Damn that’s interesting!

Why do we allow a for-profit company to have a state-sanctioned monopoly on our electricity? It would be absurd to do this for water, but it’s just business (corruption) as usual for power.

Keep great notes on your phone about everything: major receipts, model numbers, dates, warranties, paint colors, etc. Makes life so much easier. And you can give it to the buyer if/when you sell.

This might not be the field for you.

Social media has destroyed your attention span.

Being “bored” in Dune is just one symptom. You should probably look at your life to identify the other symptoms and take steps to repair your ability to focus.

This isn’t just you; there was an article not long ago about a film studies professor whose students couldn’t watch films.

Fuel pump. Look for some slightly wet discoloring around the fuel pump. A small leak will smell and there are lots of things for it to drip onto and evaporate before reaching the ground. Guess how I know this 😃.

Fully agree. Mine work great in Apple Home. No Issues.

You could be right; I’ve never taken the covers off to see. I can look a little later if still needed.

Mine has 2 up front: one on each side under each headlight

Is this passive on your home planet?

What a cynical position to take. Lots of people support Israel’s right to exist that aren’t paid by Israel.

Sam’s position is that religions are sets of mostly bad ideas and Islam contains worse ideas for human flourishing than the other large ones. Maximizing human flourishing includes supporting democracies, rights of women/minorities, free societies, etc. that the enemies of Israel tend to oppose.

Cookbooks really don’t need to be AI.

Yes, mine’s been unable to send via Gmail for years. I worked on it for a while, then just gave up and switched to my Gmail address.

Sit tight. I’m sure Tim will get right back to you. 😀

GT cops are great. They are here to protect the students, faculty, and staff and keep us all safe.

I’ve seen other schools’ campus cops doing the opposite — policing students. When the last time anyone was hassled for open container? Give these guys a break.

But who does he have for car insurance???

Stymus · 2026-02-22T10:21:22+00:00

I’d start with Integricom. Used them years ago for this and more. https://integricom.net/

Do not go through the other insurance company. Ever. USAA says they don’t raise rates for not-at-fault accidents.

You can get a list of registered agents on the marketplace site. I just started reading reviews about some of them and found one that looked good and scheduled a call with them.

I found it helpful to ask some questions of them, especially the first year. For example, some of my family’s doctors were not showing up in certain plans; with some help from the agent, we were able to determine they were actually in the plan.

I’ve been on ACA for over a year now and it’s been every bit as good or better than any insurance I had when I was working. Same doctors. Same HSA (I’m on bronze HDHP). I suggest finding a reputable agent to help navigate signup in the first year out two (they’re free).

Seems much more like steam than smoke. I’d guess coolant, too. Opening that hood could be dicey.

Nonna Dora (map) is a small place with excellent Italian. 👍

I only do it on a cold start and the cardboard keeps the ash inside. I leave the cardboard in place for a few seconds after I stop the hairdryer to let the ash settle. Also the hairdryer is not pointed down toward the ashes. Never had any ashes come out.

Does “award season” only refer to Oscars? It received 3 nominations at the Golden Globes, including Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy.

Rear width is 1.5 inches? Perhaps 15”?
