Fabuloso mixed at 1 Oz per gallon of water. Great for getting the scum off the tub, cleans everything but glass. It’s cheap as hell.

Vinegar & water for glass cleaner (with a drop of dish soap). Cleans better than store bought.

Occasionally I’ll use a specific toilet bowl cleaner when minerals start building up. I get the bottle that squirts up under the rim because that’s where mineral buildup starts.

But really, just about any light cleaner works for a bathroom, I’ve used everything. Just don’t use abrasives until you know exactly what you have for materials. Many baths are plastics these days, which are easily scratched by abrasives.

I just use vinegar and water with a drop of dish detergent in the spray bottle for mirrors. Learned it from my grandparents, and it works better than any “blue” glass cleaner for pennies.

I think you meant this for Unpopular Opinions

Not really much of a shower thought. Pretty sure Clark or Niven wrote entire books on this concept (I forget, just know I read these books 40 years ago, and they weren’t new then).

Most often though my browser has already loaded the rest as clicking “more” just slides the box down.

Of you ever feel like you can’t find the right screws or it just doesn’t hold back together well, just Goop the bastard back together.

So much stuff in my life is now Gooped together - I even Gooped some drives into a desktop that lacked enough mount points.

That stuff is magic in a tube.

Hahaha, damn, nice.

I like describing behaviours as effective or ineffective. “Bad” is tying judgment to it.

Being direct is generally more effective than passive/aggressive, if one’s intent is to build on a relationship, but passive/aggressive may fit the bill if you no longer give a shit and want to simply get your digs in before leaving (say a shitty boss).

I think the first example works better by leaving off the “when are you leaving” question.

But it’s still fits the definition.

The irony of that song, nothing in it is ironic.

The only concern I see here is the external drive. My experience has been that powered off drives fail more often than constantly-on drives. So my external drives are always powered on, I just run a replication script to them on a schedule.

But you do have good coverage, so that’s a small risk.

In the defense of end users, they got stuff to do and can’t be bothered to take the time which will make no obvious difference to what they need to do.

The average person can’t even describe how a toaster works, let alone anything even slightly more complicated.

And these users have skillets skill sets in other areas - I don’t expect an accountant to know how a computer works, any more than they expect me to understand accountancy or finance.

You’re missing the point - he’s elevating cli above all else, which you don’t have on TV or mobile.

Yes, I know there are media clients, I’ve used them all. And that screenshot is hideous - compare it to Jellyfin on mobile, which looks just like Netflix used to.

Besides, he’s not doing anything different than running a “server stack” (which isn’t accurate, he’s still running a server, the device hosting the media services, even if they’re native to the OS).

Xerox Parc didn’t invest millions in the 60’s and 70’s because CLI was so great.

We don’t use CLI on our microwaves, toasters ovens, tv’s clocks, lights, etc, for a reason.

So, let me get this straight - you’re saying using command line to play video instead of a gui?

Tell me, how does one do this on a TV? On an iPad? Phone?

Your excitement for command line belies an experience of nothing but GUI, so it’s something of a novelty to use command line.

Dude, get ahold of yourself. I probably wrote more command line stuff before you were born than you’ve ever thought of - I’m not going backwards.

(As a clue, wrote my first Fortran program before PC’s were even a thought at IBM).

Fuck cli except for managing systems. Even then quite often gui is faster by orders of magnitude, mostly to kickoff scripts to do what I need. GUI was a godsend, and Xerox Parc’s efforts created a common GUI language for us, thankfully was embraced. I refuse to go backwards.

And forcibly teach non-technical people to use CLI?

You are exactly the type of person that Saturday Night Live lampooned decades ago.

W… T… FUCK?

Because it’s not a joke, it’s not even funny. It’s a simple mathematical thing which depends on a specific perspective.

Agreed.

Unfortunately people in government saw the cost effectiveness of concrete vs wood and glass for things like a phone box.

Also, fuck brutalism.

I’ll say the same as I said above, but without the humor:

Look at Mr. Neurotypical here! 🖕

Which is exactly why he wants to capture the thoughts.

Not everyone is like you, don’t assume they approach the shower the way you do.

I’ve solved long-standing technical work problems in the shower.

Lol, look at Mr. Neurotypical here! 😜

I’m not busting your balls, seriously, I’m just jealous of people who have a memory like yours.

My mother is like you - she remembers the entire grocery list, and has never in her life written one, so I grew up not knowing about making lists - and I have zero short-term (working) memory. This means unless I work very hard at moving things to long-term memory they’re just lost. I don’t even remember the last thing I said in a conversation.
