  1. Personally, I don't think pardoning Hunter is damaging as Trump would have done the same with the Jan 6th defendants, and has actually in 2020 at the end of his first term. I do think Biden is just playing in the Trump playbook, fair is fair I think.

  2. Well, look who is on that panel, one of which is Kari Lake, should be a BIG clue as to where Pierce is at.

  3.  @susandurham2250  Don't forget he still likely has the Oath keepers and the Proud Boys who are some of the most prone to violence and WERE apart of the insurrection, at least those not arrested, let alone indicted. Those could still well be dangerous but I suspect even then, many have had their winds taken out of their sails as far as violent potency.

  4.  @michaelostlie9208  Nope, much too early for Fiat. This Dakota may still be from the Daimler era.

  5. I saw most of it last night live and it, at first did not seem obvious that Tim Walz won, but in the end, he did win. The term my late sister once said for a dog she was not a fan of we once had, was he's smarmy - and that's JD Vance for you. He shifts position whichever way the wind blew. He's definitely too slick and tries to weevil out of everything. The big telling thing for me was his blatant lie about peacefully handing over power, when he glibbly skipped over the insurrection. Vance is adept at this, but he can't help being awkward, stiff, acting as if he does not know how to function in polite society, unlike Walz who can work with all folks with ease.

  6.  @adamhearts9195  Unless you are joking, I'll explain, those little brass screws with threads on the top, those are the standoffs, and they are designed to hold the MB OFF the MB plate in your case, or you will likely short out the MB.

  7. Same here, I have no issues with what Biden has done. Also, due to Trump being Trump, fair is fair.

  8. That's my sentiment exactly, ADHD, while likely also present, may have contributed some, but his narcissistic tendencies were on full display the entire debate and has been for years. I also think he may have some sociopathic tendencies as well, as his father Fred Sr had it, and Mary and Fred the III both sounded the alarm about several folks in the Trump family have mental illnesses. I think I read last year that Don's mother was psychotic or something of the sort. However, didn't even notice his pupils or thought anything was amiss, he was always like this, although I realized later that he did little body movement, let alone the accordion movement of his hands and just gripped the podium hard the whole time and made a bunch of disparaging faces, often wincing, as I was watching him be so cringe worthy.

  9. One reason I think people in the US at least are so fat is the portion sizes, that is, people think they need to eat a lot per sitting. A case in point, I was watching Kenji Lopez Alt do crab cakes, and he had 3 of them made up, one small, one medium and one larger for him, his wife and 3 year old daughter and several people kept saying they'd eat them all in one sitting, but I think they also forget there will be other sides to go along with the crab cakes too. That said, I do find I'm watching my portion sizes, especially when it comes to pasta and rice as both are hypoglycemic. Pasta is not as high as white rice though as it runs a 46, whilst white rice is 64, so keep the portion size to about a cup to a cup and a half of either, but not both at one sitting though. That said, adding protein to either will reduce the hypoglycemic tendency of each, or so I've read and that is often how I eat pasta and rice when eating white rice. I do white and brown, but brown takes longer to cook though.

  10. Also, it was kind of asked in another video related to Trump, but I said that Ivanka may well be his "Golden child", while either Eric and/or Don Jr are his scapegoats.
    15
  11.  @BERNICEMCCOY  Though on one hand, I agree, but unfortunately, sometimes justice grinds much too slow, especially when someone like Trump tries to run out the clock through appeals. But yeah, Trump should have been dumped in jail pending trial to begin with.

  12.  @PoliticalJunky101  Totally agree on all mentioned, what I call, the "old guard", along with Jen Psaki

  14. i noticed that too. I often will grab my butane gas burner and use that to do the more thorough seasoning from time to time as it gets the sides. Otherwise, I use an infrared electric stove on all my pans and just wipe it with a scant bit of oil after most every use. This goes for carbon steel, and cast iron then put it way once cooled enough to easily handle and then cook with it again later on.

  15. I saw Ryan Hall Y'all's stream yesterday and he went live earlier than planned due to the tornadoes that came ahead of the hurricane and several folks were killed/injured just from those, let alone the hurricane itself. Significant flooding in many areas and high winds and for those that say a cat 3 is a nothing burger, it's still pretty significant hurricane. Yes, it did officially hit Cat 5, then dropped to a 4, and 3 by landfall. At that point, still 100+MPH winds. I think with daylight we'll see the extent of the damage first hand and reassessments will begin. Sad a lot of trolls in the comments.

  16. I used to vote republican when I was first voting back in 1983-84 as an 18 year old and I believe I voted for Regan in his second term, sadly, he became a laughing stock as Alzheimer's crept in during his second term, even when the attempted assassination tried to bump him off, but got James Brady instead, injuring him badly. Then in the 90's, my late father, a retired AF major (retiring in 1970/71) and I were at McChord near the BX and had been discussing politics and were both frustrated at both parties, the Dems for rolling over too easily and allowing the Repubs to walk all over them, and the repubs for being bullies to the dems. Mind you, this was nothing to what we are experiencing now and it was then that we all, mother included decided to go Democrat, and that's how I've been voting since then. As for this election (which is tomorrow as I type this on Monday morning Nov 4th), I believe that the polls to be a very, very rough guide to what might be the outcome of the election and as Claire pointed out, last minute decisions and I also think many may not be honest to themselves about whom they are voting for, but some may find that in the wake of late last week when Trump threatened Liz Cheney by having a firing squad point guns at her face that some may find that they just can't pull the trigger on Trump at the very last moment. As a result, the so called tight race could not be as tight as polls show due to the answers folks give the pollsters and some of that can be wildly off due to untruthful responses from folks being polled. That said, I don't think it'll be a blow out either for Harris/Walz, but I DO think she will win, but it might not be as close as it seems now, based on the polls. We will only know once votes are tallied, beginning tomorrow and over the next couple of days. For the record, voted all blue down the ballot, and that includes Harris/Walz.

  17. Agree with some of the comments in this sub thread in that the drivers (that is the delivery drivers) do make a decent-ish wage. Back when I worked for Domino's almost 40 years ago (began there in 1984), you could make $3.50/Hr+gas reimbursement (at .21 a mile) and tip, and you'd be making closer to $5.00/Hr when all said and done. In those days, most of the drivers were FT, and often worked a good 40Hr Wk, sometimes more when staff at a shop was short, which could happen due to illness, weather etc or simply super busy. By early 1986, I was let go due to my driving record at that time, thanks to the 30 minute guarantee. In those days, automation was not a thing at the franchise I worked at and we had electric or gas stone lined ovens, so no conveyor ovens, you used a peel to insert the pizzas on wire screens, rotated them on occasion, and then pulled them out and slipped them into a box that was already folded. In those days, the 30 minute guarantee was still in effect, but it was different than what it is now in that a driver can take I take several pizzas, with cokes and try to hit up to 3, I think residences in the 30 minute guarantee, that is, the clock began when we hung up so adding in the pie making, baking and then deliver all in 30 minutes. Drivers would then have to blow lights, stop signs etc and too many accidents, lawsuits etc ensued and by I think 1986-87, the company had to drop the 30 minute guarantee due to that. It did wreck my driving habits at the time. I understand it's back, but now the delivery area per shop is smaller than I think they were in my day, and the guarantee is now done differently, and is safer than it once was. But agree, it was a grind for the drivers especially as some of us got to help with making pizzas, answering phones, fill the coke cups (strictly coke) and place into coke caddies, and hand wash stuff in the back, and help refill the bins for the pizza line. When I was to close, often didn't get out until 3am as everything had to be washed and stacked to dry. As for the quality of the pies, they were never anything special back in the 80's, and I have always found other pies better overall and their quality, such as it was, did slip for a while.

  18.  @undeniablySomeGuy  Unfortuantely many of those induction burners are not full sized, at best are actually 8" in diameter so do not fully heat the pan across the bottom.

  19. Indeed! Even I knew the word "shit" as early as 4th grade, and we just didn't say things like that in our family. Mind you, that was in the mid 70's and I uttered the word under my breath and my classmate heard it and told the principle who knew my parents and I got my mouth washed out with soap once home from school. Back in the days of when one had consequences to stuff like that from one's parents most likely. Mind you, I don't recall HOW I learned the "dirty word" in the first place, but I still utter it even now on occasion.

  24.  @twain3074  I would not be surprised. From what I've read about narcs, she may eventually go no contact to be rid of daddy, but may have to do it for one or both brothers as if they are the scapegoat, either of them may end up Narcs themselves if not mistaken. I lean more on Don Jr than Eric for the likelihood.

  25. Totally agree with everything you've said. As one who does not have an average IQ, but did get some college in years ago, struggled in school, barely graduated HS and voted for Regan in my first election as an 18 year old, and later in either the late 80's, or early 90's we decided to go Democratic, rather than Republicans due to how the Republican party was then, riding roughshod over the Democratic party, and the Dems at that point in time, allowed it as they rolled over and let the Republicans run over them. I'm also neurodivergent and can see through most BS and saw Trump for who/what he is as he's clearly coming across as a petulant man-child of about 8 in an adult body, but a lot of the rhetoric he's been coming up with, like Project 2025 could very well be red herrings (hope so). I do see Jen's point that the Democratic party spoke over most folks heads, though to be fair, I don't think Kamala, nor Tim did so much, but the rest of the party, outside of Jamie Raskin and a few others, but the overall message was, white, upper class, college educated and not to the majority of working class, middle class folks and thus, failed to connect. I voted for Harris/Walz, BTW as I didn't trust, let alone can't stand Trump, so there is that, let alone Vance and his weirdness. Agree, time to self reflect and then figure out what is next and begin the blow back/push back and start the slow process to right the ship to keep it from sinking into the abyss.

  28. If anything, Biden may have had cold medicine as I later heard he came down with a cold. From experience, if you take both the daytime and nighttime stuff, you will be drugged up and possibly drowsy, just trying to relieve the stuffiness and congestion. Then later, I realized his stepping down on his own terms was probably a good thing, knowing his age, but he was not in cognitive decline like Trump appears to be in.

  29. I don't think he's adding clickbait, but rather is GOADING those that claim his titles are clickbait when they're not.

  31. That was my thought too.

  32. A lot of it comes down to trying to be politically correct and often failing at it, also trying to be bleeding heart liberals and failing at it too. I do not take any of that BS myself, nor conspiracy theories. I'm also not normally brained so see things differently than the norm. BTW, I'm of similar age (60) so understand many of the older ways.

  33. LOL...

  34.  @deborahplasencia1833  Yep, was about to say the same. Early on, I saw through Vance and his flip flopping. He seems to put his wet finger to the wind, and notes which way it's blowing, and moves in that direction. Of course, I say that all figuratively but it's what he does though and that's almost as bad as Trump's likely never officially diagnosed malignant narcissism.

  35. @Mar-sadia As a neurodivergent person, I can see through most of this, but many normal folks can't. He may be intelligent, but likely not smart enough to realize it's all a lie.

  36.  @MikeY77z28  I think he may well take this advice. A lot of the time, when folks complain about so and so while watching, it's already done, they are just yapping into the wind at that point. They forget the delay effect of video production whereby by the time it's view here, it's been shot/performed a day or 3 prior. It kind of looks like he may have seen, read a comment or something prior to this Pt 2 as that last bolt came out much easier than prior bolts on this truck.

  37. Likely the LP seen was a reissue from 1974, even if it was initially issued in the 60's.

  38. Need to make one, small correction. When you say where there is little to no rain, than say, the west coast. Not true if you live in Oregon or Washington, on the west side of both states as it's often raining much of the time from October through early April before it begins to lessen up and dry out, which is only from late June/early July through early October. So flat roofs do not always do well here. Even in SoCal where it does not rain a lot, the roofs bake in the sun for days on end, and you won't know if it's potentially leaking until it actually rains. There is a college not too far from where I live that was initially built in 1965, with subsequent buildings built in the next few years afterwards in the same, original Mansard Roof style. Some have been torn down and replaced with new, better designed buildings, others have been added onto (the library building, which was originally built in 1967) and others are much newer, and of those that were of the original set of buildings (built between 1965-1971 or so) several have been torn down and rebuilt and the college has also expanded with additional buildings since then, but none match the original Mansard style, and for good reason. Roof issues with many of them, and thus were forced to tear down and rebuild. One recently was torn down as it had the roof redone a few years back, only to begin leaking again 2-3 years ago, so it became short term storage and last year, was down down to make way for a new building. All were/are single story, but all the newer structures are 3-4 stories, some with basements but took in our inclement weather in mind, especially during fall through early spring. Early on, without gutters, down spouts, it was a muddy mess due to rain pouring off the roofs through drain channels around the roof perimeter, pouring with gusto to the dirt below whenever it rains.

  45.  @Darxide23  Yeah, I can see that, but reading up on all that is considered for Autism, there is a lot to it and they all share some of the traits, that is especially true for the brain and how it has more neurons than most neurotypicals tend to have. That said, very high functioning, and I mean, what would be considered borderline Asperger types may not need to mask nearly as much in daily life as others on the spectrum, thus may not get diagnosed as readily, which was more likely for older folk now in their 40's and up, but still struggle mightily in many ways to this day, which can affect how we get/keep work for starters.

  46.  @yuki-sakurakawa  Yep, I worked for Domino's back in the mid 80's and later at the old spaghetti factory in 1997 in two different cities, same state and both times, had to have a food handling permit. This being the US mind you.

  47. Having used both 10, and 11, I have no issues with either. If you are having issues with snooping from Microsoft, then turn off all the settings deal with snooping, such as turn off your webcam, microphone etc. Currently, I have both Pro and Home on 2 computers. Pro is on my desktop, but for some reason, my Dell Latitude laptop has Home. Both were purchased refurbished within the year. I have run most flavors of Windows, from Windows 3.1 through 11, minus ME, outside of the 2-3 times I borrowed a buddy's PC when at his house, Likely not run Win 2000, NT, 8, or 8.1, but have run everything else and have not has any usage issues with any of them. Vista was OK, slow and power hungry, but OK, as long as you ran the 64 bit version. XP was great, The little I've run of 7 was fine, liked 10/11 better than 7 IMO.

  50. I'm old enough to remember before the internet where if you wanted to do a deep dive in something, you had to go to your local library, sometimes to look things up online via Wois, among other services, but mostly to utilize the library and its card catalogs (remember those?), the Microfiche machines (also, remember those?) and of course, at times you had to go to a basement to use the stacks, or at our library, you could go down and be in the stacks and there were tables to use, now a dumb waiter can bring up the stuff to the patron but the staff had access to the basement stacks and would bring stuff up to the front counter. Now, I can access all that online through the library's online website, including image archives. I've used these archives a lot of late for several video projects where history is the main subject, as in, seeing photos of my old community I grew up in with images going back 50+ years. Some of these were also pulled from the community's historical site for many photos. For project on the history of Christmas lights, I utilized much of the image archives at the library online and just spent time recently adding attributes and resizing for later editing. Also, being autistic, I'm more prone to do these deep dives, even if it meant heading to the library in the physical sense to gain access to historical materials. What I DO see a lot is folks not using their brains and ask questions that in many cases, a few minutes online could have gotten them the answer they were seeking easily enough. Also, common sense does seem to be lacking and scamming, while older than the hills, seems to have become much more prevalent than it used to, and most normal folks seem much more prone to fall for them, rather than critically thinking, which is something many schools are failing to teach folks. The blame is many and from many corners so no one component is at fault, but a myriad of faults that seem to be in collusion to making critical thinking be a thing of the past for many folks. The computer is not to blame, but CAN make it easier for some folks to turn off their brain than to use it for some tasks.

  51.  @larryc1616  HIPPA is about protecting private information, such as names, SSN, address etc, and medical records, unless the person says it's OK. Working mail services, had to deal with it as I was often having to open mail and determine where it's to be sent to as the sender did not indicate what department, so death certificates go to claims for instance. That document has pertinent info on the deceased, so it falls under HIPPA.

  52. @ In some ways, I am the same way, though I live and grew up out on the west coast (western Washington) where at times we lean too liberal for our own good, so see things from that perspective and what we have now is a glut of the homeless as a result, California, Oregon and Washington are glutted with them at the moment, and agree, a lot of it stems from social media. I see normal folks being too readily accepting of things at face value without critical thinking of the whys, the where's and the hows.

  56.  @goober69er  Not when you go to the riot WITH a gun, with intent to use it it isn't. Now, I'm not saying the 3 guys Kyle shot were innocent, they were at the riot, causing mayhem, so they are just as guilty, regardless of the reason, even if that reason is "justified". Years ago, after doing some research for a class about being radical and rioting as it pertained to the Vietnam war, it's been proven largely riots do not work as intended, and when it does work, it's short lived as all it really seems to do is drive a wedge further into society. Mind you, in very limited ways, rioting is a way to invoke a change, but not the way to do it.

  59. One area where you should upgrade is the OS itself, that is, if you want to go online, most browsers will not support non supported OS'. That is, they force you to use an older, outdated version of say, Firefox.Only one browser will work with a modern version is Opera, but I've had issues getting it to download, let alone work in XP. Thus, the old eMachines I was using as a media server of sorts, eventually got scrapped as of last year. The PC was old enough to run, not just a Celeron (I had upgraded it to a P4 in 2012), but also ran IDE drives but no longer had a working copy of XP on disc and what was on the drive was not working correctly by bringing up a sign in prompt when I had no password setup. I also had to upgrade from Vista when my old Dell Studio XPS from 2009 took a dump in 2019 by a failing hard drive, Windows 10, and now 11, so what's the big issue? I'm not as bad about change as I once was, but I still don't like change for changes sake, but don't mind if change is needed when what you'd been using simply does not work anymore.

  61.  @filmpjesman1  The problem is, you are trading one source for another as the electricity you USE to use that stove can come from FUEL, be it gas, or coal. Not so bad if it is hydro based (water), but the NE is not known for that much, most of their electricity comes from gas or coal (used to), or nuclear when it was not as controversial as it is now here in the US. Think on THAT for a bit. I have an electric glass top and it was NOT my choice, came with the house, with exception of the shitty wall furnace from Williams that is gas, the rest of the ENTIRE house is electric, and is the bulk of my utility bill during the winter months, and part of that is for cooking, and heating (three electric baseboard heaters, 2 in bedrooms, one in the laundry porch and does not work). The rest is with either LED or fluorescent lighting. Now, mind you, I live where hydro is king (Pac NW) so it's not as bad, and if the power DOES go out, then I can't even cook but do have a single burner gas burner (butane) that I can use and my grill, when I have gas for it. The big issue is not the gas, but the LACK of ventilation. I have NONE in my unrenovated kitchen from the 1920's and when I try to reverse sear a steak say, or cook in a wok, I can set off the smoke alarm, and it's at the FRONT of the house (kitchen is in the back of the house) and that IS the issue I think, more than gas in and of itself.

  63.  @andyndanaemcburney122  Vance is smarmy, and one to not let our eyes off of, in some ways, he may be worse than Trump ever could be. He was schooled by Peter, who is an extremist right winger and I've seen Vance shift when the direction of the wind changes if it suits him better. After last Friday's shit show with Zelenskyy, I have even less faith in him than I did before then.

  64.  @Epic_Badger69  Nope, Zelenskyy had the upper hand, the whole time. Those 2 clowns we have for pres/VP are a disgrace.

  66.  @PSWX-do4wj  Well, to be fair to President Biden, we did not expect things to turn out like they did at the time he said it, but the situation is totally different now and I still say, he did the right thing, knowing how things will likely go if Trump makes it to office. There seems to be things afoot to keep him from succeeding.

  68.  @laysdong  I disagree to some extent, this was a riot got god's sake, and it happened during unrestfull times, That said, why was Rittenhouse there with a gun to begin with?, That said, I don't either parties were innocent in this matter, both were guilty, the dead for being there to loot etc, Rittenhouse knew this was going down and it was no self defense.

  69. Agree, Eric O has his wife, Watch Wes Work has his wife to run the books, etc while he works on cars, same with Eric. So needless to say, the family unit is involved in the business. Eric just redid his shop I think last year or in 2020, more like a facelift to the exterior and freshening up the main office and Vanessa has her kitchen to fix lunches etc. I do recall Eric complaining about the internet randoms that call his shop and do not understand boundaries.

  73. You must be a troll. They did up building codes a number of years ago for hurricanes as was the entire building code for the entire country, based on areas where major weather typically take place. Where things fall down is older buildings not upgraded to newer codes and being on/near major coasts/waterways

  76. Hey nice! I live here, though not in the hoods you went to, like Hilltop, Lincoln, McKinley Hill and the Eastside. I live in what is known as the Central District, a mostly white working class area, that also happens to be very convenient to the freeway and the 6tth Ave business district. Agree with others down below that this town, which has been an industrial town in its past, and may still be in some ways, still reflects is past with a lot of blue collar/working class folks, middle to upper middle class and richer folks up in the north end but in the 80's, this town was riddled badly with mostly the Bloods and Crips that came up from California, invading Hilltop and I one evening while at school for evening classes at Bates downtown, saw a drug deal, out in the open on the corner by the main entrance to the school itself in I think fall of 1988. Tacoma as a whole is much better now than it used to be and for a very long time, I hated this place and so wanted to get out of this place, to quote the Animals. I eventually moved to Seattle in 1996, moved out in 2016 back here to buy my house in Central and have come to reconcile this town for what it is these days and have come to love it and appreciate what it has to offer. Through the print screen feature, Photoshop and zooming in greatly to barely read the street signs, I was able to find the Min Grocery you show in this video, thanks to Google Earth. :-) You went past East wise, an architectural salvage place and Portland Ave Nursery, been to both of those a couple of years ago. Agree, a lot of work needs to be done with the homeless, even Seattle has that bad now too.

  77.  @nighteule  What you are saying is all true, but one fact I forgot to mention is that the electric grid as it is now is fragile here in the US and may be on the precipice of failing completely as we continue to move to electric everything, and if it fails, then what, unless you have a generator or have solar that you can continue to use when the power is out, THAT factor alone is not the answer to blindly ditch fossil fuels completely. Until induction can work on a wide range of pans like a wok well and manufacturers make the elements big enough to cover the entire pan bottom, warping is going to be prevalent, I have radiant glass top and yes, pans warp, even my cast iron pan warped when I cooked on calrod (it's my Mom's vintage 10" skillet from the 50's I believe). Also, to get wok hei at home, need a small torch (can be had for oh, $20 or so) and use it to generate that wok hei. Also, in many jurisdictions, the wires are still overhead wiring (like it is here) and I live in an old neighborhood that is mostly working class, fortunately, the electric here has only gone out a half dozen times for short periods in the past nearly 7 years I've lived here. At the moment, I do run 2 window air conditioners at times during the summer and unlike California, Washington St has not had the brownouts or had to force people to run certain appliances at certain times when demand is lower so there is that. I am thinking of ditching my gas furnace (a Williams wall furnace that's old) for a heat pump mini split when I can afford it and maybe move to a gas stove as I have it, might as well use it, right?

  78. the thing is, Jack Smith has barely been on the job since right before Thanksgiving but has read the documents of the case already so we may see things ramp up here shortly, but likely has had to see what the criminal charges are, as well as the J6 committee's recommendations are first. We know Bragg's case sent down 17 counts to the Trump Organization as in being guilty and Latishia James' cases may well prevent Trump from running a business in NY ever again.

Go look again at it, there is a coiled wire that is clipped to her jacket that goes to a wireless transmitter and is part of the production headset. This way, she can here instructions, likely also the audio if needed. It's not a hearing aid. I wear a hearing aid and it's made to amplify sounds for us hard of hearing. To be frank, Kamala is ONLY 59.

