It’s really just a small pinch of salt that comes out

I have a BUG-A-SALT that attached a laser sight on. It can take out a fly from a few feet away. And it makes it fun.

I was in the US Air Force and stationed in England. If someone leaves their ID put we would hide it or freeze it in a block of ice. Your ID also happens to have your social security number on it. One of my coworkers left her ID on the table and when I grabbed it to go hide it, I noticed her social security number was only a couple of numbers off of mine. The first 8 numbers were completely the same.

For those not from the US, our socials are 9 digits long. The first 5 digits of your social security number indicates the part of the country you were born in. The last 4 digits are assigned from 0001-9999.

It turns out we were born in the same hospital 1 day apart, and met halfway across the globe 20 years later.

I’m saving this thread to show to my wife later. She was mortified that I let the cable guy into our house with dirty dishes in the sink. And I’m not talking about an overflowing sink. I’m talking about 2-3 plates and maybe a couple of forks.

I’m only commenting this because you said you’re stuck on Win11 and not defending it, but…

Using winget and Chocolately will make your app installation much better.

Also, to reload your path variable in a PowerShell prompt you can run the following:

$env:Path = [System.Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable("Path","Machine") + ";" + [System.Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable("Path","User")

Again, your gripes are all legitimate, but these might help ease your pain.

I still remember the huge marketing push IBM put into it in the mid-90s. Who would have thought it wouldn’t take off when they never actually showed what it looked like. Just a bunch of people describing it.

I believe there was someone on Shark Tank trying to get funding for an app to let people do that. If I remember correctly he did not get funded.

I would also assume there are some legal obligations with that. Like having to have lifeguards or other safety measures a public pool is required, that a house would not have.

Plus people are gross. I’m sure this would only increase the amount of cleaning I would need to do.

Smart man. My wife convinced me to get it swearing she would take care of it. Apparently her idea of taking care of it was to hire someone for $350 a month. And that price didn’t include the chemicals.

It’s not really that it needs to be fixed up. The chemicals and supplies are outrageously overpriced. Then there always seems to be some major issue every year or two. I’ve lived in the house for 7 years and have had to replace the control board and the pump. I had to replace $2,500 worth of piping after Texas cut my power for 3 days during freezing temperatures. Then last summer it was so hot the ground shifted and it broke two return lines that had to be repaired through the concrete deck. And I know by next year it will be due for resurfacing.

A pool. It came with the house, but damn is it expensive to maintain. I say I’ve never gotten full use out of it because I spend way more time and energy maintaining it, than I do using it.

And the Vandals

They are basically glorified urgent care clinics that can charge you exorbitant sums because they call themselves ERs. Plus like you said they aren’t attached to hospitals, so if something is really wrong they’ll have to transfer you. And bonus for them, they probably own the ambulance that will transfer you, so they can take more of your money.

I’ve worked as a consultant for 15 years, so I’ve worked with a lot of companies. There have been two companies I refused to work for. A payday loan company and one of those places that runs stand alone ERs.

I’ve been listening to punk for 30 years now. I’m so glad politics have never made their way into the scene.

I took a similar path but eventually ended up on openSUSE for my desktop. I’ve been pretty happy with it. I can’t think of a single issue that I wasn’t able to quickly resolve. I even got CUDA installed and working in under an hour.

When I was 6-7 years old my friend’s mom would send us to the corner store to buy her cigarettes. We would use the change to buy candy cigarettes.

One thing no one has mentioned is the brakes. Do not apply the parking brake because it can actually become fused on after a long period of time. The best thing to do is actually remove the wheels and use jack stands. If you don’t do that then use chocks.

Before driving it you will want to bleed the brake lines to remove any air that might have gotten in there, and ensure the brake fluid reservoir is full.

Microsoft in 1995: Let’s put the start button at the lower left. So people can always find it.

Microsoft in 2012: Start button is gone, but you can still click the lower left, like you have been for 17 years.

Microsoft in 2013: Fine have your button back since everyone is so used to clicking on it.

Microsoft in 2021: Let’s make the start button move around every time you open and close anything.

I would say that Lex Luthor is more of a villain who sees himself as the good guy. He thinks he is humanity’s savior from what he perceives as an alien threat. Whether he is evil or not depends on the actions of Superman.
