  • We aren't going to make it, are we? People I mean.

  • Food Lion is a place that, 30 or so years ago, would bleach meat that was past the due date and put it out with a new due date. No source, word of mouth from folks who were employees at the time to me at the time. For whatever that is worth. They have had a different owner for many years now but this is pretty weird to me.

  • Limewire helps release the 60 Minutes episode, “Inside CECOT,” that featured US deportees who were tortured or suffered physical or sexual abuse at a notorious Salvadoran prison

  • This is crazy. Did they not attempt to interview administration officials? That's bad. If they did attempt to, they could say they refused to respond. But all we have is this piece of garbage explanation. That's bad.

  • Just seeing this album cover takes me back to my dad's Marantz and big giant headphones.

  • Looking for garage heater, US, 240v, 5000w

    Jump

  • Not sure how much this will help you, but my house is heated by electric wall heaters like this with unit-mounted thermostats. I recently installed a real thermostat for the one in the main room, by using this relay that I wired with a three wire 24 volt off the shelf loom like this that I bought by the foot from the closest to me store. You could use a smart thermostat unlike me. I used this site for help but mine is 120v. That link, tho, is for a 240v and may be more helpful.

    Importantly, I have a background in electric (DC) and access to folks with household electric.

    Anyway, what you want isn't hard and can be done safely and easily. But if you are not an electrician, it is best to us a contractor. My heat is on a dedicated circuit, yours should be, too.

    Best wishes and be warm!

  • I was hitchhiking once in New Mexico USA and was picked up by these two very old guys, one white and one black. Because they picked up a hitchhiker, the white guy said that the black guy was the first black sheriff of Torrance county. I'd like to think he had this kind of style. At the time, those two guys were like Laverne and Shirley, but picturing Don as this guy here is pretty awesome!

  • Grocery store in Harlem, New York, USA, 1940

    Jump

  • I have seen this photo in the past, and it showed the store front how it looked at the then current time. It definitely looked different, but was still there as something. I wish I remembered more details.

    Also, given the place and the presumed proprietor, this makes me think of the movie Harlem Nights, which is great! Older now, featuring a number of Black actors who aren't around now. Three generations of comedians!

  • I didn't realize until I read your linked article that wireless charging is essentially induction. Contactless. I have never had one of these devices. Now I want modern earbuds even less. Thanks for sharing that article!

  • I'm not sure how to feel about this, either, haha. But both my sister and I are 40+ and she has not had a computer for at least 10 years. Smartphone only.

  • As a person who has taught others (mostly high school students) how to shit while backpacking, this is missing some of the fun (unrealistic) positions,like hanging from a branch. Or the buddy dump.

  • Haha I'm a townie, I don't get out on long rides much and the last few bikes I owned have had fenders. But I did have clipless pedals in the past and cared more then 🙂 maybe I should get out on longer rides more 🤔

  • I read the disqus comments and still am not sure I get what is going on here. I thought maybe it had something to do with that nursery rhyme, but that doesn't seem to work. The one explanation in the comments seems to require more intimate knowledge of another comic, which I do not 🤷‍♂️

    Anyway, it seems if these two could combine houses, they would each have a better overall quality of shoe!

  • Linux traffic has grown 22.4% in PH this year

  • You're a little off on our ages, but your point still stands 🙂 What is behind that statement is me seeing him talk about these things for so long. He was messing with OS/2 and some Linux stuff before Windows came out, but completely quit after about 1993. He would, however, talk about it.

    He was the first of us to get a smartphone (Apple) and did a lot of tinkering with it then, but quit. I personally have been using Linux OSes for 20 years and even gave an old desktop of mine to fiddle with 10 years ago, which he loved!

    He wants to do this stuff but has trouble starting his own projects. He has spent time with my phone, my computers, etc. If I lived closer this would be a great way to spend time together since we don't have a whole lot in common.

    The reality is he is the nerdy kid who learned programming on punch cards and switched to that field in the 60s as soon as he learned what a computer was. He has always wanted to do "gadgety" things. He does have some dispensable income. I have enjoyed hearing him talk about this new nettop and the shenanigans he gets into with it! So much better than discussing the weather.
