No that’s just an app, the set top box has all the main streaming apps without the bloateare of smart tvs, you should never ever connect your smart tv to the internet.

Off we’re only had one bone then dogs would need to be way bigger and probably wouldn’t be our friends.

Wow

Did they get the files or something?

Are we still doing phrasing?

It was disappointing, I did really like her!

But it’s okay, I like my now wife more than I liked her.

Not great, not terrible.

I’m not opposed to a growing country, but we need to scale up our infrastructure and support affordable housing and livable communities.

Probably my closest real life example to this was I had a breakfast date, but I ended up getting pretty drunk at a party the night before and showed up still drunk :(

I felt like an ass.

We went on a few more dates but then she suddenly stopped texting me. She messaged me like 2 months later and said there was a death in her family and she was sorry, but we didn’t set up any dates after that.

I mean, the Apple TV is doing significantly less sketchy shit, selling your data, and spying on you.

It also doesn’t have Home Screen ads and ads stuffed everywhere.

Of the options, regardless of how you feel about Apple, it’s the only viable commercial tv box.

The fact that this will no longer rattle pleases me

There kind of was

There would have been hundreds of people in the community who spent their lives doing metal working and casting

Nowadays for a vision job like that’s you’ll have to find one of a handful of specialists in your area.

Same with glass blowing and other artisanal work.

And good chance this knocker was made from a mold.

That knocker is almost perfect

There just needs to be an even tinnier knocker in the tiny demon’s mouth

Linux is pretty nice.

I have my issues with it, but they’re more on the UI side of things.

I love nixos, I really like Fedora silver blue, and I’m a huge fan of podman — it feels like all the right compromises.

What’s old is new again!

Fill it full of mercury. That’s total reflective and there’s no intelligence in DC for the fumes to damage

Lol

Apparently they’re using peroxide not chlorine

But peroxide breaks down in water and sun, so they’ll need a lot of it.

Apparently they added a bubbler, but who knows if that’ll work.

Oh my god it’s so much worse than I thought.

They’re using 1/3 the effective concentration of hydrogen peroxide and pouring it in with regular sized bottles. You need 35% and they’re using 12%.

This Reddit (spits on ground) thread has someone who did the math

I don’t think algae can evolve bleach resistance.

Bleach basically tears apart the molecules inside the cells and destroys the proteins they need to function. Antibiotics usually exploit some specific weakness in bacteria to kill them, which can be evolved around.

If you don’t use bleach enough it’ll kill the outer layers like a film and leave harder to treat algae to dominate, but the algae can’t overcome the effects of bleach. Chlorine is smaller than cellular molecules, so it’ll always permeate.

At that point they’ll need to physically scrub the whole thing or massively increase the concentration to shock it.

Source: had a pool as a kid, when we would go on vacation we’d come back to it being green. The basic chlorine wouldn’t cut it and we’d need to buy pool shock, which was just more concentrated chlorine to kill the floating stuff, then we’d have to scrub and vacuum the algae from the surfaces.

Edit: I just checked Wikipedia, they’re using 12% hydrogen peroxide. Apparently that breaks down quickly in the sun though, so it’s unlikely to do anything for the majority of the algae.

According to pool websites you need a 35% concentration, so this is going to do nothing at all at this concentration.

So basically, an actual treatment would need literal tons of peroxide applied repeatedly. The dinky bottles they’re pouring in by hand won’t do shit.

It also is known to form a film, so it won’t kill algae without scrubbing, which they’re using army rangers to do… but even though they’re scrubbing it’s still not enough concentration to kill algae and bacteria.

It’s an either make work program or complete incompetence by a pool company that’s only worked on pools with pumps and filters. Or both.

Same.

First they blocked my promotion under a freeze. Then they did layoffs and got rid of people who I respected and had 10 years with the company. It seemed incredibly random.

I quit not long after that. Internal culture just immediately died, deadlines got stupid, everything turned into infighting for resources. From the people I know who stayed most have quit since then, it got incredibly toxic.

So it’s fine to ruin childhood?

That’s a bad analogy
