Since you chose CDB, here is an interesting bit of trivia about that song in particular:

The song uses a clever play on words to promote Southern rock music. ... The "it" that the South is going to do again, it is implied, is to produce additional popular rock groups.

Daniels factually bristled at more nefarious interpretations of what the "it" was. ... Daniels told Billboard, "I'm damn proud of the South, but I sure as hell am not proud of the Ku Klux Klan. I wrote the song about the land I love and my brothers. It was not written to promote hate groups."

Maybe use the songs as an opportunity for discussion ... or save it for your kid-free time.

"I'm here to apply for the position of your Next Bad Decision. My parents always said I was a mistake, so I think that makes me well qualified."

That's literally how I got my wife.

Make sure you have a towel. I say this as a guy who dried off after showers with an old tshirt the first week after I moved because I am a great planner.

Extend that to other less glamorous essentials. Think about the mundane things you use daily that blend into the background.

To be fair, capitalism seeks the lowest market clearance price. Until price hikes start showing a lower net return, prices will go up.

Not that I care, me cap'n's hat never left the boat.

Atomic Rockets has a whole page for this

If you enable developer options and then disable animations, your phone will feel 1000% faster on any OS.

There is a Magisk module that bypasses that on Android. Look up SafetyNetFix.

Speaking only for myself, I generally try to contextualize before I write someone off as a "piece of shit"

I imagine you could take any popular song from today and find fault in 50 years as cultural norms change.

"The group also excluded vehicles with pedestrian automatic emergency braking systems," well fuck. Maybe there's a reason this is a standard feature on most new vehicles.

"the auto industry is embracing bigger, more brutish designs for its SUVs and trucks, ... and car buyers are increasingly buying into that marketing, snapping up these high-riding vehicles in record numbers." It's almost like there are no other options on the market as manufacturers chase fuel economy requirements.

You give me an update of a 90's-00's midsize truck like the Tacoma or Dakota and I'll write a check so fast the paper rips.

I used to do that with Dick pics. Dick van Dyke, Dick Nixon, Andy Dick, Philip K. Dick ...

Magisk module SafetyNetFix used to bypass that and let banking apps work

Why not have it drop as graphite. Could be compressed as diamonds or used as base stock for carbon fibers or carbon nanotubes or carbon future-space-filaments. More useful, more stable, and could be a more versatile export.

I used to be an industrial chemist. We did esterification reactions to turn chicken fat and laxatives into oil field soaps by the truckload. So I guess mid-level organic chemistry?

Fun fun or Dorf Fortress FUN?

DockSTARTer takes most of the work out of setting up and maintaining a docker -arr suite. The guys that maintain it are great too.

Is that how Grimer are born, sealed dirty underwear?

Shitstain I choose you

What do you use in place of Keep?

Still better than 90% of folks.

RimWorld got new DLC so I've put about 20 hours in since last Tuesday. Sorry kids, daddy needs vidya time.

I've clocked over 2,000 hours (per Stream) and only just realized I've never actually played to "win" via the vanilla victory conditions. Thanks mods!

What region is this? Here in the South you're just as likely to pay more by going further out.

It's out there. I managed to collect nearly everything from I think '35 onwards.

I had an '86 with a straight six that was phenomenal.12 mpg and would go anywhere. It's the only car I hate I sold.

We did some sodium salts for personal care, but the chicken fat in this instance is oleic acid, or sometimes soybean or canola oils, and the laxatives are sorbitol or PEGs. Mix and cook them and out comes a surfactant like SMO. We sent it to the midwest to help with fracking.

I've been using DockSTARTer for years and it does what I need, when I need it.

If the goal is to learn, then go for learning Docker directly.

If the goal is to do it well and quickly, don't reinvent the wheel.

Where can I find this bot?

Would that be open standards or plans? STL files for 3D printing or plans for an effective desk, just supply raw materials and effort.

Fair enough, good on you for avoiding a death hug scenario

Also eat more fiber.

Can the ISP offer dedicated IPv4 addresses? We had a similar issue with the new rural fiber provider. I spent hours tinkering and researching only to finally call support.

15 minutes and $2/mo later it's all taken care of. I have a direct IP and no maintenance nightmare that I have to sacrifice a goat to the printer gods and pray for mercy to make work*

*when it wants to

Are you sure that's not an artifact of the powerline data? I use RDP over a wireless bridge to do something similar and some days it's 10/10 perfect, others it's dogshit/10.

Three monitors here. I'm an engineer so left monitor is usually reference material (drawings, spec sheets, formulae, etc), center is usually my primary workspace (email, python, CAD, etc) and right is music, communications, and calendar for the next goddamned meeting.

Left and center are 24" 1080p, right is 15" laptop. I'm thinking of upgrading the next time the office gets tech money.

Can someone ELI5 this for me? Are used car prices finally correcting? Can I finally retire my shitbox from daily driver status?

Ford sells electric crate motors now. It's just a matter of finding a way to install a battery. I've thought about trying to electrify an old F150 for shiggles. Throwing 6" of battery/body lift under the bed seems like a not-totally stupid idea.

I had good experiences (a year ago when I last tried it)

If you had the time and skill, you could buy a new drivetrain and swap it in. I'd wager a modern engine and transmission would be easier to swap into older engine bays since they're so roomy.

I rebuilt an 86 Bronco. I could literally sit in the engine bay to do work on the motor.

But also be aware balloons can range for 100's of miles before they come down.

Access to shelter is a human right, but access to a rental property requires an agreement between the tenant and the property owner.

Where does the boogeyman capitalism figure into upholding your end of the bargain? If you're unable to work, there's an (admittedly minimal for a Western nation) safety net in place and countless charities willing to assist. You still have to contribute to society. Working isn't the only way.
