I managed to assemble and mount a 100 inch projector screen up into the wall all by myself. It’s definitely meant for two people to hoist it up there lol. I did some very wonky things to actually get it up onto the wall so I hope it stays up there haha!

I had never heard of this so I had to Google. It seems the advantages you are talking about don’t all necessarily apply if your water heater is outside then, right? I mean, I guess it’ll be a bit more energy efficient, but cooling and dehumidifying effects are only if the water heater is indoors, correct? There is not a system to do any sort of interior cooling for outdoor water heaters, no?

Forgive me if these are stupid questions. I hadn’t heard about this type of water heater before. I live in a hot climate, but my water heater is in an outdoor storage closet.

Yeah this is my only issue with refurb electronics. Imo they are often a fantastic option because people are too scared to purchase something used. BUT the biggest problem is battery degradation. For that reason, I would actually avoid most refurbished phones, laptops, and tablets. That is…unless they are either relatively new release models (within about a year) or if the seller states the battery has been replaced.

Laptop batteries seem to vary wildly in price depending on the model. Some can be very cheap as the people responding to you say, but still others are very expensive like you say. Also, when most people sell a particular battery for $100, if you happen to find a seller from China that sells the same specced battery for only $20, the quality becomes a bit suspect. Battery safety is not something I’d really want to play with too much.

ChatGPT has had absolutely zero impact on my work or personal life. I do not have any useful case for it whatsoever. I have used it for goofs before. That’s about it. I cannot see it as a positive or negative influence…as it has had zero influence. I do get annoyed that every company and their mother is peddling worthless AI shit that most people have no use case for.

Hard Mountain Dew is fucking disgusting. I like regular Mountain Dew, but the alcoholic ones are horrendous. I’m guessing it’s because the alcoholic ones use Diet Mountain Dew which is the worst diet soft dunno on the planet. Dunno why they don’t have a sugar option.

How was it?

Sounds pretty rad!

Happy birthday!!!

What kind of car is it?

What kind of games does your nephew like?

I have a laser projector and screen arriving today. Apparently it takes hours to put together and hang on the wall, so that’s my weekend project. I live alone so we’ll see if I manage to be able to attach it to the wall myself lol. Gotta go out and buy some things for it too like a stud finder.

Might ask if they need help at work for an extra shift. And at some point I want to start Christmas shopping. I am terrible at picking gifts and have no idea what to get people! Problem with shopping for adults instead of kids is that adults usually just buy what they want!!

The problem is that ace people are so incredibly rare that you’re not going to just stumble upon them in the wild. I have similar frustrations as the person you’re responding to. I can never really have that kind of deep relationship with someone because I’m not compatible with 99.99% of people on the planet.

There are dating websites that are asexual focused, but that doesn’t mean they are densely populated. I go back to these now and then and it’s rather frustrating how few people exist on these websites. I have yet to match with someone who will respond to me, is in my desired age range (not 10+ years older or younger), and is within a day’s driving distance from me.

Also make sure the bird is frozen totally solid before slamming it in

Edit: Goddamnit I should have read the other comments first lol. Sorry for the 1000th repeat!

It seems like this would negatively impact the health of the snake. Do we have any scale-less snake experts?

Listen I like Linux, but every day usability with minimal tinkering isn’t there. Apple stuff just works, and there’s merit to that now.

Thank you. I’ve been saying this for so long. People like to act like Linux distros in 2024 are now plug and play without any tinkering. No, they still are absolutely not. Yes, they’ve gotten significantly better over the years…by many leaps and bounds honestly. But that are still absolutely nowhere near the level of making sense for a non-tech person unless you set it up and do the tinkering for them. And no, it still isn’t good for games unless your library is all in Steam. Many of us don’t use Steam for most of our games.

Hope you have fun :)

I don’t think anyone who claims to have GI issues after eating Taco Bell claims that it’s because it’s spicy. Well…aside from OP maybe? I think it’s just because it’s low quality food that consists almost entirely of meet and cheese. That being said, I don’t think I’ve generally had that issue either.

I don’t even think sour candies are necessarily that popular anyway. Chocolate still seems to be the number one candy by far. That being said, people like sour candy because it’s delicious. :)

When it gets cold enough outside, it kind of hurts to breath because the cold air kind of stings the inside of your lungs.

Right?? I don’t understand why every single person nowadays supposedly has autism and ADHD. If everyone has autism and/or ADHD now, then does anyone really have it?

Imo, it doesn’t really make sense to turn what are normal human experiences suddenly into disorders now because it’s trendy. If it significantly impairs functioning to the point of things like failing out of school or the inability to hold down a job, then it makes sense to discuss it. Otherwise, I don’t get why it’s so trendy to pathologize common experiences/traits.
