So far never, for 11 years.

They just wear down by themselves from walking I guess. Is this not normal? I’m really surprised to not see this as the top answer.

Most of my division has switched to macs over the past few years. I've always been a mac guy but having my IT department offer the switch a few years ago was a surprise, and seeing my coworkers actually choose it has been kind of a shock.

Cut off for sharing, or cut off for running illegal/unsafe/unlicensed wiring and plumbing connections?

Go to the bathroom and eat a snack.

I spent a vacation once with no internet and no lights. Worked myself hard all day snorkeling and went to bed at dark.

Every night, woke up in the middle of the night for a peaceful amble to the jakes and wandered around for a bit enjoying myself before going back to bed.

It felt very natural.

I pulled in late and tired to a random motel 6 in Illinois. Went in to the office with my wife and three small children, talked to the attendant through thick bulletproof glass to get a room. Attendant was very weirdly hesitant.

Went to the room, found the floor was linoleum tiles that were all peeling up at the edges, doors, doorframes, beds all in bad condition, some seriously weird and disturbing smell we didn’t recognize.

Came back down to the office and asked for our money back, which is the single solitary time I’ve ever done that at a hotel. The attendant seemed relieved and was very happy to return the money.

Our kids were really little but they’ve always remembered that and they call it the “nope-tel”

How is anybody scoring a classic Celica in good condition for $1500?

Do your guys benefit from all that team building? Or do they just get the same minimum wage no matter what while all the benefits of team efficiency go to the owner?

Yes, like the Wii and the Wii U!

One of the things that absolutely sucks donkey balls about being a new parent is that half your friends just totally ghost you and done want to deal with the complications of your kids, which it sounds like your friend is dealing with.

Definitely hanging out in a coffee shop with a bored toddler is not a recipe for a good time, which I guess your friend has not discovered hard enough yet. The other person suggesting hanging out at a park instead is on to something. Or just anywhere else where the kid has something to do besides sit down and shut up, which generally they won’t.

Babbel is working ok for me for learning French.

Just lessons without all the hearts and ads and crap

Not sure how to add multiple pictures to a Lemmy post. I have close-ups of the alternator housing and I think maybe the throttle body, melted 80% into the asphalt.

Contrary to my own misleading title, this picture was taken in Death Valley National Park up on top of a mountain where the air is crisp and cool.

 

I think I'm about to buy a Velotric T1 ST Plus which would be my first ebike.

The manual says to store it indoors at a temperature of 50°F to 77°F (10°C to 25°C). However the location I actually have to store it in is in an uninsulated shed that will probably reach 120ºF (50ºC) in the summer in baking sun, and below freezing in the winter.

Is this going to kill the bike or its battery?

 

I have a U.S. Sailing basic keelboat cert and a couple hundred hours’ experience day sailing 22’ Capri and dinghies in protected water.

With that level of experience, who will rent me a boat to noodle around in San Diego bay?

 

I have an off-grid setup with a few devices on a local network that is not connected to the internet. I can tell my iPhone to use the non-internet wireless LAN to talk to those devices, OR I can tell it to use cellular data to talk to the Internet, but there’s no config on the iPhone side to let them be both live at the same time.

Is there any magic config on a wireless router e.g. certain DHCP settings or just disable DHCP, that will let the iPhone route to static 10.x IPs on the WLAN while the cellular internet is still active?

Any “advanced network settings” on the iPhone to manage multiple NICs?

I find after this election that I have an unexpectedly pressing need to wave large obnoxious flags from my sensible fuel-efficient subcompact while I drive.

Has anybody got models, templates, suggestions for how to mount a stout pole to a hatchback? I’m thinking of some kind of tube on a short arm that I could close the rear passenger door or the cargo door on to hold it in place.

 

I have some little black ants in my motorhome. I’m pretty sure I picked them up at my last stop in upstate New York but I’ve since driven far away from there. Wikipedia says little black ants nest in the soil so presumably I didn’t take their queen with me.

What’s going to happen to this group that hitched a ride? Are they likely to elect a new queen and go looking for a good nesting spot, or curl up and die, or what?