If they'd just listen to what's going on out there, they'd find out all kinds of things about both Kamala and Tim, and about the orange scurge and just make a decision. I'm older, Gen X, first wave and did not vote for Trump in 2016, nor in 2020 (went for Biden) and now Harris/Walz. My ballot is supposed to land in my mailbox today so will get my vote in by the end of the weekend.

  87.  @legionofanon  That's what I was thinking too. Doing what Ray did there will get 90%, if not more out, but not completely all of it. Just run it, the rest will evaporate as it runs, then get it home, drain the oil, run fresh in it about 200 miles or so, then replace with fresh and a set of new plugs and you should be good to go, especially if the motor remains strong and does not smoke or anything else.

  90. Unfortunately, need to know if the new device can handle the old sim card. Many modern phones now use smaller sized sims, and some features available now were not available when the old sim card was in use, so I have had to get new ones, but you can have the information from the old one transferred to the new one fairly easily.

  92. Agree with Leo here, way too many conspiracies out there on Windows. I've used most versions of Windows going back to 3.1, That includes 95/98/xp/Vista, some 7/10, and 11. 11 came by default when I had to replace my aging 4th gen i5 box unexpectedly in late 2023 with a 7th gen i5 box with 11 already installed, yes, refurbished. My older 4th gen was the same when I bought that in 2019. 10, 11, mostly the same, some changes like control panel changed in 10 but not enough of a change to make much of a difference in use for me. So what's the gripe? I am now on a home brew box, based on the Core 7 Ultra, Z890 chipset motherboard and DDR5 memory, running Windows 11 Pro. I took my key from my retail copy of 10 and just used it to get 11 so no need to pay for 11 for this build, and yes, it's activated and works fine. Some versions of Windows will readily blue screen as it's an all or nothing proposition, earlier variants were like this, but ever since they made it so you can just shut down an individual program that crashed, and carry on, it's gotten better, along with being capable of multitasking, it's been fine, all of it from a useage standpoint. I, like Leo don't see what the fuss is all about. Is Microsoft ideal? No. It's wanting to snoop, but you CAN turn stuff off if you want/need to, won't affect your ability to use Windows. Why so difficult with making the switch and believing conspiracy theories is beyond me.

  93. I largely agree, change for changes sake, not so much, but change that truly improves a product yes, I'm all for it. Let's take Windows for instance, I've used most versions over the years, going back to Windows 3.1, 3.11 for Workgroups, Windows 95/98/SE, dabbled in ME/2000, XP, Vista (64), Win 7 (some), skipped 8/8.1Windows 10 and 11. Some definitely better than others, ME was alright but nothing special, XP, excellent, Vista, not nearly as bad as some made it out to be, though to be honest, I think likely the 64 bit version being better than the 32 bit variant (more stable, less BSOD's), 10/11 I find to be more or less equal. Sometimes, the changes made within a version while it's in support are nebulous and require a bit of research to find them when moved can be annoying or removed all together as well but overall, I migrate from one version to another without too much difficulty.

  95. Totally agree with Leo here, have done much the same over time. I began this over 30 years ago when I got my first machine, a 386 in 1994. To be frank, not good at backing up (would have save me mucho time later when I had to restore or upgrade). Fortunately, I have a memory like an elephant for many things and have actually lost very little data over time fortunately. I've had hard drives die on me, including on infamous ceramic platter drive from IBM. Platter dust caused sticktion with the heads and thus the drive would not always readily spin up so clue was My Documents would not always stay active. That was in 2001 IIRC. Currently, gathering the parts for a new build and will have to do this again. Best to reinstall all software from scratch, install a fresh copy of your OS as the specs for one PC change how the OS/software installs, and thus will be different on another machine and no real way to guarantee its functionality on the new machine. Now, if you are simply reinstalling on the same machine, but on a new drive, then a full image backup copied over is all you need. Once the new PC is up and running I have GOT to go through all the drives and sort/clean them all out so I can find stuff. Stuff gets moved around, shuttled from one drive to another as far as my data/files go and it's gotten difficult to find stuff. It's been needing to be done for a long time and been putting it off, so this year, not going to put off and just get it done one afternoon.

  98. Not a gamer, but am a content creator. So for me, it's been Intel, and am building a new PC based on Intel Core Ultra CPU and just today, picked up the Intel Alchemist A770, wanted B580 but they are so elusive at the moment. Only Micro Center has them, but not available online, gotta go into a store to get one, and I live in a state where they do not exist (yet). So the A770 it is for 4K video. Being that I multitask as this is also my main PC, I do research etc on it when not editing so it has 65GB of DDR5 memory. Since it's the new Core Ultra, it requires a MB that has the new socket (1851) and chipset (Z890) and DDR5 memory, which is 6400/CL 30. At one time, had considered the Ryzen 7 but ended up back with Intel. I run now a 7th gen i5 processor in a Dell SFF Optiplex and it does OK, not great in anything productivity wise.

  99.  @colchronic  To clarify, when two dissimilar metals are connected directly like for instance, plumbing, galvanized pipes connected directly to copper, galvanic corrosion. It's when a metal that is incompatible meets another metal, accelerated corrosion results and in a few years, leaks can appear in the case of plumbing. That's what's been discovered in my house, and was likely done when the bathroom was redone in 2009.

  101.  @EB-bl6cc  I disagree, splaying the fingers anywhere near a sharp blade is a recipe for disaster and this is especially true if the blade is not sharp, which is more common than you think for the amateur cook. Even I tend to use the claw and have come close recently to nipping the end of a finger as they get close to the blade and I've been doing the claw for a good while, but I'm also older (late 50's) so my coordination may not be as good as it once was to begin with. And I find I have better control of the food while cutting using the claw too. It has less to do with the "proper" technique than it is for safety.

Yes, I'm gay and would love it if we had a gay VP, but I see that as a bonus, not a definitive trait to have, but a nice to have, and agree, can't deny he's an eloquent speaker and holds his ground very well against just about everybody he has to respond to on the right. He just makes total sense.

  104. No. HDD (physical mechanical drives) are much better at keeping things for a long time than current SSD drives as they only retain memory if there is power to them, or periodically plug them in to retain memory. Best to just use them on the daily. Mechanical drives are best for long term storage, and for stuff you don't need to access that often, but need to keep. Yes, they will suffer from disc rot, eventually, but drives that have not operated in years, can still access stuff written to them decades ago and have not been used in a long time in many cases, but they will eventually fail, grease/oil dries out etc. Hope this helps clarify things.

  105.  @Ziegfried82  Yep. Not that I have flat roofs, but the college near me has them (built in the Mansard roof style popular in the mid to late 60's, if not the early 70's) and they have had problems with them, I think from the beginning when original campus was built in 1965, so now nearly 60 years old. The architect should have known this as he's done at least one other building in the area that did get an award in the 50's. The area, Puget Sound where it rains a lot during the fall/early spring and not only did he used flat roofs, but he also used rain channels, instead of pipes so when it would rain, the rain would pout out of the openings and onto the ground, creating muddy puddles where there was no pavement, which was more the case when the campus was still fairly new. Several of the buildings have been torn down and rebuilt, others repurposed etc over time as the campus expanded. From the get go, it was a bad design by the fact that it was not built for our region and its weather.

That said, I have a comorbidity of sorts, CRS (congenital Rubella Syndrome) by being born a prenatal Rubella baby in 1965, 4 years before the Rubella vaccine came along, and 6 years before the MMR vaccine.

  109. First off, love Jen Psaki, she is one smart cookie. As for Biden, my feeling is that a bad showing, once does not make it so. The best thing is to look at how Biden does on the day to day. Even Obama had one bad showing at a televised debate, yet, he still won. So the best is do a wait and see. I think it's a fool's errand to make a rash, quick decision over what is often considered a one off performance. That said, WE need to not reelect Trump back into office. At the end of the day, with both candidates, their age is definitely a potential liability, but I find Biden's is less worrisome than Trump's due to the fact that I'd rather have Kamala Harris become our president, should Biden were to die while in office. Trump's running mate, whomever it may be, can, and is likely to be just as evil and will work to take down America should Trump pass while in office. I'd rather have Biden and end up with Kamala as president to finish out the term at the very least. But as has been said before, WE the people are now the front line to ensuring our democracy is saved (or not), Biden and others can help out, but we are it if we want to keep our country free.

  113. Having looked at this car, while itself a nice looking ride as far as body style goes, and one of the better looking GM vehicles of the period, this one requires way more than it appears to need at first glance. I think the ONLY saving grace here is the frame hasn't been totally rotted out, in fact, it's still largely intact and solid, the body, not so much. Being that it began life as a local car to Bradenton area, then up in Michigan, it's got rust from both top and bottom. Top from being exposed to the salt air if it's been on the beaches enough times or has lived ON the beach for a while, but not well kept rinsed over time. Then it's been salted among the bottom side by being in the rust belt before coming back here. It almost requires a clean total body replacement, seeing how rotted out the windshield is, and the bubbling/rust showing on other parts of the roof and A pillars. Likely some of the upper structure may be compromised. Anyway, would be good to know the outcome of this one. It's a cool car I agree. Totally agree, the car likely has 170+K and smoking and badly leaking from many orifices. BTW, love your descriptions and word usage, not to mention your goofy sense of humor.

  116.  @JohnWilliams-wr3pc  Yup, had that happen to my Mazda P5 back in the summer of '12, thankfully, no damage other than the thermostat itself needing to be replaced. Chooched along fine until the nipple to the upper hose came off, I JB welled that back together and that lasted a while longer until the hose would not stay on the upper bib, so at that point, the radiator got replaced, and yep, the car began to overheat, but what saved the say was running the heat full blast so the heater core took some of the pressure off the main radiator, and that saved my motor. Still drive that car some 10 later with 193K+ miles on the clock and it still runs fine. As you say, when the thermostat closes, it'll spew out of any orifice it'll find, that means where hoses get clamped to the motor etc and that's what happened when I opened my hood when the car overheated that first time in 2012.

  119. When I worked IT at a 2 year college, they did the 3 pass wipe of the drives. This is due to they often get reused in computers sent to surplus as boot boxes only, no OS or anything, just a wiped drive. For computers not heading to either scrap or surplus, wiped drives may be put in and then reimaged for use for another employee. This is most likely to not just a single format, but may add in a random character(s) as well so NO critical info can be found on the drives, once the computer leaves the campus for surplus. Similar is done when a drive is to be disposed of, drill or hammer the drive so it can't be used, especially if it no longer works (at that time, 2 or so years ago, mechanical drives were still in use). I think these days if SSD drives are used, they just break them when they are to be disposed of, or as said, they do the full wipe and then sell the surplus PC/laptop with an empty SSD.

  123. One thing to be aware of is some software may cause Windows to crash, or the software itself crashes due to a conflict say in windows. The software (or driver) is often not Windows fault (unless it's generic drivers for many third party devices where they get it from the manufacturer). At that point, as Leo says, it's out of MS's hands. A good example is your graphics card may cause issues with Windows, blame the card manufacturer for the interface/driver, not Microsoft for the issue. Due to a wide range of products that can run in Windows, things will happen that are not Microsoft's fault. I've run most variants of Windows going back to Windows 3.1 and have had no issues with any of them as far as usage goes. I do welcome improvements, such as being able to multitask (couldn't do so initially due to where the development was with Windows, and PC's to start with). So getting your panties in a bunch does not serve you well at all. Just learn to roll with it and move on, and as long as Microsoft can take care of the more egregious bugs that affect more than 1% of users, or prevents the software to running correctly, leave it be. Also, sometimes your device is just bad and causing vexing issues with the OS.

  124.  @eugenetswong  I am pretty cognizant of that even if I cook for myself as it's a good habit to get into whether you cook for yourself, or for others, so I have a bin in my drawer by the stove just for this. It's old spoons that came from various old silverware sets over the years, most came from my late mother when she kept them near her stove. I keep extra forks, serving sized spoons and knives hear the stove for other tasks where you need to quickly scramble/beat an egg, or spread something on bread for a sandwich.

  128.  @MaximC  Actually not quite true. You DO need to season it again, but the more you use it, the more the seasoning will improve overall, but if it looks dry, then slick it down with a tiny bit of oil while still warm from drying on the stove. Cast iron holds onto the seasoning better than carbon steel, but both are very good to use (I have both). In fact, I used my 11" DeBuyer carbon steel skillet last night to cook up a chicken thigh for a chicken sandwich and put in plenty of oil to fry it in until about 180-ish. The thigh did not stick, not once.

  129.  @ezgolf1764  If not mistaken, you don't reduce the pasta water, just boil your pasta as usual, then add it to a saute pan (a 3" tall straight sided pan), that has had bacon or prosciutto cooked in it, then you add the pasta, meat, egg, and a splash or two of pasta water and the cheese and stir, then add the freshly cracked pepper, that's it in a nutshell. At least that's how I do it, and I think Kenji Lopez-Alt does it siimurely.

Because he was talking about multiple LP sets of the 60's and not being familiar with this particular LP, I assumed it might've been a reissue, when in fact, it's a US pressing, not sure if original or not as London is used here in the US, Decca in most of Europe, thanks to Discogs, though it may still be a reissue, but a later issue, perhaps from the late 70's or early 80's, assuming it was issued that long.

  136. I'd say, that's all you can hope until one gets out there to investigate. When this story was being filmed, it was still very early and the sun had not risen so one had no way of knowing the extent of the damage just yet.

  138. I'd say, a little research on your part would have been wise. The 2 comments below say pretty much the same thing, your PC is fine, outside of the CPU, and even that challenge is not insurmountable for the end user to circumvent. A case in point, I bought 2 refurbished computers, one a 7th gen Core i5 processor in the small form factor Dell Optiplex desktop last fall, and it was already upgraded to Windows 11 Pro. Today, bought an 8th gen Core i5 based laptop that was upgraded to Windows 11. Both came with SSD drives, the desktop an NVME based M.2 drive, the laptop is SATA based M.2 and both came kitted with 16GB of DDR4 RAM. While not for the overall long haul, they will more than suffice for the next couple of years at least and both cost less than $250 each.

  139.  @level1804  Agree as Ray has just gotten it, and left it at stock settings. Obviously, it's not an action cam as it actually has a focus apparatus, but leaving it in auto can be an issue as some cameras may not respond quickly enough, nor can they keep focus and just wonder. So it may take time to figure it out, and get it set right. Even many action cams have settings that will allow you to get the best out of them and videos are out there for many cameras on just what to set yours to, to get the best out of it.

I think they are waiting to see how she handles this, or doesn't. As others have said, luck of the draw, but it's also a test for her.

  142. Yep indeed. Both of mine are vintage and have no enamel on the lip of the lid, nor the pot itself.

  143. Yep. When I worked at T-Mobile as a third party contractor a few years back, many of the people that worked for the company rarely got south of Seattle/Bellevue so really don't know much about anything south of Tukwilla. I'm a native of University Place, but know Tacoma proper quite well and now live here in the Central area. I think this stigma may still exist, but it's getting better here. Now to reduce some of the rights the nefarious souls seem to get and assist the tax paying base of residents more, it'd be a lot better. This is largely the fault of city Gov't but definitely agree, it's nothing like it was in the 80's.

  145. As far as talking fast, a lot of that is in the editing, he removed any and all gaps in breaths etc. I find that TOO fast if you ask me. Hard to soak up the info when it zips by so fast. That said, I have the Dewalt tool only blower that he tests here (the 722B) as I have Dewalt drill/impact set I bought in 2016 and the 2 1.8Ah batteries and charger were a part of that kit to get going to start with, and with some extra funds, bought the 5Ah battery a few months later and it's quite decent for cleaning up after mowing the front yard as I can clean the sidewalk and my walkway without issue.

I don't know if Eric O was the first, but he's the first I've heard do that, and even now, he barely does it anymore, and when he does, he simply makes the sound, or uses an actual torque wrench. It was him that I first heard of this, then other mechanics began to follow suit, or so it seems, and I personally think it's over used now.

  149.  @GaisaSanktejo  I think that USED to be the case for the large part. Just don't go for the less expensive SSD drives, like the 120GB models, go with a 500GB version (or larger), they can be had for $50-ish bucks on sale from some good, name brand models, however, the Samsung EVO series will be a bit more but still a reasonable $70 for the same capacity on sale. That's about what I paid for the $500GB EVO 870 SSD that's in my old Dell Optiplex 9020. Longevity is I think improved as well and MOST spinners will last you on average, 3-5 years. I had a Western Digital 500GB spinner that began dropping sectors at 10 years and it was corrupting the OS and it got to where I could not go a proper boot partition as disc part was corrupted. I bring this up as the Patriot Burst 120GB SSD that came with the PC (picked up refurbished with Windows 10 Pro) got to 70% and began to slow the PC down to the point that it was unusable. Most drives now aren't as bad, with new features to reduce the slow downs for SSD's, but Spinners will not make up the access speeds of a good SSD (internal, direct SATA or MVME, with MVME being faster still).

  150. That's a good way to go when it comes to YT. I watch it all the time, but am very selective about what I watch. If you go just by the posts on Trump (for or against) is a good example. I scroll through the recommendations by YT, and read the title of the recommended video, right now, a lot of push back (or seems anyway) against Trump but meanwhile, no one is putting him in jail and letting the whole thing with him being president commence, so I DO hope the videos that proclaim pushback that could stop Trump materialize, but then again, posts that show they possibly are for him, I just move on past. It now takes being a critical thinker, sadly, it's becoming not a thing for many folks. I'm old enough to have learned how to be critically thinking and not take stuff at face value. Also, I think being neurodivergent helps.

  153. In 1980 when that clip was taped (literally, on magnetic tape as digital didn't become a consumer thing until 2 years or so later), I was still in the 9th grade and if memory serves, went Republican as both parents were. Over time, we migrated to the left and went mostly Democrat and that decision was in the early 90's and we have not looked back, but I recall the earliest discussion with my now late father many years ago while out at McChord AFB one day we were in the car as we were out doing some errands, with Mom maybe in the BX but I recall we had a talk and while we both disliked what the Dem's were doing (no backbone), we still felt they were better than the Republicans as they were at that time, running roughshod over the Dem's. That was around the time we switched. Fast forward to 2007, we've had the Dot com rise and bust, then the housing rise and its fall, then I recall driving home from work one day, Jerry Falwell Sr had just died and I was listening to NPR's Evening Edition on the radio when the announcement that Jerry Sr had just died and the host saying he gave rise to the Christian right (Evangelicals and Fundamentalists) and the Republican party fell into bed with them 40 years earlier (1977 or so). The party has now gotten much worse. Lauren Beabert has got it all wrong when she claims the left is authoritarian, when in fact, it's the right that is authoritarian, the left is totalitarian. Both political extremes have the same goals (to rule the world), but go at it differently, but with the same goal in mind, The left through atheism, the right through the Christian Evangelicals but in the end, do it MY way or the highway with no compromises (Fundamentalism, with Evangelicals at least willing to compromise, some). These days, I consider myself a centrist that does lean more left than right. But absolutely abhor the extremes on either political side. Just need to have read both Animal Farm and 1984 to see exactly that. BTW, recall Dessert Storm/shield wars and the draw down. I distinctly recall seeing the videos of the war while jobs here at home were hard to come by. I never liked either Bushes, but young George "Dubya" was likely the dimmest bulb in the Bush clan and benign overall and left the economy in shambles during the housing bubble and it's subsequent bursting, leaving Obama to do the cleanup. These days, I will not even vote for the right side anymore as they are so infiltrated with crooks, liars and cheats, like Santos, but if you are an extremist, I will not vote for you, at all, regardless of the left or right affiliation.

  157. I think it was earlier this year I got an email from a guy that was able to explain where I was, what I was looking at etc as an attempt to get me to be safer online, much of it was actually correct. I was a tad unnerved, but ultimately deleted the email and I think it happened again about a month or so later, and again, I just ignored it. Yes, I have defender on firewall etc. and so far, I have not noted any attempts that I'm aware of, of folks trying to breach my accounts. Some like banks, I have had to let go due to lack of any real money coming in that requires such as I've been mostly living off of EBT/Cash, but transitioning to SSDI with PT work to make up the difference so will need to get a bank of some sort soon. Anyway, another good episode.

  159. Have done this multiple times over the years where I had to create another partition on a drive. Easy in 10, or 11 as I've had to either extend or create a partition recently, most notably for a 2nd internal SSD (SATA) for editing purposes. The days of separate drive for programs etc was more prevalent with mechanical drives. Not as needed with SSD drives as they are much faster and can do multiple reads/writes at once if needed be and do it quickly. All OS/programs and the default folders are on the C drive and it's an NVMe drive.

  164.  @TacoTuesday4  That is old information as in the past 10-15 years, heat pumps have improved with variable speed fans, improved compressors and can now keep an entire house comfortable, even when the temps are down as low as -10F. The caveat is, how well the house is insulated and sealed up for drafts though, and most can also keep your house cool during the summer months. This does include mini split systems too, and it also depends on how well they are installed or they can struggle when it gets really cold. Two videos here on YT show this, one guy lives in Massachusetts, the other in Minneapolis MN and both went with cold weather heat pumps and have stayed comfortable during really brutal winters and one I think saved energy, the other just broke even, and both are modern heat pumps. One gent had his installed in 2016, the other in 2020. Now, thermal heat pumps that utilize the heat in the ground have been around for a long time, but have always been very expensive, air to air based heat pumps have too, but only in the past 10-15 years can do really cold weather well.

  169.  @YouNameItGaming  To better answer your question, Mustangs are based on the base model cars of that era, so for instance, the first gen 'stangs were based on the US Falcon's platform and under pinnings, but with some go fast parts to augment it's handling. I believe the second gen were based on the US Maverick, then the US Pinto, the Fairmont/Zephyr of the US sedans were used as the basis for the fox body platform that ran many, many years. I'm not certain if this car was still on the fox body platform or not. That said, the last couple of generations I'm not certain what platform as there is no base RWD car to base off of. That's how they could for many years sell the mustang as an affordable sports car.

  171.  @tarstarkusz  I know the 2spd powerglide was in use at Chevy until 1972 on some models, like the Nova before finally phasing it out all together. My '74 Nova had the 3spd autobox. Drove that thing for 2 years in the 80's before moving to a '78 Nova. The main thing was the '78 was a 2 door, had a few more options, including AM/8-Track stereo and the 305CI V8, instead of the venerable 250 inline 6 of the '74. the '74 was the base 4 door.

  172.  @tarstarkusz  Same here, my first car in 1982 was a '68 Chrysler Newport with the 383 2BBL carb. The Nova replaced that, then the '78 replaced the 74 by 1985.

  175.  @An.Individual  I think the Pontiac 2+2 is more valuable than you think in that condition as it is a rare version. Also, that vintage GMC/Chevy truck is now quite sought after by many, though parts are not as plentiful as they may be for the 1960-1966 Chevy/GMC trucks as well as the now classic squarebodies. Personally, I love the squarebodies myself. Now, I'm not saying they are necessarily as valuable than a classic tri Chevy from the mid to late 50's or certain versions of the big Chevy, the Caprice/Impala/Biscayne/Bel Air etc, some of the Chevelles and of course, Novas and a few others, like the GTO/Trans Am/Camaro.

