Oh, that was me. I installed it on my desktop Linux computer the other day.

You’re welcome.

“People voting for their leaders? That’s socialism!”

Surely there are other videos that start with the same ID…but they probably never get watched because everyone is like, “HA! You’re not rickrolling me!”

I was on an airplane one time when someone was doing that. The flight attendant heard it and said something like, “Oh no, that’s not okay,” then figured out who it was and had them turn it down. No one even asked - she just did it. Excellent.

I’m wondering how many people skipped your comment because it was too long.

I’ve had people go “I don’t have time to read 3 paragraphs!”, as though that’s some kind of argument against the point I’m trying to make. Attention spans are down.

Man I want to put LED bulbs in my 1999 model year car, but I don’t want to start blinding people. The last thing I want is for someone to hit me because they were blinded. It seems many LEDs do intend to have similar beam patterns to halogen bulbs, but I’m not sure how well they actually do.

Our 2020 Mazda has LED headlights, and I gotta admit, they are much better for seeing. We live off the beaten path, not a ton of traffic, but plenty of deer and other animals.

On the other hand, my headlights in the 1999 had gotten really hazy, and I recently did one of those headlight restoration kits to it, and it worked stunningly well. Since then, I haven’t driven at night very much to get a feel for how much it helped. So maybe I won’t need LEDs. (The halogens in there are relatively new.)

Brain and brain! What is brain?!

I kind of like having that layer of someone who knows what they’re doing. House purchasing and selling isn’t something we do often, so a knowledgeable person seems like a reasonable investment. Same reason you shouldn’t be your own lawyer.

I do have some qualms about how they get paid. The commission I pay my own agent doesn’t really even bother me that much, although they’re obviously incentivized to get us to buy the most expensive home we can afford. But the commission that the seller pays to the agent for the purchasers disturbs the hell out of me - it’s a pretty clear conflict of interest.

We had a “Buyers Agent” for our last purchase - this is someone that only does buying; they do not sell homes. The idea being there’s less conflict of interest because they’re not trying to sell you a home they have listed (the company he owned did not list homes at all). Great idea, but they still take the commission from the seller, so it’s not perfect. We worked with another agent from a different company for selling the old house.

I used to live in a condo where we didn’t have washers and dryers in the units, and couldn’t add them. (The building was originally going to be an apartment, then they decided to sell them as condos instead while it was under construction.) We had a laundry room on each floor. In that situation it wasn’t a cost thing. And I’ve used laundromats even when I did have my own washer and dryer, for things like bedspreads, or when we were on a long road trip in an RV.

In a shared situation like that, it’s good etiquette to be ready to remove your clothes when the cycle ends. That’s just common sense. Set a timer for a few minutes less than is on the clock. It’s not hard. I would give people a few minutes of grace - as it seems the laundromat did - then remove their clothes. They don’t like it? Then they can be there when the washer or dryer finishes.

In the condo, one woman didn’t want others using the time she paid for even if her clothes were dry, so she’d remove her clothes, shut the door, and restart it. I was waiting a few times when the dryer finished, and no one ever showed up, so I looked, and yep, empty. Thanks for wasting that time of my life, lady, when I could’ve started drying my clothes 15 minutes ago. And it wasn’t like there was ever going to be enough time left for my clothes to dry, so I’d still have to pay. I’m not sure what point she thought she was making.
