Beanis died for my sins

A vape designed for runners. It looks like a camelbak, but instead of water, its a vape hose.

I've been in the bidet gang for 13 years, but I do not understand the no-tp bidet people.

Not only for drying after, but I usually use tp before the bidet as well. If I don't, I'm blasting poo everywhere in my crotch area.

Regular blender? That's what I used to do before I realized how cheap an immersion blender is.

Breville Barista espresso machine.

It's pretty extravagant, but it's been very reliable for over 10 years. It's surely paid for itself many times over compared to going to a cafe.

Oxo makes good stuff. There's clearly a lot of thought that goes into their kitchen products.

I love their flipper spatula

One time a twink working at Burger King told me I looked like Heath Ledger. I'm guessing he was hitting on me, but maybe he just needed glasses.

That's a Honeywell T6. It's really easy to replace, theres a separate part that retains the wires that you can keep attached to the wall. IIRC, it's just one screw on the bottom and then it pops off.

You can find open box/used ones on eBay for less than $50. There's an installer menu on these thermostats, go into that and mark down the settings, and set the new one up the same way. You'll find a PDF of the installers manual online that can tell you how to get into the menu, or I can help you.

Any fitgirl repack of a switch game comes with a fully configured version of yuzu. You could download one of those(Google fitgirl repacks, it's the first site), and remove the system files.

These posts always make me question myself because I've basically never worn deodorant or antiperspirant.

I've had jobs where you can't be stinky(sales,office jobs, at a hospital), and nobody has ever said anything. I've lived with partners for 16 years, none have ever complained about my smell(besides times when anyone would smell, like after a long run on a hot day).

I'm guessing I just have lucky personal body chemistry, but I'm sure there will be some people telling themselves I'm just smelly and don't know it.

I use PIA because it was the cheapest on their 3.3 year plan, and it has a good node geographically close to me with port forwarding. I only use it for torrenting, so I don't care if it's a CIA Honeypot or whatever.

You usually need to grab most reality shows on the day they air because nobody seeds them after a few days. I recommend using some kind of rss feed setup, either through sonarr or with your torrent app.

Showrss.info is pretty good for beginners. It allows you to make a customized rss feed that has the shows you want in the formats you prefer. I checked and they have house hunters. This won't help with back episodes, but at least you can start accumulating the new ones

I think the only way it will work is if you connect via Bluetooth(if the echo dot can do that). Casting basically just sends a URL to the device and it fetches the audio feed itself. Since xmanager isn't on the echo, it can't block the ads.

I have the same issue when playing through my Google Home's. I tried looking for a domain to block through my router, but I couldn't find one that wouldn't also block the music.

All of the other arguments are good, but I want to add one thought I have.

One aspect of UBI that worries me is that most plans want to eliminate all current welfare policies and replace them with UBI. That makes it really easy for some future government to neuter what small benefits people currently have.

If they want to cut all welfare programs now, they have to pass tons of legislation to eliminate food banks, EBT, Social security, SSI, Section 8, HUD public housing, fuel assistance, etc. They would be putting a ton of the federal and state employees that administer these programs out of work. Most of the public has accepted that these programs are the status quo and would be against eliminating them. There are reasons these things haven't been taken completely away during previous austerity movements.

If it's just UBI, it's just one number that can be adjusted down or left to dwindle due to inflation.

It's all bandaids for the real problem, but those bandaids are currently keeping some people alive and I don't want to trade them away for some tech bro plan that can be easily fucked with when the public starts thinking UBI is the cause of inflation or higher taxes or whatever.

That's exactly what the shopkeepers privilege is, an immunity to false arrest claims when they have suspicion you've stolen something.

The two cases I found, the judges decided that refusing to show the receipt was enough to provide that suspicion

The customer sued the store civilly for false arrest after security held them.

If you called a cop they would say, "it's a civil issue" because cops don't do shit when businesses do crime to consumers.

I was at BJ's wholesale, where they always check every receipt. Usually it's just a cursory glance, but one day they had some cop wannabe checking off every item on the receipt, causing a huge backup. I pushed my cart past the line and left. The guy chased me out into the parking lot, took my plate number and told me he was calling the cops. Nothing came of it, but it embarrassed the shit out of my partner.

I went home and did a bunch of research. From what I found, there aren't a lot of cases that addressed the issue, but I found a two civil cases where people were physically detained after refusing to show their receipt. They sued for false arrest and their cases were both dismissed. I'm not a lawyer and there may be newer case law on this.

I hate the checks, but it isn't worth it to me to risk dealing with cops when I'm not getting anything from it and making someone else's job harder.

Checking receipts when you leave a store. They have cameras everywhere and they can access my receipt through their computer system. I already paid, this is my stuff, they shouldn't be able to detain me without suspicion I stole something.

I don't raise a stink with the poor person checking receipts, though, because I am not an asshole.

I remember being in 4th grade and my teacher taught us about the formation of Israel. That night I mentioned to my dad about how Israel was made by taking the land of other nations. My dad was like, "How do you think America was made? It was made by stealing other people's land".

To this day I have no idea if my dad was being based or justifying the existence of Israel. Probably the latter, knowing my father, but I'm choosing to believe it was the former.
