Honestly, if you’re in love with the house and you really want it, go for it, try to get them to cover as much as you can. At least you are somewhat aware of what you’re getting into, but beware these kinds of things have a tendency to balloon in costs. What starts out as 15k in estimated costs could easily end up being 25k by the time everything’s done.
If you’re not that attached to it if it’s “Just a house” to you, try to get them to cover the full cost of repairs, if they say no walk away. In the US price cuts have already started happening, houses are sitting on the market longer and longer again. On top of that, you said you’re buying for 85k + 15k for repairs that ends up being 100k and you can get a much better maintained house for 100k? I’d take that option if it were me and save myself the headache.
I’ve seriously looked into picking one of these dead languages up and honestly, it’s not worth it.
Biggest issue is, you have to be experienced to some degree before you get the name your price levels. So you’ll have to take regular ol average programmer pay (at best) for a language that’s a nightmare in 2023. Your sanity is at heavy risk.
I’d honestly rather bash my head with assembly, it’s still very much in use these days in a modern way. Most programs still get compiled into it anyway (Albeit to a far more complicated instruction set than in the past) and can still land some well paid positions for not a whole lot of experience (relatively)
I am, but I disabled the xfinitywifi right out of the box.
Although it wouldn’t surprise me if it “spontaneously” reactivated itself, but even if it did (and Crapcast can be trusted on what they say on this) it’s supposed to be isolated to the point that it gets its own assigned IP separate from what is assigned to your connection
I really haven’t had DMCA issues on my Usenet providers, but you do gotta be choosy, iirc the biggest ones you probably subbed to won’t ignore DMCA
I transitioned to using it primarily for Sonarr and Radarr for TV and Movies. Its mostly a set and forget it if you choose the right providers and indexers.
I don’t sail the Music sea because Spotify has filled all my needs for the price, same for the Gaming sea because of Game Pass.
Software, I usually just look around for freeware/open source alternatives or pay for it if it’s of quality and worth the price.
In traditional vampire lore, the inability for vampires to cast a reflection in mirrors is often attributed to the idea that they lack a soul. This concept has been widely popularized in literature, film, and other media.
Traditional film cameras use a mirror to reflect the image onto the film (in the case of SLRs), while digital SLRs use a mirror to reflect the image onto a digital sensor. If we follow the lore strictly, a vampire wouldn’t appear in these photographs.Modern smartphone cameras, as you correctly pointed out, do not use mirrors; they use digital sensors to capture images directly. If the folklore’s basis for invisibility in photos is strictly tied to the presence of mirrors, then theoretically, a vampire would appear in a smartphone photograph.
However, the interpretation of vampire lore varies. Some versions might suggest that it’s not just mirrors that prevent their appearance but any form of reflection or reproduction. In that case, even smartphone cameras might fail to capture them.
I feel like that’s a bit different, if it’s something you enjoy that’s great!
What I was more against was when people make ironing out to be some requirement of life, another chore that needs to be done just like the dishes or laundry itself.
I don’t think it really matters if your shirt is wrinkled*. I used to work a suit and tie job in a past life, while the suit part would get regularly dry cleaned, the inner button down shirt and slacks would get washed and dried with the rest of the laundry and never ironed. Nobody ever said, emailed, sticky noted a damn thing that affected my career or social work-life sooo ¯_(ツ)_/¯
*Except the following groups: Politicians, Celebrities, Rich people, Executives.
Probably, but not enough to really matter at the end of the day when the vast majority of pollution is by the hands of corporations not not the general public. If every single one of us “regular folk” lived perfectly green lives, it would barely nudge the needle. That’s just the sad reality we have to deal with.
That’s not to say you should go out and do the opposite just because it doesn’t matter, just that it’s not a slam dunk argument by any means.
And also it tends to prolong the life of your clothes.
I briefly researched this to try to come up with some studies on this. There aren’t any with Hang Dry vs Dryer, although I did find one that concluded that cold and fast washing increased longevity.
The real culprit for longevity is cheap shit vs quality, the vast majority of clothing for my family is tshirts, hoodies and jeans with a scattering of “specialized” clothing (Slacks, lingerie, delicates, dress clothing etc.)
And I can say that cheap and/or fast fashion crap are the only things I’ve ever seen that actually have a significant shortened life when going through the wash/dry cycle. And usually within weeks.
Quality jeans and cotton tshirts I’ve got have been going on 5+ years just fine. I don’t even buy clothes for replacement that often, mostly just because it looks nice and caught my eye or something. Hell, I’m wearing a hoodie rn that’s going on 10 years and it’s never known a single day on the line and it’s going strong. Maybe it’s a little more faded than when it was new, but it’s been so long I can’t even remember.
And then it’s also incredibly subjective to each person, where’s the line of what’s “unwearable” is it the second elastic starts being a little deformed or can you go a bit longer? Is it when tiny holes start showing up or is it not until it’s obviously torn and tattered?
AFAIC any piece of clothing that lasts more than 4 or 5 years is on bonus time, after that point I’ve gotten my value out of it so sacrificing upwards of 20 minutes every load to maybe get another 1 or 2 out of it is an utter waste (and even that is debatable, what studies I did find on longevity pointed to quality of manufacturing (aka stop buying the cheap shit) and washing on cold)
You misunderstood, I’m definitely pro-dishwasher and have seen both of TC’s dishwasher videos.
“You’re just being lazy” is a common argument anti-dishwashers bring up along with the (Incorrect) “It’s faster to hand wash”
However, that being said, being greener isn’t why I’m pro-dishwasher. It’s because it saves time I can use for anything else
It’s a waste of time to hang dry, it’s a 5-10x increase over just shoving them in the dryer, hitting start and going off to do whatever. It’s simply inefficient to spend time hanging clothes to dry.
