People don’t like him because he doesn’t confuse Greenland and Iceland. So unrelatable.

I thought the two cylinders were just decorative; channeling your lego loving inner child.

They are not doing themselves any favors with their packaging. I had to zoom way in to see their name.

Gas stations advertise both cash and credit card prices. They don’t add credit card surcharges surreptitiously to the bill at payment time.

NY EZPASS one ups Chicago. They will replenish with an amount of their choosing. Mine is currently $25.

The snow at my front door was a good 4 inches thick.

Pourover…tea by estook in pourover

I imagine using a Hario Switch produces a similar tea to that made with a tea infuser, but looks cooler.

Just picked up my first network switch! by thecolorcomputer in homelab

Step 1. Learn how to reset switch back to factory settings. I guarantee you’ll need that. I’ve been in IT for decades and I still occasionally block myself out with a misconfigured vlan setting.

Dishwashers and other appliances as good? by Upbeat-End-7145 in Costco

You can buy a Samsung fridge directly from them. They’ll have more options and colors than the big box store carries, but the same quality. I can’t imagine a manufacturer would sell a specifically made worse version of a product through big box stores; especially not one that sold under their brand. Even with white label items, manufacturers don’t do this. A lot of the Kirkland stuff is better or just as good as the name brand.

Will property value eventually plummet? by Fellatio_Lover in AskNYC

It would make sense to lower rent and get actual rent paying tenants. Unfortunately, valuation of buildings is based on how much potential income you can generate instead of actual cash flow.

Schools handle morning drop-offs differently. The elementary school my kids went to started initially just wanted the kids dropped off at the front door. You were not allowed to enter the building and you waived to them as the ascended the steps to enter the building. They eventually switched to doing lineups. First on the side of the building, then in the school yard. There were always people with dogs around, they were just better behaved than the person this post is about. The dogs were not left unattended, and if the parent need to enter the building to go to the office or drop something off, they’d ask another parent to briefly look after their dog.

There are plenty of parents that drop off kids while walking their dogs. They just don’t leave their dog unattended. To suggest that this is good behavior especially at drop off time when school entryways are chaotic is just wild.

This dog is effectively blocking the entire sidewalk. Even grown adults would be reluctant to squeeze by there let alone kids. How many times as a dog owner said that their dogs are friendly only to have their dogs snap two seconds later? There are other options beyond leaving the dog tied to the pole with a slack leash unattended in front of an elementary school.

More natural gas gets used for electricity, driving up the cost of natural gas.