  178. Not only that, but it's passive aggressive. It's become down to "not wanting to hurt people's feelings, so why not just dance around the bush? As a nuerodivergent person, I let it be known more directly, but with some form of tact (had to learn that as an adolescent). Don't believe in conspiracy theories, being all bleeding heart, passive aggressive etc. Just be honest and let it be known more directly is all. If more neurotypical folks did that, things would not be so bad as they are currently.

  179.  @chickenfishhybrid44  It may be more common that you may realize, and even if you have electric, be it radiant glass top, or induction, you NEED decent ventilation regardless. Sad fact is, many old homes, and I am talking about homes largely built before the 1950's didn't have any ventilation at all, and if they did, it was a ceiling exhaust fan or a natural draft chimney.

  180.  @chickenfishhybrid44  I lived in an old apartment built in 1913 that initially was a hotel, then it was converted to apartments in the 30's (during the depression) and it had gas stoves, and likely a gas fed boiler for the steam heat, and this was in Seattle. In Medford OR, I briefly rented a 2 room flat that had a brand new Kenmore gas stove in it, both in the 1990's, and every place since then has had an electric calrod stove, which IS more commonly found in post war or newer rental units. Many new condos have gas in the area, but not all. The house I lived in had a gas furnace, but electric everything else and it was built in the early 60's so yes, gas stoves are not as common here, but they do exist.

  182.  @layla_2250  While that may be, he is right in that the DOJ needs to get their shit on and do what needs doing and NOT keep running to a judge. Glenn knows those courts as he's likely worked them as a prosecutor for many years and thus will know what needs to be done. He is right about that. I saw that video, and yes, he did inject his own feeling into it a bit, but by the same token, what the DOJ did with the contempt ruling was WRONG. Judge Howell set them straight. I do think they were still somewhat butt hurt over Bill Barr's weaponizing the dept, but Merrick Garland's wimpiness to go after Trump himself and thus, we have Jack Smith and the special council may not be helping much. That said, I agree, we should have done this 2 years ago and we'd be on the road to recovery by now. But the fact that Garland DID choose Jack Smith, a no holds barred judge that is non partisan when it comes to convictions will get to the bottom of it, even if he, Merril Howell etc have to force the DOJ to do their part in all this along the way.

  185. Glad of this as I'm another autistic adult, diagnosed late. Got my assessment back in Sept through the Dept of vocational Rehab and a psychologist who specializes in assessing adults. My best buddy and my oldest sister both suspected I might be about 18 years ago and finally last year, began to suspect I may well be after some research. It's not helped that I also am a congenital Rubella baby (CRS) as well, and I have a total sight loss in my right eye, total hearing loss in my right ear, partial hearing loss in my left, and was suspected to being "retarded" back in the 60's. Yes, my mother contracted Rubella during the 4th week of the pregnancy (so first trimester) and to add to that, I have heart issues. Add to that I have a rule out for ADHD and was confirmed to have intellectual disability (formerly retardation). I'm now working on picking up the pieces that began with Covid, but in some ways, began in 2017 when the job I'd had for 10 years ran its course through no fault of my own. 3rd party contractor for Ricoh, site I was at was closing due to not renewing contract to decide to go alone again, only to consolidate at another office in another state and was not picked up there, nor at another site within Ricoh. PT work at a local 2 year college, with the hope it'll go FT/perm, FT yes, but still temporary, then Covid hit, job ends in June of '20, with the thought I would get back on that August, but that never happened, found another PT/temp job at the same school, and when it ended, that was that. So I have one long time friend that I've had for 50 years, and he was one that suspected I might be autistic. I still don't know enough about myself to know what I want to do "when I grow up", have anxiety etc. On top of all that, am gay and have never had a long term partner. Was diagnosed ASD, level 1 (high functioning). Hearing from others is good as I learn about myself and am well aware that many autistic folks likely have stereotypes about neurotypicals and I also see them often not meeting us halfway, even if we try to meet them halfway. Yes, been bullied, but also have had to be scrappy to defend myself when it comes to it, so I feel that if a woman is going to be a bully, she should get what's coming, even if a good slug to the face is what ends up happening, she deserves it as much as the guy who does the same thing. I've had to slug one classmate who tried to bully me once in band back in 6th grade, he ran off crying. Band teacher new saw it, nor realized it all had taken place. Anyway, this is all good and informative, even to a "newly" autistic man.

  186. Agree about Kenji. He is after all, a food scientist that knows about cooking. The biggest issue with heating a pan or pot without any oil, no matter the pot is when you overheat butter especially, as Adam said, it'll burst into flames. Been there, done that and used to have the pot to prove it, LOL. Yep, back in about 2015 I did a stupid thing one night when preheating the pot to make risoto and it took a bit longer to get things ready, while the pot was heating up (stainless steel) and even then, I KNEW it was likely too hot, and STILL put in the pat of butter and it immediately went, POOF! into flames, had to grab my aluminum universal lid from the storage drawer, and clamp the lid down on the pot and take out to my concrete balcony to cool off and die down. The pot was nasty looking when I went to clean it and used Bars Keeper's Friend and boiling water to remove the black staining from the flames on the bottom and the water was nasty and brackish initially but eventually, the pot cleaned up and got better over time. Finally, in 2020, the bottom had been deteriorating for a time and finally had to replace it (rusting), so yeah, best to begin getting it to heat up, then add the oil, or add it to a cold pan, then heat up together. One to reduce overheating the pan or pot, but also to reduce the tendency for the food to stick.

If you thought that was bad, have a leak due to a cold snap and have a pipe split near the back spigot and in the attempt to repair the split, parts of the old pipe began to split at joints, only to find out that the bathroom, while redone and replumbed with copper, was connected directly to the old galvanized pipes in the kitchen and the lead in pipe from the street, galvanic corrosion. I still need to completely redo it all but funds are nil at the moment for it. So far, the repairs are holding, knock on wood.

  190. Like you, I've used most variants of Windows from 3.1 to 11 and have not had any issues per se. That said, some are clearly better than others. 95-98 (and SE) were fine, though it was all or nothing when they crashed. That lessened significantly with XP as now, you can just shut down the offending software or peripheral and windows soldiered on. Vista was not bad, but those that had issues, I suspect one was trying to run it on under spec computers or had the 32 bit version for lesser machines that were only 32 bit. I had the 64 bit version as my old Dell Studio XPS was 64 bit and largely had no issues with it by itself. Then when I had to do an upgrade, the refurbished PC I got had 10, then when I had to replace that machine 4 years later, the newer refurbished box came with 11, and I just built a new, up to date PC, and went with 11, using a retail copy of 10's key I had to get 11 Pro. Easy peasy.

  191.  @ryanricks3002  Yep, in Washington St, Jay Inslee has had to reinstate masks for all public establishments and for public gatherings over 500 people, even if outside if the 6Ft rule can't be followed. Sadly, some counties are not heavily vaccinated, compared to other counties and a few weeks ago, Pierce County where I live has had to locally reinstate masks for ALL again, thanks in no part due to the rate of unvaccinations in the county. I'm fully vaccinated, and even I have to wear a masks, just to get groceries. I should state that this is largely due to the unvaccinated and the highly contagious Delta variant being why. We were working our way to totally opening up, but sadly, the mixture of keeping yourself unvaccinated and Delta is killing all efforts, and many of us are still out of work, though I do have a job I so hope to get but it does not close until this coming week though. I was on furlough, but likely not getting back to my old job I don't think.

  195.  @andreaslind6338  Good response, but one correction. Trains do have refrigerated boxcars, known as Reefers, to carry perishables across the land. That said, in watching the Daily Woo on YT, he often will do long road trips, like the one where he went from California to Florida via the SW states and kept seeing lines of cargo trains shuttling goods back and forth over long distances, so they are being utilized, but maybe not as much as they could?

  196. Very good, but a few points of clarification. First off, used to run Hitfilm Express, great editor and fairly powerful, however, Artlist bought it in I think 2022 and did some changes, Express is now called Hitfilm Free, and as you say, it's now limited to 1080P, used to be able to output up to 4K for Express. Specifications do say, a Core i5, or Ryzen 5, from roughly 2016/17 (translation, the 6th gen i5, first gen Ryzen 5) or greater. Hitfilm used to be able to run on a Core i3, but no more. Back in early spring, the last of the original employees of FXHome left and the user forums were wiped out by Artlist and a subscription model is in place for the paid version, which does allow for full 4K. I agree that it was a great piece of kit, and have seen too many novices either not read the minimum specs, nor understand what is involved, and even if you explained, some still didn't get it. I have since switched to Davinci Resolve, mind you, an older version as I am running it on a 10 YO Dell Optiplex SFF that has a 4th gen Core i5, and 1G of VRAM, for now I am hoping to upgrade and it's been recommended that I run an i7 or Ryzen 7, or greater processor, 32G of system memory and have 12GB of VRAM on the graphics card for much smoother playback. Do be aware that this will be true for any editor that the minimum may get you to 1080P, but don't expect a great experience with anything higher res when it comes to scrubbing, especially when working with H.264/H.265 codecs. Best to transcode those to say ProRes, Cineform or DVnX instead. Nice thing about Resolve is once you pay $299 or so for it, it's paid and upgrades are perpetual, and as someone else pointed out, if you buy even the speed editor at roughly the same price, Resolve Studio is free.

  197. Rust aside, that was my thinking too, not the worst out there by a long shot, but could be cared for a bit better, age notwithstanding.

  198. A couple of things to keep in mind with most, if not all changers is, the cheap cartridge. Most older units through the 60's used crystal carts, later ones like from BSR used a ceramic version and they all utilize the lowest form of stylus shape, the conical or spherical tip so vertical tracking angle is itself a moot point, with better tips like the elliptical stylus were more sensitive to this angle, with the elliptical stylus being the less sensitive of the better tip shapes such as the Shibata. Plus, most changers had higher tracking forces, up to 5g if not a bit more with some models (think of the cheap Crosley cruiser models) and in some cases, you can see a wear ring ON the playing surface with some LP's that may show up during playback. Also, with 78rpm playback, you need a stylus designed for 78's, so many of the older ceramic/crystal carts utilized a flip needle with one side for LP, the other for 78. However the changer you had may have had a cheap MM cart on it, but still with a conical stylus, thus not ideal for 78rpm playback unless you swapped out the stylus for one made for 78rpm records. Technically the outer edge of the LP has a semi rounded profile, that is technically what actually touches the previous record played, not the actual grooves, so once dropped likely the outer edge of the LP takes the wear, not the grooves itself.

  199.  @danafowler4404  Yep, but if you leave then not as smooth, then you can avoid that. These days, I now use my stick blender, when I do make mashed potatoes, and I rarely use russets, Prefer to use Yukon Golds instead.

  200. Yes, but a different truck, a Chevy in that case.

  201.  @LovingAtlanta  Do research it. I believe there is a video about it on YT and countless other sources online and in print. Just so you know, the Columbus day storm hit mid Oregon up to Vancouver BC causing significant damage along the way. There were several other major wind storms, including one in 1981 if memory serves and it knocked down the TV tower at Bates Tech college in downtown Tacoma, taking them off the air until they could replace the tower and moving both the tower and transmitter to north Shirley in Tacoma's North End. Not as powerful as the Columbus day storm, but a major storm nonetheless. This year, we may be due one or two major wind storms as we are expected to be in a neutral year, not el nino, nor la nina.

  202.  @Assassin2715  Not if you use roast, like 450F instead. The reason is, you can cook the inside of the meat to desired temp without burning the skin as it'll brown nicely. I think it's all done within 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through so you get both sides of the meat and then toss the veggies so they cook evenly.

  203. Ray, had to double check, still subscribed. Thank God. Saw that previous video, did not bother me at all as I'm like you in that I am a centrist, but bends slightly left. I am not offended that easily. You are good in my book, BTW, went "left" when it came to the president and Veep (yes, Kamala/Tim).

  204. Another way to see if you are on is look at Windows settings/internet/networking and if online, you should see your ethernet connection, if not, a dialog box will say you are offline. This happened to me earlier this week and I thought my gateway (Verizon 5G) was offline, rebooting/updating, turned out the model was offline and didn't come back up on its own, so had to power off, power on to reboot, and it came back up online. Likely the ping command will be more useful for anything that is not local to you. At least this method I explained will let you know you are online, or not. Being online simply means you can get on the internet, but not always to specific sites and if you can't reach any site, likely you are offline.

  205.  @amerikalast  Nope, disagree, while the OS may be more open, the rest of the system(s) are in a closed ecosystem. I'll stick with Windows and all that. Even Microsoft is not perfect, but I can choose what I want in a PC. In fact, I did just that in a new build I'm typing this on. Intel graphics is made by Sparkle, CPU is Intel Core 7 Ultra. Motherboard is from Gigabyte, memory is from Corsair, case by Fractal, you get the idea. Can't do that with any Mac.

  206. Nice to see these. I remember when these came out in the US (2012) and only in the 100 HP version, both with the Asian auto, or 5Spd manual. Even naturally aspirated as these were, with 2 adults and the 5Spd, they were quite quick for 100HP. Very capable of scooting pretty good. I'd prefer the sport as while it was not any faster, it had the firmer suspension that the Pop (base) and the top o' the line Easy lacked for better cornering if anything. Mind you, not blisteringly fast but quick enough to get out of its own way without too much of a struggle. I have always preferred slower cars that you can drive fast, rather than the other way around. Fast enough to keep you out of trouble, but quick enough to not get you INTO trouble by not being able to keep up. These were fun cars to drive, reminds me of older Honda Civics whereby they weighed 1500Lbs, but had all of 63HP out of a 1500cc 4 pot with a 5Spd. Had an 83 hatch 1500 DX for most of the 90's and loved it. I'd like to find the 500L with stick as it's the exact same length as my 03 Mazda Protege 5 wagonlet that's getting up there in mileage and getting a bit ghetto in spots from years of parking in the street. The turbo, I think came along 2 years later and I believe cranks out 130 horses in factry trim. Enough to give the car plenty of scoot and be more fun to drive. Not driven any of the turbo models, except for the 500L, which is bigger but didn't notice too much of a difference in the fun quotient.

  207. Yep. I got a cordless mouse, had several, 2 from Microsoft, but they failed and now have a Logitech mouse and one thing I've found is, if your computer is a tower, and sits on the floor, you need to bring the dongle up to roughly level with the mouse, or it won't work reliably as it's line of sight transmission. My SFF Dell sits on my desk, but my keyboard and mouse are on a keyboard drawer below the surface, so use an extension to bring the dongle to the same level of the mouse and that works. Another issue is when you've been able to rule out the mouse etc, but find an issue is something larger, check to be certain your USB ports are working. Years ago, I had a first gen Core i7 based Dell Studio XPS desktop who's motherboard was failing due to loosing periodically the USB ports. A new MB fixed that. Clue was the keyboard, mouse and other peripherals stopped working. So be aware of that. As to Windows 7, I hope you are not online with 7, it's been off support for several years and using it with an outdated browser leads you security risks, and a lack of proper operation of some site due to being forced to run an older version of the browser due to this lack of support.

  208. The pump is bolted to those perches, so likely meant to be that way.

  209. I have a smaller sized can with that very same spout, the issue is when exposed to the gas, they expand and then get stiff, making them not as easy as they could be to use. I have to bump the can to get it to open, but getting it to close quickly is another matter without some spillage.

  210.  @bruceb4349  Problem is, if you are too close to the ocean (salt water), your car WILL rust that way, even in Florida.
    2
  211. @Nbomber Yes, they will, but you are prolonging when the car gets scrapped is the main thing so it can go 15 years in the rust belt, rather than be junked due to rust at 10.

  212. Wow, he sure looks quite tired, maybe confused and lacking any "fire" he once had, like he has not slept much in days. He has suddenly aged quite a bit here in the video shown. Frankly I have little to no pity on him and the outcome will not be in his favor.

  213. Yep. Remember when it was just a young buck back in the day... I was in grade school/Jr high when it came out.

  214. I know this is 3 months back, but I am hoping to get diagnosed this year, at 57. There are plenty that got diagnosed even older than that, but it does help out more than you may realize, for those of us still in our working years, it can help us to make it to retirement, even if just by the skin of our teeth, but in the end, you will know for certain why you do what you do, and why you've struggled your whole life, and can better survive for the long haul, and often just knowing helps too. Also, I have CRS, congenital Rubella Syndrome, which stems from having had Prenatal Rubella (German Measles) during the epidemic of 1964-65 while in Utero, which becomes CRS once born. I didn't know the second part until a few weeks ago when a sister discovered it online and brought it to my attention and our other sister. CRS does come with comorbidities, and one of them is Autism, or to put it more succinctly, it raises the likelihood of having Autism too, and while some things may improve over time, some get worse as one ages, like developing Diabetes type 2, heart disease, among them. One aspect of CRS is that my body may age faster than my biological age and many of us may die younger than we'd otherwise might due to the comorbidities being likely as some get worse, some better over time. There was a long term study of a bunch of Australians that were born during the epidemic of 1940-41, and several over time have died due to heart failure, diabetes and other factors, still others are still living, now in their early 80's. I don't think we are quite there yet with Autism, but we do know many die young due to suicide as it's often due to the struggles they incur during their lifetimes and the sometimes frequent meltdowns can cause depression and that can cause some to take their own lives. Anyway, hope this helps you to decide to get diagnosed, especially if you suspect you are on the spectrum.

  215.  @bethb7965  That's right, the immunity decision is the 16th, but according to Glenn Kirchner, this has no bearing on the decision on the 18th as all of that trial's evidence was mostly before Trump was in office, or if after he began his term, it was not apart of his official duties. Plus, this is a state case, not federal anyway.

  218. I think he came from up north, so has some familiarity with rusty vehicles, but it's been a while, and depending on where he is in FL. he may get cars from the coast of the state (salt air/water), as that is what it kind of looks like.

  221. Having had to replace the window regulator last summer, not too difficult, though threading the regular in/out is the worst of it but even that isn't too bad.

  222.  @MaximC  No it's not, the SDS (safety data sheets) says it's not, but in you INGEST IT, then you can get indigestion from it, and you'd have to ingest loads of it before it becomes a problem. I keep a can by my sink, and it's great stuff. I always rinse it after using it anyway, like you would when using soap on a pan.
    2
  223.  @Snocone333  According to the data safety sheets, it's not toxic at all, but you will want to rinse it off anyway due to the powder residue that is left behind when using it anyway.

  226. Agree, that truck is well kept, but not a fan of the grill treatment however. I prefer the stock appearance instead and if something like this, make the lids flip up when turned on.

  227. That muffler reminds me of my first car, a 1968 Newport (Chrysler) I had in the early 80's. At 13 years old then, the front sagged, the muffler barely existed, and yes, bailing wire and tin coffee cans for the win. Not that it did much, but anything was better than nothing.

  228. If you are older (over 45) a good chance you have used the floppy/diskette discs in your past, as I have.

  229. Yep, up here, we get very wet winters and little sun, so moss/algae grows. Even if not under a tree directly. House across the street sat empty for several years, half finished and had an old 80's Oldsmobile in white parked in the driveway with grass growing around it, and it was covered in the green stuff, but not near/under a tree, but fir trees were nearby.

  231. Agree with Dave, I got my assessment this past fall and it did confirm what was suspected as far back as 18 years ago, I'm diagnosed as ASD level 1 (formerly Asperger's) as it's been deprecated since the DSM-V, but also since then, the ICD-11. That said, I got mine through the state and its dept of vocational rehab and they paid for a 4 hour assessment with someone that can assess adults, which is critical as we adults have been masking for a long time but unlike children, can respond to questions and such, which in some ways, makes it easier, but in others more difficult. I also have an intellectual disability which was spotted back in the 60's at 3 or so but back then, it was known as "retarded". Today I do not function to the same level as my same age peers. I was assessed at 57 and am now trying to work through all the issues and financial issues and the fallout of Covid, no job etc. Just getting that assessment will help you in ways you may not know at this time and in the end, it may make your life easier to navigate. At the very least, it'll answer some questions you may have. Good luck!

  232.  @jakeaurod  Too late... I got mine up almost 2 weeks ago outside and it's been coming on around 4:30 or so every night since, tree got strung several days later and is mostly all decorated and it's not even December yet...

  233.  @Dragonfire511  Yep, ran into one years ago in a refurbished AST Bravo where the original HDD was replaced with a bigger unit, and it happened to be just that IBM drive with the ceramic platters. It failed when it would not spin up due to sticktion from the dust created when the heads crashed to the platter. It was replaced with a conventional drive with metal platters.
    2
  234.  @Dragonfire511  If I recall, didn't loose much as I had most of the files saved to the diskettes, but I think some minor things like a few photos from the My Photos folder may have been lost, but that's about it. I think I lost more when I left behind the diskettes after I moved to a brand new PC in 2009 that didn't have a diskette, and by then, I was barely using the one in the old PC. The PC ended up being replaced, actually as by then, I had an Asus A7V motherboard with an Athlon 800 CPU and 512MB of ram, which was the schniz in 2001 when I bought them gently used from a friend and proceeded to build a new PC around it and come to think about it, the drive I bought to replace the Deskstar was a WD Caviar Blue (refurbed 17.2GB) to put in the AST and it was read by Windows 95 at 17MB, so when I replaced the AST with the built unit, I eventually had to move up to Win 98 to see the disc's full capacity.

  235. I'm a moderate, live in western Washington and hate Inslee. He's way too liberal/left for his own good, as are likely some of the legislators at the state capitol. He's trying to ban gas anything and rely on electricity for everything, without even seeing if the electric infrastructure can even withstand the load that will be placed on it.

  236. Not a bad idea, though I'd get (and have) a dock for the drives. They are hot swappable as it's likely you are using SATA drives. IDE drives were not, but SATA is. That way, you can put a drive in the caddy, do your image backup, pull it out and store it. Mine is a 2 drive caddy that also has the ability to clone one drive to another internally. They are designed to only accept SATA drives, both 2.5 or 3.5" drives, mechanical or SSD. Works a treat, and makes it easier to pull files from drives and consolidate them onto one, larger drive. Currently, I have a 2TB HDD and I'm slowly pulling files to it so data is not scatted over several drives. Exceptions are SD cards and thumb drives as I often will pull the images onto the drives for storage/project use, then when full, I wipe (format) the cards and reuse them again as needed. This way, I don't have to buy new all the time.

  237.  @maryannslatteryburrows7228  exactly, none of these conspiracy theories won't work on me or many others. Trump is complicit in what happened yesterday.

  238. First off, Not seen Glenn this angry before, which means he's really riled up over this whole thing. Seems to me, maybe some folks should go rouge and take matters into their own hands for the sake of the country, now that the Supreme Court has kicked the bucked down the road in oral hearings in mid April, making it less likely Trump will every get convicted for the insurrection (God I hope he ends up being convicted). There HAS to be a way to get around the court and try Trump, or just off the sucker ASAP. Personally, he needs to be tried for all crimes he committed, just to bring closure to the country.
    2
  239. Obviously, you didn't listen close enough as Ray said this came from upstate NY. Everywhere in that state, salt is used in many areas, year 'round as in the summers in the more rural areas, they use it to keep the dust from the dirt roads down.

  241.  @hungryhungryhummer  Seems that may be what he was using for this video. One reason I use GoPro as it's a one man band for my channel (me) and they do quite well for what they are and are a lot better than other lower end cameras as they do have more than basic auto functions, especially the Hero 12 that can shoot in timecode, shoot in log/lutz etc now even.

