I was a union HVAC guy for a few years. And one very nice thing was that there were union shops and they went through the union to find employees. So if work dried up at one place the union would take care of getting my unemployment going a

I generally like being alone in my room. My desk, tv, and bed are within 10 feet of each other. And I have never really put anything on my walls. Just white walls, desk, bed, and tv. I have been in a basement for the last 18 months and I ha

Not malice.. I attribute it to DOW futures dropping 400 points within minutes of him saying that. So they backtracked as quickly as possible. But I also don't believe this speech would have happened tonight if it had been a up day on t

These things are just a charcoal pad on the inside of a mesh with very large holes. If sawdust can come in my cough can go out. And I am not saying all masks are dumb. Just this specific one when it is marketed as protection from the curren

I have the same "Coronavirus Protection Mask" in the screenshot and I got it from Amazon a year ago. It barely works for keeping dust out of my nose when I am using the table saw. I feel comfortable saying it will offer zero prote

Processors are pretty good about only using what they need. And compared to my hot water heater and fridge the closet computer sips juice. Shit, I have two 60 watt light bulbs illuminating my porch all night to keep raccoons away from my ga

I got a HP Compaq Elite 8200 with a i5 and 8GB of RAM for 50 bucks on Newegg about a month ago. And shipping was free too. I stuck in a spare ssd and 8TB drive. It is running Ubuntu. Right now it acts as a pi hole, nextcloud server, Channel

I use Mint Mobile here which is a MVNO that uses T-Mobile. I don't get cell reception at my house. But my sister uses AT&T and gets full bars here while my phone is dead. And by dead I mean it doesn't even connect. So maybe we

I get a 20 minute drip of Pembrolizumab every three weeks. I had it done two days ago. 28K per infusion. The cancer has spread since I have been taking it. But I don't know if the cancer is spreading slower with taking it or not. I&#x2

Heroin is very good. I'm having a hard time coming up with something better that could be used for prolonged periods of time as efficiently. Cocaine is great, not as great as heroin and cocaine has some drawbacks (sniff). Like everyone

I had a few friends die from heroin overdoses and that was 25+ years ago. Fentanyl exacerbates the issue but is is easy enough to O.D. without it.

I have been arguing for open borders for 20 years. People say how taxes are too high in California, and the crime, and so on. Go to Texas and it will be better. Maybe I want to go to Peru or Canada. I think that should be easy. Let countrie

Maybe they don't want a bedbug invasion in their warehouse. I bought a cushion for my desk chair from Amazon and it turned out to be garbage so I tried to return it. They said they could only give me a refund if I sent them a picture o

Yeah.. That is pretty much rule #1 when a place takes you in. Don't tell anyone where you are at. I have given about 50 old cell phones I collected to the battered woman's shelter here. Even if they don't have cell service th

My sister has 18 year old twins. They got MacBook Pros as graduation presents. They both got ones with 128GB drives which has turned into massive frustration. But we will ignore that for now. But they both used Chrome. Today I switched them

Whoa. I just installed SingleFileZ for FF and it is working great. Before I was using wget and that was clunky. This is working great since I can just toss a single file up on my server and we are good to go. Thanks for this!
