I’d be mostly ok with it because of noise canceling headphones, but when the neighbors rev it up and down and up and down, the headphones can’t keep up. When the other neighbor’s lawn service comes, they use it on high speed for 7.5 minutes, then go away and I barely hear it.

This is a pretty good read and explains that it’s not a supply issue.

A paradox: in 1970, everyday Americans found it relatively easy to afford a house, and the average American house cost 5.9x the average American income. In 2024, Americans find it nearly impossible to afford a house, and the average American house costs…5.9x the average American income.

Thanks for promoting responsible gun ownership. While I don’t believe in killing in any fashion, I do enjoy shooting. I’ve never been hunting and don’t even eat meat, but there’s something really fun about shooting all types of guns and improving your skills. It also made me a much better wildlife photographer. :-p

I think you have this wrong. You can prevent those awkward situations, fumbling around in the dark bedroom, digging through your pants for the condom that you always keep, then fishing around on the floor under the bed because it fell out of your pocket and tumbled under the bed if you just wear one all the time because you just never know.

I think of it like the emergency brake in my car. In an actual emergency, you’re not going to have enough time to yank it (the brake, you pervert! We’ve moved on!), so just always drive with the emergency brake engaged. It’s the safest way.

As long as we’re sharing time saving tips and talking cars, it saves a lot of time to just leave your left turn signal on. I mean, how often do you turn left or change lanes? You’ll save a LOT of time and all the other drivers will thank you with honks. I sure get a lot of honks driving under the minimum highway speed in the left lane with my left turn signal on and emergency brake engaged while wearing a condom for safety! They all wave at me with one finger, which must be a more efficient way of saluting because it uses so many less fingers!

I’d love to find a cooking community, specifically for healthy and/or vegan recipes and techniques.

edit: I actually mean plant based, not vegan.

I should have specified … minimum “suggested” tip. Like when they specify that 20% is added foe groups or if they calculate it for you on the receipt and it shows 20, 22 and 25% or at the terminals at the table the 3 options start at 20. I feel guilty for doing custom and selecting less.

I’ve read on other social platforms from wait staff that they would prefer tips to a living wage because they can make so much more with tips than without.

I’ve cut my dining out significantly recently because with the recent hike in restaurant prices, plus the minimum 20% tax tip, dining out is unaffordable.

Also, during covid I became an incredible cook.

I think this is exactly what I’m looking to do. Thanks for such a detailed writeup!

I did some reading last night and think it lines up with what you’re saying. I found docker-mailserver with some configuration. The only thing I need to add is mail filtering to folders and I think that’s included.

I’d like to hide behind the service that I’m paying for without incurring extra fees for retaining it all. I can figure out the pull side by using fetchmail or something to a server that hosts dovecot, but the sending side is confusing since I’d need something that can receive my email and send it via the service. It’s only 1 email address, so I’m not looking for a mail relay, but something like a full caching mail proxy.

I started watching the video. I was not aware that LetsEncrypt supported wildcard certificates. Does this mean that your internal network uses the same domain name as your externally-hosted services?
