They are external ports for water cooling. They allow you to run the pipes to an exterior location, and I have never seen anyone use them ever. I would leave the rubber grommet as it generally looks nicer than the hole.

Comparatively speaking, it’s safer than coal mining. Wikipedia Nuclear Accidents by Death Toll

I love hearing about a new tool like this.

• Convert it into 1,500 pennies
• Fashion a slingshot from a balloon, tube, and some tape.
• Have fun shooting cans, balloons, people, etc.

I had this same thing happen when I tried to sign up years ago. There is no way around it, there is no alternative. The only option is to send them pictures of your ID, which is in the “hell no” category on my to do list.

Just to add to your comment, the sell a smaller set for a few dollars less and also a “precision” screwdriver set that has some similar bits not but the full set. Both are very handy to keep around for this exact thing.

Frustratingly, those are actually two separate plans.

Step 1. Mask the item. Change its size, shape, outline, or appearance. In this case, straighten out to be just a bit of wire. Step 2. Fight gravity. Items fall down normally, so hide it somewhere against gravity. Anywhere you couldn’t normally reach is a good start. Step 3. Reach around. Hide the item in a location you can reach, but cannot see. In this case, the air return would be a good place I could reach into and hide a small piece of wire by wedging into the drywall. Step 4. Distract. Take the other boxes of paper clips and scatter them throughout the house. Welcome to the haystack. Step 5. Admit nothing. If they ever claim to have the paper clip, do not check the correct location until the time period has elapsed.

Every station I have gone to with them has had the mute button labeled or at least functional. If they didn’t, I would never return.

The only time they are useful is when they offer a coupon for something I was already going to buy, but that happens so infrequently I’d rather have my attention back.

The idea of a standardized container that is so sexy. Bonus points if it comes in a variety of sizes that perfectly scale and tesselate together.

I tried out podman at first, but I found many docker instances simply provide a string of crap instead of explanations. It was easy to get a grasp of how docker worked, and now that I have an idea I feel like I could jump into podman better.

The moves only make sense if you know what game they’re playing. In this case, there aren’t any ads in the comments, so why would they want you to spend time there?

The only reason to still check Twitter is to see if they have moved off Twitter yet.

Credibility? To who? The people who you are attempting to forcefully inject information directly into the brain off? The only people they care about are cutting them checks.

That dog’s eyes are so big you can almost see the art on the fridge.

Oh, absolutely, but it’s better to escalate. Sometimes you can’t put the toothpaste back in the tube.

Being polite costs you nothing but may buy you much.

The suffix “gaming” implies bright colors, low quality, and a higher price tag. It’s right next to “premium” for identifying garbage products.

Also, I’ve had so many cheap chairs in my life that just failed. The “leather” peels, the gas lift breaks, or the seat cushion wears out and causes pain and discomfort.

That said, you can buy new gas lifts to fix a sinking chair very cheap and buy additional cushions to reduce pressure. If you can’t afford a good chair, don’t keep buying new bad ones!

They likely had Spectrum as an Internet provider, but left them for a better one. Spectrum sends lots of spam in an attempt to bring them back like an ex-lover trying to win them back.
