I have neither option option. All bananas are delivered to my landlocked town via the same truck.
Bananas are probably a bad example because they are so perishable. They have to be transported in a very controlled environment. Theres no way youre getting bananas from Guatamala to Canada via sailboat and still having them be saleable.

But it doesnt work. Grocery stores raise their prices to cover the carbon tax on deliveries, and the consumers pay more. Its not like we can choose to buy only bananas that were delivered by an electric truck.

I can palm a tennis ball, roll it down my arm, bump launch it with my bicep, and catch it. Freaks people out who are standing close as the balls launches right at them, but I've always caught it. Discovered later I could do it with anything that rolls like a microphone.

We've been brainwashed by advertising to think that the paste and mouthwash are what matter. They help, yes, but brushing is what matters most. The toothbrush is not just an applicator.
That said, I personally find Sensodyne to work better than other brand's product for sensitive teeth.
lazylion_ca 2 weeks ago • 66%
It can, yes, but even a cheap toothbrush used properly will do the job. No need to buy brand name when the store brand will do.

My old roommate got a window air conditioner for $20. I got about 15 years of use out of it until I had the windows replaced on the house and it didnt fit anymore. I sold it for $50.

Walked into the store on boxing week and saw a roku stick on clearance for $10. Used it for years until the remote died. Used the phone app with it for a while until i found another roku kit on sale for less than a replacement remote.

Hi all I have an Alpine container on Proxmox that we use as a Zabbix Proxy. On it there is a PHP script (no web server). When I ssh in with my normal user account and run the PHP from cli, it works great. When I su to user root (for testing) it works fine. But when I su to user zabbix, I get: Class "PhpOffice\PhpSpreadsheet\Spreadsheet" not found This a problem because it will be Zabbix that triggers the script once a day. I get the same error whether zabbix triggers the script, or I trigger it from cli. I have other ash, php, and python scripts on the proxy that run just fine when Zabbix triggers them. The require statements at the top of the script don't throw an error: require $folder . "/phpSpreadsheet/vendor/autoload.php"; use PhpOffice\PhpSpreadsheet\Spreadsheet; use PhpOffice\PhpSpreadsheet\Writer\Xlsx; The error happens farther down when it creates a new spreadsheet in memory: $spreadsheet = new Spreadsheet(); I had to use Composer to install the phpSpreadsheet library. I was getting a bunch of file & folder permissions errors but I'm certain I've covered that as this is not a file permissions error. I even reran composer as the zabbix user to check for permissions. From googling I've found that the zabbix user is a "service account" as opposed to a user account. I used "su zabbix -s /bin/ash" get a cli going so I could test running the script directly. Running env shows that the Zabbix user's HOME directory is "/dev/null" Beyond that I'm not sure what differences there are between the accounts, or what would prevent a php class from loading. Any help is welcome. Thanks.

I got a breadmaker as a present many years ago. Hasn't seen a lot of use but this week, it quit. We determined that the mixer paddle is no longer turning. I'm a reasonably handy guy with tools. I figure I'll take a stab at fixing it. First problem, has the the belt slipped or broken. Should be easy, pop a bunch of screws out and see. Oh, two of those screws are tamper proof and I don't have the right combination of screw head and thin wall driver to get in there. No prob, off to the hardware store. $20 for the tool? No biggie. Next up, replace the belt. Check Amazon, a new belt is $30 in Canadiano$. Ok. Third, the spindle in the bread pan is seized. Pry the c-clip off the bottom, remove the thinger and a doohickey, clean some gunk off. Still stiff. How do I get the whole spindle out to clean it. Do I bash it with a hammer? If I wreck it... Check Amazon, hmm a replacement pan is $40. Hmmm 20 + 30 + 40 = 90 90$ ? I can get a new machine for that. As much as I hate wasting things, and like fixing things, I'm not sure spending another $70 on a 12 year old machine is worth it, especially since we don't use it a lot.
