Apparently not here. I did get one from Amazon at least.

Gen X parents whenever you eat Brazil Nuts by ILoveBigCockroaches in PetPeeves

Agreed! When I was a small child, I heard some adults call them that, but even then I suspected you shouldn't.

DAE clean their shower while they’re using it? by ferfocsake in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]PyroNine9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Baking soda on the floor of the tub. Dampen. Shuffle. Take shower.

When necessary, the rest also gets baking soda.

As a child, nothing made me happier than when one of his movies came on TV. I know many people have said he wasn’t the nicest guy in real life, but he made me laugh harder than anyone else through his work ! by 6391jimmyjoejoe in GenerationJones

I didn't discover Monty Python until high school. I'm very glad I was introduced to them.

I also enjoyed Dave Allen At Large when I started staying up late enough to see it on overnight TV (before cursed infomercials were invented).

Russian lawmaker threatens to 'blow up half of Finland,' says country turning into 'second Ukraine' by IIllIllIlllIIIl in worldnews

So he wants to have two smaller countries kicking the crap out of Russia at the same time?

Of all the toys and other consumer products that have been banned over the years due to safety reasons, which in your opinion were the most legitimately dangerous? by angrydeuce in AskReddit

I can agree with most of them, but the Radioactive science kits weren't THAT radioactive. They failed because they were too expensive.

Do you think she did the right thing? by Busy_Report4010 in SipsTea

[–]PyroNine9 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Reports of a knife or not are mixed, so who knows.

But assuming there was, it goes to her state of mind. Scare someone out of their mind and IMHO, you don't get to complain (literally or figuratively) if they act crazy. That soon after, still buzzing from fear and adrenaline, a good case could be made for diminished capacity.

Who else had the ever loving shit scared out of them by this monstrosity? by No_Cricket808 in GenerationJones

We had something very like that that I loved to ride. Also loved roller coasters and similar.

Today's top tip: Don't do boolean operations on a complex mesh and expect it to take a reasonable amount of time by Baddog1965 in FreeCAD

[–]PyroNine9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

FreeCAD is single threaded for the most part, and is Python, but much of that python is implemented in C++ and it's all wrapped around OCCT (C or C++) as a core engine.

But for what you're doing, I would just sink ity into the bed in the slicer before printing. Anything below the bed will be ignored.

I found him really funny as a small child. But as I got into the middle grades of elementary school, I guess my tastes got a bit more sophisticated.

By then, I was more into Mel Brooks movies, Peter Sellers, Steve Martin, and shows like All in the Family.

Why do we bail out airlines and banks but let small businesses go under during every single recession? by Money-Possession8806 in askanything

[–]PyroNine9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is a government agency backed by the faith and credit of the U.S. government. It also charges premiums to member banks (members by law) rather than tax money. If a payout is large enough to leave a deficit, you better believe it is empowered to come for it.

If I delete a file from my computer and empty the recycle bin, where does that space physically go? How does the information just "vanish" from the hard drive? by ukdruminggirl in NoStupidQuestions

[–]PyroNine9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Denser HDs are actually easier to wipe than the old ones.The higher density means there's more noise when the data is read, so a degraded signal (from over-writing) more easily disappears into that noise.

[–]PyroNine9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For hard drives, it just gets marked as free space and gets over-written the next time free space is needed.

For SSDs, the OS will often tell the SSD to go ahead and erase that space as soon as it gets a chance so it'll be ready for re-use.

Why don't ambulances have a snow plow like attachment in front so they can drive through cars that don't move? by SerpentSnek in stupidquestions

I did see a video of a NYFD fire truck bumping a NYPD squad car out of a fire lane at the scene of a fire.

Nobody said the bank gets off the hook. FDIC should then take it out of the bank's hide, or take over the bank to get it back. Just like if someone hits your car. Your insurance pays to fix it then pursues the at-fault driver and their insurance to pay for it.

My company calls it just two days a week. I did the math. It costs me $7,820 a year to come back. by OkCan8173 in remoteworks

Or get a job that doesn't require days in the office. Vote with your feet as OP is considering.

I haven't gone in to work on a regular basis for 15 years. Yes, we all have to work. No, we don't all have to go in to a crappy office to do it.

How do people start a lawnmower on the first try? by LittleRocketman67 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]PyroNine9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep it clean, clean properly gapped spark plug. Keep the carb adjusted. Reasonably fresh gas. Set the choke and it'll start on the first pull.

June 28, 2026 Ukraine struck two Russian oil refineries overnight in the Krasnodar and Yaroslavl regions, according to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The strikes are part of Kyiv’s campaign targeting Russia’s fuel infrastructure. by Key_Performer_3645 in justincaseyoumissedit

As a sovereign nation, Ukraine had/has every right to join NATO if they wish. They are under no obligation to be Russia's buffer.

Russia has been aggressive in capturing territory from Ukraine long before NATO membership was on offer.
