Definitely easier if you can plan it in advance.

What do you do if you have a horse that dies or has to be put down? You call your neighbor down the road who has an excavator and ask him to dig you a horse sized hole. Then you bury it. If you don't, you won't want to leave your house for at least a week.

What we're dealing with here is a complete lack of respect for the prime directive.

Film Studios:

"We'll recycle the same theme's and franchises over and over until they're completely worn out AND we'll paywall the shit out of our media so everyone has to have 27 subscriptions to watch anything remotely interesting. Oh, and you're going to like it because we said so."

Also Film Studios:

"Wait, where are you going!? Why aren't you giving us money??? Come back! You can't not subscribe!"

Jellyfin has a built in DVR. It works with HD Homerun tuners.

I can still smell the interior of my dad's Fifth Avenue.

Forgiving my dad. He was a terrible father but he's a good grandpa. We made amends and I'm glad to have him in my life.

Definitely more common in suburban areas with more single family homes or places with larger apartments.

That said, having to drag all your laundry down to the laundromat or building laundry is very inconvenient and sucks up a lot of time. I don't miss that at all.

"Veridian Dynamics. People Lie. Companies protect their interests. It's different."

I had to sign up for a business account because of Cox's data cap. Sadly they're my only option and they suck ass.

 
 

I had to show off my newest acquisition. Picked up an old Rockwell 22-650 planer from a guy on Craigslist. I replaced the knives, greased it, and dialed it in. It works great! If I ever have to move it again, I'll get someone with a tractor to help. Still not sure how I managed to muscle all 400+ lbs of it into the basement by myself. I was dumb enough to try that once but not enough to do it twice.

 

I've seen several big chains, mostly gas stations and fast food, advertising "daily pay". If you are worried about how you're going to make it until your next paycheck, whether it's tomorrow or next month, or you have no savings to cover any sort of emergency, then you live paycheck-to-paycheck.

Don't be fooled. "Daily Pay" is just a shitty attempt at avoiding paying better wages by giving you your shitty wages faster. It's designed to benefit the company, not you.

Edit: If you don't get to hold on to your pay check long enough to earn interest on any of it, then getting paid daily is not benefiting you.

 

Anyone have any good external pen testing tools that you've used on your self hosted setup? Mine is pretty secure overall but I would like to be able to scan the WAN for vulnerabilities or misconfigurations just to make sure I haven't missed anything.

 

Well shit. I was really hoping Detroit would go all the way. And that's something I never would have expected to say.

 

I'm a long time PocketSmith user currently switching to Quicken. PocketSmith is a decent product but has some glaring issues that don't seem to be on their radar and I feel like my finances have honestly become too complex for PocketSmith's simplistic philosophy.

Quicken is the 800 lb. gorilla of personal finance and has been for decades. It's fairly complex but also way more feature rich than most personal finance software. My main complaints about it are that it's a (mostly) Windows Desktop only platform and that handling attachments is more time consuming than PocketSmith. In reality, PocketSmith doesn't handle attachments that well. I just built an app to help streamline the process which is not an option with Quicken.

We run a couple small businesses along with our personal finances, which Quicken accommodates just fine.

What personal Accounting software are you using and what do you like about it?

 

So far this is the DIY project I dislike the most. Removing tons of loose styrofoam from my attic. Only doing part of it for now to get access above a bathroom that we're remodeling. Eventually I'll remove all of it, seal the air gaps, and probably replace the insulation with blown in cellulose.

The the insulation vacuum bags definitely make it easier.
