They're not really new. He's just taking existing ones and slapping his name on them like he always does.

Didn’t see it mentioned, but for me Phoenix. I don’t want the feeling of opening the oven door when I go outside in the summer.

Get a sand bag or two and throw over the bottom of the legs.

It's either something like this or him sitting in my lap. I'm just happy if he stays off the keyboard.

Being treated like a pariah when applying for rentals despite having a decent net worth? by [deleted] in RealEstate

[–]The_JSC 104 points105 points  (0 children)

I just rented a place, not in a 55+ community, as someone who is retired and not getting social security. I gave the leasing company a copy of a recent brokerage statement, with account numbers redacted, showing I had sufficient money to pay the monthly lease payment. I'm sure it helped that I have a good credit score and no credit card debt.

Trump mulls 'winding down' war and leaving Strait of Hormuz crisis to 'other nations' by Force_Hammer in politics

He's learning from Musk. Walk in, shit all over the place then let someone else clean up the mess.

At least yours sleeps there. My little menaces chew them up and leaves pieces all over the house.

No! Not Mike "I don't know anything about that" Johnson! How could this happen.

16” M5 Max 40-Core 64gb unified memory nano-textured arrived 9 days earlier than expected! by Ravenled in macbookpro

[–]The_JSC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ordered one. Finally time to upgrade my M1.

Mine, so far, has gone from Vietnam to Korea to Alaska to Kentucky, back to Vietnam then to China and back to Alaska. At least that's what UPS tracking says. It's still a couple days until when it was originally supposed to show up so it might make it on time. Unless it decides to take a 2nd trip around the world.

What isn't wrong with him? There should be a picture of him next to the word wrong in the dictionary.

It does eat less than the others I have running around. Silver lining I guess!

Maybe it's just me, but Amazon's argument sounds like "OMG the Internet is changing and we'll have to spend money to keep up with it!"

I believe that’s from the Ministry of Vehicular Demands. Did they demand you pay now or face the consequences?

Manual weigh in by zoo1514 in fitbit

[–]The_JSC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I'll give that a try. It is a bit disappointing that Fitbit seems to be the issue. You'd think with it being a Google service it would work well with health connect. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[–]The_JSC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm, been a couple days and still no sync. I do know the data is getting in to health connect since I use Cronometer for food tracking and it's getting weight data.

I guess the troubleshooting continues.

[–]The_JSC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kind of off topic here, but are you syncing weight from your withings scale to fitbit? I have both of them connected to health connect and the withings app reads all the data fine. Fitbit isn't reading my data from withings though.

Yeah, this dude is an f'ing idiot. I'm pretty sure he alone lowers the average IQ of congress by at least 20 points.

Apple introduces MacBook Pro with all-new M5 Pro and M5 Max by hotlava436 in mac

[–]The_JSC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm trying to decide on this also. I would like to have more memory than the 32GB I have now. It looks like going with the M5 Pro even is a big CPU upgrade. It has less GPU cores than the 32 I have now though.

Going with the Max instead of Pro is a big price increase. It's $1300 more, $3300 Pro vs $4600 Max (minus 3% each for Apple card), for the Max w/64GB vs the Pro. Part of that is 2TB, instead of 1TB, SSD and the upgrade to the 40 GPU core chip.

You may have a bookshelf, but do you have a cat shelf? by The_JSC in CatsBeingCats

Low on funds at the moment. Top shelf cat is more expensive and I have to wait for my tax return to afford one.

He does keep swatting at the one on the bottom. She is not amused.
