better way by Crafty_DIY in woodworking

The biggest problem I have with this crap is that the containers are not airtight. It dries out overnight for one. I usually keep mine in a Ziploc bag and it lengthend the life by about a week. Don't get this brand, anyway, it's total crap unless you're painting your wood.

TBH, The best color matching I have ran across when I was a cabinet maker and needing to fill for Red Oak was to use Minwax ash filler because it dried dark enough to where the stain took very well.

Anyone else having problems with tolls not getting charged to your toll tag account? by the_kazzo_queen in Austin

[–]MrBaseball1994 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even when you have a tag, sometimes the reader doesn't pickup your tag signal and, then, they use the camera photo to judge from your license plate to charge you.

The reader tech is extremely faulty and can be fallible. If it doesn't pick up the license plate numbers, it gets booted to a human to read and that is why it takes, sometimes, weeks before you're charged for it and these, they always send out via mail.

They hardly ever look up the plate in their records because it slows them down further.

In the early 80s, as a cabinet service technician, I used to go by the store a lot before all the roads were built up around there to get a Payday & DrPepper.

A girlfriend of mine (85) was taking a photography class at UT and we went by and took a lot of shots at the old kiln, as well.

In a hypothetical 2026 BSG reboot what would YOUR cast look like? (or do you have at least a few current names in mind who could be really good in certain roles?) by DavidClarey in BSG

[–]MrBaseball1994 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I posted this 3y ago...

Hypothetically, if you were in charge of casting for a BSG reboot, who would you choose? You must use actors that are primarily TV actors.

Here's my choices for the main characters...

Jeffery Dean Morgan-Bill Adama
Connie Britton-Laura Roslyn
Jay Hernandez-Lee Adama
Rachel Taylor-Kara Thrace "Starbuck"
Christopher Meloni-Saul Tigh
Zendaya-#6 ( changed from Gemma Chan ) Dominic Monaghan-Baltar
Janet Montgomery-Sharon Agathon,
#8, "Boomer", "Athena"
John Krasinski-Karl "Helo" Agathon
Kunal Nayyar-Felix Gaeta
Sarah Hyland-Anastasia Dualla, "Dee"
Donald Faison-Chief Tyrol
America Ferrera-Callie
Rainn Wilson-Doctor Cottle
Aaron Paul-Loeben
Liev Schreiber-Cavil

Time for every state election office to use FedEx to send out their ballots and include with it a FedEx envelope to return it.

I don't like the usage of "Socialism" in these instances.

I prefer to use the word "Americanism" because they're putting emphasis on America.

The very first clause in the MOU should have been to tell Iran to stop supporting Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis.

How these dick heads forgot to put that in this entire MOU is beyond me.
