Underpromise and overdeliver.

I was a Webmaster 15 years ago. I learned very quickly not to say how long anything takes.

Qoute 3~5 times the wrench time. Then report when you like.

Might be so. He said it in the first person so it could've been BS.

My ex brother in law is a commercial refrigeration tech. He did a emergency call to a restaurant that was losing temp on thier walk in freezer. Loaded with food that needed to be kept under freezing. Time was of the essence or all the food would be tossed due to health codes.

He came out diagnoses it. Qoutes a few grand to fix it. Approved. Then he fixes it in like 15min. Just tightened a single screw.

The owner was pissed he paid a few grand for 15min and a single screw tweak.

Tech looked at him and said he paid for it to be fixed. The fact that the fix was a single screw and which screw needed tweaking was specialized knowledge. He paid for the knowledge not the time.

I took that lesson to heart working in IT or really any field. Even when hiring people to do stuff for me. Sometimes it's not just the labor it's also the knowledge.

Strongly agree. As an actor Will Smith always brings some sass to movies. I feel like he would've ruined a few scenes. Especially him teasing Agent Smith unnecessarily.

Modding Skyrim is one of my favorite games.

Load game. Load mods. Break game. Repeat until pretty. Finish 10 hours later. Play for 2 hours and drop game.

Security? How much? No. Skip it.

I read a comment on how farmers castrate sheep with thier own teeth. Supposed to be the safest way. Use both hands to hold the legs so you don't get your face bashed.

....

Surgical castration

The testicles may be surgically removed. With this method, a sharp knife or scalpel is used to remove the bottom one-third of the scrotal sac. The testicles are removed and the wound is allowed to drain and heal naturally. Sometimes, people use their teeth to remove the tiny testicles. It is essential that proper aseptic technique be used when the surgical method of castration is used.

yeah it's a thing...

You know that's valid. I'd love orange gloves but it's only blue or black at my local hardware store.

In my opinion only mechanics or "dirty" jobs should be using black latex gloves.

If you mess with anything organic they should be white or blue.

Everyone is talking about getting a fairphone and whatnot but I'm concerned about the open source apk communities shutting down since the market share and interest is killed by this.

Workstation uptime?

Home server uptime?

How did you get there? Config? (Optional)

The horse chips post reminded me of this gem.

The article itself is from August, but after seeing Flock cameras at a local Lowe's store that were missing from the DeFlock map, I thought it'd be worth bringing increased attention to such companies contributing to the propagation of Flock cameras. If there's a Home Depot or Lowe's near you that's not on the DeFlock map already, it might just not have been added yet.

Starting to watch local markets.

This one feels like a scam or stolen at $175 even if all the batteries are shot.

I needed two similar pieces of wood to prevent my sofa from banging against the wall and damaging it.

Cut the pieces and it was ugly and misshapen. Have a hand pane so I shaved off the jagged bits.

Miter boxes don't help when you can't keep a saw steady.

Just bought my first home and still unpacking.

The list of things to fix is ever growing. The bathroom vanity latch is the first one the list!

We're hoping to renovate but in the meantime one door won't open (latch) and two mirrors shake when you open them.

Latch is an easy fix. Got parts locally. Replaced the broken one. Wife loves the loud strong click. Wants them all upgraded. Good thing I bought upgrades too. So they're all new now. Shame they're not tan but the click is good.

Tap for action shots

The mirrors are peeling off the wood. Uninstalled, glued and reinstalled.

Glued them up, put weight on it overnight to cure. Cardboard under the mirrors to protect them. Wood to direct pressure and tools to weigh it down.

 

I found a squeaky door so I got the oil and fixed it... Then did every door I could before my wife caught me.

Am I alone here? It's so satisfying to just glide open!

Damn straight I am. It's the little things you have to enjoy!
