American here. I really wish we’d switched to metric back when we tried in the 70s, when I was a kid.

Someday we will, I hope. Probably not in my lifetime, though.

Kids be like that.

You know what costs even more? Burning fossil fuels. I suspect this little bar graph doesn’t take into account those costs.

There’s your problem.

It’s been a puzzle forever, not just 200 years.

My name on here rhymes with my old account name on Reddit.

Usually, I just pull something out of my ass with the idea of it being hopefully unique. I don’t think at all about the potential deeper meaning it might present.

I used the very first username I came up with for AOL for many, many other accounts, including a gmail account. I used to make accounts for every new platform that came along so I could own that name. It’s unique to this day, and includes no numbers or “special characters”. I can search that name and find old posts and comments I made when I wore a younger man’s clothes. I don’t use that name anymore, but I passed it on to my son in the Steam account I gave him over ten years ago.

Did you use the old mounting hardware to mount the new motor? Maybe a too-long screw?

That’s my only guess, I’m not very good at this stuff.

Did you use pin nails to hold the back/bottom on? I assume it’s at least glued. Or, is that the “sketchy” part?

Cool beans. Waiting for the announcement in six months that they’re shutting it down.

I haven’t been out to eat since the pandemic. I got used to cooking my own meals. The prices have gotten ridiculous for what you get, and the service sucks. They can all go out of business for all I care.

I used Plex about 12 years ago. The first time my internet went down, and I couldn’t use it, I stopped using it. Garbage. Not what I wanted.

I used Windows Media Center as long as I could, I loved it. But, eventually, I had to leave Windows 8 behind. Now I use Jellyfin and SABnzbd, it works okay most of the time, but I don’t serve media to the outside, so I don’t know if it works for that.

In 2012 (ish), I bought a lifetime subscription for a flat $75. Over the next few years of using it, they got worse and worse with shit like this, so I switched to Emby for a bit, and then Jellyfin. I never shared with friends, tho, because I have no friends, so it was always just a pretty interface and convenience for me. Lately, I’ve just been opening the files directly in VLC, because Remmina is refusing to connect to my media server, and I can’t be arsed to figure out why.
