I’d hate to see a weed whose seed could survive chlorine saturation.

Was $20 enough to summon the call center stalkers? I’m trying to find the sweet spot.

Hundred bucks.
I haven’t had a Mac in 20 years but I’m guessing they have rsync.

So if it tests positive, wear a respirator while messing with it.
I get the concern, I have an illogical fear of Hantavirus and even though I’m not in a region known for it and only have rats and no mice and have only had a couple rats in the last few years, I wear a respirator when kicking up dust in the attic.

Is N8N basically a bigger, more powerful Node Red for online accounts? I haven’t looked into it.
Just buy a 24 v battery, a 24v cccv charger(boost converter if car) and a 19v buck converter assuming your server is a mini or a laptop. Tape them together and you have a UPS.
I’d use 8s lithium iron phosphate for stability when running near 100% capacity full time and maybe turn the charger down 0.1V or so.
Probably not going to get anything like that on a plane.
Edit: with an extra diode and converter you can actually bypass the constant battery havoc and just use a CV charger. Search web or ChatGPT “DIY DC UPS”

The only time I worry too much about prompting is when an output needs to be used to generate a subsequent input in the chain. That’s via API though and specifically Google’s API as openai API is prohibitively expensive.
The less the AI caches any of my beliefs or preferences or cares about tone, the better responses I get. I only use ChatGPT for technical things though, or helping me cook. If my project has constraints, I list them. otherwise, I want to be as open-minded as possible.

I got Walmart+ then cancelled it when they made the 30 minute drone deliveries almost impossible to order. Should have left them on the wing app.

A state inspection won’t find anything you don’t already know about. Also those shitbox wreck caravans continue past Texas. I think they’re going to El Paso then Mexico. They all head west out of the metroplex and go on past Odessa anyway.

re: Best toilet to purchase

Posted by Dallaswho on 4/28/25 at 11:08 pm
This one is a little pricy but it automatically cleans itself and your butt. The 25% off sale puts it within reach.
Amazon

Also, how do you “need” a toilet replaced? The only thing I’ve ever seen total a toilet was a bottle rocket.

Sure, as long as our guy’s contract is up we can replace him.
