I get those very frequently the day before a popular show airs.

I wish there was a setting in sonarr to only grab released episodes (like radarr has) bit it seems like blocking extensions is the way to go.

WHATS THAT BROTHA, I CANT HEAR YOU OVER ALL THESE HOGS BEING CRANKED!

On the one hand, as someone who likes to use their garage for garage stuff in addition to storing my car in it, I feel his pain at the too-short garage.

On the other hand, fucking LOL at buying an unnecessarily large vehicle like a CT without checking your garage size first--and then doubling down by parking it like that.

Do you really expect a restaurant to manually write a 1-sentence description for every single thing on their menu? How would that even work?

I'm as fascinated by those shuttle comparisons as anything else!

On the face of it, I wouldn't have guessed that the space shuttle's power output was measured in gigawatts, nor that the space shuttle's output is on the same scale as an entire country's steam power output (in 1896, sure... but still!)

American here. Aren't you worried about suffocating in that stall, without 1.5ft [50cm] gaps between the floor and the wall, and 1in [25mm] gaps around the door for proper ventilation?

This data points to people starting to buy houses later in life, and also continuing to buy houses later in life, but I'm not sure you can say it points to there being more landlords. I have been a repeat homebuyer twice in my life (and probably will be at least one more time), but each time it has just been moving from one SFH to another.

The biggest thing I take away from this is that waaaay more older people are changing houses these days (downsizing after kids move out or moving to senior-oriented communities maybe?) There's no way that individuals buying rental homes is more than a blip in that green line.

Thanks to your comment, today's sober me is going to stop at the grocery store after work and do this weekend's high me SUCH a huge solid! 😘

Methinks the lady doth protest too much.

While you're not wrong, you're also massively over-analyzing and "WELL AKSHULLY"ing what appears to be a silly one-liner, not a serious attempted dunk on the article.

So now we're sending out reminders like a high school history teacher reminding students that the history report is due tomorrow.

I was thinking it's more like a reminder that your car's warranty is about to expire, so hurry up and purchase that extended warranty!

I refuse to use a case on principle. The idea that you need a case to protect a phone from everyday use is so ass-backwards it hurts my brain. (and was not always the situation!)

It would be so much more space, weight, and cost efficient to simply engineer in the durability provided by a case through the use of proper materials and construction. But apparently marketing thinks nobody would buy a phone that looks and feels out of the box the way a phone with a case feels. So we end up with these thin, elegant, glass and polished aluminum devices... that most of the population has to immediately hide inside a bulky plastic/rubber case to have a chance of surviving 6 months.

Imagine if a carmaker sold a premium vehicle with a polished metal and glass exterior that you had to protect under a vinyl wrap to keep it from rusting and chipping under normal use... they'd be a laughing stock!

 

Saw L7 posted yesterday, immediately reminded me of this banger from about 20 years later!

 

It would frequently be helpful to have the post you are directly replying to visible in the Reply screen. Or perhaps a "Show/Hide Parent Comment" toggle on the Reply screen on case you want to refer back or quote specific details from the parent.

 

For example, have "Show NSFW" active when logged in to one account, but disabled when switching to another. Because... reasons 😉

I believe Jerboa has this feature (account specific view settings}

Really enjoying the app by the way!

I'm planning to print up a bunch of brackets to mount LED shop lights (very similar to these) to the ceiling in my garage. My plan is to use an upside-down "U" shape bracket that screws into a joist/drywall anchor in the middle and then sort of clips around the sides of the metal frame.

Maybe filament type doesn't matter much here, but I'd rather not come out to one of the lights having fallen on my car if I can help it 😅

I think the main considerations are just temperature and stiffness. It can get up to about 85F in the garage on the hottest summer days, and probably a few degrees warmer by the ceiling. The lamps are cheap LED tubes, so the metal housing only gets slightly warm to the touch (say 90-100F or so). I know PLA is a bit stiffer at room temp, but I'm worried it might soften too much at the worst case of warm temperatures.

Any thoughts on PLA vs PETG for this situation?
