Corporate America is operating on the Car Dealership model: there are enough rubes to fleece it’s not worth the effort to get quality customers/employees.
I wish these strikes would normalize talking about your salary in the US.
It's such a huge source of power employers have over workers heads. People always say "research what equivalent roles get when negotiating" but the data that's out there is crap. Companies work hard to obfuscate what they pay people.
Yeah -_- if any of the alternatives had been as low VOC as Odie's I probably would have used them instead... But in this case, since it was indoor with kids I didn't really want something fumey.
Agree. The number of people I know who "don't" cook blows my mind. 75% of my repertoire takes less than 30 minutes of involvement to cook. It's cheaper, healthier, and a great zen thing that's totally different from my day job.
For those trying to get started, do a meal kit that involves cooking, and start there. Not having to buy ingredients or plan things out makes it less intimidating.
I live in NM, so there are wild Neomexicanus hops (the Amalia and Multihead are that variety) but they are all up in the mountains. In the city, there are not really any male plants around.
Only issue is local nurseries sell ornamental hops that might be male... But thankfully my neighbors hopyard is all female varieties for home brewing.
I wish Apple was transparent enough to have a real comparison of their privacy.
Personal guess, Apple is generating just as much personal data, just using it less offensively than Google. That's not good but it's betterish, I guess.
Main things I'm stuck using Google for at the moment are Gmail and Maps. Gmail, because my address I've had over there since Gmail was invite only. Maps, because they are one of the only decent sources for restraunt reviews these days (why did Zomato have to kill UrbanSpoon :( )
That's part 2 of this project. We will see, the hand rails are not in great shape. May replace, or paint them. The banisters have more visual impact anyway, and are a significantly nicer wood.
We've been dealing with the smell of citristrip this weekend lol, we can deal with the poly smells. Our house uses evap cooling which provides a ton of options for ducting air away from where the people are.
Where do you buy tech like cables, cases, battery packs, etc? That's one of the main things I end up using them for. I've been trying to cut down on Amazon buying as well.
The other thing I end up buying there is obscure hardware. In some cases they have stuff even McMaster Carr doesn't have.
I use Google news as an aggregator, with subscriptions to sources I particularly like. Through aggregation I can usually get a sense of if something is truly out of step with "mainstream media." trusted sources for me are The Economist, Financial Times, NPR, and to a lesser extent the Atlantic.
Regardless of source though, it's more important to read news articles critically, than it is to have a particular "trusted" source.
Toyota 2UZ-FE. Powerful, torquey, and near indestructible. Also, Toyota had the ah-hah moment to take an engine designed for pickups and heavy duty applications and cram it into the 4Runner.
My favorite pho uses Udon rice noodles, lemongrass spicy broth, and beef brisket... But that's so far from traditional Pho I'm not really sure it counts anymore lol.
I wish he'd release Apollo with a lemmy backend. I know the dev for RedReader is working on it, though his priority is figuring out Reddits new terms for non-revenue accessibility apps at the moment.

Gotcha, good to know! Id worry about the epoxy adhering, but good to know it works.

Sous vide is another meat magic tool, and it's more apartment friendly.
How do you combo it with epoxy? I'm curious.
Tilley FTW.
I live in the desert, they are common even if unfashionable lol.
This.

Hot and dry lol. They have to be irrigated.

No idea. Hand rial is the next project. Either going to sand down finish to match, replace with something new, or paint. Undecided.

Wish that was an option, but whatever dingaling installed this stuff put all kinds of caulk on the bottom edge and then nailed it in...
Somebody committed a series crime against wood with this lol. Just trying to come up with something reasonable.
Why would you go with a stain+poly vs a finishing oil of some sort?

I don't mind Pho, but I won't seek it out.
