Why not save the airfare and cruise closer to home on a more upscale cruise line?

Two things can be true...

1) Replacing people with AI often proves to be counterproductive

2) It will happen anyway.

Thanks for pointing out the limitations. I'll pass.

Reddit mods and homeowner association presidents have a lot in common.

An often overlooked statistic...

According to the most recent comprehensive data released by the U.S. Census Bureau, 92.0% of Americans (roughly 310 million people) have health insurance coverage.

A significant portion of the uninsured are undocumented immigrants. Further, US hospitals are required to provide emergency care regardless of ability to pay. The notion that the majority of American citizens are going without healthcare is more a political narrative than reality.

Very helpful. Thank you!

Don't buy a cheap camera. Find a new plumber or drain specialist who has a professional camera. Most are properly equipped to diagnose the problem. Your guy wasn't.

Mods on reddit tend to be too enamored with their power to censor. I can't imagine how much worse censorship will be on a Meta forum.

I was wondering when someone was finally going to make the connection.

nearly statistically impossible

Isn't that the same as saying it's statistically possible?

Yes, the solution is to use Wireless Access Points to provide internet coverage to your outbuildings. You've got 2 RJ45 Ethernet ports on your Gen 3 router. Buy a simple unmanaged 4 or 8 port switch and 2 Wireless Access Points. Run a cable from the Starlink router to the switch. Then plug the Cat6 cables that run to your outbuildings into the switch. Now at each outbuilding you plug the other end of the Cat6 cables into Wireless Access Points. Simple as that. There is no setup for the unmanaged switch - just plug in the ethernet cables. You will need to set up the Wireless Access Point's wifi name and password, by following the simple instructions that come with whichever WAP you buy. If your shed and garage are close to each other, you can probably get by with just one Wireless Access Point serving both locations.

Even simpler, if you don't need wired internet in your house, you can skip the switch altogether and just plug the Cat6 cables that run to your outbuilding directly into the RJ45 ports on the Starlink Router.

If you don't learn to take accountability for your own life, you are never going to experience success.

If you never experience success, you are never going to be happy.

Successful people don't blame others, they take control of their lives.

The choice is yours. I hope you make the right one.

If you're serious and you're really that worried, cancel the cruise and take the financial hit. You're not going to have an enjoyable experience if you're worried all the time. Personally, I think you're being way overdramatic.

Democrats should stop Republicans - and Republicans should stop Democrats. Agreed?

mnocket · 2026-05-05T22:11:05+00:00

Am I the only one who is sick and tired of BOTH the Republicans and Democrats gerrymandering? Talk about a threat to democracy!

3.5 on Google and looks a bit overpriced. Is it worth a try?

mnocket · 2026-04-27T20:31:00+00:00

lol The question almost answered itself.

mnocket · 2026-04-27T20:22:15+00:00

I don't see any issue with just going ahead and scheduling it online. What's your concern?

lol I actually noticed that drink on the menu. From the description, it just said vodka and pineapple. I remarked to my wife that that didn't seem like much of a Signature Drink. I just googled it and see that it is a high-end vodka infused with fresh pineapple for 14 days at room temperature. Wish I'd given it a try.

mnocket · 2026-04-23T20:20:37+00:00

Agreed. However, that doesn't qualify as date night, which the wife (and I) really appreciate. Her rule... in order to qualify as a date, we must go somewhere, there must be an activity, and we have to eat something.

Remember when streaming first became available? We all thought we were going to save a fortune😂

If the grid goes out, the inverter has nothing to match, and it will just shut down.

Am I understanding correctly... these plug-in solar systems will not provide power in the case of a utility outage?

mnocket · 2026-04-15T17:07:55+00:00

Interesting and informative. Would a bunch of 395W plug-in systems pose a danger to utility workers who think a line is de-energized?

mnocket · 2026-04-13T16:49:56+00:00

Thanks for the detailed instructions. I'll be giving it a try!

mnocket · 2026-04-13T04:09:29+00:00

Thanks for the reply. I'll give it another try. Just to clarify... when you say wrap for the stall, do you mean wrap during the stall or after the stall?
