Tongue taste zones I clearly remember learning about in third grade or so. Also the food pyramid. Saw a video on that recently - what a joke.

I'm 6'2" and used one in my adult lifetime (ranger if I recall). At my age now I doubt I could do it again

Quick! Drop an acorn on the roof of their car! Distraction success!

It's obvious. You keep jeffing things up.

I get this as being a bit of a hurdle, but wouldn't a good option in hind sight be to create a separate work related apple account based on your work email? I've done that in the past with various companies for iPhones and MacBooks. Makes it cleaner to return the device and doesn't compromise my personal account should they ultimately need my credentials on the non-owned-by-me device.

I hate nipple play when sober. Bring on the alcohol and apparently I really get into it

I run around with a group and when the guilty verdict was rendered, oh my - the amount that started digging in surprised me. It's a group that typically doesn't delve into it and I saw that as a big plus. Now I'm not so sure what to think other than just keep my mouth shut.

I had a bosses' bosses' boss tell me (via my boss) that I had to work 8-5 and take an hour lunch. Told my boss at that time that I would no longer be available for lunch to do anything work related. Told him I worked over lunch to get into things quickly the first few months but I'll play the game. Started using the on site gym to the fullest.

So do insurrectionists! What are the odds.

All the people in my development that had them up still have the signs from 2020 going strong... It's still pretty split from talking with neighbors. One person near me is in business selling heavy equipment and they're looking forward to trump because they feel they sell more equipment when republicans are in office. I guess that's a viewpoint.... For sure.

That's depressing

I dig that solution for sure. I know I've seen others in the past only suggest the low voltage DC piece and not have the solution to run 100 foot or more in the wall - but essentially you could load up highly efficient power transformation as well as built in batteries for each device to request the power it needs.

Only real problem next would be the added cost. Not only for the edge devices (which may save money) but for the home transformation itself. 110vac outlets are around a buck or so; pretty hard to beat. My guess is that this would be something better served with early adopters and then attrition.

What voltage of DC would you propose for the common household? Keep in mind that one good reason for alternating current is for safety. Higher voltage AC will allow your muscles to release if contacted. Higher voltage DC does not. Additionally, using higher voltage with either type reduces actual wiring cost in the walls to deliver similar wattage. I don't have the math on me for sure, but delivering 12vdc to every outlet would require much larger in wall cables... And that doesn't even touch the subject of voltage drop (with the exception that larger cables can mitigate this somewhat).

I don't disagree for sure, but at some point the price will become more competitive as other companies see dollar signs...

48v 100ah battery with Bluetooth BMS built in is around 700$ on ali express... Slightly more direct from Amazon in the USA if you want it fast. Will store close to 5kwh which I guarantee you beats out this solution. Of course you'd still need to buy the grid sync inverter (available in many places) as well as a solar mppt charger and solar cells. Still will come below this cost - or you'll simply blow by the capacity of what you would have paid for this solution. But gotta have the old noggin on straight to do it yourself.

You know, I was thinking that weird Al actually did name the song this. And I was tired. And replied to the wrong comment. Oh well!

Bro died doing what he loved.

11 herbs and utis

Worked at McDonald's. Many many eons ago. Used to open on the weekends for them. That meant I had to change the grease out of the fryer vets. The management there only gave us a quarter per hour for break, so during my dumping of the oil I would swipe a few of those burritos and jam on them in the back. Very fond memories of those.

Definitely part of the joke.
