  • Nothing stopping you from installing a "whole house" surge protector on that particular circuit. They aren't that large or expensive.

  • My understanding is that AliExpress was originally aimed at B2B (business-to-business) transactions.

    Alibaba came first and was aimed at B2B. Aliexpress was their B2C spinoff.

  • I watched my dad set a forest on fire like that once. We got it out, but it was pretty intense.

  • Good. Because they aren't presenting it as such.

    Drop-off vote abnormalities across multiple swing states indicate potential manipulation at the county level, and a consistent underperformance by Candidate Harris across five separate states warrants further investigation.

    (Emphasis mine)

  • Federal law prohibits taking stones from national lakeshores. And the US/Canada have a treaty about molesting the great lakes, altho I don't know the specifics.

    But, Michigan says you can take up to 25lbs per year. So, who knows ¯(ツ)

  • You're probably in violation of multiple laws and treaties right now.

  • They were about the only hobbyist level drone manufacturer that was doing any sort of geofencing at all. Unsurprising they stopped when none of the other companies saw repercussions for not doing it.

  • Maybe I'm just weird (probably), but the cost of something has absolutely nothing to do with my choice of a tip. If item + what I feel is an acceptable tip = more than I want to spend, I simply don't purchase that thing, not tip less.

  • Yup. Gateway E-475M. It has trouble transcoding some plex streams, but it keeps chugging along. $5 well spent.

  • Yeah, I'm old too. Setting letters in the mailbox with some change on top for postage wasn't uncommon.

  • Because they've already moved to Newsmax?

  • It also looks like it has been upfitted for wheelchair access. They may not be able to get the top.

    Still would not make me any less mad if I was sharing the road with them. But I might feel a little bad after giving them the what for.

  • I see, I misread. It is a shame it's so hard to find non-chinese power tools. Even "All American" brands like Snap-on, Matco, Mac Tools, all just sell over priced chinese drills with a warranty.

  • That's how most manufacturing works. But just because 2 different brands roll out of the same factory, doesn't mean they are the same thing with different labels. Brands like Milwaukee and Makita are going to have completely different specs and manufacturing price points than someone like Ryobi or Harbor Freight's house brands.

  • I'm also training the kittens to be parrot cats sitting on my shoulder. We'll see how much I regret that when they're fully grown...

    I've got a ~20lb Turkish Van that I trained to ride/sit on shoulders when he was a kitten. He wrecks my shirts now (and the skin underneath).
