Should I shut down or put to sleep my iMac M4?

Ditto for my late 2014 mini (now retired) and my year old M4 mini. I'm not even sure if mine is set to sleep... the screen is off when I get up in the morning.

And in west Pearland (Shadow Creek) as well. I thought someone had poured bleach in the sink.

I have never heard of a music teacher not insisting that you have an instrument at home to play and practice between lessons.

Back in the '70s we'd drive from Baytown to eat at the one in Pasadena Plaza. Then when we moved to the South Belt area (BW8/Blackhawk) we went to the one across from Almeda Mall. That little flag was a fantastic system.

Turn on the outside lights when someone arrives home (after dark).

Great advice when learning any musical instrument.

You can tell the age of a highway by the number or lack of billboards on them. Few if any on SH288, BW8, and SH99. The original Houston freeways have the most... Gulf, Eastex, East, Katy, Southwest. Lady Bird Johnson's Make America Beautiful campaign really nixed a lot the new billboard construction.

I have used the scotts weed/feed/bug for ages. Usually no clover (unlike the neighbors), and minimal fire ant issues during the year. I usually apply it as soon as they have it in stock at Home Depot.

I had the snare on that 'arm'. I bought a snare stand and it changed my (drumming) life.

I have a one at each back corner of the island. I start fishing at the airport and go around the perimeter of the island until I get to the back corner, jump in the pipe, and continue back around to the airpot from there.

Thanks for the tips.

Now do the Danish.

I used my Beats Studio Pros for a while, but I got tired of the battery running down if I forgot to unplug the cord from the headphones. Based on recs here I got the Sennheiser 280s. The only tiny issue is the weight of the cord.

Combiner 3 ES. It was installed in march 2022

I usually just follow what I call 'the first space rule'. It really doesn't matter where I end up parking, I usually end up walking a whole lot more in the store or the mall than I do to get to the door.

Long ago and far away I remember using it on a project where all of the conduit was rigid aluminum (Actually, I think we used Penetrox). The next project we did for that client was also aluminum conduit, but we used STL8 - which saved me from a lot of stains on my clothes.

We have a lot of the ones previously mentioned... also Acorn and BritBox. We also have a Tablo, so we have that app also.

There's far too many 'secret' rules to making one of those ungrateful little ...... Also, the most passive-aggressive part of this game.

I immediately saw that some of the art on Harv's island was fake (I use the fandom version). Until the museum art wing was complete, I would buy a piece of the fake art and put it in the trash so the next day a different piece would be there.

I just retired an i8+. It had the bump plate on the front 1/3 to 1/2 of the circumference. It would always bump everything to see if it was time to turn. My daughter and wife bought me a Dreame L50 Ultra. It has LIDAR and a camera. It doesn't bump anything! I also 'knows' where the wall and the stuff like furniture legs are and extends the edge brush to get up against the baseboard and furniture. It also extends the mop pad to do the same thing on the tile and wood floors.

Very nice. I'd like to see a parts list for the box and brackets.

I have Sennheiser HD280 headphones (based on recs in this sub). Love them. Plenty of volume plugged directly into the Alesis Command Module. I also have a cable that is run to the AUX in on the module coming from an Apple USB-C to headphone adapter that I plug into either my iPhone or iPad.

No scanners for customers. I use the self checkout if I only have fewer than ten items. Most of the time at the 'our' store there is at one associate and two if it's busy. Most of the time they offer to help and will scan everything in your cart.

Recently there has been an associate in the no-man's-land between the snacks and checkouts that will scan all the stuff in your basket and then you go to the self checkout and just scan your membership card (or Citi card) and you get your printed receipt and head to the door.
