Sure you do. Think back to your school classes. Senators are elected for 6-year terms. Fetterman is basically brand new so that means his election was the last cycle, or 2022. 2022 + 6 years equals 2028 reelection.

Every time with this guy. Venue shopping needs to stop. Everyone with an agenda is trying to file in his district for one reason, and it's not fair and balanced justice.

'Your Name' Movie Producer Confesses To Have Paid Over 20 Underage Girls For Sexual Favors - Animehunch (animehunch.com)

The Wakayama Prefectural Police revealed on May 8, 2024 that Your Name. movie producer Koichiro Itou has been referred to prosecutors for additional violation of Child Prostitution & Pornography law in Japan, after it came to light that he had paid an underage girl for sexual intercourse....

They're beating on a ragged anime trope trying to make a joke. Everyone lately thinks they're comedian. :eyeroll:

doc ,

It's a warning. The more that know lying will cost you millions the fewer will risk it. The more consumers who know of cheaters the more it will impact the business. Headline grabbing numbers are GOOD.

AOL Keywords.

Anyone remember brands putting their keyword in all their advertisements, like they do for a hashtags and @ signs today?

Stop light? All I saw was that one cop in an intersection.

They rocked 25 years ago. Haven't had what I would call a good meal from them in a decade.

How do I get my suit tailored?

I bought a cheap suit with the intention of making it look good through tailoring, but I don’t know how to actually get that done. The local stores don’t have websites and haven’t picked up when I called, should I just walk in with the suit? Do I need an appointment? Also, how much should I expect to pay? (California)...

doc , (edited )

A good tailor can do amazing things, but there are limits.

When it comes to tailoring, putting aside the quality of the suit (fused/glued canvas or not, among other things), the key thing you want as close to right from the start is the shoulders. Sleeve and jacket lengths are simple, neck and chest less so, but if the shoulder width is all wrong it's a major undertaking to alter if it can even be done.

Get WinAero Tweaker. It's a tool that applies dozens of registry and group policy settings to kill stuff like this. I ran it once ages ago and never have had to deal with stuff like your screenshot.

I have both of these, dry, in jars next to each other. If they weren't labeled I'd have to smell and maybe even taste to tell them apart. Fresh they look similar with smallish deeply textured leaves.

How do you get rid of "wet dog" smell in a dishwasher?

This is a thing with every dishwasher I’ve had, some models seem better than other. You wash the dishes and when they dry, they have a musty odor I can only describe as “wet dog”. Other people often don’t seem to notice this, so maybe I am just sensitive to it. Though if I point it out, then they smell it....

This is so close to being right. You want your drain hose to have a high loop before it connects with the drain pipe. This site has more info and clear pictures.

So, not surge pricing but slump pricing. I agree the marketing value, but I think the urge to offset the revenue reduction by raising the "standard" or non-discounted price will prove irresistible to the bean counters.

The customer is the shareholder. The consumer is a means to an end. Same as it ever was.

Court blocks $1 billion copyright ruling that punished ISP for its users’ piracy (arstechnica.com)

One thing that leaps out at me about this ruling is that courts understand the internet a lot better nowadays. A decade or so ago Sony would have probably gotten away with the argument that Cox profited from the users’ piracy; nowadays judges themselves use the internet and are going to go “lolno, they probably would have...

Ain't nobody going to talk about that guy in the thumbnail eating a CD while wearing that hat? Stock photos are weird.

doc ,

It finally just came up. Posting here from it now.

The admin last posted almost 2 weeks ago saying he was having a minor surgical procedure and hadn't publicly posted since. Hopefully he's okay and fixed this himself, but he's still silent at the moment.

Auto-auto-rotate. Remember your rotation setting by app. Why that isn't built in I don't know.

doc ,

I always want my gallery app to rotate. I never want my email app to rotate. Auto-auto-rotate remembers the last rotation setting for every app I use and will turn it on or off for me. After a day of normal use I literally haven't had to touch the system rotate setting once. It's fully automatic and took zero effort. Having to change the setting manually is more of a hassle than this.

For all the reasons others have already stated, what you want is a Kill A Watt instead of a multimeter or another thing to buy. Plug this thing into the wall and then plug your appliances etc into the meter and leave it for a week. I will record total power draw over the duration so you can see exactly how much power is being used under normal operating conditions. With a little bit of math you can compare kilowatt hours consumed with your power company costs and figure out how much money it cost to use TV's etc per hour.

