I've woken up at 5 or 6 am every day for about 12 years at this point.

Factory life I guess. Weekends included

Honestly I have the best and healthiest sleep schedule of anyone I know

There was a new fridge when I bought my house. Basic ass nothing fancy Frigidaire. No ice machine. I love it.

When I redo my kitchen this year, I'm buying a countertop ice making machine. I've heard too many horror stories about the ones in fridges.

Right now I'm still truckin with the ice trays. Not enough room in the kitchen currently

Probably busbar running at 6 to 10,000 amps. DC power.

Factorio, hands down

600 hours and counting. The space age expansion basically quadrupled the content, and is the first time I've played the game 100% vanilla with no mods in probably 10 years. Great times.

Lmao what?

For my car for instance, I like to talk to the person about things going on with it, I just got quotes for tires for instance.

I've literally never ordered food online, other than a few random restaurants that are online order only. They took down my email and made me make an account, fuck that for getting some dinner. I'm not subjecting anyone to anything, taking calls is their job. They just write down the order on a ticket and make food ???

Also there are quite a bit of restaurants in my area that do not have websites. Think like pizza shops, bars, a ton of non-english speaking places. Also not everyone can use a website or app. Older people in particular.

When I have people work on my home for something I can't do myself, they often prefer the calls and I do as well because I need to iron things out and get opinions and chat.

When it comes to work, I'll literally send an email and get a call back sometimes. It just works better for my field.

You're the one being weird about something people have been doing for the past century.

What history are you talking about? All of 1920s to present day calls are common ways of communicating with people. I take calls frequently at work between coworkers.

I have never even heard of emailing to set up something like a haircut or car appointment. I've always called for something like that. Or I'll call to pickup food I assume that's what most people do?

You're legit paranoid if you think only taking calls is "hiding something".

Refusing to take calls for a preference reason is some childish shit. Just grow up and talk on the phone

When you say "didn't do a full re-wire" do you mean he left all wiring as is inside the walls and swapped 2-prong ungrounded outlets to 3-prong (which would be a bootleg ground and is illegal)

Or do you mean he ran new wire to some of the outlets and left what he couldn't get to as 2-prong?

I'm an electrician fwiw.

This may be anecdotal but I visited Christchurch NZ last year and walked around the whole city. I don't believe I saw a single person begging / sleeping on the street.

Compared to my small rust belt city in the US where there's homeless at every busy intersection begging and pop-up tent settlements that will frequently be destroyed by cops. Bigger cities and/or the West Coast ones like Portland have way more of this type of thing.

Yeah qbittorrent really locks this down and makes it fool-proof quite easily.

I noticed that none of my anime torrents were downloading last week. I was like hmm did my VPN get IP banned? Then I tried a private tracker. Last ditch effort was the Arch Linux iso.

I forgot to pay my VPN for the year. As soon as I did, restarted the container, boom back to business as usual

Egg noodles butter and worcestershire sauce

I've dabbled with slsk.

Is there any option to run it in docker on something like a NAS?

What?

No like there was a lead pipe from the early 1900s from the street up through the woods to my house.

The city and utility company replaced it with a copper one at no cost. It's a big initiative in our city right now to replace all the old lead water lines by 2027
