- Comment on What is an industrial product that, if you could purchase as an investment, you know you could find **local** customers ? 1 week ago:
It was very unique stuff. Could never figure out what would be used for. One batch looked like soft close cabinet door hinges sort of.

Years ago a retired friend of my dad made widgets.
He’d get a like two boxes of parts that needed to be fit together. Sometimes it required simple tools. He never knew what the parts were for.
He’d assemble it and ship it back.
- Comment on How would a wealth tax affect real estate rentals? 2 weeks ago:
That’s not a bad point. Many options exist to offload property though, including bulldozing a mansion on 10acres that no one is buying and turning it into a housing sub division
- Comment on my back hurts so bad 3 weeks ago:
Back pain can lead to depression and suicide so don’t let it get out of control if possible.
I keep a stash of drugs that escalate. Tylenol/advil for minimal pain. I’ll go to 400mg advil without much thought.
After that I have some Rx strength naproxen that usually does the trick. After a few days of that, it’s onto my last stash of muscle relaxers and a tele-health call. I’ve only had to get opioids once or twice and I try to avoid them due to how they mess with my guts.
Also be aware that it could be a kidney infection. Usually that pain will be on a single side.

In Outlook it’s called the .pst file.
In thunderbird I think it’s an mbox file.
Not a lot of mail apps out there. I’d go with thunderbird mbox.

If it’s going to be a glorified display then simply get a non-smart tv designed for marketing.
- Comment on how are you able to care more about your job itself than the people at your job? 5 weeks ago:
You’re only wrong because your job has poor management and you should be finding a new one.
- Comment on Why Shouldn't I Use A Small Gaming PC 5 weeks ago:
I think the packaging also leads to better audio quality due to inherently lower emi.

mITX is more expensive but is smaller and has some other advantages.
- Comment on Why Shouldn't I Use A Small Gaming PC 5 weeks ago:
You can do better. I’d get a miniITX form factor of your choice that supports a video card, but omit the card for now.
An amd with igpu might be decent for your needs today and slap a dgpu in later if your needs change.

- Comment on Would you ever give up your right to leave a bad review about a company? 1 month ago:
It’s not enforceable. Contract law understands that sometimes contracts are garbage.
- Comment on How do I beat the roaches in this house? 1 month ago:
Get that bait gel. They eat it then die back in the walls where others eat it and die.
Glue traps.
Seal up everything. Foam for the larger gaps, caulk for everything else. All baseboards.

You can do anything if you put your mind to it.

Modern soaps lack the phosphates that really mess with cast iron. I typically do this.
Little bit of water, heat on high until it boils most things off the pan.
Scrape with metal spatula and stick items.
Hit it lightly with soap and sponge.
Dry with paper towel.
Spray with oil.
Wipe oil all sides.

Yeah, heat pumps use a lot of energy when running. They are the most efficient way to cool your home though.
Only an electric water heater or clothes dryer compares to the amount of electricity they use.
You can improve your homes insulation or set your thermostat higher if you want to reduce the amount used.

Thousands of years is very different than 1 million years.
