Musk is trying to start another financial institution under the X brand to handle everyone’s money. The CFPB is the one agency that’s likely to prevent it from screwing over anyone dealing with it.

As has been said before, the only reason to shut down the bureau responsible for preventing scams is if you want to scam people yourself.

If you need to clean your stove around/under the burners, the top part of your stove probably lifts up for that exact purpose.

They can tell from the bones where the muscles attached, and what movements they made. They could piece together an animal’s walking gait just from that.

Looking only at a dead person’s bones, one could deduce what sports they practiced, for example.

There was steel rationing for the war effort during WWII, so they stopped using steel to make pipes. Then it wasn’t until the 70’s that they decided to ban the use of lead pipes in new construction, but never forced anyone to remove their existing pipes.

At my previous apartment, I had a city employee test my water. They let faucet run for about 10 minutes, then took a sample and got basically immediate results and told me the pipes were leaded. If that’s all it takes to test positive, then the protection can’t be that effective. The tech was in my apartment for less than 15 minutes, and 10 minutes of that was just letting the faucet run.

They tell us that there is no safe amount of lead, and they can detect the presence instantly. That tells me there’s not much protection. Even if it takes 10 minutes to get past that protective layer, after taking a shower your water wouldn’t be safe anymore until there’s another buildup.

Most of the buildings built here since WWII and into the 70’s have lead pipes. There’s a push to test water quality in homes, and to have the pipes replaced, but in the meantime I use a Brita pitcher with a lead filter.

I was petsitting for friends on vacation who had just adopted kittens. I went to the bathroom to pee, and while I was peeing one kitten jumped onto the rim of the toilet bowl and slipped and fell in. It took a second or so to stop the stream and get kitty out of there, and then I had to gently wash him in the bathtub.

I was cracking up so hard, but felt so bad for the kitten.

She’s almost 59 years old, and looks damn good for her age.

Barns usually have a mezzanine or a second floor for storage. At least the ones I’ve seen have never been tall but empty.

I use the web client because I don’t like having a separate app for every single thing I do on my phone.

That’s not how it works. If you’re making a donation through them, it’s going to be listed on your receipt. You can use that receipt to declare the donation on your taxes.

They don’t get to count it as revenue or use it to offset anything. If you’re making a donation through them, it’s going to be listed on your receipt and YOU get to claim it on your taxes.

The basic tool is protonup-qt, which will lets you choose which versions of Proton and Proton-GE (and others) you want to install.

I don’t know if Heroic lets you install new versions or just lets you choose among installed ones.

I’s recommend SLIFT’s album UMMON. It’s an interesting mix of psychedelic-prog rock/metal.

Their other albums are also pretty solid, but Ummon is their best IMO.

That’s true, but if the car is cheap plastic, then it might be fine.

Until it leaks out of their pocket inside the warm car and drips onto the seat rails, or something similar.

A gallium coin

This could be quite harmful though. Gallium reacts with metals like aluminum and steel in strange and destructive ways.

127 hours, or at least that’s what the movie led me to believe.

He was also incredibly lucky to get rained on in the desert.

Then you hope she’s there to rescue you.

What is your goal for 3D printing? Are you looking to print random knick knacks, functional prints, or just experiment?

Printers vary a lot in what they can do and their user-friendliness. You can go from simpler, almost plug and play models to more complex ones that require much more tinkering. They also vary a lot in price from a few hundred to thousands of dollars.

Not only that, they’re all berries.
