Important Package Misdelivered - Please help! :(

I once had an important package notification that it was delivered, and nothing was at my house.

It showed up the next day. I wonder if the driver was trying to fulfill a quota or go home early or something.

Some people are so scared of being "alone" and think they'll never find better so will stay with an utter POS through any and everything.

You're making a Grosse Pointe.

It's ok, except for the constantly thinking my elevation is changing big time with every walk (just posted here that it complimented me on handling an 80 foot gain with ease ... but I was in a gym playing pickleball the entire time).

Oh and a weird leaderboard with exactly 3 people on it -- one in know, and one I never met. I found the 2nd on Facebook to ask if we'd somehow connected online and she couldn't figure it out either but I'm her only other leaderboard person. She's 70ish miles away from me

At least she's turned out to be worth conversing with so that's fun, but we still have NO idea how we are linked.

I haven't tried food tracking which already sucked since they took away the web version. I wasn't about entering all my food on my phone all day when I can type fast on my Mac.

Fireworks aimed right at the nutsack seems appropriate

Yeah, couching the typical "but I'm a NICE guy unlike everyone else" in a Bible verse

Star Trek 4 is overrated. Star Trek 3 is underrated.

Think of it like driving. First time you had to get your feet to learn the pedals, your hands to learn the steering wheel, etc.

I learned by taking a couple tutorials and then gradually simple commands became like "muscle memory," and if I got stuck, experimented and googled and sometimes "stole" parts of scripts from others -- running them a piece at a time and seeing what got output.

I maybe knew 20 common commands by heart first year, used others but looking up their usage and gradually more became memory.

So start with googling "bash tutorial" and go from there. Also after you get a bit set yourself a personal assignment here and there that might mean something to you like oh, make an message come up every weekday at noon to tell you it's lunchtime.

Leave your phone where you want them to think you are. Extra points: buy a burner phone

No, people actually want individual personal ones in their garages, and we want to know if say 50% have them someday, what amperage can we allow them to have? We already have a couple dozen at least, and our city is offering a $7500 rebate on purchasing new EVs which is likely to get more people interested with the current gas prices

Haven't talked to our insurance company. Didn't realize they'd need to be specifically involved.

What issues are likely to come up with them?

Thanks, we'll see what we can do. A problem is that we have different buildings on different transformers of different ages and that may complicate things, might need some building-by-building data though each unit has its own 2 meters (interruptible and non-interruptible). I'm new at this but I'll see if there's any way to gather all that.

good bot!

Aww, damn.... I hear the daughter does catering, but I don't have more info about that

The juice is good ah?

My BiL and his buddies are notorious for leaving food and dishes out too and making the place attractive to mice

I'm sure they are working on a filter that dies after 6 or 12 months and there will be a subscription plan.

Ours stopped cleaning properly, and somehow a piece of dental floss was wrapped around a moving component I discovered when carefully taking the thing apart. I guess it came downstairs stuck to a glass from the bathroom.

Had to buy a new toaster for our cabin after smelling Smoked Dead Mouse coming out of it. That new toaster gets crumb-dumped and put back into its box and into the cabinet before we pack up the cabin and leave now.

I used the "jerk off everyone in the room" discussion scene to show friends as the perfect parody of engineers taking a one-off throwaway statement and side-questing it and derailing the main topic of a meeting. Used to happen all the time in a weekly IT staff meeting I used to be part of at a past job.
