and when the hot water heater is two floors down and the pipe from there runs up unheated parts of the building, it takes a very long time to get even a hint of warmth out of the hot water faucets.

i’ve lived 3 minutes away from hot water for nearly thirty years now. it sucks. if i ever get money enough to own a house, or choose where i live with little regard to cost, it will have instant hot water (tankless water heaters).

fuck airbnb. rents have tripled here with so many apartments and homes taken off the market and turned into untaxed and unlicensed hotel rooms.

demolished is the only answer.

it won’t be built to code. shortcuts will be taken as everybody looks to score some free cash along the way.

no one will know what ‘extra’ items were planted during its reconstruction. even more significant if the security bunkers underneath the demolished east wing are also rebuilt.

and the “DRM” of the day was typing in the third word of the second paragraph on page 6 of the printed booklet that came with the game.

every system is different. landscapes, textures, shots from tv or movies, people… only one is using ‘defaults’, the wp from the ‘sunrise’ win11 theme (was set to that for some screen caps and recording, to avoid any… uh… ‘issues’… over having copyrighted imagery in them–it was a still from one of the lego movies). my phone is anna and elsa and will always be anna and elsa. dunno why. it just is.

sidekicks in '09. had so many users here affected.

never again.

the thumbnail looks like part of a paint sample strip.

it was… is PA still around?

I don’t have any more drives to test this out

you have a drive from a budget-tier vendor. it could very easily a glitchy drive. the only way to know is to replace it with something else.

RARs might have been originally sourced from ‘elsewhere’, that place where the first rule is to not talk about it.

it pretty much depends on what their distribution agreements have in them–there could be something in there that requires monthly or longer terms for subscribers. if there isn’t, there sure af will be from now on for streaming services carrying ‘cable’ channels

it’s not happening ‘after’. ytdlp is likely downloading a higher quality file than what the browser or app is receiving for streaming.

either one meets or exceeds the requirements you posted for the game.

note that if you’re able to shop in person at microcenter, many more options are available, including their own brand of prebuilts (powerspec) and custom-builds assembled in-store.

the only grocery around me that had one took it out when they quit selling coffee that way, a few months into covid.

did you just drop the full index into the config, like the ‘how to use’ image shows in the repo’s ‘readme’? take that out, it’s all 10,000+ ‘channels’. go into the repo’s ‘streams’ directory and find one or a few for your country and add those instead (load the ‘raw’ url for each in the browser, then copy the resulting address from your browser address bar into the config).

i always have, even as a grade school kid–back then the bus rides to and from school were so long, i saw the bus driver more on school days than my family.

it’s what respondents ‘believe’. and most of them will believe that despite the actual odds being so far against them that they’ve already got their non-refundable one-way reservations for the bad place.

the upper-midwestern u.s. lost their bagged milk when kwiktrip quit selling it that way a few years back.

‘greeters’ are also part of security or ‘loss prevention’, even the old guy who can’t stand-up during his shift and needs to sit on a stool at his post.

the ‘veni’ usually comes last, tho.
