I'm waiting for a Roomba dishwasher where it roams around the house picking up dishes, washing them and returning them to the cabinets.

This is pure genius. Hit them where it hurts the most while simultaneously benefiting consumers.

I don't understand why this isn't the first option when a treaty is violated? Whybwould Canada continue to enforce their side of a now nullified agreement? How does Canada benefit from this?

I've used both. The rice is lighter and contours better, the corn holds heat longer.

I've seen rice "socks" advertised for neck pain since it can hang around your neck better.

That's nuts!

I discovered long ago that I don't really like bacon, I like the salt and seasonings. I was trying to be healthy and bought bacon without the salt and stuff that I couldn't pronounce and found that I didn't really enjoy it so I stopped. There will be trouble if you try to take away my (salted & seasoned) cashews.

TL;DR: I don't really know.

My health care insurance does this too. I save some $50/yr to agree to a call from an RN to help me with my health condition(s). A coworker who formerly worked in health insurance told me that while they also help you to navigate the health insurance system and/or find cheaper care or whatever, you're actully still talking to your health insurance company and not your doctor and so anything that you say is now on your health insurance record. This can be used to deny future coverage for an existing condition, dissuade you from pursuing more expensive (for them) medical treatments or to raise your company's rates for certain ailments (for example, everyone at your company smokes, they'll drop coverage for asthma).

The health insurance company doesn't know all of your ailments simply based on the billing codes. You are protected by HIPPA. Your health insurance company can ask you anything and anything you say to them is not necessarily covered by HIPPA.

The Lady we got ours from isn't showing up at the farmer's marker anymore, but for well under $20, you can make your own corn pillow

This winter's been bad for deep freezes and 4 minutes in the microwave will keep my corn pillow hot for an hour or more.

RO filter under the sink with a post carbon filter. It also connects to the fridge/ice maker.

I can taste when the city treats the water just from rinsing after brushing my teeth. The water tastes "salty" to me. I also was disgusted after the ice cubes melted in my drinks, leaving a sludge in the bottom.

I stumbled into the Superbowl forum from a link in another comment and thought it would be football memes, but was pleasantly surprised by superb owls. Coincidentally, the power went out that same evening in the wee hours of the morning and with all the noise in the house muted I heard an owl hooting from outside.

Have a conversation and listen to her. I'm guessing that her behaviors are driven by an emotion. Maybe she's overwhelmed by the complexity. Most people who say that they don't care about security actually prioritize ease of use over security. Unfortunately good security can be hard.

If/when you speak to her, don't try to solve her problems during that conversation. Meet her where she's at and empathize with her. When she's done, you get to express your concerns and see her reacting. I'm guessing that you're concerned that she is putting her finances at risk. Explain your concern to her.

Once you both come to a shared understanding, then you can come with some ideas for her to react to. Again, dig deep into her concerns, talking through them. You're going to need to let some things go. It's her life and her money and you'll be there to help in a nonjudgemental way if anything bad happens and then you can have another conversation after the dust has settled.

I ended up with my parents having 3 passwords. One for their bank, one for their health stuff and one for everything else. The bank and health ones are long and difficult to guess, the other one is easy to remember and "good enough".

I'm in the same boat, but one day I just stopped talking and started listening, mostly as a social experiment on myself. Now everyone thinks that I'm really smart. It tears me up inside sometimes, but I like the outcome.

Thanks for the feedback. I plan to do some reading on NFSv4 domain mapping this weekend.

Nothing comes to mind for me, but that picture of yours isn't cute, it's creepy. That girl's eyes stare into your soul.

3 ingredient Queso (pinchofyum.com)
 

I just joined after seeing another post. The attached is my go-to queso chip dip. It's also an ingredient in the crunch wrap. I like this recipe over the more complicated ones since I always have the shelf stable ingredients on hand and it mixes up in less than minute.

 

Does anybody here self-host a mail-by-proxy solution? If so, I'm interested to hear about your setup, experiences and any drawbacks. I have a custom domain and a hosted email service with a very small amount of storage. I'd like to host something locally so that I can keep all my email without stressing about the space. I also want to be able to use email on my phone and computer and a web interface for tablets or while traveling. Finally, I'd like emails that I send to be stored locally so I can search it. Does anybody else already do something like this? I can forge my own path, but oftentimes, somebody else is already doing it better.

 

How do you manage the distribution of internal TLS network certificates? I'm using cert-manager to generate them, but the root self-signed certificate expires monthly which makes distribution to devices outside of K8s a challenge. It's a PITA to keep doing this for the tablet, laptop and phones. I can bump the root cert to a year, but I'm concerned that the date will sneak up on me. Are there any automated solutions?
