- Comment on The feds are coming for John Deere over the right to repair: The farm equipment giant has fought against letting farmers repair their own equipment for years 4 weeks ago:
For the most part everything works together, buying non Deere implements and using them with Deere tractors is common. John Deere is a status symbol. Deere also does technology better IMO, that being said I really have no idea what auto-steer tech Case utilizes, they have to have something because no modern farmer is paying attention to their rows that much.

Wasp nest in wall, specialist comes out, sucks them all out, sprays commercial insecticide into wall cavity. Wasps that were out of nest at the time come back and get confused and piss off, couple days later they’re back and have found new unbefore seen holes to fly into, specialist tells me to buy trap and fill with meat. Buy canned ham and dump in trap. All wasps that came back are now in trap. Thanks Ham.

I have Calm (naturalcalm.ca) which is raspberry flavored magnesium citrate. Get it at Costco.

I did and he was completely useless, he prescribed me baclofen which I take like tictacs and they do jack shit. He was out of ideas so I googled it and found out about magnesium. Got some “Calm” which is magnesium citrate and no more insane pain.

I have really severe Charlie horses and started potassium when I heard this, it helped slightly but magnesium is what did the trick for me.

This is why I have a seedbox. A small monthly fee to maintain access to sites that are impossible to join nowadays
- Comment on Now we know how much it costs to make a $2,800 Dior bag 4 months ago:
Post pandemic international shipping rates skyrocketed. Used to be able to order parts from RA and have them shipped to Canada for peanuts. Now the cost savings are eaten by crazy shipping fees, auto parts aren’t light

Grab the rom for whichever Texas Instruments calculator you like best and use one of the various TI8X emulators:

Just google for the rom file you want. I just tried the TI92+ found here:
wowroms.com/en/roms/mame/…/108878.html
Weird calculator, but one of the more common TI models should look just as nice

eWaste. We have a contract to give an outside company all our stuff. We degauss and shred hard drives and everything else does in a big bin that they pickup every month.

- Comment on Can’t stand it when they do that 6 months ago:
I used to know where every single thing I wanted in Walmart was. In and out very fast. Then they put up signs saying they’re remodeling and they moved entire sections, then moved those same sections to completely different parts of the store within a few months, then they put everything behind locked cabinets so I have to wait around for an associate to unlock a cabinet everytime I need shaving cream. Who the fuck is stealing shaving cream. Now I shop on the app and do pickup because who the fuck has time for that shit

Luckily I’ve got a good enough card for Stable Diffusion and I spent a couple weeks scouring civitai for the perfect blend of models and improving my prompt game and when I had the exact “content” I wanted, it never did anything for me. Like at all…

I’m 6’7" I pick everyone up and hug them. They just stand there awkwardly most of the time. I tell them I’m XXY and thus need to hug everyone so my female side is happy.

The stock tires on my ram were great in everything but rain. They were terrible when the ground was wet. They were pretty good in the snow though.
- Comment on You guys need to stop 1 year ago:
I’ve been working nights for a good chunk of my life and I can’t understand why people say this. I prefer to drive at night, maybe if I didn’t live in a big city I might think differently. But, I’ve never had an accident, I rarely sit in traffic, cops generally have bigger shit to deal with at night so I don’t need to worry about speed traps or anything. I can’t think of any downside to night driving

Just picked up a new FireTV 4k Max because I heard it was the perfect device for emulation, and it is. And fairly cheap. I had been running emulators on an older firestick but the new one has much better OTG support and will recognize USB storage without mounting via Adb. RetroArch and many other standalone emulators are available on the Amazon store so you don’t even need to sideload the apps anymore.
Ive tested up to PS2 and barring a few known titles it’ll run pretty much everything. N64 included.
Amazon have stated they plan to drop Android on their sticks in the future, and switch to their own OS which I doubt will support these kinds of uses, so grab one while you can.

I have 3 old Panasonic plasmas, they are the greatest tv’s ever. My wife wants an led smart tv, she will have to pry these tv’s from my cold dead hands. They weigh so much she can’t move them herself

Clearly you’re reading actual books, don’t drop down the webnovel rabbit hole. All those damn stories are designed to scratch an itch you never knew you had until you’re subbed to a dozen patreon’s paying way more than if you’d waited for a book release.