Whats the best way to remove mold stains from clothes?

Two days ago I saw that one of my favourite shirts has mold stains. So far I’ve soaked it in 1:1 water and vinegar, dilute colorsafe bleach, and detergent separately for a few hours each. That might’ve killed the mold but the stains aren’t coming off. I rubbed powdered detergent on the shirt and left it in the sun for a...

From experience: sodium percarbonate. This is the active ingredient in oxy-clean powders and can be purchased online. In it's pure form it's commonly used as a sterilizing cleaner for brewing and bottling equipment. I've been using it in laundry for 10 years.

I find it's the opposite: engines are so biased toward new content that older but still useful (or crucial) results are buried. I feel like an archeologist some days, carefully digging through the strata to find ancient hidden treasure.

I'm hanging on to my sub $1000 beater. Late 90s Civic with 240k miles and no clear coat still has better mpg than our newish CRV.

Different brother. There's Aldi Sud and Aldi Nord (I think that's right), who have common family history but are now separate companies. One operates the US chain called Aldi and the other owns TJ's.

doc ,

Neat. This has more than one seen on other charts. I guess only Italian variations, though? I was looking for cortado, but it's Spanish. It's most similar to the flat white but with 50/50 espresso and milk

My local started this months ago. At self checkout they ask to see the photo on the back of your membership card to verify you're the same person. No secondary ID, and not sure what the point of that would be anyway. Counterfeit member cards?

Good to know, thanks

Sushi tonight, but I'm making French onion soup for whenever over the next few days. Always better the next day.

Yep. 40F and rain for a few days here. Need that warmth. Happy holidays!

They're doing more than riding on apples services for free. They had to build and run a notification relay server to make this work.

Same thing that's been in the news about Apple sharing info with police. The content of the messages are ETE encrypted but notifications of who is talking to who is not

doc ,

Yeah, that links gonna stay blue for me dawg.

Rooibos is a good option. You can get it all dolled up in a blend with fruits and flowers but it's fine straight up. It has an herbal, earthy taste, naturally only slightly sweet, and not astringent/bitter at all.

Units matter, as my high school teacher pounded into our heads.

For a while I was skipping lunch or eating junk food due to work pinning me down for 80 hours a week. I wanted something fast but healthy and not expensive. Prepared meals cost too much, delivery apps only raise the price.

I had heard of soylent before and found ready-to-drink was available at Target. Not bad, but not good. Too sweet for me. After looking into these things more I eventually settled on Mana as they seemed to be the most focused on nutrition and constantly improving their product. I've been getting their powder by subscription ever since to replace one meal a day (usually breakfast). Comes out to less than 5 minutes and $2 a day. It's borderline bland, which makes it easy to have fun with. Add chocolate powder, some mango juice, or leftover coffee from the French press, whatever to break out of the "I'm only eating this for sustenance" monotony.

doc ,

Not green. ;)

It wasn't lunch. I just couldn't eat on any regular schedule at all.

Antiperspirant with Aluminum Zirconium Tetrachlorohydrex Gly is the only one that works for me. For that I use Dove Clinical soft-solid because the scent is mild and the perforated applicator lets me work it in like lotion without over applying.

Open type fonts have these capabilities built in. It's up to the designer to implement it in useful ways like this.

Simpsons has become so... tame. Among other words that rhyme, such as dart, cart, and e-art.

Are phone notification LEDs still a thing?

Looking at all the features that older phones uses to have compared to newer ones, I never hear anyone talk about the removal of the notification LED. I personally really liked that feature, being able to see if I got an email, a text or missed a call without turning on my phone was awesome. My Samsung note 8 had this feature,...

doc ,

I didn't realize the LED was no longer ubiquitous! I rely on mine, and I take it a step further with missed notification reminder for a repeating audio tone every few minutes. I don't like having to stare at my phone all day long looking for work messages.

doc ,

I hope that gets changed when the next update finally goes out

doc ,

Snapdrop and pairdrop both support txt. On a PC right click your target. Android method will probably vary based on what app you're using.

doc ,

Bingo. It's wild to me to hear other countries doing tons of their payments via apps. US is 10 years behind the rest of the world on that.

We have things like Venmo and cashapp that approximate the same thing, but in the end it's just the same ACH transfers the banking industry has used for 30 years and takes days to process. The apps just hide that behind the scenes. FedNow actually means instant and 24/6 (still doesn't run on Sunday, if I recall correctly).
