There was something really satisfying about building in this case. Phase 1, is done, waiting for various parts to switch to a custom water loop.

@rommsey @deaflibertarian Our GE Profile washer and dryer have been excellent. I’d place Bosch on list for fridge and dishwasher too.
Stay away from LG, Samsung, Maytag, Kitchen Aid and Whirlpool at all costs.
English
@deaflibertarian Speed Queen for washer/dryer
GE for stove/fridge
I know easier said than done. I say this to help!

Two Samsung appliances that are barely a year old are broken. Fridge and stove.
I want the stuff they built in the 60's-80's! 😫

@ulcctakeover @GemStateGhost @johnsops @TanMart03 Fair, and totally true if traveling by yourself, and not with family. Generally speaking my time is more valuable than the small cost savings.
English
@GemStateGhost @dan_wayne_smith @johnsops @TanMart03 The a la carte pricing structure makes the most sense to me. I look at it as a reward for understanding how to efficiently pack and prepare.

Saw a comment saying SLC should push Delta out of having a hub in SLC and I cannot possibly fathom the reasoning behind that. Delta hubbing here creates thousands of good to great jobs. Not just at Delta but at ancillary companies. It would be catastrophic for SLC to lose Delta.

@tiffanee_dawn I’ve seen this behavior on my old iPad. Typically if I force quit apps it will charge properly again it is really weird.
English
Anyone else’s iPhone battery acting weird? I’ve had my phone plugged in all night to charge and it’s only at 76%. I feel like things are fishy.
English
@end3of6days9 There are many types of fraud these days, including people who falsely claim their charges were not authorized.
English
🏦 This mom goes to buy groceries… and her Bank of America card gets declined because her account is suddenly negative.
She opens the app and sees unauthorized charges everywhere — multiple ATM withdrawals at a random gas station, plus gas purchases and an Amazon order.
She calls BoA to report the fraud… and after “researching” they tell her every single transaction is legit and they’re not reversing anything.
She’s been hacked multiple times over the last 18 months. She spent two full hours on the phone begging for help with groceries for her kids and her gas bill… but they offered zero immediate fix.
She’s closing her account the second her next check hits — and she wants the $1,000 they owe her too.
I’ve never had an issue with my bank reversing a fraud claim (thankfully I don’t use BoA), but have you ever dealt with something like this?

This couple paid cash for their house… then Bank of America tried to foreclose anyway?! 🏦😳 A Florida couple bought their home in 2009 with straight cash — no mortgage, no loan, nothing owed. One year later they get served with foreclosure papers from Bank of America. They didn’t even have accounts with the bank. For months the couple made calls, wrote letters, and tried everything to make them listen. The bank completely ignored him and kept sending foreclosure notices anyway — full-on harassment. They finally hired a lawyer and took Bank of America to court. After two months in court, the judge dismissed the case and ordered Bank of America to pay $2,500 in legal fees. But the bank still dragged their feet and refused to pay. For the next 5 months the couple tried to collect their judgment multiple times, but the bank just kept ignoring them. So they went back to court. The judge gave the couple permission to go to the bank and take as many of the bank’s assets as they wanted until they got paid. The couple showed up with a sheriff and a moving truck ready to seize bank property. The bank finally cut a check — but made it $5,700 (double what they were owed) to cover legal fees and the moving truck — and even threw in an apology (that they misspelled their names on 😂). In a world where big banks seem untouchable, this one feels like sweet karma. 🔥

@BillsR_Electric @Viora_Tech_Ai A very quick look at Costco’s financial statements prove this isn’t true. They brought in $5.3B in membership dues, but their overall profit was $8.1B. Dues drive profit, but clearly it is not 100%
English
@Viora_Tech_Ai On the other hand Costco charges a membership fee, and sells its goods at cost. That is right, Costco makes ZERO profit from anything it sells. 100% of its profit is from membership fees.

