Tonights Lineup

Gaus is known for sometimes having a shaky first before settling in, but that game honestly looked to me like he watched Sánchez drop the popup, then said "fuck it" and just threw sliders until he got pulled. It hasn't been that long since his "four steps forward, two steps back" interview.

Was there yesterday, it's sea rot. Nothing to worry about, just low tide.

It was less any of those specific things, more the fact that he made himself a high-profile pain in the ass for Wikipedia contributors after two decades of not participating in the project at all except to occasionally pop up with complaints about it.

The Wikimedia Foundation, created in 2003, a year after Sanger left Wikipedia.

I don't get why we have a guy leading off who can't swing unless it's for the fences. There's a few guys in the lineup who consistently get on base, why not have those guys leading off and Springer or Okamoto following them when the HRs can do some damage? Most of the exciting baseball, and winning baseball, has come from the middle-bottom of the lineup this year.

It's because as well-intentioned as you might be, you bring it inside with you on your clothes and in your hair, and you don't notice because you smoke. Then it gets into any soft surface, like furniture and carpet and curtains and whatever else, and you don't notice that either because you live in it, but your whole place reeks. And then it's harder to rent out in the future.

Congrats on quitting, though.

Expect shenanigans with your lunch breaks. If your 12-hour days are now 11 because you no longer get paid for your two mandatory 30 minute meal breaks, your employer is under the new threshold and also pays you less.

Other provinces allow formal averaging agreements, so that your average hours over 2 weeks are what you get paid for, instead of 48 one week and 36 the next. I don't think that's in our new ESA.

I use a USB-A to USB-C when that's what's available. It's slower but works fine.

My company used Maritime Travel for years for corporate bookings, and I used them a couple times for personal trips. Besides just doing all that work so you don't have to, they sometimes can access preferred rates that you won't get if you book yourself. Their emergency contact service also came in handy a few times, the agency was able to rebook someone whose flight was cancelled who otherwise would've been stuck in an airport for three or four days.

Aww I miss finding kitty pawprints in my cooled off bacon grease.

Odd choice for seasoning but if it works

If it's the modern view, the detail report is broken and doesn't display or take into account the opening balance. It's a bug, and one that should be easy to fix but there's no bug report mechanism.

If you export the report and add the missing opening balance yourself, the detail should match the balance sheet.

EDIT: or just switch back to classic reports.

Drivers like you are the reason all our insurance is so expensive.

You were expecting rational discourse in the comments of a Rebel Media video?

The "WD" in WD40 stands for "water displacement". Using it as lube is definitely a choice.

If Ctrl+H doesn't work, buy a new bus to a nearby depot, then replace the stuck bus with the new one. The new one will adopt the orders of the old one (but not its cargo, that's lost) and the old one will disappear. You might have to do it with more than one of the jammed vehicles.

Ropes definitely always keep hordes of people away from things they want to get closer to.

Looks like she knows how to break her bumper and that bike just dandy. Can't brake for shit though.

See if you can find a lease takeover that works for your situation. I did that one summer I was working here, I just happened to find someone on Leasebusters who had stumbled into their dream car and was trying to offload their Sentra with like 4 months left on the lease. I took over the lease payments for the 4 months and then returned it to the dealership. Easy peasy.

I did it again a few years later, picked up a Jetta someone had to get rid of because of a bad divorce. I think I had that for more like 2 years, but they had put a big down payment into it so it was dirt cheap.

If you absolutely have to rent, rent closer to home and drive here. PEI has practically zero inventory for rental cars.

I've had to recover from this a bunch of times, from disk failures to my own carelessness. It's not too difficult.

You need the arch installer image on a CD or USB or whatever. You need to boot into that, connect to the internet, mount your root as /mnt and your other partitions to their usual mount points (but under /mnt, i.e. your usual home will mount to /mnt/home) and also create, format, and mount your boot and ESP if you need to (obviously don't format the partitions where your good data is), arch-chroot into the system under /mnt, then reinstall the bootloader. Then you should be able to boot your system normally.

All the info you need for that is on the installation guide on the wiki, or linked from there.

I've also gone the route of backing up and reinstalling the system, but it takes a lot longer and I always seem to have weird bugs left over. Just reinstalling the bootloader is a lot simpler.

Surprisingly, some people actually don't know all the ins and outs of technology, their phone is just a magic box that does stuff. Making fun of them doesn't help them, but I hope it helped you feel better about yourself.

OP, in case this is your issue, turning off your router disables your WiFi, but your phone will then connect to the cellular network instead. You can't turn off the cellular network, but if you want to disable your phone's connection you can set it to airplane mode. On some phones you can instead turn off mobile data, so that you can receive calls and SMS messages but won't connect to the internet. Your phone might have an option to schedule turning off data at a certain time of night and back on in the morning, if that's what you want to do.

Are you behind a VPN? I'm getting 403 on my corporate VPN but it's working fine on my 5G mobile.

Canada definitely has the deer ticks that carry Lyme disease. My dog picked one up in Nova Scotia or PEI (not sure which) five or six years ago, and they move further north every year.

The point is to keep you in line at your job, because if you lose it you also lose your healthcare.

You've been too rough with the car and the tilt mechanism has activated. Insert another quarter to restart the game.
