It's an early #AllstonXmas gift in #SomervilleMA. I know Labor Day is great, but there's a lot of move-out in May too.

Looking for advice from handy people: can I unscrew the drop panels from this gateleg and expect to get them back on later? Or should I just leave it alone.

Super heavy to move intact. You should have seen me wheel it the block down the street at 10pm last night....

Also: wood type?

We want to buy an electric car! It's exciting but also daunting to make car buying decisions, and harder to evaluate with electric than it was for gas.

Safety and reliability are the highest priorities — which was easier to evaluate with models like the Honda Civic that's been around for decades

Lucid looks really nice, but I question the reliability of a brand that's only been on the road 4 years (with few total cars)
BMW i4/i5 seem good
Hyundai ioniq 6 is shorter range but also cheaper

We want a small sedan/hatchback, and below Civic size seems to correlate with range

Good afternoon to the owners & operators of the #CatsOfMastodon

Please find a picture of my cat, Anzu, who has no rear hip sockets. As such, he has life-long "swimmer's syndrome".

I am seeking recommendations for a cat box that might best accommodate him: low, wide entry, and high walls seems ideal, but I am not certain.

Thank you kindly for your assistance, and take comfort: he's one of the happiest beasts I've ever encountered.

Cheers.

Friends, are you using Time Machine or a similar automated regular versioned backup system? I’m considering giving it up as using a laptop/desktop has become more difficult and there do not seem to be equivalent systems for iOS/iCloud (without setting up my own solution on a “server” elsewhere ).

Meltdown No. 1: I moved my car +-8ft. from it's normal spot
Meltdown No. 2: We replaced the garden flag that got destroyed with hurricane force winds.

How do you help your kid deal with changes?

What, if anything, can I do to soften new leather straps on a ball gag? The corners of the strap that hold the ball are sharp on the sides of my mouth, making it difficult to wear for as long as I otherwise could. I can't use any harsh or unsafe chemicals since it goes in my mouth. Anyone have tips?

I have a directory on one remote server (let's call it SOURCE) that I need automatically copied/one-way-synced to a directory on a different remote server (let's call it CLIENT). Files will be added to SOURCE sporadically and will need to be copied/synced to CLIENT as soon as possible. Copy/sync doesn't need to go the other direction (the files will, for example, be deleted from CLIENT and shouldn't be deleted from SOURCE).

Any reason to use #Postgres over #Maria?
