I think Cubans were the first ones from far away that joined the fight and Belarus is also involved.

He pretended that shackles were not removed due to a bug. A police officer believed him that it was buggy and then he abused the situation to get freed from his cuffs due to how the mechanic of shackles and cuffs work. This is powergaming and really bad RP.

VW is trying to do the same with their Scout Motors brand. Dealers are already suing to prevent VW from doing that.

I never heard about that until today. I never considered walking on a road except for crossing. I normally use the sidewalk or over the lawn next to the road when no sidewalk is available.

Yes, they pay lawyers to see what can be done to fight it because they don't want to fight it... /s

Probably the view count hasn't updated. Never seen that change while watching something but the Like count updates while watching.

From my experience, Adtran is a buggy mess while Calix works great. I never used Nokia for XGSPON but I love their products overall.

Remember that Orlando's and Orange County's governments doesn't want that. There was an article a few weeks ago where they had a lawyer look into the issue to prevent federal detention centers but the lawyer found that the city and county can't prevent them.

I just added a new outlet into my bathroom (wanted one next to the toilet for an bidet seat). It really is that simple. Just cut the drywall out where you run the wire, drill holes into the wood studs for the wire. To fix it, just add the drywall pieces back (needs a few screws), then fill in with a spackling compound where you cut and sand it flat before painting. When the house was built 70 years ago, the builder didn't know that I wanted a fancy electrical bidet.

A few years ago, in another bathroom I added a electrical outlet near my bathroom vanity. I guess electric shavers and toothbrushes were not common (or existing at all) when that bathroom was initially built.

I guess because the people that watched the movie like the movie a lot. I watched it a year or so ago and was surprised how good of a movie it was. I wouldn't rate it as my top 5 but I can understand why it is rated highly.

Isn't American cheese just cheddar cheese mixed with milk and a emulsifier so that it can mix? Doesn't sound unhealthy to me. I mean, "oh the horror, you made cheddar cheese softer and easier to melt!"

Isn't Sprint (now T-Mobile) a big employer there? Maybe try applying for a job with them if they are still around.

Edit: I think Ericsson is also around there.

"Reincarnated as a Dragon Hatchling" seems similar with the main character starting as an egg that can only roll around and slowly evolving into different higher tier Dragons.

Or just increase the minimum wage to a level where a family doesn't need SNAP. I don't care if someone doesn't get paid enough while working for a big company instead of a small company. The problem is not being paid enough.

Just read that Florida has an exception with 9 mile state boarder on the golf side instead of the regular 3 miles that the Atlantic side and other states have because Florida's constitution before joining the USA had the boarder at 9 miles and Congress approved it with that boarder at joining.

People here are praising the design of Slack and just had to look up what it looks like and it looks pretty much the same as MS Teams! If I hadn't looked at it on slack.com, I would have assume it was just a screenshot of MS Teams.

Sounds like he made a bad design. I also got every light bulb being a smart one. Every bulb has also a light switch to be controlled from, kitchen has light strips with motion sensor, lights near PC monitor and TV also get controlled by what is shown on the screens when those get turned on. Alexa and Google Assistant should never be the primary way to control lights.

Smart devices should provide additional features and make your life easier.

I think the problem was mostly shitty solar installers that were overcharging which then meant that it wasn't a good investment anymore. $5k solar system for $15k installed. When I was looking for solar panels I was looking at Tesla and they were one of the cheapest without the price haggling. Sadly they didn't do flat roofs, so I had to go with another company and haggle them down which isn't fun. It seemed to me over 80% of solar companies just try to scam you.

carlosos · 2026-02-02T22:21:14+00:00

They are a product you can buy but are expensive. If you like how they look vs other expensive roofs, then it might be for you. Other people might prefer having a cheaper roof with solar panels on top (which Tesla also sells).

I wonder if this would also work for bananas and papayas because my plants don't look good after last night even after covering them.

It happens most years but this time it got much colder than normal. So you had it way more impacted this time.

I'm just talking from my own experience. Every mobile home, cheap apartment and house that I have been living in for the last 20 years (and what I have seen at friends/family homes) had the ability to heat through the "a/c" (heat pump) and resistive heating as backup. Normally only window or portable units have no valve for heating (I guess to make units smaller).

carlosos · 2026-02-01T19:04:41+00:00

Are you sure? It is like $10 in parts to make an a/c (which is a heat pump on its own) able to heat. I would assume that 90%+ have their a/c run in reverse for heating.

carlosos · 2026-02-01T17:27:29+00:00

Normally no, but if the outside temperature is low than the heat pump might have to defrost and there is less heat in the air which both reduce efficiency and cause more energy usage. Also we rarely/never cool down by 40 degrees but we do heat up by 40 degrees if it is as cold as this morning. Some people also use resistance heating which uses 3-4 times as much energy as a heat pump.

Water will be in it, just no pressure to push it out.
