I honestly kinda want to import a Multipla, widebody it and put a Hellephant in it

Might be a fake 13. They’ll have a button for 13 in the elevator, but 14 actually gives you 13, 15 gives you 14, etc. That way nobody ever thinks they’re on 13, and the fake button convinces them that there is in fact a 13th floor. Or 13 is a mechanical floor.

Yeah, this year has been on an absolute rip, I'm expecting a drop in the next year, regardless of who wins. Actually pulled 10% of my retirement out of the market and into cash yesterday so I can buy any future dips.

I'm getting that same way.

Currently trying to chase down some automatic sun shades that don't need an app to do time-based cycles. Shouldn't be this hard, but every band wants you to use absolute garbage apps.

I've been using New Pipe, but they seem to have broken every 3rd party front-end within the last week or so.

There really isn't a way to realistically shield against relay attacks. Most people say "just go back go physical keys", but those are even less secure.

Phone-as-key and keycard systems are vulnerable in the same way.

Ironically, I think Hyundai is the only company currently doing biometrics. They have a face unlock and fingerprint start on the GV60 in some markets iirc.

That applies to every manufacturer, and no, there isn't really a fix.

It's also not really happening in any meaningful numbers, at least yet...

This is the real reason they disappeared - awnings cost money and don't increase square footage. That's also why every modern building is a boring box.

We didn't forget about them, it's still covered in architecture school. You can even make them look really cool. But they cost money, and that's a hard barrier to cross.

This was our favorite thing to do in my HS Japanese class. I still remember "skydiving": skah-daaaah-ben-goo.

It takes less money to move than you might think to move. If you have a specialty (especially in STEM) it’s really easy, and most jobs will even provide language classes for free.

Unfortunately I picked the wrong specialty (architecture). Still trying to get licensed by the end of the year, that's the only chance I have at another country maybe recognizing my degree. Regardless, it's not very in-demand.

Oh, yeah, my local wore off halfway through. When they applied more, it felt like they lit my nuts on fire.

My recovery was honestly pretty bad. I was bed-ridden for about 2 weeks, then 8-ish months of aching pain all day every day. Not actually sure when it finally cleared up, I just realized I hadn't felt the pain in a while. My first nut was about a month after the procedure, and that was also a very unpleasant experience.

My case is abnormal, but even more rare is the guys that continue to be in pain for the rest of their lives. Didn't find out about that until I started digging deeper because of my persistent pain.

That said, I still 100% recommend getting it done.

Gotta get creative to get any decent addresses these days. I've been trying to establish a company name (with an available, short-ish, simple URL) and it's surprisingly difficult, even getting into weird TLDs. Really annoying, especially since a lot of them aren't actually being used.

Finally found a 9 character made-up word that I could get the .us TLD for, and I think that's about as good as it's going to get.

He didn't accept the 2016 results, so I wouldn't count on it.

I literally said in my comment that Soylent is a splurge that could be replaced with oatmeal. I don't get it to be cheap, I get it because I like it and it's pretty good nutritionally. Make that change and you're under $30, like I usually am outside of that.

Here was this week's cost, including splurging on a 1lb bag of nuts for snacking: https://i.postimg.cc/GmSJWVxp/Screenshot-20240509-111904.png

More importantly I was replying to your "only ramen or rice and beans" comment, because I don't eat either of those. I could reduce my costs further if I did, but I like what I eat and don't need to save money on my food budget.

I spend about that if you exclude my splurge on Soylent for breakfast (substitute oatmeal, for example). I eat wraps that are 90% veggies for lunch and the premix Birdseye veggie/chicken dinners where I can get 2 meals per bag.

I mean, depends on the frozen pizza. 99% of them are worse, but there's one brand I get at wally world for like $7 a pizza that is better than 99% of the pizza I can order (and we have some pretty solid pizza joints around here).

Had to quit getting them though because they're like 6000 kcal.

Pretty sure you could still get away with this - if the drop is less than 30" no railing is required.
