I don’t watch religiously, and I don’t know how public any of his recent health issues have been made, but I did notice he’d slowed down a lot lately. I hope he’s in good enough shape to relax and actually enjoy his hard-earned retirement for many years.

QuoteRAMd®d Much more so than 'like', though, the phrase that drives me up the wall when tacked invariably onto the end of otherwise perfectly good sentences as if it was merely punctuation is "You know what I mean? I feel your pain, as that bugs me if I hear it even once. Similarly is the interrogative, also tacked on for no good reason- 'right?'. Two other things bug me– subs

Re: Sweet spot for Apple Watches? - 2 years ago

I have a 3, but this is not from personal experience. From what I’ve read, if you don’t care about EKG, slightly bigger display, or always-on display, it’s 3. If you care about any of those, it’s a 5. That may be based on there not having been much of a discount on the 4 when I read that, though. If there’s a good deal on a 4 somewhere and you still don’t care about always-on display,

QuoteKraniac GFCI's wear out..10 years is time to replace the GFCI'd outlets...for sure. It could very well be that the toaster revealed this.. Agree. It might continue to happen more frequently, or it may never happen again. I’d blame the outlet way before I blamed the appliance, though. I don’t know about 10 years, YMMV. Test them all periodically. If you’re at all worried about it,

I have a Dymo 400 and it works fine on Mac. I think 450 is the newer version, but compatibility should be the same. Edit: I also wouldn’t be to concerned with a used one either. No ink, no toner, lots less to go wrong. I’d definitely consider it, considering how much new ones are.

Re: What’s your Black Friday & Cyber Monday damages? - 2 years ago

Voted in the tier below car ribbons, but the big purchases were an iPhone (handing old one down), upgrading cell service, and tires. These things were all going to happen anyway, but they happened now because of deals. As far as the more typical stuff, it was under $50: couple cheap rokus and a free plus shipping flashlight.
