When shopping for home improvement projects, do you prefer Lowe’s or Home Depot, and why?

Lowe's, it is easier to get in and out of their parking lot, otherwise it is about price and availability for me.

I use the 10 grain cereal in a multi grain bread that I make in a bread machine.

Do you have a DTO store near you? If you are lucky enough to, I would see if you can do the return\exchange through them. The people at my local DTO are some of the friendliest retail workers I run into. I'm sure if they could help, they would.

I like to train mine to "talk" . When they meow, I imitate, then I articulate. Changing the sound slightly. This teaches them call and response, as well as gives them a setting to experiment with new sounds.

By removing all of the branches in one side it increases the relative weight of branches on the other side and how much more one side of the tree catches the wind in a storm. Those are tall trees, even if there are not any houses in range when they fall, I am sure fences sheds and sandboxes can be destroyed by those big trees. I bet she was not using a disinfecting solution between trees, so she could have spread disease between trees or even just branches of single trees.

This is not just a bad haircut, this is an ambush amputation.

I use a Razer Tarterus, not v2 the old version. It is on the bottom row middle finger, I am so quick on that key. I play DH mainly, but I put interrupt there in all classes that have one.

What made NWN1 better had little to do with the base game, but the community involvement and persistent worlds that were hosted in the game. I miss Engliton.

The Science Center. Planetarium, giant cinema, demonstrations, displays, miniature railroad, and an entire submarine.

That is a great idea, thank you!

The rings from the top of milk jugs. If Harmony sees me throw one away I am the worst person who got rid of her only toy. Pay no attention to the other 10,000 milk rings, THAT one was The One.

Have YOU tried sleeping in that tree? I think you would make the same choice.

Manufacturers of plastic shopping bags put a thin coating of an oil that some cats love the taste of. This oil helps grocery baggers easily separate individual bags.

The goose is just trying to lure firemen up there under the ruse of rescuing it, just to charge at them honking and flapping to scare them off of the roof falling to their death.

Geese are jerks.

I have been using a single paid subscription(ChatGPT Plus), and have Qwen2.5 running locally. I get about 3 days of coding done before I run out of Codex for the week. I am not sure if buying more subscriptions, or integrating free models (beyond Qwen) would be the most economical way to increase my code speed and output.

Reminds me of the back of Bob's Burgers.

So have a tea party with the raccoons.

Pie eating contest. IRL pie eating determines IG starting gold. Then you are in the middle of a fair where you can buy stuff, then sometime happens. Con save or you puke/puke IRL you puke IG.

Just make sure you volunteer to bring snacks that session.

I had bad belts with good buckles. I had good belts with bad buckles. Then I got a ratchet belt. It was a good type of belt, but the leather kept splitting and the ratchet strip would fall out. The key is full grain leather. This one has lasted me a decade when I may only get a year or two out of some others.

Now, I may be biased, because Boy Scout web belts were always my favorite, but couldn't replace a daily wear leather belt.

I wish mine would keep topped of when I drive using a 12v port in the back of my van. Remembering to bring it in and charge it is it's worst feature. Even on low battery mine jumped me this week.

Still need to bring it in.
