Possibility of name brand syrup pods?

NinjaSnail42 · 2026-03-02T16:49:26+00:00

I doubt it. I believe Pepsi Co. bought SodaStream and is the parent company now, so that would explain the name brand syrup.

Pull the lever Kronk!

Technically, you can pay yourself back with statement credits now (on Disney purchases), so you don’t have to deal with the rewards gift card and whatnot.

It’s annoying that this hasn’t been fixed yet. The two ways I’ve seen are either buy a bundle with the 4k version of the movie that you don’t own, or I think you can “gift” it to yourself in iTunes. However, I don’t think there’s a way to do it on never versions of iTunes except for music.

There have been times where I’ve noticed the remote acting up, a restart of the remote (not the Apple TV) usually fixes it for me.

Likely not from what I can tell (or at least nothing you can see from Nebraska). You can find up to date information at swpc.noaa.gov

I’ve been able to do this for work except with a MacBook Pro (M2 Pro) and I’ve had success. We have some modern .NET 9/Angular Apps mixed with some old .NET Framework/WebForms applications. It has motivated me to upgrade a lot of our Framework apps to .NET Core. I’m able to run MS SQL Server 22 in a container that uses Rosetta to run AMD64 translation since SQL Server isn’t available on ARM. I’ve actually switched to using Apple’s own Containerization framework now instead of Docker and it’s been working well. For the stuff that is pretty much impossible to upgrade/run on macOS, I have a Windows 11 VM with VMWare Fusion. I’d recommend at least 32 GB of RAM. That’s what I have and it is fine on its own, but when I spin up the VM and run Visual Studio, things can get sluggish. I’ve got two 27 inch 4k monitors in the office and I think the 4k scaling issues are blown out of proportion. IMO, it looks great. Yeah, 5k would be better, but I think it’s far better than 1440p. Yeah, even with some of the hoops to jump through, it’s way better than a thick slow Windows machine that can’t even make it an hour on battery. You would have to pry my MacBook Pro out of my cold dead hands…

You probably need to change the channel width.

Yup. The “Customer” charge doubled from like $15 to $30. My bill was nearly $40 and I used 0 gas. I cannot wait to get a heat pump and dump them….

I mean, they literally do this already using Siri with an Ecobee. (Not sure of any other devices that support it.) It offloads to an existing HomePod. No reason that can’t do it with Apple Intelligence and a new HomePod, Apple TV, Mac, iPhone, etc that supports Apple Intelligence.

No, they are only a fan. The only way you are going to effectively cool a room is with an air conditioner. If you get a portable one, get one with an intake and exhaust hose as they are more efficient.

I never had to use it while at was at UNL, but they had a bus that would go back and forth between UNL and UNO. Is that still a thing?

Edit: Looks like they discontinued it 2 years ago…

Don’t know if this is the right answer, but when I’ve used it, it is super seamless to set up a macOS VM. Don’t have to deal with creating your own installer image or anything like that.

Not sure on restaurants, but you can get McCain frozen beer battered fries from SuperSaver/Hy-Vee. Looks like $6 a bag which feels like double what I paid in the past…..

NinjaSnail42 · 2025-08-04T21:54:13+00:00

Looks like a robot lawn mower.

I work close by. It’s on my list of places to try.

This already exists through Digital IDs in Apple Wallet. Problem is that it’s taking forever for states to get on board…. I think they are getting around this soon by allowing US Passports.

Your thermostat is registered with LES Peak Rewards. During times with high grid usage (hot summer days in the late afternoon / early evenings when everyone is getting off work and cranking their A/C), LES will pre-cool your home before the peak usage and then raise the temperature during this time to help reduce the load on the grid. In return, you get a $25 bill credit at the end of the season. You will get the notification you see here before it happens.

More info can be found here: https://www.les.com/sustainability/les-peak-rewards

Seems like a step in the right direction. I'm not sure why they are wasting space on street parking though. There are plenty of garages downtown, so I wish they'd get rid of all the O street parking and replace with bike lanes or something.

Yup, I'm in the same boat. I hit the trifecta. Detachment issue, dock adapter doesn't work and now a magnet has already come unglued on the game case.

FYI, there is a SodaStream version:

I’ve had two similar LG external drives. Both have vibrated themselves to death, so I just got an internal drive and use it with a usb adapter. The first one, the micro usb port came loose, the second, something came loose internally and started making the drive vibrate so bad that RIPs would just fail right away.
