While we're at it, let's get rid of birds that shit on everything, deer that eat our gardens, raccoons that get in our trash, skunks that dig up our grass ....

It's good to have a variety of brew methods available. I have my V60 and my French Press, but during the week my mornings get busy and I can easily polish off a pot on my own so I opt for my Moccamaster. It makes a solid clean cup.

IP-based mitigation strategies are pretty useless for ATO and credential stuffing attacks.

These days, bot nets for hire are easy to come by and you can rotate your IP on every request limiting you controls to simply block known bad IPs and data server IPs.

Even worse

Modern red suited Santa was reimagined and heavily commercialized by Coca-Cola and Christmas was appropriated from Sol Invictus. Nobody even knows when Jesus was born.

Colonization and commercialization at their best.

How so? I am on SAVE and have been hit hard by interest since September.

I could care less about forgiveness. I knew what I was getting myself into. But 0% interest after paying a certain amount really needs to be a thing.

Many fond memories with this one. But if I could go back and experience one game for the first time again, I'd have to go with Gemstone III.

My bourbon French toast says otherwise.

Au naturel.

Wash regularly. Wear clean clothes.

I want to smell like me. Not wood, coal, fuel, fruit, smoke, pine, or flowers.

Just watch out for heavy garlic & onion days 😆

Electric cars aren't better for the environment in our current ecosystem. You might not be burning fuel in your car but you're burning coal at the power plant. Beyond that all you've done is make yourself more dependent on the power grid. If you are one of the very few people with self sufficient electric in your home you can skip this one.

You really have to factor in the refinement and transport of fuel though. And then needing to drive to the pumps and the additional maintenance ICE vehicles

And not all energy is created by burning coal. There are solar, hydro, wind, and nuclear. In fact, only 20% of our energy comes from coal, https://www.eia.gov/tools/faqs/faq.php?id=427&t=3.

I can't speak for every state, but California has only one coal plant and an abundance of renewable energy generation. Including what consumers dump back into the grid.

I love our EV, and encourage others to buy one. They aren't perfect, but it's about incremental improvements. The next problems to solve is battery improvements, long-term battery resource sustainability, and building a more durable and less polluting tire.

Agree with this.

Decompressing is healthy and you need to find balance. Perhaps the content is the problem. TV/Film, while entertaining, is an art form. So raise your standards for content if you find what you are watching to be braindead.

For me, Discovery+ has great content which I share with my daughter and it leads to new ideas and hobbies for us that go beyond the TV.

Also, tuning out completely actually may be more alienating than you realize, and in social circles you may end up out of the loop.

All in all, first real pizza fail in like, ten years. I've dropped them, torn them, had to repurpose some as calzones.

Bottom on this one got too thin and wet while teaching my daughter how to make her own pie. Went to turn it in my dome and it ripped right through. Fortunately, I was able to burn the oven clean in 5-10 minutes and get another one on.
