I’ve watched enough Lock Picking Lawyer never to want a consumer ‘smart lock.’

I’m gonna differ on this. The point of a lock is to control law-abiding access to your house. If someone wants in your house, they can attack your windows, doors, or even a wall if the lock is too strong. A smart lock let’s you open the door for a family member remotely, or set one time-access for your in-laws to come over and pickup a tool.

I wouldn’t use a smart lock for something hardened, like a bunker or a vault, but for a house and garage, it’s okay not to have the most bullet proof lock in the world.

I feel like it’s missing that nifty FCC sticker…

Yeah. You can unlock the phone, but it takes some work.

I the thing that upset me the most was that my phone was packed with an amazing array of sensors, and most of them are blocked from the user accessing. I got an app that gives me sensor data output. It really turns your phone from a device into a tool.

I can vouch that the friend of a friend connection works really well.

Married an “older” woman.

No, trump style math would be saying that The number of Trucks Towing has gone DOWN 400% PERCENT after the EVIL AMERICA HATING COMMUNIST Dems elected a soon-to-be-illegal Migrant Gang member as Mayor of New York NYC.

Let me express it to you with some numbers… The US is ~3.81 million square miles in size.

The F150 has sold 8.810 million units in the US in the last 10 years.

There are ~ 2.3 F150s fewer than 10 years old for every square mile in this country.

There is no way the majority of those trucks are going to job sites, or hauling junk, or pulling a trailer, just look around. That’s not even all trucks. Thats just one model, from one brand, for a single 10 yr period.

These trucks are primarily sold as a vanity vehicle, and a minivan alternative, and that’s what I think when I see one.

5 tits, that’s awesome.

This.

Longtime computer “nerd” here. 8 years ago I would have balked about spending more on a cellphone than my gaming PC, but I end up using my phone more hours per day than my desktop so I bit the bullet and bought a nice phone. Now my PC is basically a dedicated entertainment device, and my phone is my go-to for email, chat, music, videos, reading, documents, and even some work.

If I wasn’t an avid gamer, I probably wouldn’t have a desktop or laptop at all right now.

And I will be switching to Linux this year, mainly because of Windows 11 and the general direction the Microsoft is going. I’ve got a laptop to test with and when I have the hang of it, the big battle station is getting switched too.

The airplane didn’t help either.

Put cheap “rum” in it.

I’ve told my partner that if anyone needs my sign-off on any medical decisions, they are to inform the provider that I will be more than happy to do it, but I’m going to punch whomever is requiring it in the face first.

Yeah. Summarizing this, BC has a lot of side effects, but pregnancy has even more.

Frankly, I’m hoping that RISUG makes it to the US. I would get two reversible injections in the crotch to basically prevent pregnancy with zero side effects.

Pretty sure you can do that for home as well, just as long as you aren’t in S mode.

Otherwise, admin console and clear the file permissions.

All that being said, for your average user, if you are trying to delete a file and windows says you don’t have permission, it’s probably best to leave it alone.

Ohio is mostly corn and “Hell is real” billboards.

Whichever 21 Pilots “song” was played most recently in my vicinity.

I think on a purely technical note, Air Conditioning goes beyond just cooling the air and involves reduction of humidity. Personally, I wouldn’t consider it AC because you’d have to keep refilling the evaporator resivor, instead of just powering the device, but that is a nitpicky item that isn’t technically a requirement.

Only if you use a better working fluid and add compression and expansion steps, but a long pipe in a ditch filled with water isn’t what I would call AC quite yet.

Painting your house a lighter color. Can’t say how effective but makes sense intuitively.

Probably makes a big difference. I just measured my patio, grass and driveway temps today with an infrared themometer. Grass was 109, patio was 123, and the blacktop was a whopping 148. My wife has been talking about using a cream or neutral gray finish on the driveway, and a 20 degree difference is definitely worth it.

Thats basically how earthships are cooled. You can also run the pipe through an evaporative cooler to cool the air even more.
