I have a Weber grill. It's about 8 years old. I realized there are some issues with the model (it's a Q) shortly after buying it - mainly, the heat is not consistent all around, so you have to know where to put each piece of meat. And the heat output overall is lower than I would like. But it just won't die. It just works, and works, and works, without any issues whatsoever. I don't bother covering it up in the winter, and it doesn't rust. I'm stuck with it's downsides forever.

Ironically, all the variations you mentioned do not have the gift part, except for the letter 'n' :)

They all originate from Johnathan, which in Hebrew means, literally "God gave", the "Joh" part meaning "God", and "Nathan" meaning "gave".

Possible - but I've been listening to audiobooks instead of reading for years now. It's much easier to find the time to listen to an audiobook rather than sitting down to read a book. Don't see it changing in the near future...

I've tried twice to listen to it so far, but no luck. I am planning to try again, though. I got further on the 2nd attempt.

And that is why in some places in the world, service fee is illegal.

And the oceans are too cold for them, so they are pushing us towards global warming, right?

A custom made Google Sheet to track everything - maintenance, repairs, insurance, and fuel ups. I'd like to move to an app that supports all of the above, but getting everything into an importable format was messy (tried it with Fuelio), and I gave up after a while. The fact that I'm also writing down parts purchased prior to installation does not make this easier.

My plan is to try and convert it all into plaintext accounting format (probably Beancont with a tailor-made plugin), but so far I've been mostly kicking that ball down the street.

No, it absolutely uses a Linux kernel.

Your screenshot does not really show anything other than the fact that Ally attempts a connection to Facebook (it's not even clear how it was blocked). You can see the amount of people telling you to unblock NTP, which you stated isn't blocked - that's a clear sign that you haven't presented you data in an easy to review format.

Why not show what exactly is blocked by the firewall, how the rules are configured, and disabling which rule exactly gets the app to work? E.g., if you block Facebook by redirecting to your own HTTP server that responds, the app may decide to bork because of a failed certificate validation - resolve the Facebook domain as NXDOMAIN in your DNS, and see if that helps.

The fact that they use Facebook APIs is infuriating, regardless.

It's a bit old (hasn't been updated in 4 years), but works great.
