I remember seeing something years ago that it was to essentially force people to go wireless, as that was their aesthetic and what they wanted people to see when watching others using a Mac.

Any time a store asks for a phone number, I use the local area code followed by 867-5309, and 9/10 times it works

Looks for like a looney bin than a cheese grater

Speak for yourself, I’m here for the candy

Hell yeah. That’s the same reason I dump money into my homelab; I have never been in IT, nor plan on it, but maybe one day I’ll finally get back into home automation and could possibly sell something to a client as a complement to my electrical business. But it’s damn fun to tinker with!

But you’re teaching yourself a valuable skill!

That’s what I mean though, trying to watch any YT video embedded anywhere without being signed in will yield that error, but I usually don’t have that problem on YT’s direct website, even without login. Still ridiculous, but so is Google

As much as it isn’t preferred, I can usually bypass the sign in shenanigans by going directly to the website to watch something without signing in. I usually only get the login prompt when going through my browser or a search engine.

We found out a while ago that plumbing pipes aren’t the best way to ground a house for a variety of reasons, and this is why ufers (grounding to foundation steel) and ground rods are now the NEC standard. Also, this is why bonding wires are important as well. If the plumbing were bonded to a proper dwelling ground system, the current would find a direct path to ground and trip the responsible breaker, instead of using the gas lines as a big ass resistor and creating the light show we see here.

Better yet to just have a bond to the gas and water pipes. In this instance, any current introduced to the plumbing has a direct connection to ground, which will allow current to flow freely and trip the breaker.

Underestimating the bed rail loading. I’d love to make a Ford joke, but let’s be real, all truck beds would crumple like that.

Watch it for the plot

You can pay employees with cash legally, but it’s a royal PITA and OP would still be “in the system” so to speak via income taxes and the like. The not-so-legal method would be for an employer to operate a cash-heavy business in which they’d basically take cash from the till and hand it directly to the employee, not recording either the income to the business or the dispersement to the employee. The issue can be that if the business doesn’t operate with much cash on hand, they’d have to basically withdraw it from the ATM to give to OP, but (depending on how the business is structured) it would likely count as a personal dispersement to the business owner that they’d be taxed on and they wouldn’t be able to claim it as a business expense, unless they did some fuckery with their books and run the risk of getting nailed by the IRS.

Right. I’m all for find a way to tip the balance of power away from the ownership class, but willful damage only screws you. Check your rental contract, a landlord can and will sue you for negligent and purposeful damage to their property. They’ll also sing your rental history . Plus, if you’re still living there, you’re only inconveniencing yourself with the repair process.

Until your toilet stops up and floods dookie all over your stuff a week later

Ok calm down Satan, I still have to live here in the near future

You certainly have a way with words, good sir.

The Sears catalog was multipurpose

I love my 6.5, but I still really want a 30/06
