Re: Damn..... so close w/ Firefox ESR; still praying for a solution (here)...... - 7 days ago

I would do an export out of both the old and the new firefox of the saved passwords into a CSV file. Then take a look at the two files and see what is different. With some luck you might be able to change the older CSV to be able to be imported once you know what it is looking for.

Your fine, I just don't like the taste of metal in my mouth or the hardness of it so I go with the silocone tops. I had a coffee at an upscale place today and they had glass! straws. Still didn't like it, too hard.

I've had a handful out of my fleet with the same problem. Less than 1% of our total fleet, but it is also the most common failure we are seeing. Replacing the USB-C board has fixed them thus far.

Re: Front & center?!….Verizon to buy Frontier for $20 billion…. - 14 days ago

QuoteTiangou QuoteMikeF Frontier has been a nightmare with regards to their website... Frontier has been a nightmare for everyone I know who is stuck with them. Can't fix what's THAT broken. Take the fiber network and sell the rest of the company for parts. Yep. Same thing with Centurytel/Centurylink/Level3. They stripped out the fiber and the rest is garbage.

Re: School supply lists make me angry - 24 days ago

Quotemattkime We should fund our schools well enough that incoming children don't need to buy pencils and half a dozen other items. Its shameful. We actually seriously looked into this as a district one summer. We put out for bids on what we would need to cover every student and the cost was astronomical. We figured there would be a bulk discount and it would be cheaper than going to Walmar

Re: EV first impressions - 7 weeks ago

Once you get your level 2 installed you will never use a public station again unless you go on a long trip. Check with your utility company and see if they have any offerings. Mine had a deal to rent a charger that they maintain for $12/month(It is a $600 Chargepoint Charger) and then it charges at night on a off peak schedule and I only pay $.06 per kWh. The energy savings costs which is le

Re: Another new EV thread - a question - 7 weeks ago

Doesn't really matter logistically as long as you use a plug rated for an EV or industrial use. The plus would be that you could use it with a welder or other 240V appliance when you aren't charging. Also, while it is best practice to upgrade your panel it is not a code requirement in most locations. A 100A panel can handle an EV Charger, especially if you are only charging overnight when

Quotemattkime Call a couple of places and try an independent agent. I guess my auto insurance is rather cheap. I had to look it up to verify - we pay just under $900/month for two adults and one car. I sure hope full self driving is available by the time my boys can drive $900 a year right? We pay $225 a month for 2 drivers, 3 vehicles, and a camper.
