3-4 coats of primer before paint should do the trick, but you can also try hitting it with a sander first to take off some of the scorching

Ã. Brazil or Portugal?

The faucet filter looks really easy to plumb & change, do they work well?

If they were made in China and imported via Canada you would still have to pay tariffs on them, but just guessing there

Either of the two fiber options would probably be better than Comcast. Ask your neighbors, if you have any, what they have.

If you’re hosting any servers like Plex you may want to make sure the fiber companies offer a static IP if they use CGnat.

Agreed. Unless it’s the 5g Verizon home Internet, then I’d begrudgingly to with Comcast

Lol, not a fan of either but at least you get some fiber when the paper sticks to the candies

In the US dots can also refer to candy buttons as well as the gross gumdrops

Did you mean to imply fellatio?

See I suspect he had the heart attack while falling off the cliff.

Oh totally. If you’re not watching the prices of something you want and just using it as an opportunity to impulse shop you get fleeced.

I ended up getting some ssds last black Friday, but only because they were 20% cheaper than they’d been all year. Now the prices are even higher, so I don’t feel like I bought at the wrong time

Honestly, if they could just get 8tb ssds down to $200-250 I’d be happy with sata interfaces

So is that $10M per person or family or family generation? I think the part where things start to spiral is when someone has a few kids who themselves have a few kids each and then add in the spouses. Even at 2 kids per generation and only the first Gen kids have spouses and you’re up to 10 people or $100M.

Exactly! Just grip the cardboard tube and pull the middle out

I think the GPU being separately upgradable on the 16" pokes a tiny hole in your argument. But I generally agree, there’s not too much that is saved or retained when upgrading. But for some people it’s worth it, if they’re reusing the ram, SSD, Wi-Fi card in addition to the parts you mention, AND they’re not too rough on the case, screen, and keyboard/trackpad.

Depends on how much they paid in the 90s. Panels were 10-20x more expensive back then. And it’s a 1kw array so like 40mwh over its 30 year lifespan.

I didn’t downvote but wine turbines are not easily recyclable due to all the fiberglass and resin. They’re finding new uses but lots still get buried in landfills when they’re decommissioned

Yeah it looks like a transflective LCD with an (optional) almost orange internal light. Would it make a decent e-reader or note taking device, sure, but it’s not e ink.

So like 4-5c roughly if the 90-100% charge rate is similar to the 0-90%. Way lower than some of the lithium cells I’ve seen at 30+c

I know on the multiple boxes issue it’s because of differing rules on wall thickness & sturdiness from country to country. So I’m wondering if there’s a country that requires a specific plastic thickness for products. Then it would just be the manufacturer using the lowest common denominator that works worldwide, instead of having multiple SKUs or having to repackage it.
