Was hoping to use my snowblower for the first time this season, but it was mostly slush. About 2 inches of slush and an inch of snow on top. Had to use the push shovel instead. Slush just clogs the snowblower.

On January 10th I did get a reply from her via PM that merc is okay. It still would be good to hear from him directly.

Happy New Year!

5 Years between posts, welcome back

It was a pretty good game, I only watched the very tail end (9th and 10th innings). No fireworks here.

youtube has a kids mode. But there are certain restrictions on using it. To enforce it you need custom dns capability. It is literally just a setting on your youtube account. So logging off removes the restriction. I think there is a way to do it via redirects. Similarly locking down google...

I probably wouldn't put it in the card like that. Maybe two factor authentication by getting a code from my phone or something.

Sweet Christmas The timeline is what seems screwy to me. Based on Jessica Jones I thought Luke was with her. And at first I thought this was in the 1970s. But then other events place it after the Jessica Jones series. It just seemed weird.

Looks good to me.

The early reviews used A/C and didn't drive it any different than normal and they exceeded the 238 rating. So it seems to be a more conservative number which is nice. But I definitely want to see how effective the heater is. A car you plug in once or twice a week is an interesting proposition...

Why not just submerge the whole thing in that non-conductive mineral oil or something? Can the powersupply go in there?

Random question: I was researching magnetic mounts and thought I had seen one that had little standoffs in the corners and then the metal plates had corresponding cutouts so that the phone wouldn't move around. But I can't seem to find it now. Anybody remember this or know what I'm talking...

Yeah this type of crap irks me to no end. Bosses who are clueless or play like they are clueless. What your bonus is tied to depends on the kind of job you do. When I worked in straight up consulting it was totally based on my billable hours. Now I do the same job but because I work for the...

Thanks, I ordered from Zenni, we'll see how long it takes.

So there was some discussion about this in the something random thread. But I thought I'd start this thread for discussing ordering glasses online. I was going to order some from zennioptical.com. I priced out the glasses for my son and they were like $30 which is great as he lost his $300 ones...

One year later.. Thought I'd share some numbers: EV Miles: 9457 (87%) Gas Miles: 1409 Total Miles: 10866 Equivalent Dollars for ev miles in gas (assuming 33.05MPG and 2.90 for premium): $829 EV Dollars spent (approximate and this assumes I charge only at home though I charge at work so it would...

Black helicopters must have zapped it with a microwave gun. They're on to you.

Saw suicide squad. I liked it. Only 2. Slip Knot as merc mentioned. And one other at the climax which I won't name but you can click the link.

Holy shit dude. That's Trump level shit right there. Super surprising coming from you.

Just get a different power switch (or relocate the existing one) and hook it up to the motherboard and disconnect the problem one. Or hook the reset switch up to the power button one and use that.

Anybody see it? I didn't get a chance this weekend.

And from what I read it was mostly to be used as a cache for data your trying to get closer to the GPU so I'd expect a lot more reads than writes.

They apparently have a system image for my device but it wouldn't let me download it for some reason. I'll have to try again.

Got the laptop. It is impressive. But they loaded the OS on the 1TB hard drive instead of the SSD. Before I image that drive and restore the partition to the SSD, is there any other way I should be approaching this? Perhaps a clean install is called for? Is there a way to easily package all...

Jtr, respectfully, I don't think I bought into the FUD. I own an EV and have practical experience. We basically agree on the range and trips. You're a bit more idealistic regarding the percentages. I wasn't talking about the grid but the practical infrastructure. Chargers and the 60amp 220...

This is a bit of a black and white view. Battery weight / recharge time is really an issue here. There is only so much range that can be equipped in cars. Battery technology improvement doesn't happen that fast, despite hearing of the next big thing every year. It really does take time. The...

I'm just saying take a test drive in sport mode. It will give you the feeling you're after. It feels dangerous. Those 0-60 numbers don't tell the whole story. If you still don't like it, so be it. It sounds like you drive a lot. Range anxiety / charging time would be an issue with the tesla...

Why not consider the volt? They have sport mode if you want to feel the EV torque.

I just ordered this refurbished Dell Precision 7510 model. I'm a little wary of buying it off ebay but I took a shot.

Note this is on sale for $1, so I bought it.

Beware the length of the evening classes. I took number theory and it was like 3 hours. If I had to do it over, I wouldn't have done it like that.

What do you think of the Asus Q534UX Seems exclusive to best buy. That price is about my budget (current rewards amount). I was looking at the lenovo/dell ones that were similar but it seems the upgrades (screen/processor/ram/ssd) ramp up the price fairly quickly, especially the screen. My...

I use Macrium Reflect

SD, Which ideas do you want to debate? I think you'll find we're all probably in agreement on the things that are wrong. We just differ on the proposals on how to solve them. And whether the candidates will actually solve them. Do you really think anyone is in favor of illegal immigration...

So we have an obstructionist congress. What happens if Trump is elected? Rather than blocking democrats we have them fighting each other. Whether that is a good or bad thing, I don't know. Anybody know the actual voter counts for each candidate? I think this will be the real predictor of the...

Today I voted for Bernie.

Spoilers maybe. There isn't much mystery to be solved here. But the one that does need to be solved, what lex is up to, is solved by bruce wayne. So I'd say this criticism isn't really valid. I think humanizing superman is what they did correctly in the first movie and continues in this...

Saw the new batman vs superman movie. It was good. Critics are too critical.

NTFS

Would you believe that occasionally when I restart windows needs to check the filesystem on the data drive? It finds nothing wrong. I blame evil computer gnomes. Maybe a windows 10 install will appease them. And gigabyte has played the keep asking me for info I gave them when I opened the...

I really wish swype had configurable key layouts. The .com thing when entering websites drives me crazy. I need the bigger spacebar. And there are other situations it would be good too.

Probably was remapped to spare memory space. Does it tell you how much of that is left?

Nvidia 6150 LE board with and AMD 64 x2 4000+(2.1Ghz) 4GB of RAM. New SSD. No graphics driver, wondering if I should get a cheap video card for it.

Yes, the end result is an activated copy of windows 10 pro. The basic process is set your computer date back in time, install the tech preview, activate that carefully (no time update), and then install the latest windows 10 build. It basically activates like all the people that installed the...

So this method of installing windows 10 for an xp machine works.

I was sad when I heard this news. I mean integrate it with google photos or something (doesn't it already do that?). But the app will still work. It will be just like if you never signed in to google with it.

They created a TV size tablet... and were declared the winners. Everybody else gave up. Seriously, I think it is a margins game. Google was going to release a 10" one but it ended up being this Pixel C thing.

Found this one on sale for $89.99 so I bought it. Brother DCP-L2540DW (mono)

I didn't buy xm after the 3 month trial when I got the car. I mostly listen to the local radio or my music collection. But their renewal offers are ridiculous. And they've kept calling even after I told them I'm not interested. They're just too expensive. I have no idea how they make money.

The chevy volt has a battery heater. So it keeps the battery at optimal temperature range. The leaf does not and this has led to premature battery degradation in the leaf. You also have to cool the battery. I forget if the volt cools the battery. Yes winter means your range is affected (28-32...
