Yeah, I always glove up when I clean out the p-traps under the sinks. The smell is the worst part.

All of it, like alopecia? Or male pattern baldness? Or none my damn bidness?

That one is my backup if the one I got doesn't work! Thanks for the recommendation.

 

I feel like an idiot for not knowing about these.

Every 2-3 months I have to snake out our shower drain with a 25' snake. Giant PITA.

After some web searches, I stumbled across these hair trap devices. They come in both external and internal configurations. Many different types to choose from.

I purchased an internal one, installed it, and am going to give it a try. In theory I can just pop it out and clean it instead of snaking the pipes. Folks tell me they work well. If this one doesn't work I'll try another type. They are fairly inexpensive.

Didn't Nestle want to do this with water?

Became an atheist and quit going to church. After decades of being very involved in church. My experience wasn't nearly as difficult or traumatic as it is for many who go through this. But it still sucked. I pissed off some friends and family members. And some folks I really liked froze me out, which is not fun. Atheist friends were supportive, which was a big help.

They should give lite.cnn.com a try.

No, because his popularity with the cult of fools is primarily based on two things: 1. talking at a third grade level and 2. fear mongering about black and brown people.

I suppose you could add "appearing to be rich and successful" and some other ingredients in there. But I think the 2 mentioned are his biggest power sources by far.

A skeptic will seek more information. A cynic will just shit on it first and maybe (probably not) ask questions later.

I understand the appeal of physical books. And in some ways, they are a better experience. It's just mildly annoying how predictable it is. I pretty much avoid talking about my e-reader at this point. I'd rather talk about titles and authors with my friends who read anyway.

I posted this in a different thread a while back. Here are some primary news sources:

  • New York Times (NYT)
  • Reuters
  • Associated Press (AP)
  • BBC News
  • The Guardian
  • Al Jazeera
  • Bloomberg
  • The Washington Post
  • CNN
  • Deutsche Welle (DW)
 

We mostly watch news and sports in my house. So unfortunately, live TV. Occasionally we watch other things. I mute the commercials and browse my phone when they're on.

But I would love a TV that is smart enough to auto hide & mute every kind of ad. Even little logos on the athletes' uniforms. Hide the ads on the pitcher's mound. Hide the billboards and signs in the stadium. Show some cool little generic animation, music video, or slide show during commercial breaks. Hide the damned popup window ads and scrolling ads that some channels do. Remove product placements from movies and shows. Basically make all ads completely vanish.

 

Not asking for tech support here, just wondering if in theory it would be possible to create a plug-in or even a complete browser that blocks ads in a way that's impossible to detect. One model that comes to mind is a quarantined / containerized non-blocking virtual browser which queries the web server directly, then the UX filters the content from that container and presents it to the user ad-free. As far as the web server can tell, the containerized browser is just vanilla Chromium.

 

Some of the satire on there was gold. Had a wonderful lampoon vibe.

What a pointless fluff piece. It's the Motley Fool, so no surprise there. And I love how Huffman sounds like a 5th grader giving a book report. "All good companies should go public when they can."

How can anyone take these clowns seriously. I look forward to watching their IPO fail spectacularly, if it ever even happens.