  245. Agree, but one thing to remember, there are 3 civil suits that could still put Trump under, one of which is the hush money trial where he was found guilty with 34 felony counts and that is set to be read/sentenced on the 16th, then we have the NY fraud case, and the GA RICO case, they all could bury the guy. It's all a glimmer of hope, but not out of the picture yet. With Juan Merchan coming first. If Trump and his MAGA party is as weak as some say, it may not take much to end the nightmare and get back on track but don't expect it to be rosy, it'll be nasty for a bit, but WILL get better.

  248. That's true, and likely until 1990 when it was finally banned in products. So in the US at least, Asbestos wasn't as widely used until I think the 1930's but by the late 70's I think the use in products began to decline and was removed from all new product manufacturing by 1990. So best to check homes especially when built from WWII on to at least the 70's should have things like vinyl flooring checked for asbestos and if encapsulated, and intact, can be left and covered over, if not then it can be properly removed and disposed of by those who know how to handle it properly as it's now regulated.

  252.  @juliemariemcintyre  Indeed, and before it became a city in the mid 90's, it was part of the county so when I lived there with my family, it had a Tacoma address so you were better off saying your from Tacoma or they had no idea about UP. Now, it's different thanks to being its own city.

  253.  @GARTHURZILLA  Nope, 206 was complimented in 1947, 509 in 1957 when western Washington split with eastern Washington, then in the 1990's we got the 253. 360, 425 area codes, and now in 2017, 564, of which I just found out, and only for new numbers, I think throughout western Washington.

  262. If you can as those that live in the NE and parts of Canada have to deal with rust, thus anything over 15 years old is too rusted out to continue driving as often it's the frame on many trucks that are rather weight reduced by now.
    2
  263. @ Yep, know Eric from SMA, though I live too far to partake in his business, but DO watch him on the regular when he uploads (subscribed for a long while) so see him sometimes struggle with the more rusted units that go through his shop. BTW, live on the west coast of the US where 20-30 YO, or more cars are still quite commonly found on the roads here. I drive one thats just over 20 years old and over 200K miles.

  264.  @distantnative2478  That may be, but when the guy gets back in the car the first time, I saw him momentarily hit the brake pedal, and they went on, so his flashers may well be functional, add to that, we don't know how he got in the accident to begin with, he either hit the wall, or was hit just before the camera rolled.

  265. No, the Dems did not loose badly, it's always been a squeaker in this race we just had. Numbers were still being counted and Kamala inched ever closer so there is that. Not sure what you are smoking but your statement is not correct. Besides, I think we gained seats in either the house or senate, forget which.

  266. I stumbled onto your channel through a random suggestion from YT this morning and while I'm well familiar with the cassette format, and have had tapes since the mid 70's, beginning with a K-Mart shoe box style recorder from 1975 with crappy K-Mart tapes to go with that got me going with tape recording all kinds of things with it. I did gradually upgrade to a true stereo component deck, a low end Sanyo from the mid 80's that I still have and soon to pick up a vintage Pioneer CT-F2121 tape deck, their entry level deck from the mid 70's, though to get there, I had moved from the cassette deck in a Hitachi all in one from the late 70's with AGC to a Sansui rack system with a component deck with, again AGC (and it was a crappy deck as was the rest of the system) and was given the Sanyo for my birthday in 1986 and the Pioneer will be my best cassette deck ever but still, I love the cassette format for many reasons. That said, loved listening to the demo of the various types as demonstrated here and even though I use a full blown desktop PC with a separate receiver and speakers, and even with YT compression, I could definitely distinguish the crappy type 1 with the better type 1, and the other types were more subtle, but if you knew what to listen for, you could detect them as well, and it was more the dynamic range and how well they took the higher peaks (or didn't) and the upper frequencies did show up more as well over the compression, but so did the midrange a little. I have found that the doped ferrics (what most type II tapes were) did both the treble and bass quite well, thanks to the benefits of both the ferric oxide and the cobalt etc doping agents, and thus was a good type to use for most things at a reasonable price for most folks and still sound great. Your information was mostly accurate and very informative, especially for those wondering at what all the fuss is about with the cassette format. I have heard that with Dolby S and HX-Pro with metal tapes, one can match if not surpass CD in quality, though I can't verify that as I never had a deck with either.
    1
  267. Even CD has W&F, it's just extremely low to the point you don't notice it is all. Even very good analog can do very low W&F too, you just have to pay for it is all. Take a look at the specs of turntables through the price range of say, $400-20K+ and see what you see, with most lower end units having a higher # value for it than the more expensive decks, same with tape decks as well.

  268.  @JoshWebb  That is true, even those that have a sani rinse or high temp wash, even the commercial dishwashers only top out at 180F and at that temp, the water flashes off so no need to dry things after a quick run through what it technically called a sanitizer in the commercial units, which is why they can get away with a 5 minute cycle and get dishes really clean for the next table serving.

  269. Hey, am a Mazda owner too, though sadly, it's not a pedal pusher, but saddled with the aging 4spd autobox, at least it's a shift it yourself sport shift unit. Yep, an '03 P5 wagon with almost 200K on the clock. Have had it since 2012 and it's been very reliable despite some hard times here and there with the maintenance.

  270. I think you are missing the point. It's a form of 2 factor authentication. There are several ways to implement this, email (a separate one, ideally from a different provider), biometric (if using your phone), or by text messaging whereby they send you a code (use once, limited time to reply) that you then type in on your PC, something that says, it's you that is requesting a change. That's it. Some, though another email is the ONLY option, but that is I think becoming less and less. I personally have 3 emails, one is my primary one, and 2 others, one is Gmail as in it's needed for some services on Google, but they all require 2FA now, so I have had my main email (MSN) used for Gmail, and vice versa. Both are used so no issues there. I do often try to remember to log into my yahoo email periodically, though it is "used" by sites like Live Journal to send me notifications as it was for that kind of thing. I don't get into LJ much these days so Yahoo falls by the wayside mostly now. But 2FA is often a requirement, along with password vaults to help you with recovering accounts.

  273. Did you watch the entire piece? Leo said that the OP had tried the drive in multiple Windows computers with the same result, halting within 20 seconds but works fine on a Mac. It used to be that if you bought an external drive, you had to choose between Mac or Windows, now a days, not so much.
    1
  274.  @ronster-380  Not likely as most external drives uses either a large B type connector, or the smaller one, not a normal A/A cable, or failing that, it uses a C to A cable. Thus, having that is not as likely. I know as I have 3 externals, one a larger 3.5" Simpletech that uses the A/B cable and a wall wart for power, the 2 WD Passports use the smaller mini B to regular A cables.

  275.  @222boneal  I have a 2003 Mazda Protege 5 wagon with digital odo and it's got over 195K on it, and it still chugs along quite well even though it does not always get diligent maintenance. I've owned it now almost 11 years (it'll be 11 years towards the end of January next year). It did just get new rear brakes and a caliber and a new bleeder valve, including rotors and 2 new tires as the two front ones were tread separating.

Current car has it, and it still works despite being over 200K miles on the clock.

  280. I rarely need to call customer service as I can often glean info from say Tom's Hardware or whatever, even if it's an article on someone's product or service, but the info can still be useful in say, why something is, and how it's handled, and oh, by the way use our service to do just that. The info before the by the way portion is where I can get an idea of what I need to be doing and I move on. Eventually, I'll get what I'm after after a few minutes of rooting around the internet and can then go do what I need and fix whatever issue I have. Granted, sometimes I need to ask someone instead, thus I go directly to the source and find their number if they have one, or failing that, an email or chat for assistance. Sometimes it's a bot chat and often they are useless but I try anyway as it's a you never know. but I will eventually find what I'm after.

  281. You can call me lucky. I have 2 email accounts, both free I've had since the early 2000's, MSN (when it was still MSN, never had Hotmail) and a Yahoo account for gay related stuff primarily. At one point, had a paid email account through MSN with a broadband service, but that email now no longer exists. Not a big deal, really. Due to being a Youtuber, I do have a Gmail account and it gets used for some things, but almost never send from it, it's receive only. I have alternative ways, mostly 2FA now for retrieving/changing passwords as needed, which is very, very rare. MSN is my main email and I send/receive from it all the time. I do agree with most of what you say here and should look into a password vault or similar and also update my coded log in credentials list in Libre Office (started out in Microsoft Office) and make it a spreadsheet instead for easier searching, cleaning it up while at it.

  282.  @joneclegg  Yep, agree on the sharpness. While I don't always keep my knives properly sharp, I can tell when they are dull, and this is especially true of things like tomatoes as a good chef's knife will cut through the tomato's skin pretty easily if sharp enough.

  283. Also, remember, if you do not go into your spam folder all that often, many services will automatically empty it after a certain amount of time anyway. I have found stuff in my junk/spam folder periodically (especially in Outlook online) and I just move it to the inbox, or if there is the option, I've been known to use this is not spam to let the program or service know.

  284. These Always pans get panned in virtually every review out there, they are aluminum and don't heat up too evenly, nor well, the coating sucks, and the overall design is poorly thought through. I don't own any ceramic pans in my arsenal of pots and pans. I DO have ONE non stick but don't use it all the time as mostly I use cast iron, carbon steel or stainless steel and all are cooked on a radiant glass top, but have used them on a basic calrod stove and on a butane burner on occasion. As several have said, never run them on high heat, at most, medium high (a 7 on most radiant glass top stoves, even many calrods the same). Use high for boiling water, but do not leave it on high, when cooking rice or pasta, turning it down to medium is fine. Deglaze the pan for sauces, use the fond for extra flavor, by adding liquid to it, then scrape it up with a wooden scraper or spoon. This will also make it easier to clean the pan afterwords, or just soak it for several minutes will also work. Stainless can go in the dishwasher, as long as the handles are not made of wood. Same for enameled cast iron like Staub or Le Creuset or similar. As long as the pots have no wooden handles, they can also go in the dishwasher, trick is NEVER place cast iron or carbon steel in there however. They will likely get their seasonings ruined and will rust as the dishwasher is caustic when in operation and has been known to ruin many finishes that are not dishwasher safe.

  285.  @katherinejones8022  Note I said, the EXTREMES OF BOTH SIDES (radical). To be fair, the left for a long time (Dems) were weak kneed and let the Republicans run rough shod over them and thus were ineffective for a long time, but even that was often preferable to what the Republicans were doing. I read of the radical left and how they tried to push the narrative of the Vietnam war back in the 60's and in the end, while the war ultimately did end, their ideals didn't make it really far at all, and only further agitated the conservatives and thus may have been what has lead to the political climate we have today. The extremists are bad, regardless of which side of the political isle they are on, thus extremists are like radicals as they won't stop until they get what they want, even if it means violence. I did not vote for Sanders let alone Warren, but did like her more than Sanders, but did go for Biden. I have found Sanders not to my liking but DO agree that he was nothing of what Trump ultimately did. There was a candidate whom I can't recall but do recall his platform was all over the place and none of it made any sense and if memory serves, was too left (Not Sanders that I recall) even he was nothing like Trump and I feel we can't indict him fast enough, but suspect he will before mid year most likely, along with the Maga/insurrectionists as well.

  288. I know this is a couple of days old now but I totally agree with David on this one. The constitution does separate church and state and for good reasons. That said, and I'm trying not to paint this with a broad brush stroke, but the more extreme a Christian you are (be it either the left or right), the more likely you will go against the grain of even the more moderate Christians, let alone anyone else, Christian or no. That said, I consider myself still a Christian, but not a practicing one these days but also see too many who claim to be Christian, but fail to follow the basic tenets of Christianity itself. It's not about saying I'm a Christian, but do it by actions, not words. Agree, what we are hearing is off the charts loony and it's like flat earthers, they claim the earth is flat, when evidence is to the absolute contrary of that and yet when one disagrees, and shows evidence thereof, they act like they just been martyred and pillared when that was not the case at all. It's all sad, really.

  291. From what I heard from Glenn Kirshner in yesterday's upload and some of the comments say congress has the upmost power over the executive branch and the DOJ/FBI and the special committee McCarthy wants to head up I hope the former is NOT true, that there is oversight of Congress and thus it can get the smack down as needed, and to the latter, that the Dems will prevent it from getting enough votes to pass. I hope Jack Smith is also looking into this as well and hopefully boot out some of the congressmen that were involved with the insurrection and kick them to the curb, unmercifully.

  292. i think the quality of the hot lunches depended on when and where you went to school. I was in school for all of the 70's and early 80's, becoming an adult in the mid 80's and the school district I went to had fairly decent lunches as far as the quality of individual items are concerned. Mind you, it was what most kids, including the HS students would likely have eaten. Ham sandwiches, hamburgers, pizza, stuff like that. I think we did have say, canned green beans (which I've never had an issue with, and even now, they come in handy when I need/want to have green beans and I only have the canned varieties on hand, of which I don't often do currently). Some of my more favorites were the pizza's (Duh... typically on Fridays), the ham sandwiches (essentially a slice of ham, American cheese on a hamburger bun) basic cheese burgers, the patty may or may not be made of real ground beef and often had a slice of American cheese (think McDonald's cheese burgers) In fact, I cooked up a hamburger last night that was better than described for school, and yes, it had American cheese on it, and a mayo/cream sauce with salt/pepper/dill in it slathered on the bottom bun, Pizza was often "sausage" based, (think Totino's pizza) and I can't recall what else was served, yes, there was a salad bar, a desert if I recall, typically a pudding or jello or some canned fruit. Nothing fancy, but at least it was, to me anyway, was reasonably tasty. Mind you, I didn't not do hot lunches often as Mom made my lunches most days for school, often from about 5th grade on in the brown paper lunch bag. Otherwise, I had the typical either metal or plastic lunch box, not the soft sided ones, but the molded plastic ones for a year or two, but I think they may have all been metal as I think they were the least expensive ones to get as we were not as affluent like some in our middle class community were but were not poor either.

  293. Besides, Domino's is just OK as far as pizzas go in terms of its quality anyway.

  294. Yep, Google is indeed your Friend, as is Wikipedia, among other things. A lot of the time, the bibliographies at the end of Wikipedia etc can be very helpful too. Something as simple as finding out what an abbreviation is, is helpful. For instance, FWIW, I suppose you likely know what it means, I do as well, but for someone that doesn't know, just hop on Google and ask, what is FWIW, the answer is at, or near the top of the results that comes back when you hit enter. 30 seconds or so, you have your answer. As you have said, it does help if you have an inkling of what to look for too in your search. Sometimes, as you've pointed out, recalling the specifics of an answer you were not sure of, but have looked up before in the past to refresh your memory in answering a question. I have at times have had to admonish some folks online for the lack of researching as one, the question asked is so basic that a 30 second search will reveal the answer quickly say, I'll say, Do your own research, Google is your Friend or variations of that. It is true that sometimes you just have to read between the lines, and triangulate the answer to answer a question. I do often feel like I don't know enough to do what I am doing sometimes, but know I'm not alone in having to look things up.

  295. Thank you. I recently got my 2 computers, one a desktop, the other a laptop (both Dells running Win11, though the desktop is Pro, the laptop is Home but the laptop can only see the shared folders of documents, downloads etc, not the regular ones we drop files to by default. The desktop can see all that on the laptop. This was the first time I've successfully got this far with Windows network as trying to run older non 10/11 machines to either 10/11 has often resulted in failures, especially anything pre Windows 7. I had tried to network and old Dell Inspiron B120 laptop with XP to my old Windows 10 desktop a year or so ago, no dice. XP could not be seen on my desktop. So I think you also need to be using on all machines the similar era OS, such as 10/11, with maybe 7-8.1 being alright to use for file sharing/printing.

  297. Actually, CD changers were available by 2001 on some cars. My best friend once had a Ford F150 Lariet crew cab truck that had one from the factory. His Frontier (2011), I believe has one too, but it's by Rockford Fosgate. It, does have USB/3.5mm jack and I think BT. I have all that in my 2003 Mazda Protoge, and even it came with CD and a cassette player when the factory head unit was still in it. It was replaced by the time I bought it in 2012, and I then replaced the single DIN Alpine CD unit for a double DIN JVC that has BT, 3.5mm jack, and USB, CD. I mostly only use the USB and all my music in on a thumb drive.

I occasionally go into Yahoo to ensure it's still "active", or I risk it being deleted, Gmail is where things like Quora and Reddit notifications go. Otherwise, work search email will go to MSN, or my joint email with Workpoint (they help me with looking for work). So far, none have been hacked and I have access to my passwords too. I did have a secondary MSN account, that I think came with a former paid service (when I was with US West for my first DSL service in 2001 before they were bought out by Century Link. However, that secondary email is no longer around I think. Tried to find it and it was not to be found.

  302. Other than needing TPM 2.0 and compatible CPU, I have not had an issue with using 11. My last PC, a 7th gen i5 Dell had 11 and ran it no problem. My current PC is much newer, home brewed and based on the 15th gen Core 7 Ultra, it has 11 Pro. That said, I have not found no real difference between 10 and 11. Yes, the start bar defaults to the center (big deal) and the move function was removed (again, no big deal) as Cut and Paste is essentially the same thing in the long run. I just shuffled a bunch of files recently that way to consolidate things to one drive and get my drives all reorganized again after several years of having to move stuff around due to a lack of space on some drives as stuff got scattered over several drives. Otherwise, what changes are not the OS per se user wise, but some of the telemetry has changed, and not all for the better in their defaults. Just turn them off and your privacy is mostly preserved.

  303.  @Pointlesschan  The last car I had with a manual, I learned to do it with the foot parking brake in a Ford Ranger, not easy to do, as you have to have your hand on the release lever, and do the foot dance from clutch to accelerator and release the parking brake, hopefully with little to no roll back on a hill. I miss the dash mounted hand brake in trucks. It is much easier if you have a handbrake IMO.

  304.  @24blade00724  Done that too, 59 here, will be 60 in January. Installed both an in dash used 8-track and later an under dash cassette (with auto reverse/auto music search, the schnizz back then, and from Radio Shack no less) and had it on a removable mount screwed to the transmission tunnel in a 1968 Chrysler Newport and jury rigged the itty bitty 4" surface mounts with cheap plywood and wire to the 6x9 ovals in the parcel shelf. Good times!

  306.  @ryanmorrison5464  Likely boring as most newer cars now have modules or are difficult to modify due to how the head unit is integrated into the dash. Also, likely it means most don't even try to go wild with stuff and not experiment like was once done back in the day.

I think the hearing is set for April of this year. Here is the Wikipedia article on her. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kshama_Sawant She has even tried to defund the police in Seattle, and has tried to undo Jenny Durkin, the city's Mayor and I used to be apart of her rental news letter that reads very socialist. Here is her Twitter account and her latest tweets. https://twitter.com/cmkshama?lang=en. I'd educate thyself missie.

  309.  @samjones1954  Also, in case you didn't know, Mustangs were based on base vehicles when it was first introduced, and has been ever since if not mistaken. That said, I doubt the last few "stangs are based of any current platform but the last one they developed after the fox platform, which, BTW, was based of the Fairmont/Zephyr cars. I had the Fairmont, it was a POS, slow as molasses, but I suspect the cat was partly plugged up. It was a '78, the first year for the Fox platform, BTW. So they often shared parts with the Fairmont, including the base inline 4 and 6 cylinder motors. Can't recall but the inline six in 1978 was a heavy 200CID motor and it would cause the poor Fairmonts to plow if you took a corner at anything approaching close to speed. When equipped with the 4 banger, not an issue being some of the issues with that car. I should mention that the first mustangs were based on the plebian Falcon.

I realized recently that if you think of the movie, dumb and dumber, Eric is the dumber of the two brothers, with Don Jr being not as bad, but still dumb (ok, stupid) and their father is not all that much better as it appears he never got a proper education, and is a Narc, and a sociopath (his father Fred definitely was). So I don't trust any of them, they all are grifters and liars.

  312. Yep, and I thought the change was due to going to dual chamber brakes in 1967 where today, the likelihood of total brake failure is not as great as it was before when you either had them, or you didn't, so the e brake was used in an emergency.

  313.  @TEDodd  Oh I agree. Dual circuits just reduces the chances of total brake failure.

  314. Unless the brake booster fails, then likely the pedal will sink to the floor, after you stop. I've only had that happen once on a '78 Nova many years ago, fortunately I was not going fast at all, but was parking in front of work after a pizza run (delivery driver).

He was only guilty of conspiracies and paranoia, then Ford had the gall to pardon him when in office, but realized, a bit too late, he never should have done so, that cost him the election against Carter. Carter was not the best prez we've ever had, but not the worst, not by a long shot, sadly, his wife, daughter, and brother Billy made a buffoon out of him, and a laughing stock. He, too, would only last one term, and lost to Reagan, that's where things slowly began to fall down, at least as far as the reuplicans are concerned.

I have been having an issue with an old graphics card that is not playing nice with Windows 11 and simply crashes, sometimes with a brief buzz, then both screens go black, triggering the power saver on both, but the PC is still operating (say, a video still is playing). So I used to hit the power button and hold it until the PC shuts off, now realizing that if you press momentarily the power button, the PC will do the proper shut down command. Wait a second or so, then repress the power button and it'll go through the boot process and you can then resume. Otherwise, I tend to hit Ctrl/Alt/Del to bring up the task manager open and scroll down and select it, find the offending driver/program, and force Windows to shut it down and resume from there.

  326. Agree with you in that if you have a PC that is on Windows 11 and is fine, keep at it, you've got a year and a half to upgrade. I had to upgrade because I had to replace an older Dell Optiplex that is too old for Windows 11, bought it used in 2019 refurbished, and was a 4th gen I5, so can't run Windows 11 as is. So the new machine I got to replace it is a 7th gen i5, and is also a Dell Optiplex, both SFF machines and it was also refurbished, but came with Windows 11, got it last October and it also has an NVMe drive. The previous Dell had a SATA SSD as it did not have NVMe. Windows 10/11, does not matter as far as basic usage goes as they are very similar, yes, some things have changed and with careful research, you can get rid of many items and reduce the snooping from Microsoft. But once done, it's done and you should not have to deal with them again, so what's the big deal? I did briefly use Windows 7, but an ISO that was likely non legit as Microsoft caught it and shut it down, had to go back to Vista (yes), but by this point, the original hard drive in my very old Dell Studio XPS was failing and got it to limp along until we can replace it. This was in 2019, hence the 4th gen i5 Dell. The old XPS was the first gen i7. That old i5 based Dell was to be a short term replacement, but 4 years in, we realized I had to upgrade, and tried to do so then, but funds were not to be had, and add to that, the computer had to be replaced suddenly, and thus picked up another SFF Dell, which is the current one, and "fell" Windows 11. I now have an 8th gen i5 based Dell Latitude with 11 too. So, eh... it's all Windows and for the most part, works fine.

  327.  @danteerskine7678  I call BS on your claim, they ALL die, Period. I've had old fashioned hard drives fail, yes, but not after at least several years of in some cases, a hard life in IT, in another case a DECADE of heavy read use (OS and programs), only to loose sectors and corrupting the OS badly. The computer was getting long legged anyway, and had plenty of other parts like the motherboard replaced over its lifespan, the original WD blue finally died 10 years in. One or 2 of the not quite as old, but from IT drives failed to be recognized by the OS. I have had a thumb drive die from mostly a lack of use over time, an SD card fail eventually (it was an Adata class 4 drive for my Nikon D90 DSLR. I have 2 and the second one still works). The point that Leo is saying here is, no matter the drive, most will last between 3-3 years on average but many will last at least a decade, often with many reads and writes and that you are best to backup everything.

