knock on wood but according to mike gundy im a man and yet in this lifetime ive never ever had a major appliance malfunction. thats even after living long term in 11 different properties and inheriting appliances of all different ages and qualities. 1 fridge tends to build up a lot of frost. and 1 time i broke a glass cooktop because i dropped something heavy onto it.

Few things cringier from the early 00s than that entire culture subgenre of 'pick up artists'. remember this fucking doofus? And also, not to pick on peoples looks too much, but the main character in that universe who had to have been wealthy from all the books and media deals, these were his 2 long-time partners. He could at least try seducing a Pflugerville 6 maybe?

the way it synthesized the information and answered back in natural language is impressive tho

rachel is a goddamn minx

gigabit fiber internet finally became available at my house and now benching a steady 700mbit/s and i dont know what to do with myself

You’d have figured that kid would be taller

That looks exactly like a graph of my YouTube Watch Later playlist

If you can open a bank account in Turkey, you’ll get around 50% annual yield on your liras.

Ive rolled it on grass and light dirt trails and its fine. The first order determinant of how well things roll over obstacle is tire size, and it should be sized similar to portable strollers. theres good leverage on the frame at the handlebar and the turning seems better than the travel cybex

Babyzen yoyo is the best stroller in the world. No question. We had a cybex twizy swapped for a yoyo. Ridiculously easy to fold and unfold. Fits on airplane overhead (all the airport staff recognize it as a compatible stroller). Pivots and rolls and handles very well. Etc etc.

Generally bearish and pessimistic comments from executives in responding to Dallas Fed’s survey. Many expected depressed prices in cl and ng https://www.dallasfed.org/research/surveys/des/2024/2403#tab-comments (of course, 1 opinion, even from a big wig, is still just 1 opinion weighted against the entire market)

Win or lose Colorado has delivered a ton of entertainment last 2 years. TH12 is a stud and Shedeur does a good Caleb Williams facsimile on the field

In what may be a first for all of Surlys history: the wife is right.

Call it a hunch but UNLVs starting QB (who hails from New York) has a NIL deal thats slightly different from one brokered by the college messageboard admin offering $300/semester and free margaritas from the vegas equivalent of El Arroyo. Im guessing the deal is a tad larger and it comes with implicit expectation of playing for the team, and not given out of charity. Just guessing tho

NIL. It's a woozie it's a wayzee.

all this means is the rules are bullshit. why do we feign this 'student-athlete' pretense against what we already know has been the reality since the beginning of time: elite high school athletes in popular sports go to college to play sports. they pick their college to play sports. colleges recruit them to play sports. they will derive their career earnings from sports. hell, most of them wouldnt qualify for admittance to their colleges if not for sports. for all intents and purposes, these are athletes engaging in an (extremely) commercial enterprise, so they might as well be considered professional, and paid commensurately. thats why i support NIL. the fact that they're not "paid to play" is on-paper de jure vs de facto distinction. if bijan robinson decided he didn't want to risk injury playing in college, so he join the roster but never willingly step on the field, would any donors give him NIL? lets not make pretend here the true nature of the payments. if the UNLV dude didn't get the money that was promised to him, walking away seems appropriate.

I've complained about this atleast once before but I'll complain again: most software implementation of the mute function is stupid. The icon should say mic, not mute. It'll be colored red when mic is on, and gray/muted when mic is off. That's the color association everyone knows when an A/V equipment is on (or "hot"). Or render some skeuomorphic toggle switch in the On/Off states. ** On the left state, the mic is muted but the icon is red. On the right state, the mic is live but the icon is white, and it still has the crossed line that implies it's off. The design is signaling conflicting things

lol with the vagueness. if you're going to make an accusation, and there are no legal repercussion against it, just fucking lay out the charges. # pls respect my decision

Its actually fine in January, weather is very mild so not particularly cold nor wetter than the rest of the year. Only thing you really lose out on is daylight. Med coastal Spain is always a good escape for weather…but Paris wont be bad. We actually decided to get married during a late Dec trip to Paris and proposed a few months later in Spanish islands (Canaries)

Seems inappropriate to ask private employers to function as an individuals babysitter for a literally lifelong duration. I agree that some people fail to save. If that manifests as a societal problem, the responsibility for a minimal blanket belongs to government. (They launched SSN almost a century ago). FYI, in the nations most idealized as western socialist utopias, employee sponsored pensions are also DC; and the officially endorsed retirement architecture is “three pillar” (just like Americas ‘three-legged stool’): state, employer, and private savings.
