That's a good sized heater. It could be filled with sediment and not working efficiently. If you haven't emptied it recently, it might be worth it.

If it's clean, you can try turning it up. It will make full-hot from your faucet hotter, so be careful of scalding yourself, but it will make the hot water last longer.

You could also get a slightly lower flow shower head. Using less water at a time will allow it to last longer and keep do better keeping up with the empty rate.

If none of that works or is something you want to try, you could always replace with a tankless and never run out. Though you'll waste a bit more water each time you turn on the hot since it takes a few seconds to kick in, but you won't run out.

If it's raining, there's snow on the ground, or many other low traction scenarios, the cop would have to really want to pull you over. Chances are they won't.

On a clear, dry day, depending on where you are, barking your tires is a violation of nuisance laws. Again, most likely not getting pulled over unless you consistently did it.

Now, if you stomped on it and your tires broke loose, you are looking at reckless operation of a motor vehicle. Expect to be stopped.

It mostly comes down to conditions and level of egregiousness... and how bad of a day the cop is having / wanting you to have.

I was excited for the new season and planned on rewarching seasons 1 and 2 before beginning 3. Last weekend, I started s1e1 and was in the middle of a dark, suspensful scene when it cut to a bright white ad with loud music. Talk about immursion breaking. I guess paying $130+ a year for Prime isn't enough for Amazon.

I closed the app and now have zero desire to watch s3. It's not worth paying even more to get rid of ads that shouldn't be there to begin with. Amazon isn't making more money with the ads, they are making one less person watch the show.

Yeah, let's do nothing and let the children of people we don't like die. And in the meantime, let's put other particularly vulnerable - like the immunocompromised - at risk. But we'll sure show a handful of people how right we were the whole time.

You might want to rethink your moral compass.

Sometimes, the best you can do is explain a bad decision when you see it. The people who really want to do it will ignore you. The hope is to get the people on the fence to not do it. You won't get them all, but if it saves even one child, it's worth it.

"The government" is multiple agencies and departments. There is no single computer system, database, mainframe, or file store that the entire US goverment uses. There is no standard programming language used. There is no standard server configuration. Each agency is different. Each software project is different.

When someone says the government doesn't use sql, they don't know what they are talking about. It could be refering to the fact that many government systems are ancient mainframe applications that store everything in vsam. But it is patently false that the government doesn't use sql. I've been on a number of government contracts over the years, spanning multiple agencies. MsSQL was used in all but one.

Furthermore, some people share SSNs, they are not unique. It's a common misconception that they are, but anyone working on a government software learns this pretty quickly. The fact that it seems to be a big shock goes to show that he doesn't know what he is doing and neither do the people reporting to him.

Not only is he failing to understand the technology, he is failing to understand the underlying data he is looking at.

My guess is that the label is wrong. My water bill has the same chart with about double the usage as yours, but same ranges. On mine, the label is "gal (in hundreds)". I'm betting that some developer just didn't put the full label on the screen.

He didn't even work for the company, his wife did. She had him record the lines on a tape recorder in their livingroom. She sold it to the company for a few hundred dollars.

Best audio book I've listened to... Dungeon Crawler Carl. Great story. Amazing audio book production.

I had one done recently due to breaking a filling while eating a Jolly Rancher. The whole thing took maybe 2 hours.

The shot of novocaine to numb my jaw was the only pain, and even that wasn't bad because the dentist used topical numbing before that. It was no different than getting a cavity filled.

My dentist has a cnc machine (CEREC) in the office to make the crown, so I didn't need a temporary cap. Waiting for that to be milled was the longest part.

I had a bruise on my gums for a couple days from the shot and the retainer clamp, but it wasn't even bad enough to stop me from eating.

This was occurring for me also since 9/20. I deleted all cookies on chatgpt, reloaded the site, and logged back in. It would work for 20 to 30 minutes then do it again. Each time, the browser console would have a ton of 503 errors.

It seems that some of their nodes are working and some are in failure state. Their load balancer is occasionally directing to failed nodes.

Historically, this is exactly how theological disputes were handled. See Crusades on Wikipedia for more information.

If that were the case, how did you know to post about it?
