Funnily enough, three real condoms are less effective than one.

You might get some use from Jira or a similar tool…
- Comment on Why do some people have so many tabs open on their browser? 2 weeks ago:
I have ADHD. Open tabs lose context, I forget why they’re open, so they are useless. Bookmarks are categorized and that organization keeps the context apparent. I currently have 5 tabs open, and after submitting this reply, it will be four.
- Comment on Why do some people have so many tabs open on their browser? 2 weeks ago:
You know every modern browser has bookmarks, and I think all of them have a bookmark toolbar, and the ability to organize bookmarks into folders…
right?

My previous router (ASUS) crapped out at about 30 clients on 2.4GHz. New one (TP-Link Archer) is doing fine with somewhere between 30 and 40 depending on whether some clients connect to 2.4/5/6GHz, and about 50 clients total once I count wired and docker containers.

Banking/financial apps are the biggest sticking point that I keep hearing about. They won’t run on a non-Google Android, let alone an AOSP container in Linux.

It’s not “locked” to a specific distance, it’s fairly elastic and the exact follow distance varies based on speed. So, if traffic slows down, it will gradually close the gap while also slowing down. The end result then is far less drastic speed changes.

I don’t always hang out behind a semi when just doing daily driving, but I will 100% camp out behind one when pulling my trailer - massive fuel savings from reduced wind resistance.

Adaptive cruise control FTW. Matches speed with the person ahead of me (up to the max that I set) and maintains a gap that I can specify. It starts slowing down long before I’d notice the gap closing if I were doing it myself, so the +/- acceleration is a lot smoother as a result.

You might correct one thing, but by the time you did that they already dug up three new pieces of garbage.

I know several, they’re type that base their whole identity around their job, and the type to die very quickly after retirement. They also vote conservative.

PS/Xbox controllers have more internal space, so their joystick modules are much, much larger than what goes in the joycon. That means they can have more material in the potentiometers, meaning less susceptible to wear and dust/dirt intrusions.

If you’re in the woods, you have access to a virtually unlimited amount of fuel. If you’re in a desert, the fuel source is nuclear. This is a technique taught in survival courses/manuals and military field guides all over the world.

A pot, a sheet of plastic, a cup, a rock, some sticks and rope and you can distill water.

- Comment on Anon visits a guy's house 6 months ago:
years back, my eldest daughter was the only one in the family with long hair (wife and I keep ours short, at the time the rest of the kids also kept short hair - that’s changed now), and she would just let that go down the drain in the bath, which would eventually clog the drain.
The first couple times, I cleaned it and had gotten one of those strainer things to help keep the hair out. She would always “forget” to use it, even though it was always over the drain (the plug is one of those pop-up ones so you can open and close it without moving the strainer out of the way).
The next time the drain clogged, I handed her a bag and an old pair of pliers and told her to get to cleaning. That strainer has been on the drain ever since.

I’ve settled on soaps that don’t aggravate my psoriasis and have an agreeable scent. They do happen to be “men” soaps, but absent another option or if I’m not at home, then I was with what’s available.
The only exception is my beard wash/oil/balm. I bring that shit with me.

We have that in Ontario, and as a kid my cub/scout troop would go around town and ask people to give us their empties as a fundraiser. We’d return them and use the money to buy camping supplies and stuff.
