Unless you’re immunocompromised it doesn’t make a difference. “Unhealthy” bacteria is literally everywhere. You have an immune system for a reason.

Make sure you work the valves on toilets, showers, tubs, and faucets as well. They will dry out if you don’t and then you’ll get leaks.

This is an interesting service. The problem I have is that I only check my feeds early in the morning and then late in the day. I don’t read them at all while at work. Weather is also on my watch face a I see it instantly. Love the service for people that it’s needs meet though.

I’ve yet to actually see anything like that on Tahoe. This is most likely just an app that isn’t updated yet. It’s a bad example.
- Comment on Leaker Who Apple Is Suing Says 'Screw It,' Here's the Foldable iPhone Early 2 weeks ago:
The marketing had nothing to do with it not selling. Pick one up, yeah it’s thin but it’s also a bar of soap to hold. Plus a ton of deal breaking trade off like less battery life and poor camera system compared to the alternative iPhone 17s/Pros.
- Comment on Leaker Who Apple Is Suing Says 'Screw It,' Here's the Foldable iPhone Early 2 weeks ago:
There are a few people that Apple would love to delete from the face of the planet.
Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, who’s consistently divulging Apple’s plans, is one. TF International Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who is always sharing information based on his supply chain checks, is high up on the list, too. Apple uses Gurman for controlled leaks to build hype. He hasn’t been sued yet.
But YouTuber Jon Prosser is public enemy number one that Apple is trying to truly silence. And for good reason: the man who Apple sued in July for leaking iOS 26 and Liquid Glass keeps spoiling Apple’s unreleased products with high-quality 3D renders in his videos
Now Prosser, Apple definitely doesn’t use him for leaks since he is being sued. He’s just an idiot.

Add to that we’re constantly being lied to it’s hard to know what the truth is and what isn’t unless you deeply research a topic, and honestly:

It is a good teaching tool for budgeting though, especially with kids or people who never have budgeted (which is most people I’ve worked with, sadly).

Thanks for the detailed explanation. That is what I assumed but it’s clearer now.

This makes a lot more sense than anyone else has explained it. Thanks for being honest about your feelings. It does help.

I was talking to an old timer that went part time and asked him if he thinks it’s gotten harder to manage people and processes. He responded, “oh hell yes. I couldn’t do what you are expected to do.”

I mean, that’s what you said. I’m just providing context that this isn’t so to everyone. Not sure what’s going on with your install.

- Comment on Do you guys know how awesome a printer is that is just working? 1 month ago:
I went with the Creality K1 because it was cheap, people can’t figure out a simple 220V/110V selector and it ships by default at 220V (god Mac.bid is so addictive). Getting an enclosed printer/appliance with 3 screws really turned the hobby into the one I wished it was when I started with the Ender 3 Pro. It prints perfectly every time and fast.

The secret is actually enjoying who you’re with during the day. If you don’t like that then, well there’s your problem.
I have 3 kids and my parents are ageing enough and I’m the only male heir that I’m now taking on the role of head of the family more and more. I also manage a branch at work so I have a lot of responsibility there too. It’s fun once you give in and start enjoying what you’re doing. As with most things mindset is everything.
- Comment on Looking to buy a cheap but best first 3d printer. Ender3 V3, CR-10 SE, or something else? 1 month ago:
I never got the Ender 3 to be consistent. If anything it wasted time, filament, and money because it might finish a print and it might not. Great teaching tool. Awful printer these days.
- Comment on Looking to buy a cheap but best first 3d printer. Ender3 V3, CR-10 SE, or something else? 1 month ago:
The Ender 3 is like an old Jeep Willy’s. Teaches you a ton about how it operated but it does so poorly.
I went from an Ender 3 to a K1. The difference in consistent quality and speed is staggering.
OP, save up your money for an enclosed printer. It makes such a big difference it’s well worth it.

- Comment on Windows 11 Finally Fixes "Update and Shut Down" Functionality After a Decade 2 months ago:
It might be your hardware. I just migrated from a Ryzen 5 laptop (with much better battery life than its Core i5 cousins in the office) to a new Core Ultra laptop and the difference in shutdown time is striking. Mostly because it actually shuts down all the spreadsheets and office BS I have open while the Ryzen one would hang. I normally don’t like Intel chips but this generation seems to be pretty good. Could be RAM too. Old laptop had 24GB, new one has 32GB.
- Comment on Windows 11 Finally Fixes "Update and Shut Down" Functionality After a Decade 2 months ago:
For me it was not being able to keep a homebridge VM from crashing. Threw it on Debian and it hasn’t gone down once. Dual booting for now but I’m moving everything over. The final piece was seeing how fast Debian copies files. It’s instant most of the time. Made me realize that the “nice” speed dialog is literally just show and slowing down the functionality by quite a bit. What a pig.

This right here.
It’s the same reason religions call it faith. Not being able to prove it, is kind of the point.
And no, I have no desire to start a conversation with OP. No offense, I’m just, personally, way beyond this type of philosophy.
