Don't have an opinion. Have a code of ethics and empathy. That'll dictate your opinions when they are needed

Well not with that defeatist attitude it won't

I've tried nothing and it hasn't worked. I'm all out of ideas.

Don't know why you're getting downvoted. While we all hate the outcome, we can't argue they were effective in getting what they wanted.

Counterpoint: call them anyway. Gum up the works. Change the mind of their interns. Send enough letters that it becomes a waste disposal problem.

Be annoying and difficult and make them work for every inch.

But also be nice. The interns are people too.

Unfortunately not sarcasm. When grocery stores are colluding to raise prices, what can you do?

Catheter required less plumbing and is only moderately more gross

Of course they're shit. Obviously. But FPTP dictates we vote anyway.

Uh huh..

You realize there are other issues out there right?

"it's not my lesson to learn" has been my consoling mantra.

Yes. It's not a problem for her.

But your question makes me think you don't.. FPTP benefits the two major parties. It's completely illogical to think they would not like it.

Or did you mean that she should've lied about her real opinion on order to get more votes?

I bought a house a few months ago and I'm still trying to figure out all the wiring. I found these coming out of a cabinet in the kitchen.

I think (?) the black one is a cut-off coax cable. There's a LOT of coax in this house, so that seems straightforward (but I would still love if someone can confirm!)

I'm not sure about the other ones. They don't look electric, as I'd expect electric to be black + white + copper, like the rest of the house.

There is supposedly a speaker system in the house (I see speakers) but I haven't figured it out yet. Could that be power for the speakers? I'm not familiar with speaker wire setup. If it's speakers, why would there be so many wires?

Label maker for home use (self.recommendations)
 

I'm looking for an inexpensive label maker that can print small labels. I need to label various things around my house for my sanity (outlet/breaker mapping, coax endpoint mapping, etc).

I was going to buy a NIIMBOT D110, but then I saw in their FAQ that they put an IC (chip) into their labels and the printer won't print if it can't sense it. I really don't want to support a company that DRMs their consumables, if I can help it.

Can anyone recommend a good, small, inexpensive label maker? Preferably one that doesn't have sketchy DRM embedded.

 

I've got about 1/4 acre with some odd shapes and walkways. I'm looking to invest in a robotic mower, but the boundary wire ones don't seem to work with my layout. It doesn't need to have clean mow lines or anything, I just want my grass to be shorter.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a non-wired robot mower? Preferably one that integrates with HA, but that's not required.

If you do, what are the pros/cons of the unit?

I was reading about how the EU is thinking of reducing the lead used in ammunition because it's polluting the environment. I wonder if regular lead exposure at the firing range is addling people's brains.

exercise for us? (self.adhd)
submitted 10 months ago by surewhynotlem to c/adhd
 

Exercise is hitting. My brain gives up way before my body does. Even when I try and listen to music or watch shows while exercising, I just can't keep at it.

Has anyone found an ADHD friendly way to exercise?
