My house has an OLD sewer connection. Gotta snake the tubs and sinks(and formerly the kitchen sink and washer connections) so often that I used a hole-saw to remove the cross-shaped bits that would normally hold a plug(and catch a bit of hair).

You'll never guess what never comes out(any more) with our 50ft, 1/2-inch drain auger; Hair. Waxy stuff? Check. Black Goo? Check. Fricken YARN/threads from the washing machine on the other end of the house? Check. We've somehow got it down to where only the tubs need snaked regularly, but still, no hair any more.

I thought the whole house was sharing a 1.5-inch(okay, two inch) connection, then a few months back when there was flooding nearby, this bastard swam up our toilet:

Figure he needed at least a three inch pipe to get through without just getting stuck.

Best you can do is remove all funds from those accounts and have them lock them so they can't recieve deposits or issue withdrawals. THAT, they can absolutely do.

Any data deletion will probably happen automatically or not at all, but there's no incentive for them to retain any detailed transaction information beyond federal requirements, and yes, its seven or more years, depending on criterai like amounts and location.

Yeah ... it wasn't your site, it was my criteria and the ads changing just enough to be confused for results.

She's an indisputable beaut, now that I get how it works.

Doesn't work for me on Firefox mobile. Neither "mobile" site or Desktop versions. Hitting "Next/Enter" on my keyboard does nothing, there is no Submit button that I can see, and refreshing the page just resets all fields to defaults.

I don't want an Intel with 4gb RAM and a 256GB spinning drive, and OS included? No dice, that's what I'm offered. Without being able to filter results, its just another craigslist/amazon/newegg front-end ... a less useful one.

EDIT: Turns out there are zero fanless non-Intel, 16+GB RAM, 1024+GB SSD/eMMC offerings with USB-C to list. Strange no-one is packaging an OrangePi 5 Plus like so, but I haven't seen a fanless heat-sink sufficient to make that a good idea anyways.

I had tweaked some of the options, but without clearing either-or-both of those last two, especially "fan-less", all I was getting was the five sponsored "results" the top, which changed just enough to make it seem like that's all the results I could get.

I'll my favorite songs by her, aka the only ones I can stand, are about enjoying/being okay being single.

This tracks. Give it a catchy beat and send it to the top of the charts.

Secret Service needed to find out if he had any sponsors, accomplices, handlers, whatever.

One would hope, but no, so long as the Super-Intendent gets his kick-backs, this is the shit that takes priority over all-else.

THAT is a fucking masterpiece.

Joke's on AI. It's harder to stop us from outing ourselves.

Quest For Glory(not really D&D, but old) had them as a Grey, Pot-bellied, lanky, human-heightish, short-eared magical Goblinoid(holy shit: Endermen?). I never encountered any refference to them in western literature with either dog features or lizard tails or scales until some of the more recent Forgotten Realms books; Their presence always seemed like an after-thought. I mostly read the D&D novels though.

Never occoured to me that any dog-people I saw in anime or manga were kobolds, nor that those came into Japanese media through D&D, but un-like D&D, a lot of them were named characters that did stuff.

Still haven't seen a depiction of a lizard-Kobold. Sounds more like a Dragon-born's pet.

Who said anything about setting up a tax deduction? I'm setting up an indirect benefit to others that counts as an illiquid asset. It's not an investment since its purpose isn't profit, and its not charitable since I remain in control.

Pay attention to the genie's criteria, and realize: for anyone actually trying to do some good, the IRS criteria might as well be so capricious and arbitrary. With that kind of money and a lot of these organizations, I would rather donate it directly, yes, but there are also plenty of organizations and causes where more money in the pot means more CEO and middleman pay. That, and the IRS, don't have to count as a valid reason to withhold a single penny for someone that's supposedly capable enough to have any business managing such a large amount.

Funny thing about trusts: You can set them up so you retain ownership and control until you die. So sure, giving it away, but in the future. I could also be petty later, dissolve the trusts and sell-off the land, though with the rest of the money coming from the Genie, I should never come close to needing to do that.
