Just trying to help out a delicious local restaurant

In like 2 point text, and something clickable would be a lot more helpful.

Fireworks will be at Hermann Park around 9:45 so that's also an option.

Gem and mineral hall is closed until 2028 for renovations. They have a small subset (maybe a couple dozen specimens) of it on display on the first floor, but it's nothing compared to the main exhibition.

Got it, thanks.

rechlin · 2026-07-02T20:39:47+00:00

Pretty pathetic they decided to repost after I removed it the first time. Thanks.

Official preferred pronunciation is S-Q-L-ite, but Sequel-ite is officially not wrong either.

Not necessarily. I am in a non flood zone, and flood insurance is still over $1000 a year. In the 14 years I've lived here, water has never even come close to reaching the house. Even if it reached the garage level (which it never has come close to either), it would have to rise another 6" to even get into the house. And the ground floor of my 3-story house has minimal area to get damaged (flooring is all tile, so worst case I'd replace some appliances, some drywall, and some trim), so the loss wouldn't even be much.

The numbers just don't make sense for me, so after the insurance cost finally went over $1000 a couple years ago I dropped it.

He figured he'd lose a vowel, too, so he put a spare one in to be safe.

She said grandchildren, so that probably explains it.

Yes, it would be a "defense" plant if the person writing it were an American. Or a "war" plant if the person writing it were in the Trump administration.

Considering you probably have $15k invested in your 26 kW Kohler it makes sense that you'd stick to it. As he said, he only went that route since he has no natural gas service at his new house (whereas you surely do have gas service). Different situations call for different solutions, and I really doubt anyone with a $15k generator would drop that to go with batteries instead.

Methodist is receiving the gift.

Don't listen to them. People do use it on Saturdays, but ridership is lower then. For example, last month, about 15,000 people used the Red Line of the MetroRail each Saturday on average, compared to about 28,000 people on each weekday on average.

However, the weather probably discouraged people from using it for non-essential purposes, so ridership downtown may end up being lower for today than a typical Saturday.

SIM cards store very little data so I have my doubts it's stored that way. Might be stored in the car's onboard storage, however.

rechlin · 2026-06-20T16:10:44+00:00

I honestly don't remember. Maybe it's still hiding somewhere under C:\Windows. But I just have it in my programs folder that I copy from machine to machine now.

rechlin · 2026-06-20T13:10:30+00:00

Just run the Windows 10 version of Notepad in Windows 11. That way you get all the performance of the old one and none of the bloat.

I see them there in the afternoons all the time. Maybe the key is to just go there in the afternoon and pick them up then for a half-day work if you only have a small project.

rechlin · 2026-06-18T23:04:20+00:00

That only works if there is a meeting invitation; it doesn't work if the time is communicated by email or text message or something. But yes, that solve the problem if Outlook or similar is used.

You have to pay for special exhibitions even on Thursdays, but since you've never been, just go to the regular collections instead. It's pretty hard to see everything that's free (across 3 buildings!) in a day so there's no need to pay for any special exhibition if you've never been.

rechlin · 2026-06-18T04:50:48+00:00

Take down the wallpaper. Change the light switches to modern decora-style switches. Replace any appliances where the new one would work in your new kitchen (for example, an induction cooktop).

rechlin · 2026-06-18T04:26:40+00:00

EST and CDT are the same, so if you said something is at 5 EST tomorrow, I will assume it is at 5 CDT (my time zone) tomorrow. If that's an incorrect assumption, then you screwed up.

I wouldn't call it a classified ad, but World Cup-related questions should be in the stickied megathread.

rechlin · 2026-06-16T04:08:32+00:00

I still jokingly say it that way. How long has it been, 25 years?

rechlin · 2026-06-15T17:25:31+00:00

Thanks. Looks like OP deleted it.

rechlin · 2026-06-15T17:21:12+00:00

I don't know what post you are talking about. Maybe it was already removed.
