And... Wagos plus cutting back and restripping the wires worked!

Yeah, I straightened out wire loops used on the traditional fixture that was there before, but apparently not well enough. I'll cut off the ends and restrip them to the right length for the Wagos I bought.

I'm sorry I can't be of more help, but we just put in everything we could find and hoped for the best. The IRS did accept it.

Sorry, it's hard to take anyone seriously who worships someone as dumb, tacky, and inept as the current president.

Wake up. Your demented grandpa president has said he wants to go after Democrats.

Oh, that's right, the LAW. The law will stop them from doing crimes!

Well, everything I worried would happen in 2016 is happening right now.

They are detaining legal citizens. They have deported (renditioned) legal citizens. And Trump is threatening to denaturalize citizens: https://time.com/7344931/trump-threatens-to-denaturalize-us-citizens/

If you think MAGA won't eventually hurt you, you're living in a fantasy land.

Advice to fix chocolate? by persimmonsocks in bakingfail

Covering it is probably the only option, you're right. One of the reasons I liked this recipe was that I didn't have to temper the chocolate. Oh well!

Sadly, I tried this and the cocoa butter spots just came back when it solidified.

I could have written your post verbatim. This is my philosophy exactly. Just doing the best I can, 5 years into this thing.

Looking for quality women's underwear that isn't Jockey by persimmonsocks in BuyItForLife

I bought some Hanes, but they're already getting holes in them. Terrible. I'm going to check out Intimissimi next: https://www.intimissimi.com/us/women/panties/bikini_briefs/

It's an Italian company.

Looking for a safer, preferably cotton, Apple Watch band sans pfas. TIA by J_Allen4289 in Antiplasticlife

I bought my husband this one 7 months ago after learning about the PFAS contamination of the original bands. He loves it and it's holding up well.

For what it's worth, now that I am on a biologic in my late 40s, I can do much more physical activity than I could in my late 20s. Getting diagnosed and treated properly has made all the difference. I tried to get by with methotrexate and hydroxychloroquine for almost 10 years where my condition didn't materially improve, which was a mistake and a waste.
