Yeah sometimes I just block those people. If I wanted AI to answer the question, I would have asked AI. They’re adding no value and wasting my time. People just have to weigh in, even on topics they know nothing about.

I get headaches when I’m dehydrated. In fact, I used to get a lot of headaches, and it was years before I realized the cause was dehydration.

Drink plenty of water, people. Other bad things can happen when you’re dehydrated, none of them good, many of them painful. I’m not one of those people that recommend drinking a given amount of water each day, but if you’re thirsty, you’re already dehydrated. The amount of water you need varies based on your physiology, exercise, weather, food, and probably a dozen other things.

Interesting. After I got the new Debian running, I just updated the source for Jellyfin (and a few other packages) to Trixie, and it updated just fine.

Well I finally upgraded to 13, a few months later. The only issue was the blob file in glances, which I was ready to deal with. Oh and I had to install php-mysql.

I don’t like that you can’t start the Debian upgrade and just walk away. It stops and asks you about configuration files, so you have to babysit it. Other than that, it works well.

Exactly. I’ve seen this exact sentiment several times. “When someone breaks into my home…” They are certain it will happen, it’s just a matter of when.

I’ve stayed in a lot of hotels all around the US (and a few abroad), ranging from 1 to 5 stars. I’ve found that the age of the hotel is the primary factor in the quality of the room.

It seems like they build them nicely, but then never seem to have (or want to spend) the money to maintain them. There are exceptions, certainly, but I’ve seen maintenance issues even in high end hotels.

I thought bandaging the wound would be the first step, stop the bleeding and all that. Not sure how pregnancy would figure into first aid.

I posted elsewhere recently that he’s basically one of the drivers that I find annoying, not maintaining speed, riding in the middle lane at under the speed limit, etc.

Yeah. Maybe I’ll see if I can get the gdt bot working again…

A friend of mine has a Vette. It might be fast, I have no idea - he drives it like he’s afraid to go near the speed limit.

This is pretty cool. I love the crazy idea and that he could execute it well.

I have two Sengled zigbee bulbs (they also sell wifi bulbs, so choose carefully), and they’ve been great. They’re in my outdoor fixtures, so they deal with both freezing and very hot temperatures. They didn’t even have an issue when I changed my zigbee network channel. I’ve had them several years now without any issues at all.

They’re probably the same bulbs as yours, but I just wanted to give people another option.

I looked in one of those to check on our cat, Stitch. Got a scratch to the face for my trouble.

Nibbler had been heckling him, and Stitch was in a severe mood. I didn’t really blame him for lashing out at me, I should’ve known better than to look in like that. The box faces the wall so there was no warning it was me, not Nibbler.

We did it almost every year at my previous job. They had activities for the kids, related to our industry of course.

Yeah. I help mod the Washington Capitals hockey team sub, and recently I looked through every other NHL team’s sub, and we’re the ONLY ones that post game day threads. And even with us, it’s basically only one or two of us commenting on the games. Compare that to dozens or even hundreds of people commenting on every game in every team’s reddit sub.

So now we do care what other countries think?

Oh don’t forget the ultimate in classless gifts: A gold pager from Israel.

Most people bribe with money, but FIFA shrewdly found a cheaper way.

I’m an introvert but I’m fine in parties for hours, usually.

A few years back, we were at a wedding where I had previously met only the bride, while my wife knew a bunch of people. She was off talking to people, and I just drained within two hours. Ended up waiting for her in the hall outside the room.

Yeah, thanks. He’s so skittish that I bet the mechanism would scare him off. :( It really doesn’t take much. Plus we’d need three - he can’t have the food that the other two eat, it’s not approved for young cats.
