I have a landline, I hear a dial tone every time I pick up the phone.

We do, it's called Universal Coordinated Time. The time is now 00:37 UTC, or 16:37 Pacific Daylight Savings Time.

The ad blocker fight is getting really strange. I don't use a blocker, but this morning I couldn't read an article on google news without disabling my ad blocker which I don't have.

Community colleges often hire teachers solely based on applicable experience. For K-12, teaching without a degree may be possible depending on the demand and where you live.

Precise time came to humanity with the railroad. Until then no one cared very much about whether it was 11:35 PM or "around midnight" or "way past bedtime." Train timetables were the first thing that made minutes matter to the general public.

Mariners cared about time and preferred to be as precise as possible, but did pretty well telling local time by the stars. Finding longitude was a problem until good clocks came aling though.

You say it's priced at 85K, repairs 15K. Would you buy it if it was in perfect condition for 100K? If so, buy it. If not, walk.

I don't know what your local market is like, but in most places a seller won't entertain that much price reduction.

I was never gruntled in the first place.

What's wicked about her? Sounds like a pretty good offer, either way.

Schlage makes a keyless entry lock that isn't strictly "smart" (no wifi or Bluetooth) but is pretty well made and as secure as any common deadbolt lock. I have two and have been using them for several years with no problems. I can't remember the model but they are in the $100 price class and most major hardware outlets have them.

As others have said, I'd stay away from any kind of fully remote lock.

I like Jabra.

I'm just waiting for canned bread.

Worm food.

I'm going to be a challenge. Please be patient with me, and with each other.

It was a great try, visually stunning and true to the overall feel of the book, but it didn't have a very cohesive story. They tried to cover too much ground. It would have been better if they had just stuck to the first book.

My mother has been dead for many years, so now I can safely say that she was an awful cook. I still can barely eat vegetables.

Me too.

An Egyptian scarab.

Deleted the app, deleted my account. Haven't been back.

He doesn't just test them, he tests them exhaustively and (in shade tree fashion) scientifically.

Rheostats are two wire devices, think of them as current controlling. Potentiometers are three wire devices, typically used as voltage dividers. They are not the same.

I got a complete set of dishes, settin for six, from grocery rewards as recently as the early 2000's. It was from Safeway I think. Not long after that they did cookware, and I got a few pieces before they stopped the program.

I eventually gave away the dishes, but still have the cookware. It's pretty good stuff.

When I take my dog outside and he shuffles around looking for the perfect spot to crap, I tell him to "get with the program." He seems to understand that I'm becoming impatient.

Totally agree. For-profit platforms won't exist if they can't generate revenue, either from ads or subscriptions. If I use a commercial offering I expect to pay for it.

If you use the platform and sidestep paying, you're just foisting the expense off on paying customers.

They teased a sequel at the end of the movie.

Maybe overpopulation is a factor?
