Do you mind sharing what brand retail UPS weren't lasting a year?

I'm dealing with similar brownouts and also an area with lots of lightning. I got about 5 years out of my UPS batteries. Wondering if I've just been lucky.

Windows is never going to like an NTFS that has been touched by another OS even if it windows was completely shutdown during that time. Reading the NTFS partition might be okay. But, last I checked none of the Linux drivers could write without windows noticing and fouling things up. If that has changed it would be welcome news to me despite my warning use of windows.

If windows (and to a lesser extent that other OS) came bundled with some ability to mount, read, and write filesystems popular with other operating systems this wouldn't be such a problem. One shouldn't have to involve the network stack or 3rd party drivers just to share a partition on the same hardware or a portable drive with a modern file system.

"Step-sister-wife, help me I'm stuck."

Funny. This is the same video I show to my friends to help them pronounce guanábana correctly.

EARasures are the ones I've been using. No idea if they're the best. A good fit for your ear is critical for whatever brand you choose.

Doesn't need to be metal to have a bass or drum line that shakes your ass.

I wear musicians earplugs pretty much any time I'm in a crowded place because the people are the loudest and noisiest things. A quieter music act would be quickly drowned out. But, the earplugs help me hear everything better (the music, the people next to me trying to talk to me, general situational awareness) because they only block the damaging parts to the sound without muffling everything.

If you have ever felt the relief of silence after being in a noisy environment, musicians earplugs on a keychain with you always will change the way you interact with the loud world we live in. They have saved me from unnecessary stress, anxiety, and further hearing loss at work, on a night out with friends, crowded bars, clubs, outdoor events, conferences, malls. I appreciate well engineered sound design, like FEELING the sound wash over and through me. But bad acoustics, noisy people, and tinnitus stress me the fuck out.

TLDR: I wear musicians earplugs mostly because of people and they help me hear everything better and feel better even if they're not needed to avoid injury.

They generally don't breed in large bodies of water where the water is flowing. They moatly breed in the little stagnant pools of water that collect in other spots because of poor drainage or things like tires, empty pots, and other trash being left out in the rain. There exist these little pellets that poison those stagnant puddles for the mosquito, but not your pets. That and proper drainage around your house will do wonders to reduce the excess population. Pointing a fan to blow out at any open window can help too, but proper screens (with a fine enough mesh) would help more. Mosquitoes don't like a stiff breeze.

Elephants (and mammoths probably) are also herbivores that chew their food. Sometimes that food is a whole tree. Using the polar bear sharp bone strategy would be like feeding a razor blade to a wood chipper.

Fair point. And we're back to regular bikes. But I think the fuel supply will still last longer than an e-bike.

Hollywood has been profiting off of remakes basically from the very beginning. Here's a short list of some of the most popular. And before movies, you might be shocked to learn that stage performers regularly "remade" productions originally performed by other groups. Anyone performing Hamlet or that Scottish play after The Globe burned downed is a fucking hack apparently.

That's exactly why repairing any old Honda or Toyota hatchback will be easier than repairing an e-bike.

No, I don't think you can.
