For a quick and dirty clean room run the shower really hot for a few minutes to make a bunch of steam and then wait for the humidity to naturally equalize, boom you got a few minutes to do your swap job.

I’ve never heard of this… what’s the idea behind it? That you get the RH near 100%, and any dust particles will be a nucleation point for water to condense on, causing them to literally rain out of the air?

For me personally, pepperoni better nails the sweet/spicy/savory trifecta a little better than ham, but it’s very much in the same ballpark.

She was a fax machine she kept her modem clean.

That’s a legit start to a Weird Al song right there!

My Minnesota homes know what’s up

On the power disable feature topic, I’ve only bought a few used enterprise drives from Goharddrive.com and Serverpartsdeals.com, but they both included a handy little SATA power adapter with each drive for exactly that reason.

The first desktop I installed them in worked just fine with the factory PSU cables, but when I upgraded I was left scratching my head for a few minutes until I remembered those adapters!

Clearly “Yinz” is the ideal second person plural term. The rest of the english-speaking world just hasn’t caught up to Pittsburgh yet.

Very related, but the song that was played over every retirement, graduation, and other big life event photo montage for about 3 years was literally called “Good Riddance” lmao

Begrudgingly given in.

Good fully wireless ear buds are truly an amazing convenience, but I value having flexibility and redundancy in my hardware more than having a slightly sleeker form factor. Thay includes things like removable battery, SD card slot, etc. Unfortunately, the market has spoken, and keeping those features limits you to a more and more niche selection every year. By now the tradeoff just isn’t worth it to me.

As far as USB dongles, I seem to have enough problems with USB-C ports becoming loose or flaky for charging that I avoid using them except when necessary. Wireless chargers abound in my house.

I have no memory of this as a kid, but even as a grown-ass mid 40s adult, it’s weirdly ominous and unsettling. Wtf were they thinking?

To add to this, if you compare a dresser (or table or whatever) at ikea to a piece of the same price range from pretty much anywhere else, it’s almost absurd how much better quality the IKEA piece will be. Or maybe it’s more accurate to say it’s absurd how crappy the non-IKEA piece will be.

Seriously, go to a furniture store and look at the drawer construction and hardware on a $1000 dresser and compare that to a $400 IKEA dresser.

There is definitely some garbage at the bottom of their price ranges, but their mid range stuff is generally a solid value.

This, but needs a splash of hot sauce (preferably cholula) to really set it off!

That’s legit the best use of what-we’re-currently-calling-AI I’ve heard all week.

Yeah you’re right. “Could be gone forever” is probably more accurate. I imagine most banks would give you a bit of leeway, just like most CCs aren’t going to hold you liable for the first $50 like they technically could.

But at the same time, that money is gone immediately from your account, so if a sizable amount gets debited it could put you in a pickle until/if they refund it.

OP also didn’t specify which type of debt. Twice your annual salary in CC debt, ehhh not so great. Twice your annual salary in a mortgage + student loans + car loan actually sounds like a pretty typical situation, if not a bit frugal. That’s a person making 100k with a 4yr degree from a public univeristy, living in a 150k house, and driving a usedToyota.

To add to this, if your debit card is used fraudulently, that money is gone from your bank account forever. If your credit card is used fraudulently, you are on the hook for maximum $50, and in my experience it has always been $0.

I have had fraudulent charges show up on a CC about once every 2-3 years. In each case, the worst hassle is waiting a few days for a new card to arrive. That alone is enough for me to never use a debit card unless absolutely necessary.

The boring answer is that we’d use different materials for construction. Or we’d find a way to make them suitable for construction, like how we turn sand and gravel into concrete, or pack snow into ice blocks.

Huh… You have me questioning my sanity now.

Apparently they were the same imagery during the first seasons but in the last season they changed by episode. I have a few vivid recollections of seeing a motif from the intro show up in a key shot from the episode, but that must have all come from the last season.

Better Call Saul

Short, sweet, and generally relevant to the episode in an almost easter-eggish way.

As a former teenager, I apologize.
