  • "get professional help"; the help be like:

    Jump

  • Oh you said pain/hurt/sore/discomfort? Get the fuck out of my office pill-head!

  • Would you pay for online services like search and email if they offered a better experience than Google?

    Jump

  • As long as it's fairly priced with proper privacy, definitely.

    kagi.com is a paid search engine like you describe.

  • Lacking the original hardware, how would you attach this table leg?

    Jump

  • Cheap option: Put wood glue between the leg and those 2 boards and use clamps or a ratchet strap to hold it square utill it dries. Then cut down a piece of 2x4 (or whatever you have) to fit in the corner, and glue that in. Once dried, it should be as sturdy as the original hardware. With the downside of it being a permanent attachment.

  • Stretch marks

    Jump

  • I'll have you know these balls as smooth sa eggs.

  • Why do you personally believe in your religion?

    Jump

  • Either smart men from all over are running the same scam — or there are common bits of wisdom in most religions and there may be something to that.

    Or C: There was an original scam that not so original humans copied over and over through the years.

  • Does anyone else miss traditional forums?

    Jump

  • What is your relationship with price haggling?

    Jump

  • Absolutely despise it. I'm with her. I run a business that is mostly selling my time/expertise. If they don't value that to the extent I do, they can kick rocks.

  • Reuse old security system

    Jump

  • Is the landline just for having a company monitor stuff? Should it still work locally just to like set off an alarm if the door open or motion is detected when the system is active?

    Yeah, it's just for remote monitoring. But if it's not connected, it will probably always show communication errors on the panel above. Sometimes you can get away with using a telephone line emulator like a Magic Jack (sometimes not, it's hit or miss).

    I rented a place that had a slightly newer honeywell/ademco system (that was no longer in use) and was able to get it running locally with a Magic Jack. I programmed my cell as the monitoring company. So if it went off, I would get a call from that # and know it was an alarm. The downside to that was it keep calling over, and over, and over. Making it difficult for you to call the police (found that out the hard way).

  • Reuse old security system

    Jump

  • That looks like an old Ademco system. There will be a main panel somewhere, probably in a closet in a metal box that may or may not be locked. Typically near an outlet with a wall wart power supply.

    Get the model numbers from the main panel and the keypad and you should be able to find manuals that will do into detail about all the possible features. These old units required a wired land line for reporting to work, so you might have to get creative for that.

  • Water cremation

    Jump

  • I guess that's a kind way of saying "turned into stew".

    The result is a quantity of green-brown tinted liquid (containing amino acids, peptides, sugars and salts) and soft, porous white bone remains (calcium phosphate) easily crushed in the hand

  • How do I torrent safely in the US if I can't afford a VPN?

    Jump

  • Use someone else's wifi.

    I used to park my car in a Home Depot parking lot when I went to work with a laptop torrenting until the battery died.

  • Tesla shareholders approve Elon Musk's US$1 trillion pay package

    Jump

  • The board of directors that designed the pay package require him to hit several ambitious financial and operational targets, including increasing the value of the company on the stock market nearly six times its current level.Musk also has to deliver 20 million Tesla electric vehicles to the market over 10 years

    This is just like telling your idiot kid "If you get all A's, we can go to disneyland". It'll shut them up for a while and you know it's a safe bet you won't ever have to pay out.

  • How Google Tracks and Scans Everything on Your Android Device

    Jump

  • now with 50% more shadow rule ☝️

    Jump

  • Yeah that's what I meant. If you take a normal dosage, lights out. If you take a hand full, you're in for a weird time.

    Disclaimer: don't do drugs.

  • now with 50% more shadow rule ☝️

    Jump

  • Only if you don't take enough.

    I miss being an irresponsible adult and plying games under the influence of different drugs.

  • What fediverse/social network concept/feature/UI do you enjoy the most?

    Jump

  • It means people could post highly controversial and objectionable opinions and then just pre-emptively lock the thread, preventing others from engaging with it.

    I guess I think they should be able to do that. If it's detrimental to the community, then that is the mod's job. Also ideally, some type of upvote/downvote system would bury said post after enough people downvoted it.

  • What fediverse/social network concept/feature/UI do you enjoy the most?

    Jump

  • I really think Threads' recently introduced feature that lets you filter or approve replies to your posts is far past due on social media.

    If I make a post on a specific subject, I should be able to block/unallow posts that aren't relevant or might derail the topic, without relying on moderators. It's my post, I should be able to curate it.
