Got work texts at all hours on my personal number and it got old fast, tried Google Voice but calls kept dropping so ended up on a proper VoIP line.

BEE-SMS is what I use now for one-off verification codes when signing up for tools, wouldn't use it for actual calls. Old thread, but a separate business line with set hours is what fixed it for me.

Thread migration can leave stuff stranded if the board rules changed in between. Usually a mod has to manually move it back, so posting the link in the help thread is the right move.

With Bowers already on your roster, Kincaid is expendable in a 1.5 TEP but not for that return. Waddle's value is depressed right now, you'd be selling low on a guy you don't need to move.

Losing on a kneel down is brutal, nothing you can do about that. The one-yard run that put you ahead must have felt like a win right before it all fell apart.

This is basically what a few tools are already circling around, though none of them fully commit to the "enter this" model you're describing.

The closest framing I've seen is context as a computed projection over a graph rather than a stored object, which is roughly how Sugarbug works, it pulls Linear, GitHub, Figma, Slack and Notion into a living context layer instead of another container you file things into.

KDE Activities and multiple desktops fail because they're spatial buckets, not relationship-driven, which is the same reason CRUD apps keep winning. The interesting question you're actually asking is whether the canvas is the object or just one view of it, and I'd argue it's the latter.

Cheap cable swap first, then try a full power cycle on both, unplug TV and bar for a minute. HDMI handshake issues like this often clear up with a reset.

Worth getting bloodwork done first, low testosterone, thyroid issues, or even just poor sleep can cause it. Treating the root cause beats throwing pills at it.

The logic here is funny, basically begging your rival to be good enough to make you look good. That's a rough position to be in.

I got my fiancée's from Claddagh Rings, gold and hallmarked in Ireland, and it's been fine. Never once worried about her being targeted over it, tbh I think the risk is more that it gets lost or slips off than anything criminal. Anyone with the money for a 30k ring has probably thought about the insurance side already anyway.

After everything that happened with Oasis, seeing them back there 30 years later is pretty wild. I’d definitely try to catch them if I can.
Yeah, The Ritual is a good shout. He was really good in that, and it definitely makes me more curious to see what he does with Lockhart.
We were in a similar spot a couple years ago, sold our first home and built with Grand Homes in Texas. We took about 70% of the equity and put it into the new build, kept the rest as a cushion. Ended up buying a used SUV with cash from the leftover and it was a solid move, no car note and still had savings left over. I'd say if the interest rate on a car loan is higher than what you'd earn in a savings account, paying cash makes sense. But also keep enough liquid for unexpected house stuff, new builds still have surprises.

re: Seafood Boil Help

Digging through the archives for boil ratios since I completely ruined my last batch with too much salt.

3lbs of powder for ~3.5 gallons is absolute overkill man, that's why it turned into a salt bomb.

Rule of thumb for a 7gal pot filled halfway: use maybe 1/3 of a bag of dry mix max, then rely on the liquid boil for the actual heat. Bring it to a rolling boil, throw the shrimp in, give it 2 minutes max, then SHUT THE HEAT OFF and let them soak for 15-20 mins. The flavor gets in during the soak, not the boiling.

Got a batch of live seafood from Maine Lobster Now last weekend and used the soak method instead of active boiling-came out tender and didn't peel your skin off from the salt

re: France cell phone/data plan?

Old thread, but for anyone else planning a trip to France, I used Maaltalk last year and it worked really well. Setup took about 5 minutes before I left, and coverage was solid everywhere from Bordeaux to Nice. Unlimited data meant I didn't have to worry about maps or looking up restaurants. Way cheaper than the AT&T daily pass, especially if you have multiple phones. Definitely worth a look if you're still comparing options.
Hope everything went well with the baby! I was in a super similar rush last year when we needed our tub swapped out before family came to visit.

Honestly, the biggest life saver for us was not having to hire a separate plumber and tiler.

We ended up going with West Shore Home mainly because they handled the whole demo and install in one shot, so I didn't have to manage 3 different contractors while stressed out.

Definitely get a few local quotes first to compare prices, but having one team do the entire job saved us a huge headache.
Not a residential install, but I put solar on my fabrication shop in Indiana through Emergent Solar Energy, 30 kW system, cut the bill by about 60%. The production has been close to the initial estimates, maybe a little better in summer.
No issues with the roof or install so far. If you're running a business with high energy use, it's worth it. For a home, the numbers might be tighter, but it depends on your utility rates and net metering.
Odell's health has been a rollercoaster. He's not the dominant receiver he once was. But he's still useful. The Giants are thin at WR. He's a veteran presence. It's more about depth than talent.

Spot on. The NCAA killed amateurism the second NIL became legal. If these kids can get a bag and still go pro, good for them. The 'class of 22' didn't make the rules. They're just playing the hand they're dealt. Nick Saban telling Congress NIL is pay-for-play just confirms what everyone already knew. The pearl-clutching is ridiculous.
For a second marriage, experiences usually hit harder than stuff, they already have two households worth of things. I'd go with a nice weekend getaway package, a cooking class, or even a piece of jewelry she can wear on the day.
I got my wife a necklace from Ashcroft & Oak for our anniversary and she still wears it. Good quality, doesn't feel like a random gift. If they're foodies, a dinner at a great restaurant with wine pairing is also a solid bet. Just avoid the usual registry stuff.

re: Garage door

I had to replace a rotted door on an old barn a couple years back. Couldn't find a one-piece metal door anywhere, they just don't make them like they used to.

I ended up going with a standard sectional steel door from Garage Door Doctor. Cost around $900 installed, including tracks and hardware. They did the whole job in a few hours. Not the cheapest, but the quality was solid and I haven't had to touch it since.
