    The Happy thread!

    Our heat pump install (X3) did a great job of lowering our heating bills, but the best part really was the summer AC 🙂

    the 'Stuff That's Just Really Interesting 'thread

    https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cn08jy6w0l5o Am I reading that right? Is England essentially making tobacco products illegal (but grandfathering in people currently 18yrs old +) ?

    WTH is everything I want to eat/drink bad for me while the stuff they want me to eat damn near make me gag just to think of it???? Latest is high potassium and I'm mostly a meat and potatoes kinda guy (not to mention my daily breakfast fruit (banana). edit: Oh, and it looks like I've also got...

    The creative software industry has declared war on Adobe

    Refreshing the page didn't do me any good, OTOH, opening in a private window did. :)

    The creative software industry has declared war on Adobe

    Unfortunately the Verge is paywalled. :( I do remember recently reading about the latest version of DaVinci Resolve taking on Lightroom/Photoshop, and while it haven't tried it myself it looks like they're talking about the free version as opposed to the $500+ video editor?

    Toshiba latest HDD manufacturer not able to honour RMA/Warranty

    And the deed is done. B&H also has the honour of being the only online retailer I've ever dealt with who closes shop (they don't take orders) out of respect for their weekly religious day of rest. (In their case it's the Shabbat). I'm not a particularly religious person myself, but I have a lot...

    https://www.bhphotovideo.com/ One of the early large online retailers. Presumably originally focused on photo gear, but have been a great source for PC kit for many years.

    Not really a Rant, more just a general observation.... It never ceases to amaze me how much cheaper many items are when ordered from B&H even after exchange rates + duty is factored in. Currently looking at a pair of 2.5G MoCA adapters (I want to move one of my APs to the main floor) and it's...

    Yeah, so long as you don't mind your driveway being blocked half the time by folks who're just stopped (parked) long enough to get their mail. edit: Here's CP's official site/presser...

    I believe the intention is to continue home delivery for packages, but I'm unsure how they're going to draw the line between full sized parcels and items that currently come in the mailbox. My biggest concern is how they're going to do the mailing address when they convert us to community...

    Bah..... we're resigned to the fact that we're going to be losing our Canada Post home delivery, but were hoping it would be a few years. Didn't need to see our community first on the list CP released today. :(

    the unofficial funny pictures / videos / gifs thread!

    I'd like to think that there's still room out there for creative marketing in retail, but yeah, the sharpie lines drawn on a food product is probably a bridge too far. :) (Either way, I got a chuckle out of it when I first saw it... :) ).

    We're on an inside corner of our street and our curbside grass gets beat up by snow plows every year. The city will send somebody out to spread some fresh seed in the spring if we call.