@GemStateGhost @johnsops @TanMart03 Maybe, I don’t fly Delta much but do use United and SW from Denver. Frontier will always be my last choice.
English
@dan_wayne_smith @johnsops @TanMart03 I fly to Denver multiple times a year and I’ve always checked all the other airlines, but even when adding in the add-ons, Frontier has always come out significantly less expensive. As you know, Denver is a major hub for Frontier, so maybe that’s it.
English
@GemStateGhost @johnsops @TanMart03 Yeah, it is horrible. I wonder how these metrics are collected I’m sure the base price on Frontier is cheaper but once you add up the typical necessity add-ons United & Delta are usually cost competitive at least here in Denver
English
@dan_wayne_smith @johnsops @TanMart03 Frontier flies into SLC. I've taken several flights from DC to SLC on Frontier.
English
@johnsops @TanMart03 Be grateful it keeps the likes of Frontier, Spirit and Jet Blue out…
English
@TanMart03 Delta holds roughly 60% to 70% of the market share, limiting competition, which allows them to charge higher prices for direct flights. SLC is the 5th most expensive airport in the U.S.
English
@Mattizreal @Apolloknius @ramit Yeah words are subjective. I would say upper middle class would be anyone from the 60th percentile to 80th percentile, Upper Class 80th to 95th, wealthy 95th to 99th, Rich to 1%. This would be solidly in the “wealthy” category to me.
English
@dan_wayne_smith @Apolloknius @ramit I know that Middle refers to …in range of the 50th percentile… but this is right about there!
English
I asked a couple their net worth:
Julie: "If you include our primary residence, it's in the ballpark of 12 million."
Ramit: "Have you ever said that number out loud?"
Julie: "No, it makes me really uncomfortable."
Ramit: "How would you describe yourself socio-economically?"
Julie: "Upper middle class."
Tom: "Take out the upper part and you're right."
At $12 million, she describes them as "upper middle class." He thinks they're "middle class."
Why do you think wealthy people find it so difficult to describe themselves as wealthy?
English
@Apolloknius @ramit It is is 98-99th percentile in US. This person is a borderline 1%, certainly is wealthy.
English
@ramit Well mainly because $12m isn't really wealthy. It's upper middle class in 2026 america. The difference between them and someone that is wealth is about a billion dollars.
English
@ramit That net worth is at 98.5 percentile in the US, it is well above upper middle class.
English
@ajjuliani A more healthy approach would be zero child technology in elementary, limited in middle school (labs, class carts), and 1-to-1 in high school. Our district went all in since 2nd grade and it hasn’t gone well
English
Just an FYI you are not going to “solve” or “fix” K-12 education by banning devices.
Just like you were never going to “solve” or “fix” K-12 education by adding devices.
Most 1-to-1 initiatives were about providing access to those who did not have access. If we chose to use devices as digital pacifiers that was on us, not the kids.

@aakashgupta Just checked, I’ve been running the same pair of AirPod Pros for 4 years now. Still not experiencing this issue. I have seen times where 1 AirPod failed to charge in the case and that is always rectified easily by cleaning the case.
English
Apple engineered a $179 product to age one half faster than the other, and the fix would take about six lines of code.
One AirPod is always doing more work than the other. The microphone setting defaults to "Automatic," but in practice one pod gets selected as primary for calls, Siri listening, and voice processing. That pod is running beamforming mics, noise cancellation, and audio relay simultaneously. The other one is mostly a speaker.
The battery gap compounds over time. The pod that drains faster charges more often. Lithium-ion cells degrade based on total charge cycles. After 12 to 18 months, the "primary" pod has meaningfully more wear on its battery than its twin. Same case, same charger, different lifespan. You're watching one AirPod age faster than the other in real time.
The fix is almost trivially simple. Rotate the primary mic assignment every 24 hours regardless of call activity. Balance the processing load across both pods equally. Apple ships a $549 AirPods Max that does spatial head tracking with nine microphones but won't write a background task to swap L and R daily.
They won't fix it because the failure mode sells hardware. When one pod dies noticeably faster, you replace the pair. At $179 to $249 every 18 months instead of 36, that's the most profitable firmware bug in consumer electronics.
shadon@pvrekhs
apple i don’t understand how one airpod can die while the other still has 40% when they both sit in the case for the same amount of time

@BOSSportsGordo It is easier to back into a tight spot the go forward into a tight spot because you have better control. Same reason forklifts steer on their rear wheels not front.

@Krabappel42 @Fergy4Tech @lilyalta Yup special education paras get scolded for printing coloring sheets or simple worksheets for kids, it is ridiculous
English
@Fergy4Tech @dan_wayne_smith @lilyalta Teachers want to do these things and get scolded for making too many copies and not using the tech tools.
English
NEW: a school in northern MI might just be a test case for the anti-screen movement. Educators banned Chromebooks in the middle of the school year. We spent a day: chalkbeat.org/2026/03/25/scr…
English
@Fergy4Tech @Krabappel42 @lilyalta No idea 🤷 why, but it isn’t appropriate to give second graders iPads and ask for all homework to be done on it. Reading, writing, math it all being done on school district issued iPads where I live from 2nd grade to 12th.
English
@dan_wayne_smith @Krabappel42 @lilyalta The question becomes why? Why don't teachers create engaging tasks for collaboration, critical thinking, & hands on? Quality teaching has not changed, nor has the opportunity to use it. What supports do teachers need? What needs to be removed from plates so they can invest?

@WallyB71286158 @TansuYegen Depends on how you measure efficiency. The modern US way is to build enough pavement for four lanes of traffic but only use two and have enough shoulder room for emergency vehicles. This is not an efficient use of pavement…
English
@TansuYegen In the U.S., emergency vehicles use the lanes to the right and left of traffic. Drivers stay in their own lane and yield as needed. It’s a more efficient way than requiring all vehicles to yield.
English
🇩🇪Absolute masterclass in road discipline on the German Autobahn!
When traffic comes to a standstill, drivers instantly shift left and right to create a Rettungsgasse, a crystal-clear emergency corridor right down the middle, so ambulances, fire trucks, and rescue vehicles can fly through at full speed. It’s the law in Germany and Austria, and it literally saves lives. This is how you do it!
