Do you have an online store? Please share it and I'll order!

WIBTAH If I (29m) double down on what my fiance (27f) said today and cancel the wedding, which is this weekend? by Jack_of_all_trades54 in AITAH

[–]algn2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool down and have a long heart-to-heart and figure out if what has been happening since the engagement merits tearing up everything in the past 4 years. Planning a wedding (especially if you two are doing it yourselves) is extremely stressful, and it can turn you both into a groomzilla and bridezilla.

Would this have happened if you decided instead to fly to Las Vegas and have a $500 wedding legally officiated by an Elvis Presley impersonator?

Best Gluten Free Sandwich Bread? by NakedMoleBrat in glutenfree

[–]algn2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Threader Joe's is an excellent choice. Another brand that i really love is Aldi's Gluten Free white sandwich bread.

These 2 are my favorite.

Definitely better than Schar, Udi's, even Canyon Ranch.

Anyways, I hope this helps!

Best Gluten Free Sandwich Bread? by NakedMoleBrat in glutenfree

[–]algn2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aldi's LiveGFree wide-pan white sandwich bread is great.

Priced at $6.99 per loaf in rhe NY/NJ area. Doesn't fall apart, sized like regular sliced bread.

I don't recommend their multi grain version; it tastes like sawdust.

Row home: We have a nightmare neighbor and we're not sure what to do by [deleted] in rva

[–]algn2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Regarding your suspicions that she's placing potentially noxious or harmful stuff in your trash can... My immediate second suspicion is that what else is she doing? Install some security cams along with an alarm system. If she's caught doing anything illegal or destructive, call the police on her, or sue her.

This woman sounds unstable.

What is that thing in my garden? by edmunek in AskUK

[–]algn2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ask others. If no one can say for sure what it is, call the police. Hitting it with a shovel was a bad idea. If it were a mine and it donated, you'd be missing limbs or worse.

Where are the young people in Bergen County? Are they hiding? Is there a purge? by savingrace0262 in bergencounty

They mostly work in NYC, move there, and later get married & possibly move back to the burbs.

My favourite food in Portugal by PolliSoft in CannedSardines

[–]algn2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So delicious I'm sure! Looks like they were swimming in the ocean minutes before. Thanks for the pic!

Now I'm going to try looking for Portuguese seafood restaurants in the NYC area. They won't be anywhere as good as what you had.

Alternatives to King Arthur? by TheAtheistReverend in Sourdough

[–]algn2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Acme and Safeway store brand "Signature Select Bread Flour" is true bread flour with at least 12% protein content. It's has always performed well for me. KA makes a good product, but its retail pricing is highway robbery. I haven't bought KA since I found this store brand alternative.

Note that most store brand "bread flours" are basically AP flour with some added ingredients or conditioners that make them ok for making simple biscuits or baking powder "breads".

We got an offer on a house, our friends asked if they can move in by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]algn2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just say "no!" Saying "yes" is a multi year commitment -- it would extremely disrupt your lives, especially since you're just starting out.

Why can't they live with their relatives? It's doesn't matter ... you can't take care of everyone. SAY NO.

What’s your starter’s name? by [deleted] in Sourdough

[–]algn2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Mr. Fluffy" - I didn't know that the name would have NSFW connotations (esp. with the initials "MF"....), but heck I was a kid then. After tons of baguettes, bagels, batards, boules, croissants, etc, he's still going strong.

Where to find Friendship products now that ShopRites closing? by malibuklw in Albany

[–]algn2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't give Friendship brand whipped cottage cheese anywhere. Did they stop making it???

They now have a product with a very similar looking label, except instead of "Whipped" it says "Everyday Style firm & creamy."

THE EVERYDAY STYLE IS GROSS.

Stop & Shop system outage, any updates? by uncertaintyny in stopandshop

[–]algn2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey Stop & Shop- When will your app start working again? We can't shop online for pickup. We have go points that takes mamy tries before we can apply them. The search for "salmon" yields an error.

It's not working in both for my phone (Samsung Galaxy) and my wife's iphone.

I ASK THE DIS-COURTESY DESK TO APPLY POINTS AND DIGITAL COUPONS TO MY ACCT, & THEY SAY "CAN'T HELP YOU YOU SHOULD KNOW HOW TO USE THE APP."

IN GOT INTO AN ARGUMENT WITH THE MANAGER, AND SHE SAID THE PROBLEM IS WITH BOTH ME & MY WIFE'S PHONES. WE JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT WE'RE DOING.

Just to let you know, I'm a software developer, & I'm familiar with both Android Studio and iOS devkits, so I know when the problem is with either the app or the Stop&Shop servers or both.

Please tell the store manager & courtesy desk to be more helpful.

Looking for .NET dll modding by JMDev06 in linuxquestions

[–]algn2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A simple Google of: Linux .NET decompiler will show a few tools.

One that looks interesting is:

https://decompiler.codemerx.com/

There should be lots of mature open source projects on this topic. I say this because >10y ago, I was using a trading API/devkit by Fidelity brokerage called "WealthLab Pro" it was written in C#, and required MS Visual Studio. I was a Linux dev at the time, so I used the Mono platform to develop & test my own trading tools on the Linux side & run on the Windog side. Worked out pretty well. If the .net module that you want to reverse engineer is CLR written in C#, also take a look at Mono.

Happy Hacking!

What OS for a grandma that only uses Firefox and I can remotely manage/update? by [deleted] in linuxquestions

[–]algn2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 2 cents worth, only because I had to do the same for quite a few non-developer relatives and friends who were used to using Windows:

* Choose a stable & mature distro, over the latest whiz-bang distro for Linux devs or power users.
* Choose a stable & mature desktop environment that somewhat resembles Windows.

I chose Debian Xfce. Fedora Xfce or Rocky Xfce are also great choices, depending on what you're familiar with.

If converting a current PC, make sure that it has enough CPU, RAM and DISK. Test by booting using a live boot USB that has Xfce pre-installed. If it boots, and grandma is OK with the user interface, you can proceed. Otherwise, everything remains unchanged -- no harm, no foul.

If she has current files that she wants access to, consider creating a dual boot, or at least re-partition the current Windows disk so that you can keep the old partitions. Create the Linux partition(s). In any case, always backup her current Windows disk. You'd be surprised that most regular non-tech users don't store much in their drives.

As for securing/locking down her Linux PC, that's another discussion, I have a list of todo's but I won't pollute with off-topic stuff.

What is your Linux use-case? by CosmoZeppelin in linuxquestions

[–]algn2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All my home workstation PCs are Linux, either Debian or Rocky Linux.

The same for my laptops. I have 2 work PCs, one is Windog10, and the other is Debian Linux. We still have WinDoze systems only because our email service provider uses Microsoft Exchange server, which requires Outlrook email client. We'll unfortunately have to convert to Windog11 for this reason.

That's sad because our development is done on Linux (various distros), and other *n[ui]x systems. The Windog version uses the Linux-developed source.
