  • My kitchen is about 100 sqft wall-to-wall. No dishwasher so no matter what I do, there’s dishes in the sink/counter. EVERY DAMN TIME I try to cook a slightly complicated meal, my fiancée wants to help, the dogs want floor snacks, and the kid suddenly decides they want fridge snacks (they NEVER look in the fridge for food) and to know what’s going on with the smells and noise.

    It’s an exercise in patience to not yell angrily at every living being to get the fuck out (both fiancée and kid have anxiety and ADHD, dogs don’t give a shit about my opinions on their chosen location).




  • Our work tried to push thin clients. It didn’t go well because they did not invest in the back end and infrastructure to do it. Constantly unable to reach the server, often bogged down because three people were running heavy applications where they should have had a dedicated machine, the storage server was sometimes a microwave link away that would nearly die if it was raining.

    I’m usually at three different workstations throughout the day, sometimes there’s even three others that I might end up at, and it was so nice to just connect to my instance and continue, nothing’s worse than opening up an excel you worked on for two hours at a workstation five minutes from your current one and it’s “locked by another user” and you don’t remember what all you might have changed from your last save.

    I do not do any resource intensive work that isn’t on a dedicated machine, so I would be perfect for thin client use. But there were so many little things they didn’t or couldn’t do that built up to it being a useless endeavor.

    From my experience with the machete paper cutters, no matter what you do the pages will shift under the pressure of the blade. I’m sure industrial cutters are far better, but it’s probably far cheaper to use lower precision with wiggle room than super high precision with a little less wiggle room.





  • I don’t have a water shutoff on my property, it’s at the alley so I’m supposed to call the utility to shut it off if I have to do anything. I can turn the hot water off before it goes into the heater, but that’s it.

    On an unrelated note, I’ve fixed all the hot water sides of my sinks, tubs, etc.
