Same deal here. I went to a college party with an acquaintance and he did a line for the first time while we were there. He made SUCH a fool of himself the whole night. I've been deterred ever since. I never want to lose complete control like that ever.

I did automation work for a sewage treatment center that did regular water testing as part of treatment. Most of these kinds of jobs are automated for the most part. There's always a human operator present to supervise and to do some small function that is still cheaper to have done manually instead of by machine.

Woah, this hasn't been on my radar at all. Thanks for being generous and sharing!

If you're still giving out invites, I'd like one as well!

TGIF indeed! This week has been a busy one. I plan on celebrating Mother's Day with family and volunteering for Stamp Out Hunger 😄 What about you?

Debian user here. This is scary accurate.

Last month, the power adapter to my router died out of nowhere. I wasted a ton of time troubleshooting literally everything else other than the power adapter because I've never had one die before the actual device itself.

Of course none of the other adapters I had on hand fit. I had to order a new one...

You ain't lying. Most of the bartenders at my favorite bottle shop / brewery are teachers doing a side hustle. They need the money.

Want your teachers to stop doing OF and more on the side? Pay them better.

Considering that this picture wasn't taken in the USA, I'd say that's a success on the Americans' part to anticipate stupidity.

It's up to the other branches (typically the executive branch) to enforce Supreme Court rulings. Back in the day, when states were way more independent, that'd probably mean mobilizing the National Guard. Nowadays, all the Federal gov has to do is withhold federal subsidies and any state (especially Alabama) will cave quickly.

Hi all. Anybody have any tips or tricks on making a bathroom sink drain faster without going through the process of taking it apart, cleaning it, and putting it back together?

Normally when my bathroom sink starts to drain slowly, I remove the P-trap and push all the gunk through the bottom into a bucket using a metal rod. Now that I might be responsible for cleaning out several bathroom sinks, I'm starting to dread this process far more.

Drano works OK and makes the sinks drain a bit faster, but it usually gets bad pretty quickly again. Any tools I should be investing in for minor stoppages like this?

Hey all.

Over the past year, I've had bad luck with standard, non-motorized cordless blinds. I've had to replace 4 due to the tension mechanism failing (from what I can tell).

  • I've tried gently exercising the tension mechanism as suggested frequently online. This does not work.
  • I've checked for knots and have found none (I typically expect these for corded blinds).

I've been purchasing the Home Depot brand. Do I need to go for a more expensive brand? Did I just get a bad lot? Should I go for corded for supposedly easier troubleshooting?

Thanks in advance!

I also work for Big Corp and you hit the nail on the head. I saw big career growth this past year after I started working on a very visible project vs. when I was working on the small, technical stuff.

Now that I think about it, it was the same way at Midsize Corp too...

Imagine at 00:59 minutes elapsed, your boss enters and informs you that it's actually an upstream data issue and that no changes are required.
