So my sewer pipe (which has been an endless source of fun, let me tell you), runs through the power company's land and whoever cut their grass the other day was clearly daydreaming and mowed right over the pipe AND the bright orange fiberglass stick that was marking its location.

@WagesOf @bigzaphod wow - I was going to say get a cone

@bigzaphod @Klaxun I was going to say: because that’s where it had to go.

@GeekAndDad @bigzaphod my neighbor has at least one of them above ground. Which I think I agree I wouldn’t have done

Mine are underground and I can’t find one of them.

@GeekAndDad ideally I would have done measurements or at least taken better photos.

@GeekAndDad There is a good tip here though - I know where one of the clean-outs is and can easily dig that up (my picture was really good there) I could investigate that to see if there IS any sort of metal added to help find it. I always thought it was just PVC but maybe not.

@GeekAndDad I doubt it - the line must have 8x 22.5 degree angles to get out to the road. I probably just need to dig more. My picture does give me some clue where the clean out is.

For now I’ve started the enzyme cleaner maintainer again. Maybe @bigzaphod should be doing that too - it sounds like he has a long sewer run too.

@bigzaphod @GeekAndDad I do see that 100ft online in a code description. They show one inside a house - which I sure hope nobody ever has to open that.

@jackbrewster THIS!

https://Nova.app tip: if you turn on Rainbow Brackets in Preferences>Editor, they make long, nested expressions easier to parse, and they help you make sure you've closed all the open brackets 🚪

This came with one of my eBay orders that arrived today. They aim for FIVE STAR service... by demanding their customers only give them five stars. 🤔

@bigzaphod I could swear last time I left feedback on eBay it was only positive/negative

Definitely not switching to passkeys any time soon

@cocoaphony @jsq interesting! I’m even less interested in passkeys now.

1PW8 showed up in my family due to an auto-update. Do you have a list of reasons why not to upgrade? I was thinking of trying it. Since it’s not on the MAS there’s no reviews.

dxzdb,
@dxzdb@mastodon.social avatar

@cocoaphony @jsq Yeah - support will end someday. We're all paying a subscription, so it would seem like they'd have to weigh how many would give up. I can't imagine living without 1Password.

I have some quibbles about the password picker, but I'm starting to realize that those might be better in 1PW8

I sorted the 1PW7 reviews on the MAS by date and find lots of people complaining. Some stuff I think is website issues, and/or weird gripes that don't makes sense. Maybe I'll just have to try it.

Kid had a cheap little desk fan that charges with USB-C. He forgot it in back of the car for like... 6 months. After he found it he tried to make it work and it seemed to not work anymore. We figured the battery was probably toast or something.

So he took it apart and poked at with with a multimeter. And he couldn't figure anything out. So he brings it out to me. And I plugged in a random USB-C cable on my desk just to check assumptions and it worked.

So now we're like.. wtf?

@bigzaphod in the words of Steve Jobs: USB-C is a “bag of hurt”
