If the extender has a different SSID, you can disable auto connect for that access point.

Forming relationships are all about risk. If you know this much about her already it’s possible she already likes you!

Go for it!

I buy Samsung SSDs when I can afford them, Kingston when money is tight. Samsung is faster, especially their NVME drives. Both have been very reliable for me.

These are used drives that have about 35K hours (4 years) of power on time.
Good quality drives to be sure, but maybe not as reliable now as they once were.

I feel like I should point out that pure lead is really soft. So soft in fact that you should be able to easily scratch and deform it with a dull knife. Lead will also tarnish really quickly when heated and turn a flat grey color. Because of its low melting point, lead would also be a really bad filler metal for cast iron cookware. It would soften and fall out if you ever overheated the pan.

Try scratching a line through both the pan and the brighter area with the tip of a fork or a dull knife. If it’s lead, the shiny area will scratch much deeper and feel different compared to the cast iron.

Also, filling a hole or a void with lead might be easy, but welding with steel is also easy and probably cheaper from a manufacturing perspective.

I am far from being an expert, but I would think the shiny spot is indeed a repair but with arc welded steel or an iron/nickel alloy. Both of which will be durable, stand up to heat beautifully, and also appear noticably shinier than cast iron even after being heated on the stove.

I do this too. Speedway and Shell play video ads on their pumps with no obvious mute options. I don’t buy gas there.

I see variations of this argument all over the place. The thing is, if you mistreat an entire population of people for several decades and they get the opportunity to repay that in kind, who could blame them? At some point the violence needs to end. The people of Israel should understand that. Unfortunately, it seems they do not.

Those holes are almost certainly made by a woodpecker. That probably isn’t the real problem though. That wood is almost guaranteed to be infested with insects.

For me, I started thinking about the cost and the smell every time I had one. I quit cold turkey a few weeks later and felt grossed out every time I had one after that. I quit in 2009 and haven’t had a cigarette since 2010.

Cigarettes smell really disgusting to me now.
