I didn't mean we can't impact their economy. I meant the US economic success is not tied to theirs. If our economy collapses, theirs will actually improve, not get worse.

The person I was replying to implied that our coming recession would also be bad for Russia. I think it's the opposite.

I disagree. There's Microsoft Office, and there's everything else. Google is in that second bucket.

That's a lot of words to say "I don't understand two party systems"

So what you're saying is that I'm doing better than he is because I'm living in the back of a Walmart.

No, I mean why would US economics affect Russia, a country that's famously not tied to our financial system?

The topic is measles. Would you like to comment on that?

It makes me think they're bots, honestly.

It makes me want to write a bot that explains FPTP and damage reduction over and over, since that seems to be how I spend my time..

"UnDeR tHe DeMocRatS"

Oh yes, the Democrats. FAMOUSLY in charge of Texas. CURRENTLY in charge of the FDA and government.

How about we stay on topic.

MMR would still be required in schools if the Dems won. It's one of the very few things they bother to do (though poorly). This kid could possibly still be alive.

Four digit years are required, as are dashes. 2012-03-01

Do you even ISO, bro?

Our town's water keeps failing to meet DEP standards, so I'm investing in a filtration system for our drinking water. What I think I'm looking for is:

  • Has a tank, since there are 5 of us
  • Filters out lead, PFAS, PFOA, etc. (Which is why I'm leaning towards RO)
  • Good warranty and customer service, for when something inevitably goes wrong
  • Remineralization (picky about water taste)
  • UV (maybe?)

Does anyone have recommendations for a quality brand, or one that they've had for years that they like? I'm not sure where to even start.

I bought a house a few months ago and I'm still trying to figure out all the wiring. I found these coming out of a cabinet in the kitchen.

I think (?) the black one is a cut-off coax cable. There's a LOT of coax in this house, so that seems straightforward (but I would still love if someone can confirm!)

I'm not sure about the other ones. They don't look electric, as I'd expect electric to be black + white + copper, like the rest of the house.

There is supposedly a speaker system in the house (I see speakers) but I haven't figured it out yet. Could that be power for the speakers? I'm not familiar with speaker wire setup. If it's speakers, why would there be so many wires?

 

I'm looking for an inexpensive label maker that can print small labels. I need to label various things around my house for my sanity (outlet/breaker mapping, coax endpoint mapping, etc).

I was going to buy a NIIMBOT D110, but then I saw in their FAQ that they put an IC (chip) into their labels and the printer won't print if it can't sense it. I really don't want to support a company that DRMs their consumables, if I can help it.

Can anyone recommend a good, small, inexpensive label maker? Preferably one that doesn't have sketchy DRM embedded.

 

I've got about 1/4 acre with some odd shapes and walkways. I'm looking to invest in a robotic mower, but the boundary wire ones don't seem to work with my layout. It doesn't need to have clean mow lines or anything, I just want my grass to be shorter.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a non-wired robot mower? Preferably one that integrates with HA, but that's not required.

If you do, what are the pros/cons of the unit?

 

I was reading about how the EU is thinking of reducing the lead used in ammunition because it's polluting the environment. I wonder if regular lead exposure at the firing range is addling people's brains.

Exercise is hitting. My brain gives up way before my body does. Even when I try and listen to music or watch shows while exercising, I just can't keep at it.

Has anyone found an ADHD friendly way to exercise?

 

A fine specimen indeed
