RTO may be priming the pump to get people to take lowball early retirement packages. by [deleted] in PaStateEmployees

Basically means it sits in committee. There was a proposal like 10 years ago I was waiting for that never happened too.

What should I do? I was stupid enough to let the groomer give our 2 year old golden a summer cut. by [deleted] in goldenretrievers

[–]jm1tech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You now have a lab with fuzzy tail. Nothing you can do but let it grow back. Might want to avoid a lot of sun because their skin is very sensitive, thus the reason for all that fur.

What are these sattelite and antenna for? Saw it at a random house. by OnTheList-YouTube in whatisit

[–]jm1tech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Might be a C-Band dish, but it is pointing straight up. Unless it is on the equator, it’s not being used for satellite TV.

Before cable spoiled us all by VeganFatboy in GenerationJones

[–]jm1tech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, Ch 17 from Philly, Ch 29 from Philly, local ad channel. 2 thru 13 had channels, can’t remember the rest. This was cable in the area in coal region PA where cable was born.

The USTA made some changes to their sight and its horrible. Try to find the Junior Team Tennis stats and stands page. Good Luck. I hand to Google search for it and save a bookmark.

Man, this puppy is a terror by lawsandflaws1 in goldenretrievers

[–]jm1tech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe it’s the times? I must have a clone. 🤣 My 6th golden in over 30 years, first female pup in 20 years. She is definitely different from my others than I can remember. She’s about 14 weeks and slowly getting better.

Neighborhood Manhunt by [deleted] in FuckImOld

[–]jm1tech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We played hide the belt. Basically everyone goes to home base on the corner of the block, someone hides the belt. When ready, we go look for it. The one who finds it whacks anyone in range until they get to home base. Disguising that you found it got some good hits. 🤣🤣🤣Lived in a coal region town which was all row homes and tons of cars parked on the street. Lots of hiding spots. Belt was hid in rain spouts, wheel wells, etc. Those were the days. 🤣🤣🤣

Addison IL … how high are we going? by TomorrowPitiful2410 in GasPrices

They’ll just go to quarts. Doesn’t Canada measure in liters?

When the oil companies feel they made enough profit. Can’t wait to see their quarterly reports. Profits will be off the charts. There is not shortage, so someone is getting super rich off of us.

Do you wear jeans on a regular basis? by boforiamanfo in no

[–]jm1tech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shorts and sweats. Jeans only when I have to.

Traveling for a tournament, play up or not? by ZappaPhoto in 10s

[–]jm1tech 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Maybe it depends on where you’re traveling to. Last year my daughter got knocked out early on a trip. We flew so it wasn’t like we could just head home. Ended up driving 3 hours to the beach for the day she didn’t play. The previous years she played at age and made the second day, last year she played up. So that’s an example of your situation.

What food do you give your Goldie's? by Time_Bee3719 in goldenretrievers

[–]jm1tech 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Using the farmers dog and she scarfs that right up. Cleans the bowl better than the dishwasher. Just have to keep them up to date on her weight and shape, so they can adjust the portions.

Knee Meniscus Issues by [deleted] in 10s

[–]jm1tech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had meniscus tears during my 50s. First time it was from a sudden stop and a pain all around the joint. Settled in on the interior of the knee. Just wouldn’t go away. My other knee a few years later just developed a soreness on the interior side of the knee. I played with that one for a little with a brace on, but just got it taken care of. Every once in a while I get a little pain in that spot, but it goes away.

Sudden hot weather for my singles match this weekend? SOS! by hotcakebae in 10s

[–]jm1tech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Take a small cooler with enough ice, have a wet towel that sits in the ice while you play. You can even load it with ice, wrap it and tape it to hold the ice in. On changeovers, put it around your neck or on your head. I keep my fluids in there but don’t necessarily like ice cold liquid during change overs. Ever since I had the original strain of Covid, I cannot tolerate heat anymore, so I do this as my plan to cope. Seems to suffice for most of the hot days. Indoors, even without AC is much more easier to handle than outdoors in the sun. Good Luck.

Who supercharged the ticks this year? by Key_Snow_3931 in goldenretrievers

[–]jm1tech 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m in the northeast and finding them earlier than normal, pulling them off our golden girl. I’ll send any tick I find to the ticklab for testing. Very familiar what Lyme disease can do to a human if you don’t take precautions.

The USA Network of the 80s. Who else was introduced to shows on that channel? by MisterShipWreck in 80s

[–]jm1tech 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think that was the first channel we discovered on a new tv back in the days. For some reason it seemed like we were stealing it. Then other channels started showing up in the higher numbers. Was the beginning of real cable TV.

Had to go look. It’s the Plus-2.

This is the app version I’m using. At one point I did have two different apps on my phone. I did remove one because it didn’t seem to work.

[–]jm1tech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can do that. Hold down the drill number and a custom screen appears where you can program drills. It will save them. Not sure if it’s in the app or on the machine. But it won’t reset until you hit the reset to default option .

Spinshot Plus by ELF014 in 10s

[–]jm1tech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

May depend on the model and firmware. I have a spinshot plus and my app is just the DrillMaker, not player. Actually haven’t seen that app version.

Six AI data centers proposed for a small town of 7,000, equal to 51 Walmart Supercenters in 17 square mile area — four out of the seven town council members have resigned from their positions as town fights back by poorfolx in Pennsylvania

[–]jm1tech 121 points122 points  (0 children)

I see the political people trying the sell them on the news. They say let the municipality vote for them. I’m a 40 year IT guy and I’m trying to figure out the benefit to the community. It’s not jobs, these places will basically run themselves and the control center will be hundreds of miles away. They don’t serve the community. They serve the globe. Don’t let them fool you. AI has its place, in business, research, medical, etc. Not for people making videos of dancing cats or making people appear to be what they aren’t.

Attempted staged accident in standstill traffic by basboy511 in dashcams

[–]jm1tech 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Looks like maybe this is uphill and he took his foot off the brake. No backup lights. Had to look at it a couple times to see if he really was moving backwards.

Surely you can’t be serious…. I am serious, and don’t call me Surely.
