The most frustrating part is that the witness literally answered his questions. She wasn’t even replying in non-answers like others who try to avoid directly answering a question, and he still kept on accusing her of the opposite. Ultimate grandstanding.

I use eufy as well. The only issue they recently had was that thumbnails were stored in their cloud if you chose to enable them on notifications. If you just select the text option, none of the footage is stored online and everything is local.

Hell, even if you can easily afford way more than that, you are still closer to the person who can only afford $2 of food a day than a billionaire.

There’s only one grocery store in my city that bakes a specific type of bread from my homr country. I make sure to buy 2 packs almost every week so they notice that they are being bought and don’t stop making them.

Spam or sardines are great with egg and fried rice too.

This happened to us, somewhat. We basically found the house ourselves and the process was streamlined enough that the agent barely needed to do anything except schedule dates like inspection, closing, etc. I know they are supposed to protect the buyer and make sure nothing fishy happens, and I’m sure they were doing that in the background (nothing bad happened overall), but boy was it one of the easiest commissions they probably got.

I think someone who has the self determination to go ahead with this expects to not survive. Doing it and unexpectedly surviving and having to live a likely painful rest of your life is different.

I was thinking of getting a keypad, but I’ll definitely have a manual deadbolt along with it because I’m paranoid of it failing, so I’ll likely still be locked out either way.

Edit: I realized a deadbolt has to be locked from the outside, so maybe I won’t be locked out in that case.

Last night, when I was waiting in the car for my wife and we realized after she got in that her bag, where the house keys were, was still inside. She thought I had the bag with me in the car. Had to call a 24/7 locksmith because it was late in the evening.

Choosing a favorite is hard and it changes a lot for me. This time I’ll choose Porcupine Tree and recommend their album In Absentia.

Corporate-speak especially on linkedin from the types of users who use it as an influencer platform. “Synergy” for example.

How much do you pay a month? We pay $50 and they don’t even mow the common areas regularly.

They download apps for all kinds of bullshit because all their friends and people they follow are on there. They won’t install a messaging app if none of the people they interact with are there. It’s not specific to messaging. I was able to convince my immediate family to move to Signal just for our family group chats. It’s not much but it’s a start.

Well technically you can avoid the socialization part (eat-and-run). As long as you can get to the food without having to talk to someone first, you should be good.

Having to wait a day or more to download something. Today you can download a movie in seconds.

My electric bill last month was $14.62. That’s with a $64.51 solar credit. But then I pay a $50 lease on the solar panels. I don’t understand how my utility charges with tiers so I’ll put the details here for people who know better than me:

Tier 1 first 300 kWh at $0.04088 per kWh

Tier 2 next 260 kWh at $0.04643 per kWh

Regulatory Charges 560 kWh at $0.01374 per kWh

Power Supply Adjustment 560 kWh at $0.04598 per kWh

Power Supply Administrative Adjustment 560 kWh at $0.00724 per kWh

• Having hand sanitizer in your everyday bag. I’ve been doing it way before the pandemic and it’s a quick and easy way to disinfect while you’re out and about and not near a restroom to wash your hands.

• Want to get free food a couple of times a month? Just go on eventbrite and meetup and look up free events in your area. If you are in a relatively large city, chances are there are a ton of free events every week where you can just show up and get free food in exchange for a little socializing.

Information Security is so hard to explain to old people who don’t know much about technology. My grandparents back then (late 2000s) never understood it no matter how I explained it, and they thought I was a security guard at the bank I worked at. You could also see the disappointment in their faces thinking how someone who took IT in college ended up as a security guard.

Tilda because you can roll it down from the top of your screen with one key press.
