Check out the overlay filesystem. I’m using it for one pi and have had the same SD card for years. I don’t know if it’ll work for pinole, but may get you thinking in a new direction.

OK, since you mentioned the media, putting “gate” after any government scandal. Nixon’s scandal was involving the Watergate Office Building.

Good arguments. Fun fact: My first accident occurred when I was looking over my shoulder to change lanes. The road was also sheer ice.

Yes. Me. I was taught that the mirrors were supposed to be aligned with the sides of the car. You’re supposed to look over your shoulder to change lanes and not rely on the mirrors.

Similarly, adding gadgets to cars is not a substitute for a car with well designed visibility. I’ve driven so many (rental and test drives) cars where I can’t see out well. Many of the manufacturers will just throw in electronics as the answer.

Fun fact, many of the external sensors don’t work well in winter driving conditions, especially freezing drizzle.

I’m having difficulty backing into parking spots with the mirrors set this way, too. I don’t do it too often, and I was hoping someone here had a solution.

Good point on motorcycles. I still look over my shoulder for lane changes, probably out of habit now.

This works for if there is or isn’t an afterlife.

I read a philosopher’s take once that we’re here to experience things like physical things or emotional things. We choose to come here to have these experiences and then go back as a more matured person (soul?). I like to think of it like we’re on vacation and then we go back and do stuff and plan another vacation.

A friend had a marble clock that I thought was the coolest thing. I’ve seen them around lately and still think they’re cool, but it’s impractical, noisy and takes up a lot of space.

I did end up buying a Turing Tumble which did scratch that itch.

There was a time when central banks didn’t exist. The half that doesn’t like them can go back to that time and trade two chickens and a goat for a wagon or whatever. Go do your *coin with whomever and be happy about it.

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.

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.

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”.

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.

When negotiating a deal, make your offer, listen to the response and walk away (not rudely, just…you have somewhere else to be). The first one who calls back loses. This works well for buying a car.

Edit: oops, hit submit too quickly. I used this to buy an ATV long ago and many cars since. "I can spend $XXX (know this nunber before you start). <wait for counter offer>. It’s a nice ATV, but I promised myself that I’d spend no more than $XXX. Thank you for your time. "

It’s not long, but I really like the feel of Whole World Knows by Adia Victoria. It’s about a girl with a secret drug problem (that the whole world knows about) as she spirals out of control. The symbolism is heavy, the syrongly religious family can’t or doesn’t help and it’s a catchy tune.

Joined/subscribed, but not vegan. I enjoy cooking and have started adding some vegan dishes to the rotation to learn some new cooking techniques on foods that I’m not familiar with cooking, like soy. I enjoy the new challenge. Also, I feel like there are probably health benefits. I’m particularly interested in awhile food based cheese substitutions. I found a fantastic vegan queso dip with 3 ingredients. The other stuff is good, too, but not really on my mind.
