Haha. My brain went the same direction you did - After reading the post text, I thought OP might be looking to use the device as a standalone media player, not just client. I hadn’t noticed that OP specified “Client” in the title.

Same vibe but I only use the +30s button to enter cook time. Bonus points to microwaves that automatically start when you press +30.

The article was referring to the cost to replace them, which would be both the equipent (camera, solar panel, pole, mounting hardware) and labor.

Edit: so yes, all told it appears to cost $3k to have a camera. But the camera piece alone would cost a lot less than that.

This must be a terrifying situation for you. I know you regret violating her privacy and don’t want to tell her that, but given what you know now, I think you need to talk with her about it. I’d recommend doing it soon (like today).

Do some quick reading first (and more reading later). Look up “suicidal ideation,” especially if you aren’t familiar with the concept. Suicidal ideation doesn’t usually have a direct cause, especially one that can be treated. Treatment is generally focused on helping the person understand and manage the thoughts. Hopefully she has a therapist that knows about this and is helping her.

Be understanding about why she hasn’t told you. She probably wants to be treated as a strong, “normal” person. Telling you, or anyone, puts her at risk of being treated as broken. Same goes for depression.

Listen and be compassionate. People like to give easy, “obvious” solutions to these kind of issues. DONT DO THAT. She isn’t stupid. There are no easy solutions.

The best thing you can do is be understanding, listen, and assure her you won’t treat her different.

And—at the very least—wear some safety glasses.

That’s because it is poetry. Mom might need a psych eval, but it’s still poetry (and I love it).

That is gorgeous! Now I feel like I need to build one to replace my harbor freight workbench… I guess I’ll add that to my ever growing pile of projects :)

What are the two doodads sticking out of the dog holes on the angle brace?

And any tips on picking out flip down casters? Seems like that would be a great feature.

I realize that's not as serious a charge as the predatory microloans themselves, but it does give me some measure of personal satisfaction to read about their self-inflicted wounds.

I dont think klarna’s part in micro lending is any less despicable than that of the microlenders. They are working together to sell predatory products for a profit. To me, a person selling customers to loan sharks is just as morally guilty as the loan sharks themselves.

I don’t see anything in the article that states the attack started that morning. It says that i was “first noticed” early Friday morning:

According to remarks by St. Paul Mayor Melvin Carter, the attack was first noticed early in the morning of Friday, July 25.

I’m not arguing it’s China, just that I didn’t see anything indicating they know when the attack started

That is some quality cat content there. Love it! And I’m not even a cat person.

Op:

And people actually show up. like wth. given that it's 5% population max.

Their view of pride parades sounds pretty negative to me.
