So - we should all be getting solar panels since electricity is so valuable.

You know women are allowed to vote these days, don’t you? And they outnumber men. All they have to do is show up and vote for their own interests and they can get whatever they want.

I could never live in a state run by a religious cult.  Makes Kansas look good...

So apparently I live under a rock. Thanks for that...

You don’t get government favors in Illinois ‘somehow’.  You have to know the right person to bribe.

A review like this should really point out that if you get the executive membership with credit card you get 4% back on gas purchases, which alone is likely to make it worthwhile if you live near enough to buy all your gas there.

But they do work with Alexa if you want voice control.

Another way to say that is: “I’m  the one who got my way”.

Unrealistic.  You need your wine club card, and your Costco card.  And now you need a place for your covid vaccine card which is stupidly too big to fit anywhere.

Fry them until there is nothing resembling slime left.

I agree - especially in hot weather you just expect a lot of gas fumes and it was a little shocking the first time in California when I noticed you don’t have to have them.

I first saw this in California, but now at least Costco has them in Illinois. You have to push the rubber nozzle cover up against a can opening or it won’t work (took me several tries to figure it out when they first switched the pumps).

You have to push the rubber cover up against the can.  Might not work with a very small can.  I was confused when the local Costco first switched their pumps and had to try several times before getting it to work.

At least some US pumps shut off if there isn’t a good seal between the rubber cover on the nozzle and your car’s filler pipe.  So no such fun here.

Better trick - get someone else to do the opposite side with you so you don’t run back and forth a dozen times.

Thanks, but that’s like an on/off switch. On the chromebook it is more of an auto-hide. Put the cursor at the top and the tab and URL bars re-appear, move it away and they disappear again. That’s a much more useful mechanism for a small screen, like auto-hiding your task bar at the bottom.

Is there a way to get chrome on windows/mac to have the fullscreen mode that it has on a chromebook - that is, where it auto-hides the top bar with the tabs unless your mouse pointer goes there?

There are probably better things than the Ryobi 18V tools, but probably no other set where more different tools share batteries.   And you’re going to need a multi-tool, some sanders, and a circular saw at least.

Has anyone put him in the truck scene from Home Alone with the polka group?

Does ‘anxious’ mean you are ready to do things like answer the phone and talk instead of sleeping through it?   Then yeah, that’s what coffee does.
