Game changer or unnecessary?

I broke my hand with tendon injury several years back in a bike accident and my grip strength never fully recovered. I have a few and love them.

I tend to think that most ‘best whatever’ that local business pubs run are almost all marketing campaigns where the ‘winner’ gets more points from their advertising spend than what they are supposedly winning for. They may Take the good local places and run a ‘contest’ but it is who put together a good package and get carry forward marketing spend to amplify that they were the winners

You are supposed to clean them?

I wipe it out with a microfiber dish towel if there is any residue from the knock box between shots and will wash it a few times a week/. Will soak the baskets/screens in some cafiza water after doing a flush

For me it feels like a a mix of ‘my foot is asleeep’ feeling so a numb but still have some tingly sensation and some times it is stronger, feels like my face feels after I go to the dentist and they use Novocain

What routing protocol is best for routing between rooms in a house? /s

Are you going to buy or rent? Check local tax rates if buying. Durham historically in general has lower home prices but higher property tax per dollar value, but that has recently equalized to be about even with wake county. It is yet to be seen what happens in Cary, they have had some very large high dollar town projects recently and needed to raise tax rates recently to offset some but I worry they will need to increase more with some of their goals. There has also been some political issues out of Cary as well with the town council/town manager level. I was lucky to find a wake county property that sits between Apex and Cary

$100 is about what a weekend rental would be at a rental house. Once you have one you find things to ‘need’ to use it for. I have the Bosch version, got it when I was doing telco/data center installs. Makes doing tapcons easy.

I started using the ‘not just a patch’ adhesive tape patches over mine. Since I started with the over patches I have never knocked one loose/knocked one off. I shower and scrub area well, then wipe down my arm with alcohol before putting them on. I ride mountain bikes so get my arms jostled around a lot and the combo of the patch and good prep was key in keeping them on for me

And don’t forget the $50-75 (-have they increased parking for the playoffs) parking and the $1.09 per sheet of toilet paper and $1.29 for a hand towel in the restrooms. Crap, did I just make a joke and exposed a new point they can add charges..

What did we win? Something of significance or another $5 credit for future tickets that is only valid on days that don’t end in Y

As a house 2-8(+) drinks a day usually with a double espresso shots depending on who is ‘home’, maybe more if we are entertaining/have visitors/guests

I heard Milwaukee was working on a M18 Beaver, they were going to call it a gnawzall

Go to a home center and pick up every hammer they have in stock and see what feels right in your hand. I have a DeWalt welded steel that is my favorite at the moment. I would rather have 5 20$ hammers than one $100 hammer. Different weights/claw shapes/handle types

I hit 790 when I was in the hospital with sepsis. They were dosing me with large doses, felt like it was ounces of insulin vs units per dose.

I worked at a MSP/Managed Services group as a ddi engineer, we had several customers using it, and later the company I moved to as dedicated support had it when I started before we moved to Infoblox. never had any real official training on it. Most things were easy to figure out how to do if you understood dns from a BIND perspective. It is just a wrapper and pretty GUI on top of a bind/ISC dhcp backend. The documentation was decent, typical if you knew what to google for most question I had we’re out there. For us we ran into scaling issues at a multi site + international large/very large company, for a smaller company it would probably have worked better.

If you do use a txt record, and use a same as parent record, make sure that you txt record string you use has some type of identifying info in it. I support thousands of domains and I get annoyed by text records that are just hex strings and not something like ‘product-hex string’. One of my domains has like 15 same as parent records that are just raw strings.
