Someone who shows up frequently in my Twitter feed takes pictures of cars where they've put mud or leaves on the license plate to obscure the characters. Also they scrape paint off, put a Back the Blue sticker on one or two character

I've been hearing that you have to use an app to get reasonable prices at fast food restaurants anymore. Yesterday, I tried the Wendy's app. A Dave's single cheeseburger that listed for $6.49 (in the app) had a special offe

Plumbing's been mentioned as an issue but I think ventilation would be an even bigger problem. The need to bring in fresh air and exhaust the cafe fumes from cooking, even with induction stoves, wasn't something that was probably

Actually, it looks like Authy will show "twitter:username" in the compact list but doesn't show that (just "username") on the icon view unless I'd manually added them. So it wasn't stripping service names

My neighbor the surgeon has one, along with a Porsche Boxster. He seems happy with it but he has a choice of what to drive. For me, it's too big. I'm charging on a 120V circuit as we slowly move to the new house, which has a 24

I used this and it worked very well. Not perfectly. Because Authy doesn't have icons for a lot of services, I stored info as twitter:username, google:username, etc. The script dropped about the service name on about 10 of those, ju

I use iCloud Keychain because I use a Mac, iPad, and iPhone. I use Authy with Face ID protecting the entire app on my phone. I don't use the Desktop app because it won't use Touch ID, meaning I have to type in a long master pass

I've been driving a Chevrolet Bolt EUV since mine was delivered in April, 2023. For the first six weeks, I avoided One-Pedal Driving since I thought it might impair me driving a regular car. I switched to using OPD and I can't im

I bought a Chevrolet Bolt EUV to replace the Honda Odyssey van I had. I'm consistently pleased with how I'm able to fit into parking spaces that other people cannot. 95% of the time it's just me, 4% it's me and my wif

My daughters take FlixBus up from/down to Corvallis (Oregon State) and Eugene (U of Oregon) and the stop is a couple of blocks north of Union Station, as you say. I took a different bus to Eugene, The Point, where you buy tickets from

There are. And you hardly ever see them. On the rare times I was given a modern dollar coin in change, the cashier usually apologized for giving it to me because most Americans don't want them.

Back in the day, I drove manual transmission cars and said that only people with manual transmissions were "drivers", anyone with an automatic was just a "steerer". I now drive a Bolt EUV with one pedal driving, meaning

That's a fun anecdote. I referee high school and youth wrestling and there are several coaches who are paraplegic or quadriplegic because of neck or spinal injuries they got wrestling. I assume there are other injured people who did

In Oregon, there are two metro areas (Portland and Medford) where vehicles must be tested because of air pollution concerns. If you have a pre-2005 vehicle, I'm pretty sure they still use a measuring device to see how many pollutants

I do. I have a Bolt EUV and turn on SuperCruise (hands-off but only on divided freeways) when I can, adaptive cruise control when I can't. The car handles speeding up and slowing down for me based on what the car in front is doing.

I had a similar problem at probably a similar age. Turned out that it was an enlarged prostate. Had surgery and things are much better now. The urologist said he typically saw it with men 10 years older. One bad side effect was that u

I've never heard of armored carp. Googling for it leads to info on Breath of the Wild or Zelda Tears of the Kingdom. Finally, 35 or 45 entries down I found a reference to an armored catfish. https://a-z-animals.com/

It seems like large scale renewables are done by a large outside crew that comes in and gets things going as fast as possible. That might be the only way wind can be done because of the size. But for solar, it seems like there could be a lo

None of the US social media companies are allowed in China. It seems appropriate that a Chinese social media company would not be allowed in the US. Meta and X and Alphabet all would be in favor of that, sure, but that doesn't mean it&

I now "own" that number and can port it out of Google if I wanted to. That was important to me in case they ever decide to shut down Google Voice. I don't see how Google makes money on Google Voice, which makes wary of them

You can pay $20 to Google to own a number. When we disconnected our landline, I replaced it with a Google Voice number connected to our wireless phone setup. It gets very little use now but is nice for automated calls from the school tell
