I think there are a few towns along the border with GA that don't observe DST. They keep the clock the same year round, and when it is standard time they operate on Eastern time zone, and when DST happens they operate on Central.

Do you have a USB keyboard and mouse?

It's theoretically possible with those.

Hadn't thought about that, but may give it a try just for fun. I ended up getting Amazon to just send a whole replacement TV and will ship this one back. Customer service said they were shipping a remote and power cord, but who knows when that might show up. So I did a return and replacement, and that shipped yesterday and should be here today.

Burning is fun and faster than treating them but obviously slower than a grinder. I had a couple of smaller trees that I cut down over the summer and me and my two boys started fires on them maybe 2-3 different times and slowly burned them away. Drilled a few holes with a speedbit, poured some gas over and let it soak in overnight, then lit them up the next morning. Feed it a few logs and try to keep active flames going for a few hours rather than letting it smolder. Bonus, I convinced them both that they could toss pine cones on the fire as long as they were the ones that picked them up out of the yard.

They're all bad at times. I shipped two boxes out west ahead of a trip we had planned out there back at the beginning of the summer. Tracking was identical on both, up until it hit Seattle. Smaller box was delivered, and the larger one said out for delivery on a Monday. It never arrived, so Tuesday morning I checked the tracking and it said it was back in Nashville. There's no way. I forget the dates, but it was BHM, Nashville, Chicago, Seattle, Nashville, Denver, Seattle again, and finally was delivered about 4 days after we got back. So we missed out on something we needed for the trip but made it work. Either it was never in Seattle to begin with and tracking was off, or somehow this 4 foot long box weighing about 100 lbs was loaded on a plane back to Nashville.

Shark cordless is what we use. I still have a corded one as well, but rarely use it unless I forgot to charge the cordless one. Mostly hardwoods, and a few short rugs. The only carpet is out off the deck in my home office, but that's a 12x14 room and takes about two minutes to knock out. I can do the whole downstairs, the stairs themselves, and the two bedrooms upstairs on one full charge and have some left over. On the stairs is there the cordless really shines, and in small rooms like bathrooms. I hated using the corded one and having to stop and unplug it and plug it back in.

I’m on episode 8 of Season 1. With the electricity being there, and the random animals that they can use, it almost feels like the creatures built the humans a habitat that they can use until they are hunted- sort of like a fox that’s fenced in until they run the dogs trying to catch it. IDK

I think we watched 8 and 9 last night. Starting to build the radio tower, and a couple episodes back they realized none of the plugs or insulation actually have metal wiring. Forgot to mention that in my previous post. Weird that they have electricity but no actual wiring seems to be carrying it.

Because that feeling lasts for about 2 days. Then it's itch free forever.

Had to tell another dad that fact last month on a camp out. He said every time he quits shaving, the itching drives him crazy after about a week. Once you get past that, you're good. Just wash your face and scrub the beard in the shower every day and get all the dead skin off. No real need for all the oils and beard butter stuff unless you just like it.

I’ve been doing no shave 2026

I started in 2015. My youngest has never seen me shaved and he was born in 2018. His older brother probably doesn't remember since he was 2 the last time I shaved.

At one of my previous jobs they went all out on Halloween. One of the two owners was big into it and they did contests for best costume, scariest costume, funniest etc.

I got two of the girls I worked with to dress up as Playboy Bunnies and I dressed up as Hefner. Ordered a velvet looking smoking jacket, had a pipe, and sprayed my hair to make it white. Then I printed off a Viagra logo and taped it to a big white medicine bottle. They had pink bunny ears and the cottontail.

If they have a parking lot for their hotel, then let me park the damn thing myself. If you want to force me to use your valet as the only parking option, i'm not tipping anyone. They should be giving me money for the inconvenience they are causing me.

Same thing with some nicer restaurants. There are a couple next door to each other in a shopping center here, and a massive parking lot. Except 75% of it is coned or roped off for valet parking. At least they have the courtesy to leave the ones closest to the door for self parking, but its like two short rows that can park 15-20 cars in each so unless you get lucky and catch someone leaving as you get there you end up using the valet.
