  • I think you're confusing this and Ivermectin. Hydroxychloroquine (as far as I know) is prescription only. Ivermectin is too technically but you can get the "livestock" version at a TSC or similar store. Which says a lot about the "not sheep" crowd taking medicine literally used for livestock.

  • I went down the solar rabbit hole a year or two ago, unfortunately my house is oriented in a crappy direction and coupled with a bunch of old-growth trees there was no scenario where I would even break-even in the 20 year life expectancy of the panels. Maybe some day that will change.

    Like you said though, I'm in the same boat where electric and gas are both quite cheap here.

  • A few years ago I created a spreadsheet where I can plug in electric and gas prices. It shows me which is the cheaper option to heat with. And year after year despite my heat pump being ~3x as efficient as my gas furnace the furnace has been hands-down cheaper to run. So I just leave the thermostat on Aux all winter. One day I suspect it will flip but that hasn't happened yet.

  • When you did use it in the winter did it ever struggle?

    Yeah, when it would drop below about 25-30 degrees F it couldn't keep up and the aux heat would kick in. Which at the time was VERY expensive dual 10,000 Watt electric coils in the ductwork.

    Mine is an older model though from 2007 I think. I know the newer ones are MUCH better and some can go sub-zero.

  • What do you consider cold? I have one in central Ohio. It was my primary winter heat source until I had gas installed a few years back. Now the price of gas is so cheap I don't run the heat pump in the winter. Obviously still use it for AC in the summer.

  • LMAO which is even more hilarious. Has ANY new single-player content been added since launch? I've played through the game at least a half-dozen times over the years and don't recall anything new.

  • RDR2 though released 5 years ago now (4 on PC), how did it end up on ANY kind of list for the best games of 2023?

    Don't get me wrong, it's an amazing game, I just don't understand why it would be included alongside 2023 releases.

  • lol, fucking snowflakes getting upset over the tiniest of things.

  • Any guidance on this? I looked into Synthing at one time to backup Android phones and got overwhelmed very quickly. I'd love to use it in a similar fashion to NextCloud for syncing between various computers too.

  • Ok, bye! Don't let the door hit you in the ass on your way out.

  • Yeah but if GOP voters were smart they wouldn't be voting for the GOP, so should be pretty easy to trace.

  • Of course not, they are of the mind "I got mind so fuck you." They won't be around to witness the shithole they have created.

  • You rock mate! I don't need any games at the moment and if I do I can purchase for myself so I'll leave for others. Cheers for doing this!!

  • As an Ohio native, DeWine is FAR more progressive than most of the republican party. Not that that's saying much. During Covid he actually listened to his Director of the Department of Health: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amy_Acton#COVID-19_pandemic

    In 2020, prior to and during the COVID-19 pandemic, Acton advised Governor Mike DeWine, who became the first U.S. governor to close schools and limit gatherings to no more than 100 people, despite the fact that Ohio, at the time, had only three confirmed cases. Ohio was also the first state to temporarily close down bars and restaurants, when Ohio had fewer than 40 confirmed cases.

  • I've said it for years and years, it's not what you know but who you know. That isn't 100% true but it's true more than it's false.

    It's dumb, but really to get good jobs that tends to be the normal. I'm a great example of that. 7 months ago a previous boss reached out and offered me a new position making 50% more than I was. 100% remote, no on-call, no end-users, no hardware, etc. I jumped at it.

    Would I have gotten it or even know there was an opening otherwise? Highly unlikely.

    That's at least my experience in IT, I doubt it's unique.

  • I'm trying to figure out how it matters. A question is a question. Her ducking the answer is her ducking the answer. Doesn't matter WHO asked the question.

  • Wait, you mean to tell me that a $100k piece of paper doesn't instantly make you the most desirable candidate for a position? Who could have possibly predicted that...
