I actually just became a grandfather two days ago. I'm looking forward to, "Listen, things were different back in the nineteen hundreds..."

We didn't have one of these. Instead, I got to crouch on the ground and hold the post with my hands while my father brought the front-end loader bucket down on it. Good times.

The location is off by about fifty miles. It didn't get my GPU or battery level. Everything else is stuff that doesn't matter. Firefox browser, English, android device. I am not terribly impressed.

I second this. Sulfuric acid was my entire job for eleven years. It would definitely do the job, but it's not as simple as dropping a body into a drum with it. You'd need a lot more of it, heat, pumps for a circulation system, filtration for the parts that it won't eat through right away (hair and fingernails, possibly teeth). There are much more efficient ways to get rid of a body. Especially on an island.

I have learned a lesson today. From now on when someone says, "I wouldn't recommended looking into this," I think I'll just leave it alone.

I was a heavy smoker for thirty years. I quit...16 days ago. So I might not be the best to advise you on this as I'm still just getting started myself. I have quit a few times in the past though, and I can tell you what is making this time easier. First, realize that nicotine is not the problem. That's out of your system in a few days, from what I understand. It's the habit that screws it up for you. And I am definitely feeling that. I no longer have that treat to look forward to when I get home. I don't have anything to do when I'm frustrated trying to figure something out at work. I can't go outside and have one to relax and think about things. Some of my best work was accomplished while taking a smoke break. Anyway, the way I dealt with that was to start breaking the habits first. Start small. Here's what I did. First, no smoking in the house. Took some time to get used to that. Next, no smoking in the car. That took a while, because I drive a lot, but eventually I got used to it. Then, no smoking at work. Didn't even bring them with me. The reason for all this was to get myself used to the idea of not smoking during these times, so that when I stopped it wouldn't bother me as much. While I'm at work, I'm used to not smoking at work so it doesn't bother me. Same thing with the driving. So, once I got all that down, I set things up so that I would finish my last pack right before I went to bed on Sunday night. That way I wake up and go right to work. A good head start. So, that's where I am now. And it definitely helped. Nothing will ever kill cravings completely, but for me this made things easier. It still sucks though. A lot. So willpower is still going to be a big factor. I wish you luck. It won't be easy. However, if it helps, I can tell you that even after only two weeks it has made a huge difference in my mood, and drastically reduced my stress levels. Aside from being a constant stimulant, I'm also not in a hurry all the time, just trying to get to that next smoke break. I don't worry about how many I have. Things like that. So, just do it. And stick with it. It's worth it.

This is exactly the case for me. I don't mind a DLC or two if they are actual full expansions of the game, but when I see a hundred little ones that should all have been one thing, I won't have anything to do with it.

I feel like I've read this response somewhere before...

I don't know why you say it's difficult to quit. I've done it like eight times.

I'll second this. I left Manjaro for EndeavourOS a few weeks ago and, so far at least, the experience has been flawless.

That makes sense. When I read that, my immediate thought was: demo saw.

Sorry for the delay. Apparently this app doesn't tell me when people reply.

Most of what I make ends up in space. We use pyrolytic graphite, which we actually make ourselves on site, which can stand up to some pretty extreme temperatures with very little expansion or contraction. There are other applications as well, mostly involving any situation where conductivity is important. Some hospital imaging machines use it instead of aluminum in high temperature scenarios. It's very good at what it does, but its use is fairly limited due to its absolutely insane price tag.

I don't know why, but I'm fully convinced that if this owl could speak, it would do so in Al Pacino's voice.

Machinist here. But not just any machinist. I work almost exclusively with graphite. I'm sure you can imagine what a mess that makes. We do have a powerful dust collector that runs all day, but it doesn't catch everything. We get covered in the dust every day. The company does have a locker room and showers for us though, so it's not too bad. We still leave nice and clean.

Now that one goes after a whole lot more info than the other. I was pretty happy to see the amount of "unknown" and "permission not granted or denied" responses though.

This is so painfully accurate.

American Gods.

The first season was incredible, with stellar performances all through it. Then half the cast left the show over some behind the scenes stuff and it just never quite reached the same level again. Made me sad.

What good is a housekeeping robot if it can't break a cavalry charge?

Yeah, my company bought it used... ten or fifteen years ago. Runs great though.

Still one of my all time favorites. I've tried suggesting it to a few people, but none of them can get past the first page. I think that says more about my friends than anything else though.