First wave Gen Xer, born in 1965, so will be 60 next month and I grew up before the advent of the internet and got my first smart phone in 2012 with the Blackberry Storm (1st gen), that said, I don't have much in the way of social media accounts, don't do Pinterest, Tik Tok etc, though I do have an account with Instagram, mostly for my YT channel, of which I need to get back to, and am working on projects that are not quite ready for editing yet. That said, phones today are needed, and why I got my first, a basic Nokia in 1998, and at that time, with Voicestream (now T-Moble) and it was very limited and cost me $10 a month I think it was. Mostly to be able to call for help if the car broke down. Not that it did all that often as even though I was driving cars that were 9-10 years old when I got them, keeping most about 4-7 years, being able to call for help was the main reason. These days, it's my only phone and most family members communicate with me via text, but I don't live by text messaging and often do not use the phone a lot as I often prefer to do stuff on the desktop where it's easier to see etc. Also, I'm job searching and run into the issue of many phone calls are not identified, go to spam automatically and thus no messages. I do more than online stuff, but I do often do research online and write scripts, then I edit videos, stuff like that on the computer. I also have been known to generate PDF's, many of them fillable. Used to do faxes, but no longer have a landline and many places now have it so no fax, though most businesses still do. So while I generally do not utilize the phone for passive use all that much, I do keep it on but it's in the background and when shooting on the road with my GoPro, it then becomes my "remote" with Quik to start/stop the camera, and make any adjustments to ProTunes as needed. Otherwise, I leve it in its holder while driving. Will say though, used to be a voracious reader when much younger. Much of what I read now is online documents and articles. Also, am neurodivergent so not as likely to bury my face into the phone while out and about as I like to keep my wits about me and be aware of my surrounding. In fact, don't wear headphones, generally as well.

  329. I just built a new PC but did not have a retail copy of 11, just an OEM from the PC I'm replacing (a refurbished Dell Optiplex with Windows 11 Pro) A brief consult, found out that my retail copy of Windows 10's key will work just fine for 11, so went to MS and had them generate the ISO and convert it to a bootable drive on a 32GB thumb drive. Et voila, I now have Windows 11 24h2 on my new box. Yes, Windows 11 Pro. Still have some tweaking to do but it's up and running as I type this comment.

  330. Really, I don't give 2 shits for gaming but AM interested in content creation and being able to edit in 4K if I want so we need someone to look into that as well. I did see in the past week or so, a brief graphic showing that the B series cards from Intel didn't really shine as well for games, but did very well on content creation. The B580 does look promising and with 12GB of GDDR6 memory, should be more than fine for content creation of any type and not break the bank. I was hoping they'd do something akin tothe A770 as well, but we'll have to wait on that when they do release the Battlemage variant.

  337. That was me about a year ago and was impressed when the local 2 year state college was upgrading to 2G, now I have 2G at home (down only) over a 5G gateway. However, when it's over 1G, the upload speed is around 20MB up, which is not bad when you consider most still run at least 10MB to 55MB down at minimum over cable/DSL.

  338.  @guywerry6614  I had the '74 version of the same, a base (and I mean, base) 4 door, even suffered the radio delete option as it came from the US Gov't GSA fleet when we bought it in 1979. Easy to work on, about the only "luxury was power brakes and steering and heat/vent, that's it. Even the floor was clad in nubby rubber. 😄

  339. If my memory serves, didn't the classic (?) GM 3600V6 in the transverse configuration have a pivot for the front engine mount to pivot the motor forward to access the back 3 plugs? I know the Chebby Citation and its ilk didn't with the smaller 2.8 V6.

  340. This is very good and a few years back, tried to do a deep dive on the rubber scraper (spatula) and little online then about it and my take was to look at it as an indispensable tool in the kitchen as it is used to scrape foods from dishes into another dish or trash. It's been around a long time, and until oh, the past 30 years or so, was largely made of rubber, now mind you, MOST rubbers are man made as natural rubber, made from latex, grows on certain trees that were largely only grown down near the equator, and is limited in quantity as a result, so man made rubber was developed. Most rubber products are man made, and then vulcanized to get it to an elastic state we now think of as rubber. Problem with mostly man made rubber, but natural rubber too is they will degrade after several years, chemicals will leach out, become sticky, shiny, some will crack as they dry out, especially if put in the dishwasher. You may notice this with old pencils, the erasers they have will harden and dry out. This is why many belts in tape decks, be it cassette or R2R etc will often degrade to a gooey mess, or simply loose their elasticity and stretch out from age and why belt drive tables it's often recommended you replace the belts every 5 years or so. That is why I stopped buying rubber spatulas, and began getting silicone ones instead as they are inert, and so far have not had them leach out as they break down. I have 3 silicone ones that I've had for about 18 years, and often cook with them too. They have held up well in hot pans. 2 are a touch discolored from the heat after many years. Yet, they still are stable, have not dried out, nor cracked, nor leached some gross/gooey, sticky chemical. One has lost a corner after many removals of the head to allow water to dry out as they get moldy if I don't do this. I know not all spatulas like the one Adam holds here but many are made to have the heads be removable, and most of mine are like that. I don't have the capability to smell much if at all so am not aware of their holding in odors. I believe America's test Kitchen has tested for their absorption odors as part of their tests and some may be better than others about this, but knowing that tossing them into an oven (mind you minus their handles if possible if the heads are removable) and "bake" them at 400F for several minutes will remove the smell is a good thing.

  342.  @askleonotenboom  normally, I dislike them as well, but as someone born with congenital hearing loss, and at 60, it's gotten worse and at times if the audio is poor, it definitely helps. I like the option of being able to turn it off if I find it not necessary, embedded, not able to as it's now part of the video. YouTube has close captioning available for those that need it.

  344.  @FathomlessJoy  I watched the debate so there. If you watched the debate, then you should have noted her talking about woman's reproductive rights and what she indended to do about it, all the while trying to dispel Trump's wish to remove those rights. Remember, she's been a prosecutor, an AG, a senator among them and has 34 prior years experience with this, and while she had to be on offense to Trump, she did manage to answer the questions as best she could, given the time given. Some questions were never asked by the moderators that should have been asked so there is that, but as I said previously, she mopped the floor with Trump. I know what she intends to do, and I'm also aware that some of her plans may not be fully fleshed out, given the short time she had to start campaigning after Biden stepped down. I think you are either a troll, or a Trump supporter, or both.

  345. To be honest, I DO think the emphasis is too much on the gas stove itself but look at where those stoves are housed, in kitchens without any sort of ventilation, even a window in some cases. I live in an older home, has no exhaust hood of ANY kind, but, I DO have an electric glass top (not induction) and it does not take much to cause a lot of smoke in the kitchen, if not to set the smoke alarm off at the OTHER end of the house from the kitchen. I do have a window, but nowhere near the stove itself. So I'd say, instead of BANNING gas stoves, might as well require ALL KITCHENS be retrofitted, or remodeled to have exhaust hoods, and not ones that recirculate back into the room, but vents outside instead, and make this mandatory for any stove type, regardless of the fuel used as if not using gas for cooking, you may be using it by the electricity your electric utility company has sourced to power their generators (coal or gas is quite common in the NE of the US, or coal once was). That said, the electric grid is not as robust as it should be and may not handle the load always well to begin with. Add in all the heat pumps and AC units now in use, the time is ripe to cause more problems than it solves by requiring electric stoves, without looking at the entire picture without requiring an infrastructure rebuild of the electric grid across this vast nation.

  346.  @SeattlePioneer  There is a budget to content, with, or the lack there of, or I would have by now, I'm just saying that is a hidden elephant that no one is talking about. Hoods typically don't cost nearly as much as many stoves, unless you buy a top end hood, and those can get quite spendy, and then to retrofit into older structures that never had them can get expensive too. I can do it a little easier, and cheaper by usurping my gas wall furnace flue to vent outside when I get around to replacing that too, so $$$ I just don't have right now. Also, I should add, I used to live in Seattle, and my last place was a 1960 modern concrete slab apartment building on Capitol Hill and it did have an exhaust fan/hood, the hood was there for light but recirculated into the room, the exhaust fan vented outside through a vent chase to the roof and was shared by other units in the same stack. Did the job, but could have been better, yes, I used it always when I cooked. I live in Tacoma now in a single family home from 1905-1908, the kitchen is original to the mid 20's.

  347.  @askleonotenboom I thought it might've been Wordpress. I used to have a blog via Wordpress and GoDaddy. Had to let it go last fall as one, was not updating it in several years, and two, budget is barely existing at the moment. Got a job last fall, but had to give that up after breaking my leg and having to recover longer than they wanted as they were short staffed at the site I was at. Oh well.

  348. Personally, have not noticed this on your channel, yet but have on others and they are easy to spot and I just report them as what they are. They are immediately deleted, or the comment I had reported, but eventually, they are totally removed from YT. I don't feel the need to engage with them, but just report them.

  349.  @leasaalvarenga352  You may very well be right about that. I also see them picking off the lower rung "mobsters" they apparently moving up the chain to the "godfather" himself, and now that the trump org is in deep doodoo, we'll see justice soon, if not a checkmate, so to speak where one has to blink first, game over.

  355. One thing to be aware of is there is no guardrail for Trump. He had Pence to reign him in, certifying the election. Pence is no longer in Trump's orbit, Vance is, and Vance will not be a guardrail. I DO hope Harris/Walz wins, even if by a veritable whisker.
    1
  356. For those who are worrying about symantics of what Johnny said, or didn't, I look at the facts, the evidence as seen from various sources. Most point to Trump taking our freedoms as Americans by removing the constitution and all its laws. Harris will abide by it and keep our freedoms as we have known them. I'd rather have my freedoms, thankyouverymuch, than live in an oppressive fascist state, have seen/read both Animal Farm and 1984 back in HS and they are NOT what I want for our country. We got lucky on that fateful day in January 2021 when the resurrection took place as we had a safeguard in the form of Mike Pence to certify the official votes and Trump lost, fair and square. With Vance, we don't have that safeguard anymore. Now, think about that.

  357. Unfortunately, Narc's are likely rather smart, have empathy, but chose to use it against people by "empathizing", then turn on them for kicks and giggles and love chaos, to turn something into turmoil, always using scapegoats (the person, often a child, can't do right by the Narc), the golden child (he/she can do no wrong), and use them against other family members and I forget which, but one will likely be another Narc. The rest will eventually escape and go no contact, which is how one removes themselves from the abuser in the first place and can recover and get on with their lives. I don't know if standing up to them actually works like it typically does to most bullies (seen that happen when I didn't back down to one once years ago, which is why you don't call me scrappy for nutnin').

  358. I am getting tired of reading comments where people say to lock him up already etc, when the reality is that the federal courts are slow by design, with some state courts even slower (New York's) so there is that element, then I think what's happening is they are going after the lower lying fruit first and working up to trump, all the while gathering evidence to hopefully get trump, once and for all. So patience and while I agree, this is unprecedented as what the orange orangutan has done is so much worse than even Nixon ever did, Nixon was paranoid as was President Johnson, but in a less insidious way., but not an out and out evil like Donald is (being a Narc and all, and even tries to squelch the US constitution and steal an election, which is definitely shades of Hitler et-al). Yes, I'm well aware some of these types of comments may be meant rhetorically, but it is hard to tell when its rhetorical or not by text alone.

  359. Looks like you got some of the same type commenters America's Test Kitchen got when Julia did her eggs, sunny side up, a touch crispy around the edges this morning on her segment from the full ATK, At Home episode. I saw the original full ep on YT I think a month to a month and a half ago. It's funny how many say crispy eggs is NOT right, taste bitter etc, when it's a perfectly valid way to do them. She likes them runny, same with me, I fry, I soft boil, I hard boil if making say egg salad filling for sandwiches, and I will poach them, which I did this morning, using the pot method, a technique I've come to turn to now instead of a dedicated egg poacher and I even have 2 vintage ones. One a single Mirro poacher, and another one that poaches 3 at once.

  360.  @mikenonameneeded3485  Steve's always wearing gloves, almost all of then are those light blue ones. Then again, I don't blame him as many of the places he ends up in are not exactly taj mahals, let alone clean for that matter, and many are obviously slobs/hoarders. One place, he had to deal with the electrical panel that was in a guest? bedroom that WAS a guest room, now filled with crap that he had to climb over just to get to the fuse panel, only to find it jury rigged with unsafe "repairs" and I think half the lights didn't work in the house. The lady looked to be at pest past her prime and a hoarder. He was able to get the furnace going but not much else.

  361.  @dooberoso  NO, not correct, It's Trump and his hinchmen that brought this on, NOT the democrats. The other is the REPUBLICANS, they are not quite all, fortunately guilty of implicity in this, AT the very CORE, Ted Cruise, Josh Hawley and 6 others are the most guilty of the bunch and were likely certainly part of the insurrection.

  362. Especially since he just had a bunch of other stuff done that likely put a good sized dent in the ol' wallet to begin with.

  363. Also, something else to realize, legally, there may not much that may be done until the 20th, being that impeachment again will take too long, most likely, but also not doing anything now is only allowing the legal eagles to gather evidence while Trump is in office to go after him once he's required to leave the White House on the 20th, or failing that, be forced out/escorted out forcefully and right into a court house to begin trial. As much as I'd love for him to be offed right now, I feel that a better closure is to try him in court, convict him and then serve him up to a guillotine or a hangman's noose and then be offed, rather than be in jail for life as that will then allow us to go after the truly committed trump supporters and try them, one by one. It'll take time, but we will prevail.

  364.  @SamUrtonDesign  Very likely you may have overheated it. Enamel can be damaged when that happens, or you exposed it to thermal shock, that is, while hot, you added cold water to it a general no, no for any enameling anyway. I have vintage Le Creuset and they all have cracks from being overheated a little, but are also quite old now too. One set I bought about 25 years ago is likely from the 1950's (Elise yellow), the other is around 43 years old and was my mothers (in brown) and is just the Dutch oven itself.

I'd go look at other Meidas Touch and Glenn Kirshner and several of the NSNBC videos and they all are more or less saying the noose is being tightened around Donald, and agree with a commenter below, the elections are on Tuesday and I would not be surprised if things speed up at that point and likely he'll be in jail before the end of year.

  367. I know this is now 6 days old but still, as a content creator and watcher, I find some patterns happening on YouTube and that is, one, I think I agree that YT is still struggling to find itself, and along the way, loosing it's original intent. I also find many creators doing exactly as you say, loosing their voice by one, allowing too many influences to influence their channel, that is, trying to make it perfect, hiding mistakes and cutting out (often crudely) flubs etc, and that becomes annoying when it's multiple jump cuts in a row. Too many creators are also "influencers", what exactly does that mean? I sometimes wonder if some creators are taking that too literally and perhaps a bit too far. Also, many may be finding that trying to cram too many subjects into a 10 minute video regardless whether it should be longer or not and I find that tiresome and rather frenetic, and others don't even bother to edit, much if at all, and thus lots of shots from afar that drone on for minutes before the move the camera in closer. My videos are varied in that they can be as short as 10 minutes or up to an hour or a bit more and on average I run roughly 30 minutes long now. I also edit, but when I need to jump forward, I often will utilize a cross dissolve, to lessen the jerkiness of jump cuts. I also find too many creators are struggling to find their voice, by trying to copy others, thus too many similar content from many channels. Some stand out from the sea of similar channels by being original in their presentation and how they go about it, others come off as too me too! Part of why I don't just subscribe wantonly to just any channel, usually. But finding that voice means, be yourself, don't try to be something you are not is key here to how some channels are successful, or not, and it's not all that easy to find that voice, so some "throw it at the wall and see what sticks" is necessary at the beginning, but I find if you just be you, the likely you'll succeed. BTW, the shortest video was shot in Oct, and was just over 2 minutes, 2 minutes and 15 seconds and it was a gorgeous sunrise one morning, then the next day, it was foggy. Showed that, and it's just a regular upload, no official shorts clip, but I find that on occasion, it can be not a bad thing if the subject warrants it, otherwise, I don't do click baits or any of that, as one, I find too many people dislike the click bait tactic, especially when it is treated as such. I recall all that when it was announced a couple of years ago and my reaction was, WTF?

  370.  @declaninc  It's not me worrying, I could give a shit if the anti vaccers get Delta and die to be honest, just saying that was the reason for the mandate, simple as that and I'm vaccinated and I wear a mask when I need to shop. As long as I can keep my distance outside, I don't wear one and my friends and siblings are all vaccinated, as are their children and grand kids when they can be (anyone under the age of 12, not yet).

  371.  @declaninc  Also, as the Real Cuddles points out, we need heard immunity, so the push now to make it so people MUST get vaccinated or else will get this country to that step, then the virus will die back. We may never be totally rid of it, but it'll be like flu, something that we'll just need to get shots for once a year or so to keep the virus at bay, but there will still be some deaths occurring, but not like it is now.

  372.  @declaninc  I'd suggest you get out from under a rock and edumicate your self on this subject, this being s skeptic is not good and you should be aware of what it means. Even now, there is a real concern that Polio may make a comeback with so many people not getting vaccinated, period and that disease is quite bad and those who had it up until the 50's run the risk of being put into the iron lung for life but now we have better technology to do the deed of breathing, but the very real concern for that to make a comeback is real. The same for the mumps, meals etc.

  373.  @declaninc  Dude, I never said I was scared, where did you get that? I was just quoting what I read, not what I felt, get with it. Biden didn't need to do anything, but since so many people are not getting vaccinated and causing the epidemic to drag on, he's had to put his foot down and now requite all Gov't employees and contractors to get vaccinated or show proof. I never had to prove being vaccinated, which kind of suprised me as how to they know if we are vaccinated, or not? Anyway, the time has come to prove you are vaccinated, or get tested for for Covid or quit. Sadly, it has come to that, but that is what it is and I'm all for it. Now, you can stop being igorant about this and educate yourself. It's no laughing matter. I'm glad you got vaccinated, but clearly, did so without a clue.

  378. Agree, but be aware that it was not always like this, though I will say this, that the Republican party has been sliding downhill for approx 50 years, ever since Jerry Falwell Sr appears to have given voice to the right wing churches and the Republican party has gone to bed with the Evangelical and Fundamentalist churches and only since Trump rose to prominence have they gotten way deep and crazy.

  379. Love little red trucks... That said, agree with what you are saying and I find you can't always please everyone, and some are never satisfied. That said, some of your audience may be autistic and can literally be literal in their interpretation of what's said too, just a thought. Fortunately, I'm not that literal, even though I was diagnosed as autistic almost 2 years ago at 57. When you were pixelating Lauren while both were pushing the lil' truck into the shop, my thought was likely either her shorts were in such a way to be a tad revealing, or she accidentally wore her short, shorts to work, thus being even MORE revealing, so yes, you did the right thing here. Respecting the wife unit.

  380. Ray, you were in my thoughts as I watched the Ryan Hall live stream last Thursday, wondering how you all fared. Seeing Lauren's upload on your channel brought relief that you all were OK and not near any major water (ocean), but had family staying with you all etc so may, or may not be uploading/working for a few days. Glad the shop was fine and back in business. I did see the upload of Anna Maria Island and then had a look-see via Google Earth. A beautiful area, or was anyway. I could hear the weariness in your voice as the video played and noted your state of mind. I totally understand. Keep on keeping on and take care of yourself. Glad you are getting back to a routine, even if slowly. Agree, this was likely not climate change but there are folks crying as if the sky is falling and causing more harm than good as a result. I do think the attitudes we all are seeing is in part in the US anyway, due to the political climate we find ourselves in, and have been in since at least 2016, and a certain individual has given us permission to act selfish and rude. Not that I like it, but it is what it is and I feel it'll likely get worse before it gets better. Take care of yourself Ray.

  381. Yep, experienced that once with WD's so called software. They weren't the ONLY ones guilty of this and when I bought my previous SFF desktop, it was recommended Macrium Reflect, but that was 2019 and sadly, no longer free. It did what it was supposed to do, and I got a nice image of my drive and had it handy to rebuild the image in my drive after disconnecting and cleaning out the computer of dust, then reinstalled my drives. Sadly, the image on the backup got gorked somehow so was dead in the water. But it did the job otherwise, but in retrospect, may well have had the drives reversed accidentally when that all happened. I am thinking EaseUS is what I will get as it is free.

  382. Agree. I got my current head unit, a JVC double DIN unit there in 2012 and it still rocks to this day. I put it in myself, though it already had an aftermarket single din head unit, but no USB/BT features. It was replacing the original double DIN unit in a 2003 Mazda Protege 5 wagon. Got all the parts needed to do the connection and it plugged into the stock head unit plugs and has been a solid unit for 12 years, so far... Using the stock factory speakers even.

I'm waging we'll get Trump probably sometime early next year.

  384.  @aminorityofone  I did similar too, switched to Verizon 5G wireless internet (using a 5G gateway as modem), it has WiFi capability but the ability to turn it off and has a pass through for the LAN so a separate router can be used, in my case, a wireless router from TP Link that gets the direct connection from the gateway, my desktop gets a wired connection, phone, only other wireless device for now takes up WiFi. The TP Link router replaces the now 5+ year old netgear router that lost the desktop IP address and I could not get it to reconnect/reestablish that primary IP address so hence the replacement router. The new router is better than the old one as one, its coverage is wider so now the back of the house gets a stronger signal (I live in a small house) and has NUMUU (?) so it does not bog down as much when more wireless devices are in use, of which the old router did not have. Works great and I get up wards of 2Gbps+ speeds down, upwards of 20Mbps up fairly consistent now with some upgrades to the network in my neighborhood.

  385.  @bane8305  First off, turn off the all caps, unnecessary. and secondly, this so called audio ear rings, as written by Reuters has been debunked. Even the manufacturer of the ear rings says Kamala's earrings are visibly different than theirs, and Reuters agrees, they got stills and a video clip and Kamala's earrings sway, unlike the audio ear rings. I think the conspiracy theories are likely found within/from Trump himself. Besides, no props notes were allowed at the debate, nor discussions with staffers within commercial breaks were allowed.

  387. Good point, I, too, run a router and use both 2.4/5G, however both of my machines are new enough to run 5G, the desktop, a Dell Optiplex has the 7th gen Core i5 in it, Windows 11 Pro. The new to me laptop has the 8th gen of the same, it's also a Dell, but the Latitude, running Windows 11 Home (should've been Pro and will get it fixed). The main thing is, the desktop is LAN wired, whilst the laptop is WiFi.

  389. I've been using a Windows computer since the early 90's when it began as a DOS box (4), my Dad upgraded it to Windows 3.1, then 3.11 and eventually upgraded that 386 to a 486, I then got the 386. You get the idea. The first 2 my late father had purchased, and handed down to me. Since the late 90's, I've been on my own with computer upgrades, but going refurbished, then I built a PC, running Windows 98 SE, then XP, then Vista, briefly Win 7, skipped 8, 8.1, got 10, and now 11. Each time, had no issues with them for the most part, if something was not "working", it was either incorrect solutions/instructions when Googling, so more Googling to find/figure out the solution and even then mostly to find out where a feature was. Most OS upgrades were with new, or new to me used PC's (refurbished) and see it as part and parcel of computer ownership, in part, being able to navigate online without issues.

  390. Guilty as charged on too many things open on my system, but I DO have 32GB of RAM and even that on occasion can become heavily used (24GB used out of 32GB) and sometimes with heavy CPU usage. I run a Dell SFF optiplex with the 7th gen I5 processor and it maxes out to 32GB. Before long this box will get upgraded to a full ATX tower based i7 computer and even there, maybe the current 14th gen, if not the 13th gen processor and 64GB of memory, running Intel discreet graphics, either Arc or Battlemage of the A770 variety. Yes, I have plenty of tabs open in FireFox, but also several programs, and several files open with at least 2 programs (mainly Libra Office and Audacity), along with Canva, several folders I'm working from, maybe Davinci Resolve etc and I often am toggling betwen them (alt/tab) frequently. On occasion have to reboot to reduce memory leakage as I don't shut down the PC, thus, it runs 24/7 and occasionally shut down tabs as I don't need them but even that still leave plenty of tabs open on the daily.

