Would you prefer they go back to mandating that you use Internet explorer?

Progress is slow little steps forward, with a step back here and there.

Chrome was better that ie. It was also available for use on all of the big operating systems.

The fewer Internet browsers a page has to support the faster it is to build and the more people will have a uniform experience there.

Air drying gives me crisp clothes. Using a dryer with fabric softener gives me nice and soft clothes.

I want soft clothing. So I use the dryer.

And you may ask yourself “Well, how did I get here?”

They then uploaded the videos to parlor which had no security on their API, so anyone with the address could download every video.

Do you just pack coffee into where the pod goes?

In my mind I’m imagining you filling the pod hole like one would for espresso. Every run, dig some out, but pack more coffee in.

In a previous life, I did loss prevention. The average shrink rate in retail in the USA is 2%. That means 2% of the merchandise leaves the store without being paid for.

An average Walmart does millions in sales each day. Conservatively 2% of one million is $20,000.

Thousands of dollars of unpaid merchandise leaves a big retailer every single day. It’s part of the cost of doing business. That’s also why online retailers are cheaper. They don’t have to deal with external theft. They still have internal theft.

Shrink is the industry term. It’s merchandise that isn’t paid for and isn’t there when inventory happens. Theft is most of it, both by customers (external) and employees (internal). It’s also things that aren’t rang up right at the register, damaged merchandise that isn’t removed from the system correctly. It’s a big umbrella term.

Fair enough. Those don’t exist anywhere near me. IMO blue = Walmart

You’re in a Walmart.

They claim to be cheaper so they can have that drabby distopian look.

In the good parts of town, they look nicer. In the poor parts of town they’re legit worse than that.

Fwiw, I’ll pay the extra dollar per shopping cart for the superior look of a target. Target is generally cleaner and crisper looking. As always there are exceptions to that rule.

Yes, my friend did several of those in the early 90s. He mailed many dollars. Never did he get a dollar.

And here we have why I have not connected my smart dishwasher to the Internet. Those 2 extra wash cycles don’t seem worth it. Especially considering I only ever use the most powerful sounding wash cycle.

how do you prioritize your home projects when under budget constraints and they are of equal importance or unimportance?

I’m a fan of lists for this type of thing. Include how many hours of work and cost today and the costs and time if you skip it for a couple years. As in peeling exterior paint is cheap today, but if not addressed, you’re replacing boards for much more time and cost.

how do you deal with the overwhelm/frustrations of previous owner issues or poor workmanship?

They were trying their best to keep it in decent shape. Just as you will do the same.

their pets urinated in every room with carpet

There is a product called “Nature’s Miracle”. It has an enzyme that removes urine smell from carpet. It’s sold at pet stores or online. Get the gallon size to start.

A lot of things in life are perpetual changing.

Some day the pendulum will swing back to pro intellectual. Once people comprehend the damage the just like me leadership has done.

Switches not bulbs

Yep, having just moved and trying to setup the new/same network in the new house. Most of the new house is already fully led or had many bulbs on one circuit. Thus I need switches.

Other thing, save the instructions. I bought a new hub for the new house. Getting stuff to pair with the new hub was a disaster and I’m still using the old hub. Unpairing instructions would have helped a lot.

How is it that there is not an app that is a container and you can run apps in that container and anything running in that container can’t access any data outside if the container.

Maybe even the container mocks up data to make your profile look complete.
