What would be the theme? https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/911-New-York-Ave-Lynn-Haven-FL-32444/42759272_zpid/

Every room has a different flavor. I guess in general there is a tendency towards horror/spooky themes, but honestly imo it's just tacky. Which is a shame, I appreciate the effort and the investment into it. Some of the ideas are actually cool, like the floor made of circuit boards or that roof with fake stalactites but the final result doesn't do it for me.

I take this as a sign, I shall pray with a colander on my head and see what happens

It's alright. Highlight of it was watching Nosferatu last night. Loved it. I regret not going to see it in cinemas when it came out last year

Is this what I'm doing wrong? Do I need to try until I find a god that answers?

Absolutely the mouse

Tar on toast is fine though

Depends on how much money you want to spend. People here giving pointers on cleaning sources of smells and I second that, but to answer your question, three things work for me to actually make my home smell like something in particular:

1- Essential oil diffuser. IMO the most effective, the downside is that not all essential oils are as fancy as, say, the fragrances of the other options in this list. Also you have a bit of an investment upfront, diffuser+oils. But they last reasonably long.

2- Reed diffusers: vast variety of prices here, the pricier ones are nicer and last longer. The downside is that the scent will lose effectiveness with time. Usually I can't smell the oil once it's reaching a quarter left unless I pick a reed and smell the oily end. YMMV depending on how large and how ventilated the area is.

3- Scented candles: again, you get what you pay for. Honestly it's usually the big very expensive ones the only ones that really work. Also, fire, so that's a potential hazard if you have pets/kids. IMO they can work if they're good, but they don't last as long, meaning, more expensive.

So yes I hope this helps. Good luck

No, you're trash! ❤️

Lots of numbers in the article, it's a straight to the point read if you're interested, but here's the thing: the increase is a direct result from the tariffs. Mexico still sells in spite of them. Apparently US will increase the tariffs for mexico to 30% in August

I feel somewhat reassured knowing that it's a human making decisions at the end of the chain on the other end. I appreciate your perspective! I'm sure you must have seen your share of stuff while on that job...

An electric weighing system? I didn't even know that existed on bins

You're right that I'm surprised by the honor system, not arguing that. I don't know, I figured they could perhaps cross check automatically with some database such a driver's license but, guess not . What you said makes absolute sense.

 

Was considering to get a grid mat, large- at least A2 or so - of those you can write and erase. After searching online I found few options, and they're a bit pricey.

Any recommendations? I don't need anything fancy. Just a large laminated grid that can be rolled up. Thanks

 

So I've been working in retail for a while and seen my share of odd and rude customers, but today I had my very first "Karen", and he was american also. (I'm not, and I'm in Australia).

The store I work for doesn't give their bags for free, we charge for them. This guy picked an online order and then threw up a tantrum and demanded to speak to a manager when I refused to give him a bag for free. Another team member (more experienced) just gave him the bag and he just left.

That does it I guess, but it's giving in to rude demands what sustains this kind of behavior imo. I'm not trying to protect the interests of the corporate I work for- it's just a stupid bag ffs, perhaps ask nicely? I've been called off both for giving away bags for free before as well as calling for the manager to deal with "minor issues".

So I'm asking, in general, how do you deal with these types of customers?

 

Asking after the privacy debacle and manifest. I'm not keeping up closely, but iirc Firefox is the browser recommended because of Ublock. After the privacy data issue I've noticed broken trust from Firefox users, recommendations in favor of switching browsers, and predictions saying Firefox is going downhill fast and that their forks won't be maintained for much longer.

So I'm here asking the seasoned sailors' thoughts, aye. Is this just a storm passing by or are you really considering jumping ship?

 

Clearly I haven't shot anything irl ever and don't know much about weapons either. Oh and relax, I'm not planning on shooting anyone.

Question comes after videogames, which can sometimes have both weapon types used interchangeably and/or behaving in a similar way.

I would personally believe guns are easier, and that the only advantage a bow would ever have is that they're not as noisy. But I hear people say aiming with a bow is easier. I guess the type of bow and gun used would also weigh on the matter?

 

Crosspost... Well I can't crosspost apparently, my apologies

 

You guys did great with your Christmas predictions last time so I'm counting on your help

 

In any way you know of. I find people here are more aware of politics and ethics behind big companies and this is what prompted my question but I'm also curious about any other differences.

I'm in Australia and I've only used Ebay and AliExpress so far. I find AliExpress has more variety and somewhat cheaper prices but I don't know why or anything else.

When I first heard about Temu it was always in relation to dodgy products and sex toys so I didn't pay much attention to it, however lately I keep hearing about people buying regular stuff without issues. Never tried it myself though.

 

Please help so I can do my groceries properly in advance, thanks

 

So I accidentally turned backup on with my butt or something the other day, and Google Photos decided it was fine to upload to the cloud all my photos which I keep locally on my device.

I don't need or want cloud backup, thanks very much, and I didn't enjoy having to research how to delete all the images from the cloud while keeping them in my device, and enjoyed even less then doing all of that manually.

Zero out of five stars, I did not enjoy and would not recommend.

Now, can you recommend a free app that lets me browse and manage my own personal local collection of images? My preference is for something with an intuitive, easy to use interface. What are y'all lemmings using?