  391. A very good video on keyboards, I agree. I discovered years ago the old model M buckling spring keyboard from IBM. The station I did my work study at had even in the mid 90's, used "vintage" IBM's, IE, either 286's, or the 8088 before that, running Word Perfect. Since then, have wanted to find a model M, but soldiered on with my first several PC's with the bog standard rubber dome models, some were way better than others. Packard Bell was one of the worse for me as the 386 I had, the stock keyboard was giggly, keys too close together etc and it took getting a first gen MS natural keyboard to learn how to touch type. When that keyboard finally died in the early 2000's, I went back to the standard Qwerty keyboards and have not looked back. Been watching, off and on Keychron with his "obsession" with keyboards and discovered the various types of mechanical, magnetic, and optical key switches, and learning about how the rubber dome is constructed, I landed on either the Buckling spring or Cherry MX keyswitches. Today, I run a rather affordable Aukey mechanical, using Chinese clone Cherry MX blues. This keyboard is surprisingly durable, but noisy (and I like that) as it has a LOUD clicky, clacky sound, again, prefer that to silent. It's tactile, like buckling spring, has good weight for touch typing and for a fella that is tactile oriented, it's perfect. Yes, I am like Phil, I bottom out my keys when I type (yes, heavy handed). At the moment, one keyswitch does not light up at all, the rest continue to, though in other colors outside of red, some don't show the same color. Red is the only color that shows on all keys, though the /? keyswitch no longer lights at all. This is due to liquids (twice) have fallen on it, been cleaned once and then contact cleaner used on each key, key caps pulled and scrubbed/washed and the top, aluminum place scrubbed, sadly, not hot swappable but the cleaning did restore an almost new like appearance to it. HOWEVER, the key caps are crappy. They look premium, but are slick and NOT double shot, the F12 key cap is now badly scratched due to the keyboard tray that runs off the center rail. If I don't lower the tray enough, the F12 key cap hits the rail. When I get another keyboard, it'll be the full 108 Key, similar in profile to this one, but preferably hot swappable instead.

  392. Comer is a dimwit. In this video, his neck appears too big, his shirt collar too small, so he does his tie so it hides the fact. Unfortunately, one can see it all plainly. His head looks way too big for his pea sized brain and stumbles over his words. On another video this morning, another fellow republican on Fox tried to bad mouth Tim Walz and he, too, stumbled over his words.

  394. Wow, those 2 front tires, scary indeed. I've had similar issues, but didn't realize the issue until later. The first was some old I think Sears tires that were on my 74 Nova in the mid 80's that developed bulges in the sidewalls of several of the tires, one popped while delivering a pizza one morning, had to take the rest of the day off and get some new tires. Was not aware initially that this was the issue until one rear tire blew, then noticed the other wheels not too far behind. Ended up buying some Cooper Trendsetters on sale that day. Around 2000 or so, had to replace the michelin tires on my 88 Accord, and went with Yokohomas and by 2005, at least one front tire had tread separating. Didn't realize that until I was at work and noticed the situation. Funnily enough, I never felt the wavering while driving at the time. Then I think in 2022, had to have both front tires of my current ride, a 2003 Mazda P5 wagon replaced for yep, tread separating. No sign at all while driving so was not aware of the situation, but had to have the car repaired (leaking rear brake caliper) and the shop noticed both front tires were a problem too. Continental extreme contacts, one was old (2013, I think) the other a bit newer. I've, however, not had the belts show as the tires wore down that badly that I recall on any car I've owned.

  396. Ah, it's the ol' while I'm in there, I might as well... job. It can quickly get out of hand. I kind of have something similar going on here, Not auto related, but computer. I had a bee in my bonnet and went and bought a SATA SSD (1T) drive at my local Office Depot for $50 and was to install it yesterday, but instead, did what I'd been meaning to do for a while, clean my mechanical keyboard, so that's what I did late afternoon. Today, it's the drive (I already have a SATA SSD for OS/software) but my scratch disc is one partition on a SATA spinner HD, along with storage space labeled Files. That will get removed to an external SATA dock and the new SSD will be put in its place. That way, both scratch disc and editing is on SSD - all to enable the poor old PC to work a better, and buy time until I can do a full upgrade. Right now, I edit on an external spinner drive and scratch files are also on an internal spinner. But at least now, my keyboard is much nicer than its been so that's nice. As for your truck, if it'll make it be more pleasant and last a bit longer, then it'll be worth it. So I say, carry on!

  398.  @lassepeterson2740  Then why are you driving a stick in the first place? If you hate shifting, then get an automatic, or one of the manumatics that are often available, or the manual gates of some automatics. I have the old 4Spd Sport stick auto in my Mazda Protege 5 wagon (US model) and I use that all the time as if it's a manual. Always start off in 1st and yes, it's a short gear so must shift it sooner to 2nd than 2nd to 3rd. Occasionally, the autobox does not drop down to 1st, so I end up starting in another gear, but immediately have to get it to 1st, to take off, but the car is not the fastest anyway. Otherwise, it runs through all 4 gears quickly, but the performance is lackluster.

  400. Good suggestions and I've done many of them, including blowing out the 'puter every so often when I think about it. The last was back in January and that's when it all went wrong, I had temporarily removed the HD cage to my Dell Optiplex to ensure the entire inside was free of dust as much as possible and when I got it all back together and reconnected back up, hit the power button and BSOD, yup. No matter how I tried, BSOD and a major issue notification was displayed. SO, grabbed my old SSD (a lowly 120GB Patriot Burst SSD) and connected it to the spare drive's SATA connector and power and used Macrium Reflect to do either a clone or an image, image I think and it worked, or so it seemed, nope, nada, zilch. BSOD, same message displayed. SO, I then moved the Patriot to the main SATA (0) to act as boot, same thing, it was corrupted so the clone failed and took with it, the image that was on the old drive (it was used to clone the new Samsung SSD and did so successfully I might add) last summer even. SO,had to get a fresh install via USB retail and got myself back up and running. It's been fine since then. I've done defrag many times in the past, I've even modified the swap file size a few times, cleaned out the drives, the puter, and added memory (in the current box, it went from the 8G it came with to 16GB), cleaned out the cache, and a time or two, had to take out crap in the form of bloart ware if possible, try to figure out why the damn HD is overly active at times, and upped the drive size when the Patriot to 70% and started slowing the puter way down to the point it was barely usable. That's when I bought a new Samsung EVO 870 SSD with 500GB capacity for $70-ish bucks to replace Patriot with. Mind you, this Dell is 8 years old now but it soldiers on with an equally as old, nearly discrete NVIDIA graphics card that I put in it as I was NOT going to use the built in Intel graphics and the Display Ports. Another potential speed increase is to move away from the built in graphics card, either on the board or CPU for a discrete one as back in the day when 286's, 386's and 486's minus the DX math compressor really benefited from a graphics accelerator card (when they were still called that many moons ago).

  404. Thanks Leo. I see these all the time and have had to lambast several folks, both here on YT, but on Quora too, among other places to use their brain, you know, that gray matter between 2 ears and behind both eyes... Some of the questions I get are so basic that a simple search online will yield the rather simple answer, but no, have to hop on say, Quora and ask the dead simple question. On the other hand, some of the info on the web is rather incorrect, or out of date as the methods to get to where the solution is gets changed with updates and the article is several revisions old, or they leave out pertinent parts of the information that makes the directions unusable as they simply do not work, so I have had to do more googling to find a working solution. At least I use my brain for what it is, but I think so many do not. Even reading of descriptions on YouTube videos goes unread, and then someone in the comments ask a question that is in the description. Irritates me to no end. Agree with another commenters on error messages, they will often say, an error occurred, or Oops, something's wrong, as if trying to hide potentially technical info, or a fault on their end or something of the sort. Makes it damn hard to find out if the error was on their end, or mine. Speaking of errors, Windows is notorious for not being clear on how to solve an issue, especially now with the BSOD. Click on the code and you'll get an error, but sometimes even that is obtuse and clear as mud.

  408. I look at the polls as a snapshot of what's at present and is more for strategizing than it is anything else and really, should be taken with a grain of salt, or more. That said, I'm seeing a lot of channels that may not be legit on here with videos indicating problems with the Democrat party, one is in my suggestion feed where Harris/Walz campaign is crashing being one example. I should get my ballot sometime this week, and have already begun looking at the voter's pamphlets, one national, one local for my county. Ballot should arrive this week and I can then go drop it off at the ballot drop box, though I may take it to the county office drop box due to how Republicans are acting as of late and thus, don't trust them at all. BTW, voting Harris/Walz.

I'm not certain I agree with your assessment as a whole and while I WILL agree, likely it is the weakest of the bunch, but if it gets the ball rolling, then I'm all for it if other indictments come on its heels and Trump is found guilty and goes to jail. At this point, anything to indict Trump is good in my book. I didn't like the SOB when he was with the apprentice, let alone as president and a latent malignant narc.

  416. I heard yesterday on YT, and I forget what channel it was, but Trump has an IQ of 74, and much of his base is likely similar. I mean, he can barely speak intelligently, let alone with a complete sentence and constantly lies. That said, being on the low end of the intelligent score does not always mean the individual is that bad as some of us do understand and can function as adults for the most part but I despise Trump so am voting for Harris. I saw through Trump's BS once I became aware of who he is, which began with the Apprentice. He gave me the shivers and he seemed so smug and full of himself. Still is.

  417.  @DabbertjeDouwe  Well, consider JD was anti trump before he was elected as VP, then he went all in. He was schooled by Peter Theil who is an extreme right winger. Since he became VP, he's all Trump now, feigning fealty to Trump. The right wing factions have the Republicans in a tight grip, which includes Evangelicals and fundamentalists, of which evangelists like Jerry Falwell Sr gave voice to their cause over 50 years ago, and the republicans hopped into bed willingly and it's only gotten worse since the Reagan era (1980's). But most of this is speculation as I don't know all I should about Vance anyway.

  419. Very likely that house was built to the local hurricane code portion of the building code for that area. The same thing applies to other areas of the country for things like snow load, tornadoes, and earthquakes, depending on where it is built.
    1
  420.  @jeffsullivan3101  Likely so, but he HAS to follow at LEAST the minimum, if he built that house, but the code for that are there to compensate for the hurricane forces, so at minimum, his roof HAS to withstand the hurricane force winds.
    1
  421.  @jeffsullivan3101  I only know what I know due to some researching a few years back. Used to be that the building codes for the US was largely the same everywhere and it was discovered that if they broke it up to regions, and adjust the building codes to that region, it made much more sense. BTW, did not note that his house had metal roof so there is that. Thank you. BTW, there ARE parts of the country where local jurisdiction has no building codes, Not sure how many are like that, but parts of Idaho are but not certain if FL is one of them or not, but if not, he has had to build to code for that area, and I believe all of FL has to be built to withstand hurricanes, assuming the structure was built in recent years to begin with. Older structures may, or may not have been built to hurricane forces, but can be retrofitted to however.

  422. As a Washingtonian, and a Dem, I see a lot of this happening. In Tacoma where I live, a city that's been an industrial city for years, even has a good chunk of its populace also military, and yet, I see plenty of this nimbyism happening here. I live in a quintessential working class neighborhood, still intact for the most part and I'd love it to stay that way, but something I read recently is the cost of construction is part of the problem why housing is so expensive, you can't build for the low income, due to the general cost of materials - add to that the fact that housing here is often hard to find, with many houses now having multiple offers, selling for way over list price as a result. Upzoning is one avenue the city is looking at to solve this problem, but I don't think that'll solve much, if anything, and yes, the homeless are rife here. By the same token, I think part of the problem is, getting the rich to pay more taxes, and to raise the overall wages as now you can't even live on 20K/year anymore, and yet many are expected to do so. I think if that were dealt with, a lot of the housing issues will solve itself. Now, I do think the Dem's need to not listen to the overtly progressive young dems, and reign them in, but by the same token we also need to redo the republicans as they are so corrupt as to be in bed with the right. I find too many young people are too "woke" for their own good, with defunding the police etc happening, along with sentitivities to people's feelings as to not offend. That is one reason we see many use him/his/etc in their signatures in emails, or simply listing non binary pals. I'm not a fan of Jay Inslee, we've had way better Governors than him, though he is not the worst. It's sad that our state is like this, and Tacoma is loosing sight of being a great place to live with rising crime due to what seems to be a lot of police inaction now. I consider myself a Dem, but a centrist, and I suspect many of us are, and are now caught in the middle of this tug of war, and Covid is not helping things.

Most definitely, I have done it with chicken thighs quite a bit, just drizzle olive oil, salt and pepper over each thigh before placing on the pan, leaving skin on, bone in if that's what I have, otherwise, boneless, skinless will do. You can also do this with the breasts too. I tend to prefer bone in, skin on though.

Then again, I was watching your lips (yes, I read them) and yes, autistic, and have CRS with hearing deficits and was taught during speech therapy in the late 60's how to read lips. I don't rock, but do other aspects of stimming though. I only got into DSL in 2001 when still with US West (before they got bought out by Centrylink several years later), now I run 5G via Verizon Wireless. 50Mbs down, around 20Mbs up. fine for my needs, though they do promise up to 2G down and I do reach somewhere near that some of the time. BTW, your "harsh" edits are way better than most as it's not an actual jump cut.

  431. Totally agree with Marc on this. If Trump looses (hopefully, and we'll know as early as tomorrow), it won't be pretty as he likely will try to regain control, even if Harris wins, so I think 2025 could start out ugly, but I also speculate that justice could lurch forward and we see Trump buried legally, and in jail so fast his head spins before it's over.

  434. Had to replace my old desktop a year ago October and got a refurbished Dell Optiplex, a 7 year old i5 based SFF and it came with Windows 11. It's been mostly trouble free and it's really more than fine and not enough different than 10 in basic operations. I, however, do have a retail copy of 10 sitting on a shelf that was for the old SFF Dell Optiplex, though a 4th gen i5 model that had 10 (also bought refurbished), but it threw a code that said mainboard failure (turned out to be the CMOS battery having died, but finding out after the fact and the upgrade had already taken place). Mind you, the SFF was NOT my first choice for the present computer, wanted to get the mini tower instead but the place only had the SFF, with NVME no less for $170 so that's what I have currently. Saving up the funds for a total replacement in the coming year, like going ahead with the new 15th gen Core 7, likely the Ultra as it's what's available at the moment. So with that, will build it from scratch and initially put Win 10 and then do a free upgrade to 11.
    1
  435.  @9852323  In this case, the old dell was one, a 10 year old PC, running a 4th gen Intel i5 processor, and 2, it sprung a code for mainboard failure, turned out, AFTER the fact to be the CMOS battery needed replacing, but the newer PC was already purchased, and has NVME. I hope to replace this present PC by next year with something more robust than a 7 YO core i5, SFF from Dell. Both were purchased refurbished locally, the older PC was in 2019, and only meant to be for the short term because of dying hard drive and it's had many other parts replaced since I bought it new in 2009, first gen Core i7 that was then getting quite long in the tooth, but 4 years in, still on it... It ran an older Ferni based Nvidia GT 610, now deprecated, so it would not work with 11 due to no support for DX X 12 of which 11 requires. This was all in 2023. At that time, support ended for both Ferni and Keplar, Maxwell was still under support, as is Pascal. So now run a GT 1030 as it was one of the very few cards that'll work with the 188W PSU and the confined space of a SFF desktop. I hope to go all the way to the 15th gen Core 7 and Z890 chipset as LGA 1700 is at end of life for upgrading as it stops at the 14th gen Core series CPU's. This will give me an upgrade path, should I need it going forward. Not for gaming, but for content creation.

  436. Beginning last fall, had to unexpectedly replace my desktop when it threw a wrong error code (failed mainboard) when it was really, the CMOS battery that had died. But didn't realize that until AFTER the fact. Now I run a 7th gen Core i5 processor from 2017, rather than the 4th gen variant of the same (2013) and in February, bought a replacement laptop for a very old Inspiron from 2006 as pricing out replacement 40GB HDD for SSD would have cost me about as much as purchasing a refurbished laptop as the Inspiron ran IDE instead of SATA, if I could even find new IDE drives (doubt it). The laptop is an 8th gen i5, built in 2019 (early I believe). Both are Dell machines, both bought refurbished, both business class machines at that, running Windows 11, one Pro, the other Home. Both with i5 processors. Anyway, they are both OEM OS's and I still need to create a recovery disk, just not sure if I need 2 or 1 since they run different variants of 11. I have performed backups of both, each on their own drive (spare mechanical 500GB drives I have laying around). The next thing are all the externals on my desktop that are filled with data folders that should be backed up. But before I do that, need to go through documents and what not and consolidate/clean up of unfinished work that I no longer am working on and delete those, then get them all to ONE location, instead of scattered about on several drives. I still have a few pieces of software I need to reinstall, but have most of what I need for now for both machines. Mind you, the laptop does not need as much software as my desktop as it's not my main machine, but is for viewing YT videos at the kitchen table, and other occasional work, and for travel and capturing analog audio from the stereo. Just need a digital interface for that to happen. But all computers will need the occasional cleanup/maintenance and clean out of dust from time to time to keep them running their best. The biggest thing now is I frequently am running 13GB of my 16GB of memory on the desktop, and am thinking of bumping that to 32GB. Eventually, a new build will be in the works that will be something other than a SFF Optiplex, running an i7 processor of at least the 12th gen. First need to update my spreadsheet for that project and then begin to save the money.

  439. Oh yeah, I do it all the time. I have a laptop that plugs into a docking station and it has my digital interface (Focusrite) kept plugged into it, a combo dongle for both the mouse and keyboard as I can then use both as if they are remotes for starting/stopping a movie say. However, when I disconnect from the dock, I have the keyboard and trackpad to use when I need to use them. This way, anything plugged into the dock stays plugged into the dock and one USB gets connected along with the power brick as my laptop a newer used Dell Latitude does not have a USB C port to use for the brick, it uses a barrel connector instead. The ONE USB is strickly for Display Port alt mode and nothing more, sadly. I also keep a small dongle for a small travel sized mouse for when on the road and it stays in my bag, turned off to save the battery. It all works great.

  441. I'd heard of autolyse but have not done it, as right now, my bread baking is when I make pizza. I use the Fleishman's yeast recipe that's found on the pizza yeast packets and online on their website. I initially found the recipe off the packets, then got it from online. Anyway, it does not require any rising, but I do that step as I almost never use pizza yeast these days (it helps with reducing spring back and is much easier to roll out for inexperienced bread bakers). Anyway, I use the food processor for the initial kneading by putting in the ingredients and yeast/water/sugar mixture (to proof), the oil and salt, and about a cup and a quarter of flour or so and whizz up until it forms a ball and cleans the bowl some, then let it run for about 3-5 min, then turn out onto a floured surface. I do what I learned from the late, great Julia Child, and that is slap the dough around on the counter no more than 3 minutes before rolling into a ball and into the rising container, a 3.5Qt Cambro container that's been spritzed with cooking spray, then I spritz the top of dough and put the cover on it, and place it at the back of the stove while the oven is heating up to rise to almost double. That is the ONLY rise I give it, it's also like letting it sit and rest, except it rises to almost double in size. Then I pour it out onto a floured surface, and gently fold it several times then form a ball again, by this point, the dough is smooth and then roll out into a 12" pizza. This same dough can be rolled out to 16" for a thin crust if desired. It's easy to do and I can have the dough made up, rolled out, ready for the topping(s) and then bake at 550F for 10 minutes. Works every time if I don't screw something up in the process and happens every so often. I should say, I've done this for a while and have honed it and refined it to where I now use active dry or rapid rise pretty much exclusively and have added the rising step. This became the way when I got yeast whichever was available during the height of the pandemic when many food staples were scarce, like yeast, flour and sugar.

  442. Being a Chevy, likely many parts are still available. Example, many parts, including body parts are now available new for many older cars, including floor pans, and Chevy is one that many companies still make replacements for many models, including the older Square bodies. Just may not be able to go the OEM route though.

  443. I stumbled onto this episode just now and it brings joy seeing a vintage Dodge from the 60's being preserved. this one was in very good survivor mode for a convertible from the rust belt? Anyway, It brings back memories of my parents old Dodge 330 station wagon with the slant six. It was the base trim so had the torque flite transmission with pushbutton controls. Anyway, like this 880, it had AC, AM pushbutton radio, roof racks, wind deflectors on the D pillars, and full wheel covers. It was white with blue interior like this one, and came with only 2 lap belts standard, driver and front passenger, my late father added belts for the rest of the positions, front and back and had the dealer install them as we knew we'd need a new car to drove all the way across the country from Jacksonville FL to Washington State, and McChord AFB that year. We end up moving out of this area in 1967 to Tinker AFB in Oklahoma City, then to Jacksonville while he did his tour of Vietnam in 1968-69 and was asked where he'd wanted to retire, back to McChord and UP, which is what we did, so the wagon made the trip across the country twice. We'd ended up keeping the car until 1977 and sold it then with about 145K miles on it and a second transmission, still running, though not great by then. Due to that car, I have developed a soft spot for Chrysler products since then as we have had several other dodges/plymouths since then and I even had a 1968 Newport, never mind a base pillared 4 door for my first car in HS in the early 80's. Both my grandmother's 2 door base 330 and our wagon were white with blue interiors, hers stayed white but we repainted our car in 1968 in a sky blue and it's now one of my top colors for a car.

  444. I completely agree, though if you have to install something that asked you to temporarily turn off Defender, do so, then turn it back on, as soon as your done. I'm looking at you Adobe with CS4. Around, oh, 2013, 14? I forget, had to reinstall Adobe Master Suite for some reason and forgot to turn on Defender, and not long after that, I got a screen full of pop ups, and they kept coming, and coming, and coming, had to save files etc, then wipe and reinstall Windows (this was Vista), Again, began to install software, got to Adobe, and again, had to turn off Defender, install, but forgot to turn back on Defender. The same issue reappeared. Got infected, yet again, and I believe the registry was infected and Windows got gorked, yet again. After that second time, I DID remember to turn Defender back on after Adobe was installed and the issue never reared its ugly head again. The other day, I think it was Thanksgiving evening, my internet was unusually slow, running at best 20mbps, when it normally runs 180-195mbps, but the next morning, it was back to normal. This is why I keep a speed test active so I can periodically check my internet speed, and most days, I run well over 100mbps, often close to 200mbps, if not a tad above even that. I do have an issue, but suspect my graphics card, now 7 years old, and with 2GB of memory on board, computer has 32GB, and is a 7th gen Core i5 processor and I think the graphics card may be throttling as it sometimes when I go to another tab that is not YT related, and come back to YT, it stutters for a few before catching up, and occasionally it freezes all together. I know part of it is poor air circulation due to the card having to sit right next to the PSU with an itty bitty gap between the card and supply (SFF Dell Optiplex, planning on doing a full upgrade next year).

