Dell was my first thought as well

I think the point you might be missing from the OP, is that the person in question doesn’t actually possess this knowledge or skill, but instead of being humble and admitting the gaps in their knowledge, perhaps asking a question or two when they don’t understand, they just plow ahead.

I know people like this. It’s not malicious I don’t think, maybe it’s more of a defense mechanism? They don’t want to look uninformed, so they try to fill the gaps in their knowledge with assumptions. Maybe they’re right a decent amount of the time, or close enough to fool people who aren’t knowledgeable on the subject. But people who are knowledgeable, will recognize what they’re doing, and the lack of humility comes across as arrogance, even though that may not strictly be the case.

It’s normal to know a lot of stuff and like a wide variety of things. But you need to be humble when you don’t know something.

When I don’t know something for sure, I like to say “I think it’s this way, but I could be wrong.” Or something like that. Or heck, if someone else has the knowledge and skills I don’t, I’m right up there asking questions, I want to learn. Maybe I’ll try to impress them with what little I do know on the subject by commenting or asking questions in a way that shows I understand what they’re talking about, because we all want to have self worth. But faking it isn’t cool, and can be harmful, or just annoying.

Never thought of that haha, sounds rough, but I like it

Just to add to this, you can do poor mans multi color by just telling the printer to pause at the exact later required, then change the filament by hand, and hit resume. It’s tedious, but it works, if you need it in a pinch 🤷‍♂️

The vivohome with knob, not remote.

Pressure is great, too much actually, depending.

I got it because it was the cheapest one with all the features, and in fact is even cheaper now than when I bought it.

It’s been going strong for 3 and a half years now

Bidet crew checking in.

Mines got hot water. I don’t mean that it’s got a pipe for hot water, and you have to wait forever for it to warm up. I mean it’s got a water heater built in. And a heated seat. And a hot air blower… dryer? Butt hair dryer? It’s nice, especially in the winter.

Clean your butts, people

Mother in law fed me pink turkey.

She used an insta pot, loaded to the brim with turkey legs, but she set it on air fryer mode by accident. Mine was on top, so it looked fine, and she didn’t notice the lower ones were raw until I’d already started eating.

Fun night. Didn’t get sick 🤷‍♂️

Thanks for the tips and encouragement, I’m gonna give it a shot!

I don’t disagree, but it’s not the issue being discussed? 🤷‍♂️

That’s a fair point, it’s also not the issue at hand 🤷‍♂️

I’d rather not disclose my age on this account, but, let’s just say we’re not newly married.

I will admit my statement about location sharing only being a problem if you’ve already got problems was a bit too binary. The issue is more nuanced.

I see you’re focusing on the cheating aspect, which to your credit is what the OP is all about. But from our perspective, that’s not even an issue or a use case for the technology. We have full trust in each other. The technology is simply useful for other reasons.

Did she make it to work in the snowstorm or rainstorm?

Huh she’s usually home by now, is she unconscious in a ditch or just stopped at the store?

Dinner is almost ready, I just need to put this in the oven so it’s ready to come out the second she walks in the door, let me make sure she’s actually on her way home. Oh, she must have gotten held up at work, I’ll wait a few more minutes.

Stuff like that. Yeah there’s other ways of solving those problems, and that’s fine too, we just prefer the convenience.

We don’t share locations because we don’t trust each other, we share because it’s convenient. I guess you could say we trust each other not to go crazy with it 🤷‍♂️

We have married friends who won’t share with each other, and that’s fine too.

I’ll retract my earlier statement. Location sharing is a sensitive subject, with lots of facets. Sharing or not is a personal choice. And while there can be practical benefits, I think most people would agree that using it for cheating prevention is… Unhealthy.

Never went to work in a snowstorm? Or heavy rain?

I’m not OP, but my wife and I share locations, it’s endlessly convenient for coordinating. Never abused.

Been sharing with select friends and family for years now, zero issues. And if we did have an issue? I’m turning it off for you 🤷‍♂️ pretty simple. Frequently extremely convenient.

A friend of a friend of mine is sharing with a friend of theirs. And it’s a crap show like you said, coming over, inviting themselves to events, why were you there, etc. Everything you said. And it’s still a problem, to the point where they leave their phone at home if they are doing anything sensitive, because they are afraid of hurting the person’s feelings by turning it off 🙄

I think the key is having a backbone, and also not having crap friends 🤷‍♂️

Same. For this to be a problem, you must first have other problems.

Hijacking top comment to add this relevant information:

I like to put egg in microwave ramen sometimes. But you have to swirl it a bit first and break the yolk.

I used to just plop one or two eggs directly into the bowl with the ramen, and microwave it all at once. But this happened to me, thankfully it did it inside the microwave. But I was at work, it was very loud, and soup was dripping out of the door.

Not fun.

I don’t know any of the law for sure, but isn’t that a different argument entirely?

In one case, an EU resident buys a product in the EU, decides to use it while in the US for a week/month whatever. The argument is that he’s protected.

You’re saying that’s not true, because if he buys it in the USA, then he’s not protected.

But, that wasn’t the argument, was it? It’s different?

Thanks! Though I worry this is immediately out of my wheelhouse haha. I may stick to the can, for simplicity sake. We’ll see

Nice! Care to share your biscuit recipe? I’m not sure I’m ready to give up the can, but it’s on my list of things to try

Biscuits and gravy.

My friends and I try to get together once every year in a big Airbnb, where we basically just hang out all weekend or a most of a week if we can. We all take turns cooking meals for everyone. Only breakfast and dinner, lunch is a free for all. I always get breakfast for day one. It’s always biscuits and gravy.

The biscuits come from a can, they were put there by a man, in a factory downtown.

But the gravy is homemade. Use a giant pot, put a few pounds of spicy ground sausage in the bottom and brown it up. Leave the grease in, lower the heat, add an amount of flour and stir it in for a few minutes to cook it and make a sort of roux. Then slowly add almost a gallon of whole milk, depending on how much sausage and therefore flour you used.

Stir it very often, gently scrape the bottom, but not aggressively, because you likely burned a little flour on there during the roux phase, too much meat to handle, I haven’t solved this yet. But it’ll be ok.

Once it’s good and hot, almost simmering, kill the heat, let it cool a minute or two, then serve on the biscuits. The consistency should be somewhat thick, like, well, thick gravy. Not watery. When it gets cold in the fridge, you can scoop it out and it holds its shape.

It’s so unhealthy, but people love it. It makes a great breakfast for 10-15 people. Sometimes I’ll do a big pan of eggs simultaneously to go with it. There’s always leftovers of the gravy, but it goes on anything and reheats easily, so it gets eaten over the next few days when random people are randomly hungry. It never gets thrown out.

I’ve tried offering to make other dishes, do dinner instead, or do a different breakfast food. But everyone always begs for the biscuits and gravy. So I oblige.

We do usually end up with a second meal, depending on how many people can make it, so I’ll help my wife with whatever she decides to make for dinner.
