Do the bots do anything in particular that is annoying, or it is the large number of posts?

Thank you. That is reassuring.

Thank you for highlighting the separating of roles between the “admins” and the “mods”. As a “user” that get blurry.

I agree with you. The implications are staggering.

The kernel change in WinXP really helped stability. It was certainly easy to have a bad install with any of them though.

Win98 SE was my personal “best experience” with Windows, with WinXP a close second. (Though this likely has to do with the hardware and tasks I was experiencing at the time.)

I was not either. But a few of us survived. Better to be old with some cash, then old with none.

As mortgage rates are often above 7%, then also be cautious. One should not delay retirement savings for a 30 year mortgage payoff.

Remember how much people HATED Win95? They still moved to it to escape DOS, but still. Loads of hate.

Ah, but I bet those monkeys produce more text than Shakespeare! At least within the last 6 months!

Seems a better prompt could solve that.

One’s dishwasher is not exposed to a harsh environment. A large percentage of code is exposed to an openly hostile environment.

If a dishwasher breaks, it can destroy a floor, a room, maybe the rooms below. If code breaks it can lead to the computer, then network, being compromised. Followed by escalating attacks that can bankrupt a business and lead to financial ruin. (This is possibly extreme, but cyber attacks have destroyed businesses. The downside risks of terrible code can be huge.)

The roofs were hot. I expect ground level in the shade of the house would be better for efficiency.

Perhaps it had something to do with the location of the indoor unit? I am used to them in the basement or first floor, but some places put them in the ceiling.

Thank you!

I was thinking “gurgle gurgle” as filled with liquid… I don’t know what distinct sound the Vaults in Fallout make.

What was the timing of the US Senate vote to not release the Epstein Files?

That is the nice thing about the American Way. Just call up the neighboring states’ militias and ask who didn’t show up for drills and if any weapons are missing.

We know.

There are a number of people that have a home in the country with their family, and they travel to the city to work. Sometimes they are homeless during the work, or rent a small room.

No, it is not the ideal solution, but it is a solution. Fixing the housing situation is beyond most people’s power, and it will take a long time for those trying to fix it to actually fix it.

Given cuts to medicaid and vaccine approvals being rolled back, one had best hurry.

tanks?
varoom vroom! or gurgle gurlge?

I know a city in California with the heat exchangers on the roof. Do you have any idea why? (The properties were large enough the footprint wouldn’t be an issue.)

Where I am in the USA Midwest the heat exchangers are all on the ground as they are easier to install and maintain.