  445. West coaster here. Been cold here but has also warmed up to 40's-50's during the day, low 40's overnight, for now. However, it's been WET though. Some of the weather seen elsewhere in the US begins right here from northern CA to BC in the form of rain. Found a dry moment yesterday to take down the outdoor lights on my one tree out front. The extension cord still needs to be put away however. As for length of videos, 45 minutes to an hour often is fine for me, but anything longer, I have to split up. That said, take a look at Eric O @ SMA, and Eric at I Do Cars for how to deal with longer videos. Eric O will not always show both sides if say, doing brakes, but being that he also deals with rusty, crusty vehicles, he will show any differences/struggles the particular car may induce, but otherwise, will only show one side, or part of the other side where he feels it's important. Both Erics will show either cleaver editing of a repetitive process, like removing lug nuts, also speeding up as needed to keep longer videos to a reasonable length. When you had to deal with the LB7 diesel Silverado, that is when the exceptions come in as both banks are different due to what's got to be removed before getting to the injectors. Even there, some judicial editing/speed ramps can keep it from being too long. Yes, I know it'll mean more editing but can keep the video lengths from running away from you. I say, keep on keeping on Ray.

  446.  @mervynhogan7829  They are not talking about the pads, the FLUID, the hydraulic fluid that then operates the pistons that push on the pads. The interval for the pads will vary by how much braking you do, how hard you brake etc, and if you commute in heavy commuter traffic that is full of stop and go traffic (I was at one point and it did a number on my front pads).

  448. Also, anytime you add a liquid or fat, in this case coconut cream or sour cream etc to a dish, it'll dilute the salt a bit, so if you accidentally over salt a little, adding a spot of cream will reduce the saltiness a bit. The flip side is when you reduce, then the salts get concentrated and what tasted fine to start with ends up too salty when reduced so best to taste when absolutely done to ensure the salt amount is OK.

  449. Some states do have inspections, but not all. For the NE and maybe the midwest yearly inspections are common due to the rust issues, but places like FL or out west/desert SW areas, not so much due to the lack of rust out this way. Smog inspections, many states still do those, where I live, they got rid of the smog checks here in I think 2019.

  450. Unless on the coasts, it's not an issue down there. Salt air only goes inline a mile or 2 anyway. Salt air will cause vehicles to rust from the top down, not bottom up.

  451.  @_________________404  I watch Brad Colbow on YT and he tests tablets, among them, huion, XP, Samsung, yes, their tablets, such as the Galaxy series and some of those are reasonably priced. I may pick one up for graphics use for videos on occasion, but do have Epic Pen, but without a tablet to use it on, it's not usable much as is and I don't have a touch screen on my desktop. I do on my laptop, a Dell Latitude that can double as a tablet, but it lives in the living room most of the time and something like the Samsung may be better for use tethered to my desktop. I have an old Wacom Bamboo Fun tablet, but never could get the hang of it so it sits, gathering dust.

  452. Actually, from what I know, salting to taste is not to TASTE the salt per se, but how the overall DISH tastes. So add salt at the beginning, but be conservative as said, then add salt later, and be conservative, and add more until it tastes just right. Some of us are more sensitive to the taste of salt, and some like Morton, or store brand kosher salt can be easily oversalted and be too salty, whilst Krystal Diamond does not have that issue, and why you should use table salt in the beginning, and then kosher near the end, when adjusting seasoning. As to enameled cast iron? Yes, definitely, especially for Dutch ovens as they are a true workhorse in the kitchen for most cooks as they can go from stove or oven to table, and is heavy and can stand acidic foods without fear of ruining your seasoning. As to lower priced enameled pots, best to not go for the aluminum ones as those may be too thin, unless doing canning or boiling lots of water for a big batch of pasta. America's Test Kitchen has done tests to cast iron enameled pots and found some worked alright, some had handles that were too small, others chipped easily, and both Staub and Le Crueset both came out well, but did edge the LC over the Staub due to the less dark interior. One brand has been found to be well worth the price and is quite affordable (in the $50 or so) is from Cuisinart, believe it or not. I have an older one, but the enamel does not hold up well in the dishwasher as it's gotten all chalky and matte like, but I've had it over 10 to start with and is my 3Qt pot. I believe Lodge did alright too. So there are alternatives, just have to know how they performed is all.

  457. At present, I have 3 externals. One is a Simpletech 3.5" I bought in 2008 that is still going strong. Thought it used a WD drive, but it appears it actually has a Hitachi drive in it. I don't access it much as it's all storage, divided into video, photos and music (or audio) partitions. It's full for the most part, though photos and video partitions are not. Then I have 2 WD passports (2.5") mechanical external drives, one 500GB that WAS to be for backups, but the software from WD, I could not figure out if it actually saved, or backed up anything, or not, so abandoned things all together, however, did a clone of my HD using the then free Macrium Reflect and it did great in 2019, until I tried to restore my boot drive a couple of years later after a cleaning, not realizing initially I may have swapped SATA cables and the image got horked. That went that. Now, I have 2, 3.5" mechanical drives at 500GB each, both used, and from 2013/14, but to start off, it'll do. I will get cases for them eventually, but have an adapter that has a power supply, good for IDE/SATA drives for now, and I have a dock that can accept 2 drives that is connected to the desktop, and can do an internal clone of one to the other. I also have two Dell computers, one a laptop, the other a desktop (both business workstations, bought used. So one drive for each. Software will be EaseUS for backups and cloning. in 2008, I did tons of research on my first external, looking for defects, poor design etc, and one, a Hitachi had major issues on the 1TB and higher capacity due to poor ventilation cooling so the drives overheated, some had defective controllers, others bad USB cables (a bad batch at that time), and how frequently they were found defective, and if they had the capacity I was looking for (500GB), LaCie didn't go beyond 350GB being one example. In the end, the Simpletech (now owned by Hitachi) won out as it while not perfect, had the fewest issues overall than just about everyone else, and came in a 500GB capacity. As I said, it's been holding up, though in recent years, it stays powered up and connected, but I rarely access it unless I'm looking for something in particular going back several years that is on it.

  459. Interesting story. I ran into an issue with an install of Windows 7 two years ago where I had to upgrade from Vista that had just gone off support in 2018 and was running an older version of Firefox and some sites like MSN's Outlook no longer worked right so through the help of a friend, I found an image of Win 7 to install. It all appeared fine, I installed and registered it, all was fine for several months until the end of 2018, then the original 10 YO HD on my old Dell began to fail and I don't recall all that happened, but ultimately, I had to reimage the drive from the same source, only that source now no longer worked and became fishy and what I had was apparently belong slowly shut down by MS as it discovered it was not a legit install. Apparently, I may have downloaded what was an OEM image of 7, not a retail version, even had the key and all. Anyway, by this point, I was forced to reinstall (or try anyway) my old Vista OS but the drive failing, was losing sectors left and right and I tried to get a fresh drive, only to not being able to install a boot partition as disk part was corrupt - so ended up with a refurbished Dell Optiplex with Windows 10 Pro, an OEM image with product key sold to used PC retailers and the like other than upping the memory from 8 to 16G, I had to a week ago replace the 120G SSD that this machine came fitted with for a 500G version and I cloned the drive, all partitions and so far, so good. I still need to extend the C partition as Macrium would not let me extend the partition since I was going to a larger drive for some reason. So at least Windows 7, on they can get you if you try to cheat with the OS. Oh, MS did the same with my OEM copy of Office 2007 that I bought with the old Dell so now use Libra Office instead.

Had to drive up there with the driver's window down, but the AC working and the stereo cranked to hear it from all the wind noise. Got it fixed the next day despite the rain that came later that day. Was able to find the crank and get it installed before then. I do have electric windows, BTW.

  464.  @joe42m13  Yep, even on the west coast, in working class, rural counties, the minimum wage is now $15-17/Hr at many retail operations. Mind you, likely not guaranteed FT. But it's a way to FILL the job, otherwise it'll go begging. in 2018, it was found that the county I live in was needing to raise incomes and did so kicking and screaming. One company was asking for a lot of skills, then asking something like $12.50/Hr, had a time fulfilling the position, and was told by a temping agency to either reduce expectations or raise the income or preferably both. Not sure if they ever did or got the position fulfilled or not. But the deed was done, and most places now are asking well above the state minimum wage, which still is not to $15/Hr I don't think yet. Much of the working class type of jobs that used to reside in factories etc are increasingly in retail/office environments as technology has invaded most jobs, even in the factories you need to know how to work many machines that once didn't exist in the past.

  467. Sorry to hear of this, but as some have noted, not totally unexpected and you seemed to be ready to move on. That said, I think a lot of the so called "lack of workers can also be blamed on many employers making this problem worse by they treat, hire or get rid of employees, or don't and a lot of us are realizing this and some are responding in like kind by ghosting etc. I am not doing that, but having had trouble getting, let alone keeping work as an adult, it all came to a head late last year and this year, thanks, no thanks to Covid 19 and being let go as my position in a print shop at a local 2 year college closed down due to the pandemic. Age plays a part here for me as at 57, I'm nearing retirement and ageism is likely got a major role, and add to that, it's been suspected, but the situation made me pursue it and it turns out, not only am I a prenatal Rubella baby (known of that since birth) but now am Autistic as well (been there from birth too, but it is high function so not realized until many years later) and I may end up back at this same college in the same IT dept, but perm, and PT and I work on earning extra money through side gigs like YT. Applied to the position last week so am awaiting until it closes and then to hear back from my former boss and friend there to see if an interview is on the horizon. At any rate, from what I gather, you will land on your feet soon enough. Good luck!

  472. Not sure where your getting that, I am looking at the MSI Pro Z790 MB and it has 4 NVME slots, one directly from the CPU, (they are all PCIE 4), PCIE 5.0 for the graphics card, a plethora of USB 2.0/3.0/3.1/3.2 and USB C, WiFi/BT connectivity etc. Oh, it has I think 6 SATA ports, but are shared by 2 of the NVME slots if not mistaken. Oh, this will hopefully run DDR5 and an i7 processor. The point is, if you stick with the Z790 chipset, you WILL get all the connectivity for mid to higher end PC builds, but not when you go with the B760-H770 chipsets.

  473.  @valenrn8657  As for the socket, might be, but there are NO drives to support PCIE 5 yet. I have looked.

  474.  @cjadams7434  If you read my comment more closely, I said the SATA connections are shared by 2, or 3 of the NVME slots, and only ONE of 4 slots is tied directly to the CPU (NO 1), the rest via the chilpset.
    1
  475.  @valenrn8657  I know most Z790 MB's have Gen 5 NVME, but not the DRIVES themselves, most are at best, gen 4. The ONLY gen 5 lanes are dedicated to the graphics card, not the NVME. I was looking at a Gigabyte eleite that only had gen 5 for the PCIe slot, the NVME's were all gen 4. I later went with MSI for the MB due to how poorly they hand any RMA's, and they seem to be dealing with a lot of those also. Also, trying to keep the budget to no more than $1300 for the entire build, the MSI Z790 Pro is in the low 300 range, and is a full ATX board too.

  478. I have used Acrobat and when Adobe shut down the CS4 servers recently, I only discovered this when I tried to reinstall CS4 Master Suite, which contains Acrobat 9, among other programs and I could not reinstall due to needing to do a sudden PC replacement at the time, and no, not a drive issue, but "mainboard failure" issue, turned out to be a dead CMOS battery, but it never threw that code. Anyway, run PDF Gear now and in many ways, it's better than Acrobat. You can take a form, scan it into your PC, open it, and add editable dialog boxes for either you, or others to fill out, save as PDF (boxes get flatten upon resaving) and you now have a typed PDF form. I've seen these offered on rare occasions online, and can generate them myself, either for me to fill out, resend back as PDF or sent off as an attachment to a third party to fill out, resave as a PDF and send back to me, I was then able to download and reattach into a new email. Worked like a charm. However, fixing PDF's is another story, as you say, best to save as a Word or equivalent document, then resave a new updated version as PDF.

First off, according to reports from yesterday elsewhere on the Tubes (namely local news), both ballot boxes had fire suppression systems but the one in Vancouver malfunctioned and did not go off as it should have. I refuse to let fear over the what ifs get to me and will cross that bridge if need be if and when it comes to it. As it is, we don't really know FOR CERTAIN if any of this will actually pass (though I do think it's likely) but they could very well be all show and no go. That all said, I think we are likely more prepared to defend if the republicans (yes) should try to subvert the election, especially if Harris/Walz were to win, and I DO hope they do.

I bought a Rega P6, new from Music Direct, which is headquartered in Chicago, I live on the west coast and tracked it through Chicago to Wisconsin, to Minnesota, to N. Dakota, Montana, and through the panhandle of Idaho into Washington State, much of that trip was via I-94. It did veer off that highway in places before joining I-90 into Washington State, but it didn't go through the state, but went down and entered Oregon through the east side and through the Dalles into Portland and the warehouse in Troutdale (this all via FedEx), it got on the wrong truck leaving Troutdale and got quite a ways when it was discovered, and it had to go BACK to Troutdale and get transferred to the RIGHT truck to Tacoma where I live before it could make it on the local truck for delivery, a day late. Tracking showed it having made it back to Troutdale, was there for about 45 minutes before getting on the correct truck later that day to head my way. It arrived early that morning like, 4 something AM and it literally got to the sorting facility in downtown Tacoma, and right on the local truck, just in time for delivery. I got it a day late, but tracking it helped me plan for it. It was delivered to the local Walgreens store near my house as directed by the address I ave them as an alternative mailing address (as they work with Walgreens to be a delivery point) and I got it and picked it up after work. This was in May of 2020 during the height of the pandemic, shortly after it came real in March. So there is a lot to all this, and it doesn't take much to disrupt the supply chain and we are still seeing this now with my local Fred Meyer often being picked over in some things and it's most acute on Sundays as the store gets picked over before new supplies arrive. This is partly why I still shop at local stores because if they have it, I can just grab it and be home ASAP, rather than order something, wait for it to arrive, often days to a week later and pay the extra shipping costs on top of the item itself, and let's not forget the sales tax if you have it in your state (as we do). Then it's hoping porch bandits don't run off with your order, but I say that the onus is on US as consumers to mitigate that by having alternative delivery points available of you know you won't be there to pick it up off your porch. As it is, crime is getting really bad here and thus I must be vigilante with my deliveries to mitigate this issue, and it should not have to be, but it is what it is, until local jurisdictions and the state work to clamp down on crime. Agree with several respondents here that too many do not have an inkling as to how things get to them when they order online and expect it in as little as the next day and not get off the couch.

  488. Thanks for how AI should be used for. I find it overhyped for what it isn't (being capable of just about everything but the kitchen sink), much like the Cloud was when it was first introduced. That said, I think this has lead to abuses that stem from folks trying to get it to do their work for them (it can't, really), but can augment how they do their work, and can take out the drudgery aspects of many tasks, but not replace folks outright. I remember when there was a claim that won't need a large hard drive (or drive in the case of SSD's) as most software will be in the cloud. Well, that hasn't happened, and when it has, it's not always working smoothly with lots of lagging etc. Most still have to download and run the software locally to get around the lagging issues.

Mostly water and salt (hot water) and wipe with a paper towel, then on the stove over low heat to finish drying, wipe down with a tiny slick of oil.

  496. When I had more than one PC (Windows), I have tried to network them, often without success. Part of the issue was the very cheap WiFi dongle I had purchased at RE PE in 2012 to network my late mother's old machine to mine, both ran XP and one was, I kept loosing the connection (Mom's PC was cleaned up, a copy of XP reloaded back on as the original install got corrupted and it sat in the living room and I ran it wirelessly via WiFi but the connection was apparently unreliable. Fast forward to last year or the year before, again with the WiFi dongle, tried to network 2 PC's, one being XP (Mom's old PC) and a much newer 4th gen Dell SFF running Win 10, no dice and later found out the dongle had died. Fast forward to this year, 2 Windows 11 machines, one another Dell SFF (8th gen i5) running 11 Pro and a Dell Latitude laptop with 11 Home and it had built in WiFi. I was able to get them talking to each other, get both on the same workgroup, file share one or two folders (namely documents and music), set both to private, et voila, I can zip music files from one to the other, or the whole folder, especially if I decide to add a playlist to Windows Media Player for playback with the stereo via a docking station and digital interface. I also have a joint dongle for a Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse for use at the stereo in the living room. All it took was a bit of Googling for the instructions and I was able to get both talking to each other without too much difficulty.

  497.  @jeffjankiewicz5100  If the video you were intimating at is what I'm thinking that Subie Eric worked on replacing the rear wheel bearing was from 2007, so they'd be as rusty as that one was, however, the body from what little I could see didn't look all that bad. Then later in the day yesterday (Saturday), Coldwarmotors shows a Dean's Greasy Flips, a 1977 Pontiac that was very rusty, the wheel well on the driver side was almost totally rotted out, the floors were bad enough the seat when Dean sat down went all canterwampus on him. I've seen some quite rusty cars from watching Eric's channel and a few others, like VGG and WWWork where and that Pontiac was one of the worst I've seen on video. Even the 1966 Pontiac Dean showed right afterwords wasn't as bad, and it was a 4 door too.

  501.  @ezgolf1764  I don't use as much water than is usually recommended to boil the pasta itself and don't usually pour in my salt, do what Kenji Lopez Alt does, a couple of good pinches and that's all. Usually the water just covers most pasta. I will use a bit more for long pastas such as Spaghetti, fettuccine etc and even then, a saute pan works great for that, unless its in use, which is typically is for the sauce. Your reply makes sense now, but I don't reduce that can increase the saltiness of the water. The only time I reduce anything is once the sauce is made, I'll add some sour cream and reduce that just so when I move the spoon in the pan, it does not come back together right away as a way to thicken the sauce some, only exception is when making carbonara as the cheese will do the thickening, along with the bacon renderings.
    1
  502.  @ezgolf1764  Also, I will toss in 2 lades full the pasta water to help with the consistency of the sauce. But not reduce at all, other than little bit gets reduced as you thicken. This is when it pays to taste your food, and adjust IF it needs it for salt.

  504.  @laowai2000  Worth it if the system is already SATA based, not so much for older pre SATA systems however as you will have to also get a converter to convert from IDE to SATA and they run somewhere between 16-20 dollars on top of the drive itself, and then you may have to go with an M.2 form factor to make it fit in the existing cage, however, it's moot as you are now running through the low bandwidth of IDE/PATA to begin with, so you won't get the speeds of even SATA with your SSD.

  505.  @jeil5676  Nope, it's rolled like just about every other pasta, though some of them are extruded for some shapes. Fetuccini and Linguini are the same, just cut. You will need a special roller for spaghetti for your pasta roller. For Ravioli and/or Tortellini, you will need a rectangular dough with filling and then you fold and cut them into pockets that are sealed and for tortellini you then further shape them, but they are round, rather than square like most ravioli.

Most everything else on AC run on mains frequency (60Hz in the US) and most cameras have a setting for 50/60 Hz built in anyway, just need to turn it on.

  511.  @nonyabusiness557  Technically, Vietnam, if not mistaken, began when the French were attacked, and we came to their defense, thus we got dragged into it. The bulk of the issues with Vietnam was Johnson dragging it out, and Nixon took a while, but his big success was ending the war, though it happened AFTER he left office in resignation. Saigon fell in 1975, officially ending the Vietnam war. Sadly, Watergate overshadowed it all.

  514. Also, was watching to the end in the hopes you mention one I know of, hover. Most email programs allow you to do this. Just hover over the Ask Leo or similar and the email shows up in a dialog box. Often those are often NOT correct, spam. One I found many moons ago when I wrote an instruction sheet for 2 nieces at their step dad's behest is look at the domain itself, be it a website, or email and for Government sites, the GOV will be used, but if not, likely it's not legit. So for instance, GSA.GOV is a legit Gov website. However, if it says anything else like com or whatever, chances are it's not legit. This was over 20 years ago now so stuff like that was in existence then, as it is now.

  517. One I see a lot on forums especially are on tech, or editing forums, or forums for a particular software, like Davinci Resolve, Hitfilm (now likely defunct) etc is how many do not mention in any way, what they are using, what VERSION of the program they are running etc. Many NLE's for instance will have minim specs, as well as ideal specs for a particular version, and anything relatively current, typically have higher recommended specs over an older variant, and after you get them to reply with their computer, CPU, GPU, memory etc, come to find out, they were well under spec for the version they are running, and no wonder the issue is the program keeps crashing etc. Right now with Hitfilm, there are places, like Quora where you can ask about an issue with your software, and with Hitfilm, it's now run by Artlist, and they shut down the software's forum about 2 years ago, and likely have stopped supporting it, even though many can still download and use it. Many of us have had to say, don't use it, and why and give another avenue, like get Davinci Resolve instead, and likely folks have not a clue as to what has happened with Hitfilm. Before Hitfilm was bought by Artlist, it was considered one of the better free editing suites, and was even better if you purchased it. A one time fee, and a perpetual license is granted with updates indefinitely. Artlist went all subscription only, and offer a reduced free version but is locked to 1080 only or you get a watermark. So most of us that had been using it bailed. Anyway, it's not just tech stuff, but in general, many folks, as you pointed out don't give the whole story, so to speak, or read the instructions. Even on YT, most don't read the description even, when some of the most important links etc are in there and then ask in the comments when they could have taken a few moments to check the description.

  526.  @MrWiseinheart  Not true, they are out in the woods too. There are organizations that clean up the woods, IE, the public lands we visit, camp in and many a homeless and their ratty RV's are trashing the areas and as soon as they get cleaned up, they are back, trashing the place again. There are areas of the US where many of the public lands are closed off now because of this. Many an RV are likely stolen ones and a lot of cars are stolen and then stripped for parts and those get sold off too. So the police go and tag the vehicles after the homeless folks are rounded up and crews go and remove the vehicles to a holding area so they can be processed, then scrapped as most are not suitable for recovery, and all that AFTER they attempt to notify the last owners first.

  528. I'm not a gamer, nor interested in overclocking, nor water cooling, but I DO need to upgrade my PC. I run a run of the mill SFF Dell Optiplex with a 7th gen i5 and currently sits at 32GB of RAM as that's all it can handle. I do content creation, like you, have a channel and do my own editing and I can do OK on a 2GB of VRAM Nvidia GT1030 GPU at 1080P and want to move to 4K. Even as is, it does not scrub terribly smoothly, especially in reverse but I can edit on it nonetheless. I run an older version of DR, which does have the cut page and Fusion page, Ideally, should have 4GB, but with a weak sauce PSU (188W), I'm stuck with the 1030 due to not needing much power, and is low profile. I have been planning on Intel for CPU, likely the GPU, but waiting to see if Battlemage becomes available, or it'll be Arc A770. If battlemage, it's equivalent A770 like model. I'm looking at 1500 all told for the most part for the entire build, not including the monitor as I had to replace that recently. It's 4K, IPS panel and is a budget friendly model from Dell. Yes, I can see 4K videos on this present system, but would love to run DR 18.6, or 19 but can't at the moment, so run DR 16.

  529. I have been a long time user of Windows, going back to DOS/Win 3.1 in the early 90's, though some sporadic use of a Windows box before that point (late 80's). I run Windows 11 currently on a brand new build I put together in January and throughout most iterations I've used (3.1-95/98, some ME, a smattering of 2K, XP, Vista, some Win 7, then 10, and now 11 Pro. The bigger issue is where same feature is now found in the newest variant of Windows and once I figure that out, I'm fine. I do wonder if the current CEO is at fault, recently, I've seen some comments regarding many CEO's (and Trump) as being narcissists, or psychopathic, or sociopaths in nature, and there may well be truth to that as it was speculated with the CEO of United Healthcare when he was murdered in recent months. This I can see as when Bill Gates left Microsoft, the company went downhill it seems and that feels not good as they were instrumental to the birth of the home computer and its popularity through wide adoption and comparability. I find that from what I've read, Linux CAN be a solution, but knowing the good distro's that are windows like is all together different and many programs now have ported their products to Linux these days, but not all though. At this time, I would rather just keep using Windows until it becomes no more and then move to a windows like distro of Linux.

