I had to come back here specifically to thank you.

We have a "rainfall" showerhead that has been a huge disappointment since we installed it. Your comment popped into my head today as I was about to jump in the shower. All I had to do was remove a little o-ring and now it works fantastic! It also cut my shower time in half.

Cook's Venture (an Arkansas poultry processor) went bankrupt practically overnight. Then the state came in and killed all the chickens at each farm, leaving the farmers to deal with all the dead and rotting corpses.

What did our wonderful governor do? Well, as I recall, her administration refused to declare a state of emergency and pretty much told all the poultry farmers to go fuck themselves because it's "not the government's job to bail out private businesses" or some bullshit like that.

Doesn't feel so good when you're the one getting told to fuck off. I hope all the people who voted for Trump and Sarah Sanders are happy since this is exactly what they voted for.

Shit. I didn't even think about that. That's only for the first one though. After that the months just kind of blend together.

Have kids. You'll be so busy you'll forget what day of the week it is until 5 minutes before you're supposed to go pick your new car up.

...I'm kidding. Don't do that. Kids are very expensive.

You know what's funnier? I mean, it's not funny, but it also kind of is. At the same time, the Trump administration is pushing coal burning power plants. Aside from the high levels of pollution, including greenhouse gas emissions that coal plants produce, no one in the US is building new coal fired power plants. Twenty years ago, coal generated over 50% of the electric power in the US. Now it's less than 20%.

Even if they were, it takes years and a huge investment, including getting rail access to the plant, to even bring one online. Electric utilities spread their capital outlays over decades rather than years. So I would expect that convincing the industry to switch back to coal, with the understanding that they'll have to maintain new coal fired plants for the next 40 years, is going to be a nonstarter.

All tarrifing solar panels will do is push power utilities toward natural gas and exacerbate the (actually legitimate) issue of insufficient base load generation capacity that they've been whining about for years. Oh, and also kill residential solar projects.

Long way of saying this action will continue to weaken our already strained energy infrastructure. You could try to incentivise domestically produced solar panels. But this is not how you would do that.

After a quick glance at the demo, I think the UI design is better than Paperless-ngx (at least on mobile). But, it only has tags. Not correspondents and document types. It also lacks the automatic matching feature, advanced search filters, custom fields, and customizable document views that Paperless has.

And the President of the United States is a steaming pile of shit.

Does the new ISP require use of their router or just offer it as an option?

AT&T used to require using their router, which was a pile of hot garbage. I have a Mikrotik Router and managed to mostly cut the AT&T router out but I had to configure my router to use the AT&T router for authentication, at which point the Mikrotik would take over. It was complicated to configure but it worked.

There are plenty of people out there who believe gay people choose to be gay. Nevermind that straight people didn't choose to be straight and can't just will themselves into being attracted to people of the same sex.

It's such a a simple concept and yet I have to admit there was a point in my life where this had not occured to me until a friend of mine, who was gay, politely pointed it out. It made me seriously reconsider much of what I was taught about human sexuality.

Being annexed by Canada would be a good option as well.
