- Comment on What are the bussiness practices that should stop? 1 day ago:
The only way to find a business is by searching for it and by word-of-mouth. The only results are a short, generic description of the product or service offered and recent, unadulterated user reviews. Signs are limited to text of the business name only, just for finding the exact building and door, and can only be on the business property.
That’s it.

It’s clearly for knitting buoys.
- Comment on Royal row intensifies after fresh claims in Diana's brother book 1 week ago:
Oh boy. This doesn’t fit the narrative at all.
But, I completely believe it.
- Comment on How "secure" is your setup? 1 week ago:
I don’t have anyone to share it with, so it’s not open.
- Comment on Ubuntu pulls 24.04.5 downloads due to installer bug - OMG! Ubuntu 2 weeks ago:
I’m glad I paid attention and rejected Ubuntu for Mint back when I was deciding.
- Comment on Linux Mint reveals new calendar and ebook reader apps 2 weeks ago:
Cool. I didn’t know about Library/Thingy. That looks useful. Although, the Library I have seems to be part of LibreOffice.
I think I’m using a calendar addon of some sort, I don’t remember, but I can add reminders, etc. It will be nice to have one that integrates with online services for some people I suppose, but I don’t do that.
Unless the ebook reader can also read other document types, I’ll be sticking with Calibre.
- Comment on ‘Star Trek’ at 60: ‘Strange New Worlds’ Co-Creator Akiva Goldsman on Why It Keeps Boldly Going 2 weeks ago:
I’m the same age as the show, I’ve been watching since the beginning. Saw The Motion Picture in the theater.
I’m having a hard time with SNW. I didn’t even try to watch Academy. I thought maybe it left me behind, that I’m too old to get it. But, if his kids aren’t watching, then who is?
- Comment on NYC expected to release 170,000 pages showing officials knew air quality after 9/11 was unsafe 2 weeks ago:
25 years later. After most of the people who had standing to sue are dead.

A labrador, you say?
- Comment on QBittorrent breaks out of sandbox to commit crimes 2 weeks ago:
It’s just a copy. The original still exists somewhere. That’s not stealing.
Reverse Sony logic.
- Comment on Scientists Find Parasites in Almost Every Fish From a Recent Tuna Haul – 96% Wer 3 weeks ago:
If I liked seafood, I’d be making excuses for why it’s okay for me to eat seafood.
Glad I don’t like seafood.
- Comment on New Mexico's electricity prices are some of the lowest in the country solar is to thank 3 weeks ago:
Every summer, like clockwork, Nextdoor has several people surprised that their electricity bill is “so high”. They never say how much they’re using, just that “it doubled since last month!”. Some people don’t seem to understand that the air conditioner set to 70F uses a lot of electricity, when it’s 105F outside.
Every damn summer.

Well, with dial-up that could be 10 minutes.
You’d still beat me by 50 minutes, though.

We don’t need to recreate every aspect.

I can draw.

Tip: You can fill it with expanding foam right before you install it. That way it won’t blow off.
- Comment on The act was significant for giving women the vote for the first time. But that’s not all it did 4 weeks ago:
I only recently noticed how much alike the two women look.
Traditionally, the message would be that the man wants what he doesn’t have, in a physical sense. I think it stings more when the girlfriend realizes it’s not her body he has a problem with.
- Comment on Whether or not it was a better fighter than the Spitfire is a matter of debate 4 weeks ago:
P-38 was the best looking fighter, though.
- Comment on Pluto my Beloved 4 weeks ago:
Of all things that don’t matter, whether Pluto is a planet matters the least. It’s completely irrelevant.
But, also:

Bond. James Bond.
- Comment on A solar powered website that goes offline when there's no power 5 weeks ago:
Of course, it depends on the website. I’d be unhappy if my banking site went down for more than a day.
ihavenotv.com could go down for weeks, and I wouldn’t fret it.
- Comment on ribbed plastic anchor in brick not holding -- what screw diameter do I need? 1 month ago:
I think you drilled too large a hole. I always need to tap the anchors in, they don’t spin freely. No instructions on the package?
- Comment on Height-adjustable bar stools slowly sink when I sit on them - gas lift/cylinder problem? 1 month ago:
You’ll need to extend it to its full height, pull it apart and measure the gas spring, then replace it. Don’t try to repair the gas spring.
- Comment on Any tips on plastic adhesives? Trying to repair headphones 1 month ago:
Whatever you do, don’t break that wire, it’s nearly impossible to DIY repair.
- Comment on What to do with a surplus of fresh veggies? 1 month ago:
You could freeze them yourself. There’s no nutritional difference between fresh and frozen. You can find tips online for freezing onions. Cucumbers have too much water, they don’t freeze well and become mush when thawed, but neither are they very nutritious, so no real loss if you can’t finish them.
- Comment on White House plan for a ‘golden age’ of science ignores the structures that made the US a scientific superpower 1 month ago:
This is like leaving the dogs in the kitchen to make Christmas dinner.

I don’t even look at the date.
