I fill 5 gal bottles at a water store. Some of the 12 bottles I use are 30 years old. My kids and their friends grew up drinking from a water cooler at our house instead of sodas or juice.

When I started buying in 1993, my treated municipal water sourced from the Potomac river had a chlorine taste that seemed more noticeable in the winter. I now use unfiltered tap for coffee, tea and cooking, and barely notice any chlorine taste.


Gold recovery from scrap circuit boards and electroplating solution. I worked in a PCB shop until 1998 and have a small collection of scrap that I would like to process.


I sent the article link to my son because he does not have experience building or assembling hardware or installing or using Linux. Also took the author's ChatGPT prompt and changed it to ask about reusing two HPE ML150 Gen9 servers I picked up free. I think my son will benefit from the details in the article that many find off-topic.


That's totally fair! My personal experience with this was growing up in the aughts and building my first gaming PC from scratch. I associate that as being far more accessible than going all-in on an AI server. Of course in this instance, the two are effectively the same.

Well, I made the mistake of giving you an email address, but bailed when you you wanted more PII just to find out where a lab was in Maryland. Since then I have received 5 emails in my Yahoo spam folder. The "Unsubscribe - Unsubscribe Preferences" links in the emails don't function. I replied with unsubscribe in the subject line, but still get what is now clearly spam.


First off, sorry about the unsubscribe links--I reproduced the problem, and we're fixing it.

We're working on getting API access from our lab partner that would let us build a self-serve lab location finder. We know it's a bit of a kludge now. (API access for these types of healthcare services isn't quite as simple as, say, Stripe -- it often requires a few rounds of meetings, approvals, etc.)


I have a 4G LTE Network Extender provided free by Verizon. My only issue is calls drop as I leave my property.

I called 911 in January and gave my address before the call dropped as I moved my car from my driveway to the street. The 911 operator called me back once I was back in range.

A few months later Verizon asked me to edit the location data with my address. Hopefully, I won't need to test anytime soon.


This is what teachers told me when my sons were in high school 2004-2010. Any mention of drug use, sex or race would result in complaints from a few parents.


My wife uses a Radio Shack alarm clock that looks nearly identical to the one in this post. It broke recently and I fixed it by removing about 3 inches of the power cord where it attaches to the transformer.




I still use Tupperware that is 40+ years old