  530. This is why I don't use Google Docs, much of it is in the cloud, and you can't easily save to your own internal storage drive so now run LibraOffice as I can easily save locally. This is due to not having a working copy of MS Office as I had an OEM copy that I could not transfer from the original PC it was installed on when I was forced to replace it in 2019. Libra uses the kernal from an older version of Office if not mistaken, but it's free and works a treat. Sadly, I don't have the ability to do true newspaper 2 colum word processing however and it's perfect for video scripting for video production work. Anyway, I don't rely on the cloud for anything but short term files I need to share on forums etc on occasion. I'm finally working myself up to do backups again and use EaseUS ToDo for that. Need to do updates for data mostly. I have always looked at things from a pragmatic POV, which is why I have not used AI as yet as I see it being oversold as well.

  537. Scrolling through YT on my phone and came across this and watched it. Then later rewatched on the PC and noted first off, the first guy at the very beginning did so many things wrong, like turning off all lights, and not hitting flashers, then he gets in and out of his car at least twice, then is hit, with him inside, then he gets hit at least twice more as other people pile on. Sad, but none of them bothered to hit flashers, most of these I think were older models that didn't have auto flashers in case of an accident, and no one bothered to turn them on. One car still had lights on, horn blaring. One car looked really bad, but no airbags looked to have deployed, if the car was new enough to have them. This being from the west coast, so not so uncommon to drive older vehicles. Anyway, horrific accident, but good that many did use their heads and had flashers going as they slowly went past the accident scene, and more on the side of the road, but too many others going too fast, not bothering to slow down etc, several of them came close to causing more accidents as they suddenly veer to the right, one guy actually hit the wall in the process. As bad as it was, it could have been even worse.

  539. Another one is wifi router failures. Word is that with many routers, you need to replace them every 5 years or so. I bought my first stand alone wifi router in 2016 from Netgear, and it did great until it dropped the Mac address for my desktop computer, and no matter how I tried, it would not pick up the Mac address, this was around a year ago. Don't recall ever remembering to check for firmware updates, but the router would not see my desktop so my internet was severed there. By this point, the router was over 5 years old, so bought the TP Link Archer 80 router and installed that and I had my internet back. Currently, running Verizon 5G wireless internet and its gateway occasionally needs to be reset, then my router is able to see the internet after a few minutes. I have updated the firmware at least once on the current router and perhaps the gateway as well. I rarely have internet issues, but YouTube occasionally slows down, a refresh of the browser seems to solve that. I do keep my router out in the open so that helps with heat buildup.

  542. I just watched the French Chef with Julia Child and for Beuf Burgenon, she did brown the meat first before the wine and into the oven to cook for something like 4 hours and she says, to leave it alone while in the oven. Hands off in other words. She even shows how to saute mushrooms, clean them and to cut them, and how to do the pearl onions, as in, how to boil them briefly and then peal then, though these days, you can get them frozen in bags in your grocer's freezer case. Anyway, fun to watch her in her this show doing her thing. I suspect this was the preferred way to do a dish like this even back then, or earlier.

  544. Adam, A good video, however, I should point out that your knife and the camera, don't worry about the camera when cutting, that is, we can see how things get cut either way. Most chef's that cook on camera don't worry about the camera either and this is especially true for righties that often have the blade of the knife out front in front of the camera. Never try to angle your cutting for the camera, as that can cause problems with cutting and getting cut if not careful. As to the claw, I do it, though not always exactly as it should be performed, but it's helped me keep from getting nicked, though I have nicked my finger nails a time or two. I am not the fastest, but decent enough for home cooking, but getting better at it. One aspect of home cooking that should be kept in mind is you have to deal with a lot more than most pro chef's tend to per shift as you are cleaning as you go, cutting/chopping, sauteing etc for the full meal, while most chef's may be cutting vegetables the entire shift, others just assembling the entree etc. For the home cook, more to distract us and more likely to have a screw up so decent to good knife technique is preferable for the home when cooking for safety if nothing else.

  545. Love those old Rangers, had the 4.0, 5Spd 2WD top trim version of one, a 1992 flavor. Great truck, but not perfect. One issue is the slave cylinder is inside the bell housing. To replace, you gotta split the tranny and then get to the slave to replace, rather than be on the outside. Not one of Ferd's better ideas. Still though, loved it for what it was, and it gave me largely good faithful service for 7 years between 2006-2012.

  546. Yeah, inclined to agree, this was a northern car that was bought and "fixed" up being likely, and done by either a redneck or a shoddy shop. Looks to be a gussied up 383, mind you with Mopar parts, but gussied up. At least the clock does appear to work. I saw the second hand moving... Outside of getting it into the garage, that car while looking good, from a distance, is all show, no go in the literal sense currently. Part of the issue is all the crap screwed into wimpy battery clamps. If asking to ditch the car/refuse service, then I'm inclined to say, yes and explain why, unless this is the guy's doing or he bought it this way.

  549. Way to go Sheryl. I remember she made the scene with her first CD, Tuesday Night Music Club in 1993 and have her 2nd and third CD's during the grunge years. I'm of an age where I was still in my 20's when that whole scene began, beginning in the late 80's. At that time, some of the bands finally came to my attention, Edie Brickell and the new Bohemians' first CD, Shooting Rubberbands at the Stars (1988) and 1991's Out of Time by REM. While a buddy of mine was into them during Murmur and Green, and I knew a few of their songs from the radio, but it was Out of Time that cemented them in my mind, then Sheryl Crow. That was a musically rich time in my life as I went from my 20's to my 30's and part of that was a new radio station that went on the air in the early 90's, KMTT. An FM station in Seattle that played a wide smorgasbord of music from the mid to late 60's to then modern bands like Blues Traveler, Dave Mathews, Sheryl Crow etc and rarely played a song twice in any given day. Anyway, any way we can combat Trump and Musk is good in my book, just as long as we make an effort to take then out of power.

  552. Autistic, intellectual disability and with congenital rubella, and yet, I learned how to manipulate a computer when my late father bought his first in the early 90's. A Dos based Packard Bell Legend 386 SX, so a cut down variant of the DX version and he managed to upgrade it to Windows 3.1 at minimum. Today, I run a 7th gen i5 desktop (dell Optiplex) and an 8th gen i5 Dell Latitude laptop and got it to network together at 58/59. I plan on building a newer i7, 13th gen desktop (ATX) desktop this year. Not my first, built an older AMD Athlon 800 based desktop in 2002 or so with 512 MB of RAM (the shniz at the time), bought the MD/processor/memory all barely used second hand from a friend that decided to do a major upgrade. So these days, I zip files via the ether (WiFi) between the desktop and laptop (both Win 11) and can edit videos, use a DAW etc. So while I may be 59, I don't consider myself all that old in comparison to some folks, neurodiveristy be damned.

  554. As far as Hunter's pardon, that's what I've been saying since the new broke at the beginning of the week, that what President Biden did to pardon his son Hunter is playing from Trump's playbook, after all HE pardon his SIL Jarred, so why not Joe Biden do the same? Fair is fair. Besides, NOTHING of this race was normal, not with Trump running again for president, and trying to dismantle our country and turn it into a fascist state. So once President Biden saw Trump's threat for Hunter, he took action, and rightly so. Had to say as much to some folks who felt he shouldn't have pardoned Hunter.

  555. Now, I KNOW he does not give a shit about anything pertaining to the rule of law (or the constitution for that matter), but there is NO evidence at this point to say if he will, or won't succeed with his plans. Already, the dog pile of lawsuits are piling on, and some of them ARE the executive order he put forth on his first day in office. Nothing is inevitable at this point so I don't believe in calling anything just yet. Lawsuits will take time to go through the courts and be tried/heard, and we don't know how the Supreme court will go as a video has indicated (have not watched) that they may already be having enough of him and we've barely begun this term. So, I won't call anything until the fat lady sings, and it will, but when and the what remains to be seen.

I found this out myself when one part goes bad, many other components go with it, not that they also are bad, but one thing affects several others, in other words, at least on Mazdas as that was what I discovered on my protege 5 several years back, ultimately, the timing was just a tad off... The timing marks on the cams were correct, just not totally level. Fortunately, non interference so no biggie as far as valves go. Your tenaciousness pays off in a bad section of harness in this case, but in a bad spot as far as the fix itself is concerned. But a hurricane may have to make this wait...

  558. Last fall, I had to expectantly replace my computer, an older Dell SFF Optiplex with a newer, but used/refurbished SFF Optiplex, and ended up having to replace the graphics card as the old one, an Invidia GT 610 would not play nice with Windows 11, only to find out why, Ferni, and by extension, Keplar had been depricated, so anything Pascal or later were fine and had the updates for WDDM/DX 12. So had to replace that with the GT 1030. That begat a monitor replacement. My main monitor is a 1080P Dell workstation monitor I had picked up last spring/summer when the older Dell monitor of similar specs died after being used for over a decade. So then tried to utilize the still working 20" Dell 720P monitor, but the new graphics card had no VGA port, only DVI-D and HDMI. So I replaced that monitor with an Onn brand 22", 60Hz monitor for $80 and could get it locally. For a 1080P monitor, it's been quite good. the background photos from MS are really good, clean and full of detail. Yes, the controls are on the bottom edge, but in the middle, and are highlighted by a blue LED when off as the power button is there also.

The entire back axle of the Dodge, and the trunk were smashed good, and the axle was free from the car. This video was from Midwest Trucks, and Ron is one of the members of the family that owns the business and tape them for YT. This was a call he was on. I mention this as it's not uncommon to have that happen where people do not pay attention.

  562. Brian, Not totally agreeing with your guest as one, I don't agree that Biden should never have run. Unfortunately, there was no one else BUT Biden on the Democratic side, whilst there were something like a half dozen contenders, along with Trump on the Republican side. Unfortunately, no one could match the Donald and had to drop out, but that may well have been a plan, so to speak anyway. I DO think many in the media did try to smother what Biden did, especially in his first 2 years and folks thus forgot what all did go down and was accomplished, even if it at times did not feel like it affected folks much. I felt those changes, and now am the recipient of the ACA due to disabilities, but we need to reign in medical costs for certain as that is part and parcel will go a long way to convincing folks that the ACA is beneficial. That said, I do agree that Biden could have done more to reign in costs overall though. I'm not one to count my chickens before they hatch and felt the Democrats for demanding Joe to step down, when it seems it was cold medications that affected him at the debate, but when HE decided, on his own terms to step down and then nominate Kamala to run, then I was like, OK then. I voted for her and Tim. Anyway, seeing already some fallout from those that voted for Trump within individual families, in other words, consequences to their choices as it affects us ALL. I started out voting for Reagan in 1984 for my first major election as an eligible voter, but by the early 90's switched to Democrat and have been Democrat ever since. Even then, some 30+ years ago, it was obvious that the Republican party was riding roughshod over the Democrats, and the Dems let it all happen by not having any spine to stand up to the other party. I think when JFK went into office in the early 60's, the Democratic party slowly lost touch with the middle class and the Republicans supposedly was for the middle class, but it was all lip service, and has been for 50 years as they jump into bed with the Evangelicals and Fundamentalist right. While I do prefer the Democrat party, I think they lost the plot by trying to be all cerebral, at times lean too progressive for their own good. If anything, Biden should not have pushed EV's like it was as one, most of us can't afford them, let alone want them and preferred our ICE engined cars, and some are still driving old, high mileage vehicles because one, we can, and must due to the costs of cars now. Anyway, off my soap box.

  570. Something to be aware of, running out of support OS will, as Leo and I think others have said, make it so some software fails to be supported, once they realize you are running an older out of support OS (anything before Windows 10). This means most browsers will force you to use an older version that will not play nicely with the web and most websites (ask me how I know this), and Opera, while still supposedly supported and will give you updates for older OS' that are out of support (XP for instance), I have had issues getting it to work, getting the downloader to function, let alone Opera to open up and browser to a website. Also, some software like Audacity will force you to run an older variant of it until you update to a supported OS (Win 10+). Also, if you keep using older versions of software, just be aware that they will go out of support eventually by the software vendor themselves (Adobe, I'm looking at you). I used to use the CS4 version of the Master Suite and this past fall, had to replace my old PC (a 10 YO Dell Optiplex) for a newer one (it's 6 YO and runs Windows 11) and when I went to install, from DVD, CS4, found out the servers were shut down by Adobe so could not even install it and have now had to find alternatives. So I now run the latest version of Audacity for any DAW jobs, have a temporary work around for editing photos (no Photoshop), you get the idea, and run Libre Office for MS Office and PDGear for all PDF work as I'm not paying a subscription to Adobe for the present creative suite. So keep that all in mind if you insist on running an old OS like XP or Windows 7. I had thought about Linux, but when I was still running older Windows based software, finding workarounds for all that was more than I was cared to tackle so stay with Windows. Besides, having run both 10 and 11, I don't find either bad at all. Certainly, both are way better than Vista. 7 was fine, not familiar with 8-8.1 as I skipped right to 10. Now, to be fair, the 64 bit version of Vista was not all that bad, but I've hears the 32 bit version was worse and accounted for much of the issues with Vista.

  572. Back around 1998/99, I had the same issue with an 88 Honda Accord LX-I 4 door before fuel injection became mandatory on all cars, and the LX-I became the EX and yes, it had all power everything, including sunroof, though it had the 5spd transmission. Anyway, had the Honda garage clear them out, which meant the front and rear tubes got checked/cleaned out. Once that happened, and it did include lowering the headliner to gain access. After that, it was fine. The car eventually got a new wiring harness for at least the right headlight as it was a pop up style and the raising/lowering of the headlight housing wore it out. It eventually got rear ended and the car developed leaks and I got rid of it for a 1992 Ford Ranger in 2006.

  575. Now a days, many colleges, including 2 year state colleges are running full 2G internet, at minimum, with internal switches capable of the same using RJ 45 connections with smart ports that shut off if you swap PC's that have a different IP address so the network guy(s) needed to be aware and reset the port. All phones are VOIP based phones so if you first note no dial tone, chances are your PC is not getting the internet either. Your port has shut down. The 2 year state college I worked at was upgrading to 2G internet internally and externally and have wireless nodes for personal computers and/or phones. The internet and networking has come a long way since the 90's and the college also runs modern Dell computers, a combination of desktops and laptops.

  580.  @mytimetravellingdog  I don't know where you live, but even the low end stoves here in the US are more than usable. The stove I have now is radiant and is a low end GE so no self cleaning, nor convection and it's very good for a basic stove. All 4 burners work and they are about 9" in diameter for the larger burners (have 2) and about 7" for the 2 smaller ones. The stove is a 30" wide unit, which is the standard width for stoves in most homes here. The oven easily does a full 550F so can cook a pizza easily and do it in about 10-12 minutes. My previous apartment had a 24" wide electric stove, not radiant and it was just as capable, only it had one large burner. The new stove that I got in 2015 that replaced the old one didn't have an interior light, let alone a window in the door, nor the storage drawer below, but it was a good little stove to cook on. The new stove did have I think a bit larger large burner as it was noticeably larger than the 3 smaller ones. The old stove, a Kenmore from Sears from the mid 90's the large burner didn't look all that much different in size.

  583. All very good Jay and well needed. I noticed something when "shopping" for new parts for a PC build as I NEED to go on from a now 10 YO Dell SFF optiplex with a Core 15 processor and a wheezy and about as old graphics card with a mere 1G on it (Nvidia GT 610. It was what I had from a previous PC that I had to replace on short notice and it was a decade old and carried the graphics card over as one, it fits the SFF, just). Anyway, I'm not gaming but editing, and was running Premiere Pro CS4 (yes) and then HitFilm but it's future is now uncertain, so now have jumped to (at the moment) Davinci Resolve 12.5.1 as it'll work (yes) on this current box, as long as I do the KISS method and no higher than 1080P. That said, am if approved will be going with the Intel Core i7, with iGPU/fan, The Nvidia RTX 3060 w/ 12GB, DDR5 memory (32GB), the Z790 based DDR5 motherboard from MSI at minimum with Win 11 and will then jump to DR 18. I was going to go with Gigabyte but after hearing about their RMA issues, decided to go with MSI, and both had identical specs for their boards, including 2.5GBe ethernet, WiFi 6e, BT 5.3, PCIe 5.0 lane for the graphics card, 4 for the NVME drives, you get the picture. Seems that no matter who builds the boards, it's a tight race, and with identical, or near specs, so it then becomes what board do you like the looks of instead, and the RMA issues, if any. Total build is going to run somewhere between 1200-1500 bucks, with case and OS. This way, I future proof and not have to do a total upgrade of most of it sooner, rather than later. I'm also thinking eventually outputting to 2K, if not 4K if it comes to that. Some of my decisions came from inquiring with Blackmagic/Davinci Resolve folks, Richard Lackey and Simon Says for the most part on what Davinci needs and then build it with that in mind and it'll be more than enough for the rest of the software I use. I just weeded out the cruft and decided on what Davinci needs to run smoothly and costs, finding out that DDR5 does not seem to cost all that much more than DDR4 now for the came memory capacity, and I can get a Z790 based board for 239 or so (MSI), the processor is I think $350 or there abouts, 32GB of RAM (2x16) runs just over $100, and Amazon, Newegg and B&H are very close, within a few bucks of each other, barring any coupons. I'd go with Microcenter, but from what I saw, the choices are not as vast online and there is not a store in Washington State, sadly, and of course, Fry's is long gone, used to have a store here and I've bought stuff from them in the past. Looks like there is ONE chip, but with various tweaks, like overclocked or not, GPU or not, cooler in the box, or not, but the very same processor per each core model for Intel at least. Anyway, it'll be interesting to see how this all plays as far as my new build goes.

  585. First off, I agree, he should not be out of his car, and most of these I think predate before automatic deployment of the hazards, as this is I think west coast so cars before 2012 or so are still quite common on the roadways here. I think it was 2012 that we began to see this on new cars. The Fiat 500 had them when introduced here then. I know others have as well. But if your car, like the first car, an early 2000's Toyota Senora I think sedan likely didn't have them, but they should have been deployed, even if manually.

  587. I am now working with a buddy to upgrade my aging Dell SFF that is now 10 years old, yes, a 4th gen Core i5 processor and it was supposed to be a short term replacement but 4 years later, here we are... The motherboard I am likely to go with will have everything I've been looking at, and a few that I was not looking at initially. It has WiFi, BT (for the mouse at least), 4 NVME slots, 3 are regular NVME slots, with one that is for the OS/software drive (directly lane to the CPU), has the SPDIF out and DP for the iGPU, Z790 chipset, PCIe5 for the graphics card etc, and it'll set me back 239 or there abouts. I WAS looking at a Gigabyte with almost the exact same features that was a bit more (still less than $300, the Arous? Elite ex or something like that. The board I'm looking at is an MSI Pro Z790. I decided on the MSI after hearing not so good news about Gigabyte having terrible issues with RMAing the boards and how poor they handle the issue. I felt that was a reasonable price, of $250 or so for a board. I'm sure for less features, one can get a board for less. Yes, both boards are for DDR5 (trying to future proof) for editing so no need to upgrade for a while, outside of upping the memory down the line from 32 to 64GB. Both take Sata III with 6 headers that share the lanes with the NVME's. I'd use the SATA for long term storage of video projects as I can stick spinners in there and have NVME for all projects in progress, including scratch disks.

  589.  @dillonjamescole  Well, I saw him having to lay the jalapeno on its side to cut the last side, and the bell pepper, it's wide enough to do that more easily, and having watched America's Test Kitchen, they often use the spoon to remove the seeds of a jalapeno, and it does seem to be in some ways, easier due to the fact that the pepper is taller, thinner than a bell pepper that is side enough to be stable as you fillet.

  591.  @jwalker7567  I don't think that's correct. We have split phase 240 in the US, which is for dryers, stoves etc that need a full 240V. For my dryer (electric), the heating element needs both sides of the 240V to work and I don't think we even have 10Amp in new construction/electrical upgrades now either. My house is old, initially built in 1908 and likely didn't have electricity initially and may have had gas lighting for a while in the beginning, maybe a hybrid of both. Anyway, 2 additional bedrooms were added to augment the single bedroom it had in the mid 80's and the electrical service was upgraded to modern 200A/240V service but using a Federal Pacific circuit breaker panel which were a known issue even then, but still installed in thousands of homes at the time. I had it replaced when I bought the place in 2016 for the reason of it being an unsafe design. Anyway, the dryer requires both halves of the 120V, though technically, it's really 122V per side so 244V total to make the heating element work, so when the timer began to go, half the time I got no heat. Then the following year, the start switch for the dryer motor went bad and it killed one side of the split phase 240V, disabling the heating element to even operate. Once I cleaned the contacts and put it all back together, it's been working just fine.

I still got more to shuffle around to bring all documents into one place, photos to mostly one place etc as it is now, stuff is scattered among several drives. So, copy and past is how you do it. Yes, I recall the move function, but I think it was redundant as the cut and paste did essentially the same thing. The reason for the files scattered was due to running out of space, and having to move files to wherever there was space and now I have the space to consolidate, I am moving stuff to one spot, finally.

Trump is a Narc, a malignant one at that, and he uses everyone, including the rich for his own gain. When he has used them up, they become useless to him and he will discard them like trash. Yet, they hang onto his every word. Likely, many may have cognitive issues of their own. Irony is, I have disabilities, and intellectual disability is one of them, along with autism and I CAN SEE THROUGH TRUMPS BULLSHIT. He's a grifter of the first order. I prefer he be dead instead, but also know that we need proper closure in this country, so let's send him to jail and live out his miserable life, and it's looking like the first domino may be falling. He can't post bond, Latitia now can go after his properties. Good riddance.

  599. I don't know why GM is insisting on doing this cylinder activation thing, they keep failing, going all the way back to 1981 with the 8-6-4 motors that ran one year. Derrick of VGG got one running and I forget if he deactivated his or not. I think he did. Anyway, good luck with it. Loved how yesterday, you tried to get the Cobalt on the ramps and failed, the hood drops down. I thought it funny. I am dealing with a broken car myself now. My 2003 Mazda Protege 5 wagon with the non interference 2.0L 4 pot is still hanging in there, but the front end is wonky when it did "battle" with ice/black ice doing a left turn and lost, sliding into the curb, hitting it with the face of the wheel. I think I will use my magnetic mount and GoPro to see if that right front wheel is out of true as it turns (in/out) while I slowly run it around the block. I need to figure out how to get the smaller sized floor jack from the 'Freight up a tad higher for the jack stands to fit so I can safely get under it and remove the shield that's underneath the motor so I can see the tie rods, steering rack etc. Wish me luck... BTW, have over 200K on this old thing too. BTW, I enjoy your positive attitude, especially in these trying times. As a neurodivergent, living on SSDI, while I'm not panicking yet, I am keeping an eye on things as far as my SSDI payments drop next week, IF it drops that is. I refuse to be all pessimistic until it actually happens, but the worry is in the background anyway. So far, no notifications in the SSDI website or in the mail. I just hope I'm not being too pollyanna-ish about it however.

  600. Don't be so sure about that one. Jack Smith is onto her for just such things and can remove her if he finds it necessary.
