Getting the wiring for my stove cost more than the stove. Electricians are expensive!
- Comment on Gas stoves increase nitrogen dioxide exposure above WHO standards – study 5 days ago:
I bought mine at a discount from Craigslist. Costco has them and so does Best Buy. Probably also Sam's club. I hope you can find more than 2 options.
- Comment on Dating apps are as if someone turned the job application experience into a pastime activity 5 days ago:
Interesting.
I was thinking along the lines of eharmony where (I think?) everyone pays to play. I understand the ploy you describe exists and I do want to avoid that shit.
- Comment on Dating apps are as if someone turned the job application experience into a pastime activity 5 days ago:
Probably. Valid point.
- Comment on Dating apps are as if someone turned the job application experience into a pastime activity 5 days ago:
Thanks. I've done it before and you are correct, there are some real assholes out there. I might get better results if I pony up some cash for a site or service.
- Comment on Dating apps are as if someone turned the job application experience into a pastime activity 5 days ago:
I have been thinking about trying online dating again. Not really looking forward to it because I expect it to be a mess.
I think I'll try a very minimalist approach on my profile because most people read profiles looking for reasons to reject. If I don't give many possible reasons to reject then I should increase the pool of people to date. In theory, anyway.

Before this info about how unhealthy gas stoves are came out, I switched to an induction range. I really liked it then and still do now. Highly recommended.

- Comment on Windows 10 reaches 70% market share as Windows 11 keeps declining 1 week ago:
I think a primary use for windoze machines is gaming. I hear that the steam deck has pushed a lot of games into playable states on Linux.
So I hope this makes it much easier to switch from windoze to Linux.

- Comment on Raspberry Pi storybook uses AI to create stories with pictures on its eInk display 1 week ago:
Or tragically wrong.
I would not want a machine with no moral compass whatsoever telling "stories" to a toddler.
Hi, Susie. Have you ever heard of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre? Columbine? BTK?
- Comment on All the data so far is showing inflation isn't going away, and is making things tough on the Fed 1 week ago:
Very puzzling to me that anyone is blaming government spending for inflation. Is that just a corporate scapegoat?

Hi, home! I'm dad.

I thought the group living just above poverty limits were called the working poor. Does United Way think the new "sexy" acronym will get this group more attention?
I've always felt pretty bad for these folks. They're working and struggling. Minimum wage really does need to triple or quadruple.
