I’m with you. If there weren’t health and social complications, I’d be wishing for full-blown alopecia.

I’m super lazy. I started losing my hair at age 14 and it was pretty much all over by 30. I didn’t give in and start shaving the fringes until 40-something

My solution to the problem was to preemptively lose all my hair in my thirties but yours probably works too.

I love electric cars. I drive one. Still, this idea that gas/diesel fires are more common needs to be put into perspective.

Yes, per mile driven, ICE cars catch fire more frequently. That much is true. BUT putting out a fire in an ICE car is almost trivial. I’ve extinguished two of them with just a handheld fire extinguisher.

The same absolutely can’t be said of EV fires. They burn much hotter and a many, many times more difficult to extinguish. Even when you think the fire is out, the energy in the battery cells can restart the thermal runaway and reignite the battery. That means you will almost always need a multi-truck response from the fire department and at least one truck will have to sit with the vehicle for hours after the fire is controlled. You can’t even tow or flatbed the thing until you’re reasonably sure it’s out. Even with all that, there have been a few cases of EV fires restarting in junkyards/impound lots.

TL;DR: EV fires are not comparable to ICE fires. They are much worse.

You can’t fool me… that’s clearly not a 16th century CE cat.

You can debloat an NVIDIA shield android tv box, replace the default launcher, then install whatever else you want. It’s probably not perfect but it’s pretty darn good. That’s what I use and it can be updated without losing any of my customization.

I asked people to take handover for a full month before I left and nobody cared. On my last day they kept asking if they could call me with questions. I said only if they had their credit cards ready because I wasn’t going to work for free.

I watched the first moon landing on a black & white TV while wearing footie pajamas.

He’ll have financial control but not operational. It looks like his son will be ceo and president, so I guess maybe it’s a nepobaby purchase?

I’m enjoying it a lot so far. I haven’t missed working at all.

I retired about a year ago, so the left-most book on the middle row is about me.

It depends a LOT on where you are. In the USA, Canada, and (I think) Mexico, such a thing is not possible, at least in any way that the services you mentioned will care.

It might be possible in places where phone numbers don’t have a fixed length, like (again, I think) Germany.

I haven’t had it but my mom did. She experienced or remembered none of the actual cpr but the recovery from bruising and broken ribs was so painful that she signed a do not resuscitate order saying she would rather die than have cpr again.

I’ve never tried it on a tcl tv but it was very easy on nvidia shield. You have to install an alternate launcher (super important to do this first) then use the android debugger from your desktop or laptop to disable the built in leanback launcher. After that, the first time you press the home button it will ask you to pick a new default launcher.

You can google for instructions on getting the debugger installed and running, and how to disable the launcher. Note that a lot of people say to uninstall it but I prefer to just disable.

Malt-O-Meal - Good stuff Maynard

The story is good, the gameplay very good, and the visuals absolutely stunningly wonderful. I recommend it without reservations

When it comes to refried beans, “too many” or “too much” are both incorrect. The correct construction is “may I have some more please?”

Cbat?

As if I needed another reason to hate candles.
