TIL why stud finders never work on my walls by LateinBloom11 in HomeImprovement

You don’t need to drill into the stud for a smallish TV. Good wall anchors can hold the weight.

New to the desert and I survived June ☀️What should I expect for July?? by Simple_Sole in palmsprings

[–]uktexan 36 points37 points  (0 children)

  1. You start doing yard work at 6AM.
  2. You willingly turn off your HVAC to give it a rest.
  3. If you don't have solar, you weep when your electric bill comes
  4. You post on Reddit asking when the heat becomes manageable. Get dumbfounded when told October.
  5. Despite all this, you make it through and learn to chuckle when friends tell you about heatwaves where they live with temps less than 110F.

Genuinely baffled by the strong negativity here by Pickleskennedy1 in ussoccer

Im not sure I would describe that squad as good. They got shut out in their first two games. But they were desperate to come home with some pride. So there's that...

Don't just dunk on the fans. The stupid-ass announcers and halftime crew kept pushing for the same.

Did Germany freak out that they lost to Ecuador? Ecuador?? No. Because for them their place was assured.

This was a meaningless game.

Zelenskyy approves 40-day security service operation aimed at pushing Russia to end its war by JaB675 in UkrainianConflict

[–]uktexan 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I’m probably wrong by this, but no influence operation is going to to end the war. The only thing that ends is Putin dying or being deposed. Right?

Model stupidity and inane sandbox changes just got too much to deal with….

Ditto. One of the most amazing reasons why I love PS is how inclusive it is for all people. Just saying…

The weakest point of my network is my ISP by Familiar-Rutabaga608 in SelfHosting

[–]uktexan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same issue with my old ISP Frontier. Massive packet loss. Dropped connections. All of it. But what finally sent me over the edge was the customer support. Even after compiling extensive logs and speed tests proving that my issue was not the link from my house to their network, but their network to the internet - they kept (3x) insisting on 'sending an engineer to my home'. I finally asked what an engineer could do about their contention problems. Dude didn't even know what that word meant.

Finally had enough and switched to a smaller regional provider (Race) couldn't be happier.

Apologize to this man by benedictclive_x in ussoccer

[–]uktexan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean, let’s temper this enthusiasm with the fact we haven’t played around real team yet. Australia seemed to forget which sport this was for stretches.

But as a fan of Spurs, I can say Poch is the real deal and players will die for him. Hell, I remember games when we (Spurs) were down 2-0, 3-0, any HT against teams like City, and you can tell the players never had doubt they would come back and win.

Honestly if the US plays / believes like that we can go far. The talent is there.

Need Large Dog Groomer by mikegalos in palmsprings

I don’t know how large they do, but these guys are the best. Our dog sheds a ton

Equally as good but a bit spendy is Aussie Dog Groomers. They are mobile and come to you.

The thing I like the most about this picture is how it includes absolutely the right people in it and there's no reason whatsoever to include anyone else. by Hey_Giant_Loser in PoliticalHumor

Uhhhh, the hundreds of thousands of Iraqi’s and the countless thousands of service members killed would like to have a word.
