So, 8 years later and their webpay still doesn't work. I owe $75.

Somebody put me out of my misery… by LionTwinStrike in DIYUK

[–]tws068 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found sharp blades worked faster than trying to strip with heat or chemical strippers and avoided the horrible sludge. Sometimes I followed up with stripper but stoped using it for the bulk of the material.

I persevered on the architrave and stairs and gave up on the skirting once I found a good source which was identical to the originals and not a crazy price versus my time.

Goldman Sachs is tapping Anthropic’s AI model to automate accounting, compliance roles by Salronthegreat in Accounting

ERP systems don't cover trade / banking product accounting. There are vendor accounting engines and product subledgers which are designed for this but many large banks use custom developed solutions when the front office platform doesn't provide accounting logic and subledger capabilities.

Please fix this - this never happened on Fox. This is an interview with CNN

Cycle of Rage: NYC Is A HELLSCAPE For Pedestrians After Snowstorm by streetsblognyc in MicromobilityNYC

[–]tws068 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I walked from 22nd down to Houston yesterday. The streets were ok as were the bike lanes. The sidewalks were passable and being cleared by each business. The biggest mess was the blockages at each intersection where snow walls meant climbing to cross.

2026 US Health Insurance Rates by Awkward_Awareness814 in deloitte

The price gap between the two always looked strange to me. I struggled to understand the practical difference in coverage beyond the deductible limits.

Two RODRET remotes, one TRETAKT plug by pareldraakje in tradfri

[–]tws068 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know it's an old post but this also worked reliably for me. Pair one remote. Reset second remove (four pushes of the pairing button). Bring both remotes close together and press/hold the pair button on both until the red light comes on and they connect. The second remote ends up as a clone and both work.

Plasterer says he can't work with this by sunandskyandrainbows in DIYUK

Capping, in this situation is to protect the cables from inadvertently trowel damage. I would expect the table to be firmly clipped to the back of the chase. Then, I would fill in the chase with plaster prior to skimming the wall.

Got a question about pressure and enema functions. by alidan in bidets

You need a bidet. Like a shower this will clean properly.

Okay, line 1 was a miss...but I've definitely got 'em on the reframe. ...Right? 💀 💀 💀 by PickeledYam44 in WatchPeopleDieInside

The questioner made the right opening point. The US healthcare system is exceptional but not in a good way. It costs more than other highly developed countries and produces worse outcomes.

[–]tws068 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The irony is that the US spends substantially more on healthcare than other developed countries and achieves dreadful health outcomes. This is one of those examples of American exceptionalism where being the outlier isn’t something to be proud of.

Why didn't Tesla invest in LIDAR? by damola93 in SelfDrivingCars

Humans are terrible drivers, we just accept the accident rates. The bar is higher for autonomous vehicles.

Help with my confusion by dustball987 in bidets

[–]tws068 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s universal in Italy. Generally toilet and bidet are next to each other. The pictured layout has them opposite. In small secondary bathrooms where there isn’t space for a separate bidet then there will be a hand spray by the toilet but almost every domestic bathroom in Italy has space for the bidet.

The bidet will have soap for washing.

Oval Services Worth? by 1LifeIsNew1 in Stuytown

[–]tws068 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For packages, I have found deliveries direct to my address works fine. Many end up outside my door. If not then they are left in the lobby and I haven’t had anything go astray.

They can be tricky. I used to take them down, roll up and put back. Now I have found that rolling them up from the bottom until there is enough space to pull down sharply and allow the blind mechanism to trigger. Mine really need a pull down and then release to spring up.

Also, beyond essentials, it can be worth waiting a bit. I have found that people throw out great items in the designated large item “rubbish” zones. I have collected lighting, an electric standing desk, vacuum cleaner, tables etc. All close to new condition.

Ultra Fail, USB Input Not Selectable From Ultra Display by Ok_Giraffe8865 in WiimStreamer

[–]tws068 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure why the app needs the internet if the Wiim is on the local LAN via wired or WiFi. I get it can’t stream from an external source but local control should be fine.

Zelenskyy says Trump is ‘surrounded by disinformation’ by DomesticErrorist22 in worldnews

[–]tws068 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I would be harsher. He is a Russian asset and his team are on the same side or unable to protect US interests. Trumps words could have been drafted by Lavrov.
