I find it in a box at the grocery store in the laundry aisle. In Canada the product is even named Borax, but if you’re somewhere else you might have to check the ingredients on products if they’re covering it with another name (e.g. how “Mrs. Dash” is just MSG).
AXE THE PICKLES!
This warms my heart more than anything else this election.
If this resonates with anyone, I strongly encourage reading Ed Zitron’s writing. He takes a big shit on Big AI and brings receipts on why it’s not even compatible with capitalism, which is the only thing propping it up.
That was my first assumption but it’s seeming not to match with what happened.
No official statements yet, but eyewitnesses report an Asian male.
Moreover, the cops have only said they’ve had numerous interactions with that person in a “variety of situations” over a long period of time.
It does seem like the “solo lunatic” angle is correct from what’s available so far.
Oops, you’re right but it’s still the same scenario. The manure is just a little more expensive and your truck bed smells for longer.
Annually, by a doctor. Once you turn 80.
Other than that, never once after you pass the initial test at 16.
“Extended lunch” didn’t attract any cameras so they had to workshop the name.
All I can say is thank goodness you took the time to comment.
If you have a truck and are doing gardening, you drive it to a landscaping supplier and they’ll drop soil in your truck bed with a backhoe by the cubic yard.
…the fuck is taking their truck to Walmart and buying tons of soil in plastic bags?! You’re defeating the entire purpose of having a truck.
But if you bought a Cybertruck, mayhap you don’t understand what trucks are for. Which is forgivable - there’s a lot of that going around these days.
It’s reasonable to have a store provide a service where an employee processes the customer’s items to check for damage, verify prices, and bag them intelligently.
But it’s not worth the risk of getting the wrong chatty cashier.
No, I’ll roll the dice and scan them myself. If I hit an “unexpected item in bagging area” error that requires someone to come over and help me, I can always burn down the store and run away and try again somewhere else.
I’m not convinced. You’d need a ton of brown pulp material mixed in to make all the fat compost properly.
Sometimes it’s better to just dump it and start fresh with quality materials.
I feel sick saying it, but I think this is a project you could complete with AI. It sucks ass at understanding complex problems, but it’s good at cranking out small scripts to integrate tools together.
You basically just want a wrapper around ffmpeg with a light web interface to handle upload, script execution, and download.
LLMs are pretty good at spitting out a simple web interface that runs in a barebones server like Express or nginx.
If you don’t need to worry about security or accessibility or any “not on the critical path” concerns, this could probably work after a few iterations.
As for anything already out there - I’ve never come across anything. The closest app I can think of is TDARR which is intended to automatically transcode your media library to h265. That wraps up some of the ffmpeg stuff you want, but doesn’t address the upload/download half of the workflow.
It’s important to identify the tasks you and your spouse do, and how you feel about them. Sharing the loaf works better if there are things your spouse does that you personally despise doing.
For example, I do all the shopping, cooking, working, and clean the kitchen. It’s a heavy load, but those are all things I don’t mind doing so it’s tolerable. My wife handles laundry, cleaning most of the rest of the home, meal planning, and does a higher proportion of the direct child care. She doesn’t mind those things nearly as much as she hates the tasks I do.
As one of us burns out from one task or other, we frequently check in and adjust. Sometimes I just can’t deal with the kitchen anymore and we order in takeout for a couple days. Sometimes she’s overwhelmed by chores and we tag team getting the obvious tasks done while the kid is napping.
For technology, AnyList has been a killer app. Being able to collaborate on meal planning and building shopping lists is amazingly useful.
I think the broader problem with mental labour is that men have typically been blind to many of the general maintenance tasks that women have silently done for generations, and this unspoken arrangement creates resentment. As long as you keep that in mind, it’s pretty easy to have conversations about it. Like other posters have said - make a list! Once you’ve written down all the things that have to happen to keep a household running, you can delegate them accordingly or at least make it highly visible as to who does what. It’s not necessarily wrong to have an imbalance, provided you’re both aware and honest about it.
A quarter of the country has already voted and now he’s releasing something?!
I hope this means my laziness in not early voting last weekend pays off and I get a nice quiet room when I slither over midday on election day.
I would personally refuse to go. But that’s not always feasible depending on your job and relationship with your company.
I would at minimum not bring any personal electronics. The border agent may demand your device, unlocked, so they can disappear into a back room for a few minutes before returning it to you. Assume all your credentials stored on the device will have copied and that the US Federal government now has access to your everything. You can refuse but you’ll be turned away from crossing, possibly detained, and probably barred from future entries for life.
I hate to say it, but if you’re white you’ll probably have an uneventful crossing. But there’s absolutely no guarantee of that.
Border agents also get especially cagey if you’re travelling to work. They seem to interpret the word “business” as meaning you’re going to overstay your visa and try to work illegally. I had an incredibly complicated conversation at a crossing a decade ago because the agent didn’t seem to know what a TRADE SHOW was and gave me the third degree.
I have some family that’s been travelling as tourists or with green cards and they reported zero issues with them or people travelling around them.
This was me when I was young and stupider. The Conservatives always campaigned on addressing problems and explaining why I should care about them.
It took a few years before I learned to start asking why and how. At the time, it didn’t occur to me that I had to check their work to see if their problems were even real or if they had any idea of a solution to them.
And they did not. But they were awfully good at talking about economics while running higher deficits than any other government.
