Milk crates. I was trying to come up with some way using wood blocks to hold propane tanks in the truck bed, then I discovered the milk crates the previous owner of our house left. They work GREAT for 20 lb and 30 lb propane tanks. Easy to strap in, as well.
I don’t know why someone would want to carry a propane tank in the cab of their vehicle, unless they absolutely had to. I know I did it many time before getting a pickup, putting the tank in my car, and making the trip as short as possible.
Voyager. One of my favorites of that series. They get stuck in the gravity well of a planet where time moves much faster. The Doctor goes down for a short time and spends several years on the planet.
My office was having a problem with mice, so some maintenance people were walking around looking for sources of food that were left out, etc. I offered to bring my cat in, and they looked at me like I had three heads. I knew which one of ours I’d bring, and I would have been happy to keep her in my office during the day and take her home every night. She would have LOVED it!
Aren’t those the stars people give on Twitter or Truth? (Or whatever Truth Social uses for upvoting.)
In a lot of places, that only happened because people banded together and made it happen for their area - the existing suppliers weren’t interested, even with federal loans available. That’s where the “Electric Co-op” companies came from.
Wasn’t he on some sort of advisory committee during Trump’s first term? My memory is that they disbanded basically because it was a waste of time, for obvious reasons. Let me search…
I don’t do much mountain biking, but I have clipless pedals on my old hardtail, too. When I ride without clipless, I have to constantly remember not to push too hard and be careful, lest my foot slip off. With clipless, I clip in and no longer have to think about it.
I don’t really care what other people use. I’ll stick with clipless, you can stick with flats or whatever you use, it’s fine with me. I use electronic shifting on my road and gravel bikes, and disc brakes on the gravel bike, and I know some people hate both of those things, too. Personally I really like both, but if others still want to use cable shifters and rim brakes, that’s fine with me.
There’s a huge difference, because I occasionally ride other bikes without them. My feet slip off the pedals without the cleats. I wouldn’t ride seriously without them.
Can confirm. Last week, I got home from a ride, stopped in front of the garage, couldn’t unclip, and promptly fell over. It turned out one of the bolts fell out from the cleat during the ride, so the cleat just rotated, instead of unclipping. D’oh. Fortunately, I mostly landed in grass, though I did scrape my ankle a bit.
There’s a trope in old shows that the wife heard noises downstairs.
Elephants supposedly have great hearing. So the joke is that she’s always hearing things because her hearing is so good.
Same here. What especially irritated me was that even though I installed the .deb firefox and followed the directions to disable snap firefox, occasionally Ubuntu went ahead and reinstalled snap firefox for me.
Can confirm - I have an RV and whenever guns comes up in the online groups, it is clear that these people are absolutely CERTAIN they will be attacked. No “if”, it’s “when”.
I assume these are the same people that end up murdering someone who knocked on the door of a house they thought was a friend’s place, but were mistaken, or needed help in the middle of the night, stuff like that.
I kind of like having that layer of someone who knows what they’re doing. House purchasing and selling isn’t something we do often, so a knowledgeable person seems like a reasonable investment. Same reason you shouldn’t be your own lawyer.
I do have some qualms about how they get paid. The commission I pay my own agent doesn’t really even bother me that much, although they’re obviously incentivized to get us to buy the most expensive home we can afford. But the commission that the seller pays to the agent for the purchasers disturbs the hell out of me - it’s a pretty clear conflict of interest.
We had a “Buyers Agent” for our last purchase - this is someone that only does buying; they do not sell homes. The idea being there’s less conflict of interest because they’re not trying to sell you a home they have listed (the company he owned did not list homes at all). Great idea, but they still take the commission from the seller, so it’s not perfect. We worked with another agent from a different company for selling the old house.
Dude is about to save 60% on something!
Those are those post-birth abortions Trump was complaining about.
Absolutely agreed. Unlike reddit, there’s nothing between “private” and “everyone”. Reddit had a feature that subs could avoid the front page no matter how popular a post got, but Lemmy doesn’t have that, so every post shows up on everyone’s all.
I didn’t see anyone link to the original!
