      Tbh, for that commute, you might as well bite the bullet and drive round the M50 every day. Which would be horrendous in of itself.
      Alternatively Hitch, you could buy in blackrock which is still fine for kids school commute and you could take the coast road with the bike.

          High end yo.

          Ah it's not your average 4 bed house. 38 blinds and 3x curtains.
          Most of them automated, massive windows.
          I hold silver in tit for tat, and I love you for that

            Yup, not sure why i managed to forget this point, I went to school beside that french school. Anywhere along newtownpark avenue (well maybe not the lower half) or kill lane is still in reasonable walking distance to that school

                  Do the blinds come with people to open/close them for her when needed? We did our 4 bed house for around 500 I think.

                        Automated he said so basically yes. Tis fierce handy and cool having them synced to the sunrise and sunset for example.

                                  Handy and cool isn't worth 14k. I assume money is essentially no object though in this instance. It'd need to be.

                                    38 blinds man and curtains on big windows. Easily done. Pay 700-800k for a nice house and then go cheap on the blinds? Come on.

                                      Fox News’ coverage of the Seattle protests has taken another hit after the news organisation quoted a Reddit Monty Python joke as real for its viewers.  Martha MacCallum, host of Fox News’ The Story, was covering Seattle’s Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone (CHAZ) for her viewers, which included claims from the cable news channel that there were leadership problems within the

                                        14k is probably akin to rubbing money on your tittes. 5k for example wouldn't be going cheap reminds me of the Billy Connolly skit when he went to buy a Carpet for his mansion and when he was told the price he was a welder again. FOR A FKIN CARPET???

                                                          I wonder if any of this is partially determined by your location's latitude? With Ireland having shorter days in winter and longer days in summer for example. I definitely wake earlier and sleep later in Summer. During Winter I feel like I need more sleep each day. My gf said it was as much of an adjustment to the daylight hours as climate when moving from Brazil. They have less variation for the most part, due to equatorial proximity.

                                                          In my early 20's I tended to be closer to your natural cycle. Video Games, Hobbies, Sports and Socialising were all evening-night activities. That said half of my 20's I didn't have set work hours or an office job. In my 30's I typically sleep before 11:30pm and wake around 6.30am. Pretty much lines up with regular office hours.

                                                            I believe move up levels was the appropriate response back in the day.

                                                              I like exercising in the morning as it sets me up for the day so that helps. You gotta go to bed early though for a while to create a routine on that side of things. After a few weeks then it becomes a habit.

A simple swap of Martin for McGrath would probably do them wonders.

So I can create Virtual Machines on the server and remote desktop into that. Easy enough to backup etc. Means I don't need to have a really fancy laptop to be able to do work on (as just 'jump' to the VM). My missus also needs a powerful machine for photo editing, so I passthrough the physical GPU on the server to a different Windows VM. Means that my single machine can run 2 (really could do many more) Windows 'Computers', which I can remote onto via my Chromebook and she can remote onto via a Raspberry Pi and work on with a screen.

                                                                              Docker is stupidly good, basically reduces all of the hassle of VMs to create 'Virtualised Applications", easy to provision extra disk space / additional cpu / handle port clashes etc per-application. I don't think I use 60% of the capabilities of it. Simple example to consider why you'd use Docker. What if your machine with all of the apps you need gets a virus? Or the machine no longer runs a certain game so you upgrade it. Every time you've to re-install all of the apps / config etc. Docker is just a cheat-sheet for that. And with the Community Applications through Unraid's UI, you don't even need to understand it, you just take other people's DockerFile and run it locally to set up a carbon copy of their setup.
                                                                              I've just got UNRAID up and running after having a ton of hassle with the memory stick I used for my old FreeNas install think I'll just go buy a new one for peace of mind. I'm just a little confused with Dockers & Plugins, I got the Community Applications installed so if I install something from that it puts it into a Docker file? Am I getting that correct or totally off base?

                                                                                          The former owner of a Rhode Island trucking company is facing charges of wire and mail fraud after prosecutors allege he orchestrated an elaborate scheme to defraud Amazon out of more than $640,000.

                                                                                          Michael Chaves, 40, of East Providence, Rhode Island, and former owner of auto transport company CAT Transportation Inc., was already awaiting sentencing in another federal case when he was arrested on Wednesday, June 17. He is currently being held in federal custody.

                                                                                          Court documents allege that since March 2017, Chaves opened approximately 30 Amazon customer accounts using various names and email addresses. Over a three-year period, prosecutors claim he placed nearly 10,800 orders totaling around $714,000, but kept the items and instead returned similar or used items or those around the same weight for a refund of more than $640,000.

                                                                                          Court filings claim that most of the items Chaves purchased and returned were auto and commercial motor vehicle parts to operate his auto transportation company.

                                                                                          In some cases, he would replace original items with those of similar weight, including a commercial truck tire. Instead of returning the tire, he sent back two pieces of wood in the Amazon box. Other examples include ordering a vehicle suspension ball joint and returning an oil filter wrench and a stabilizer bar link kit with dog treats, according to court documents.

                                                                                          Chaves also ordered new parts, like ceramic brake pads and a fuel injector, and returned the heavily used parts instead, according to court documents.

                                                                                          The former trucking company owner previously pleaded guilty to falsifying federal U.S. Department of Transportation records by allowing his drivers to operate without a valid commercial driver’s license (CDL) and exceed the maximum number of hours truckers are legally allowed to drive, ignoring the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s hours-of-service regulations.

                                                                                          He also admitted to fraudulently obtaining more than $400,000 in loans from various financial institutions using five different company names, continuing to illegally operate his trucking business using someone else’s identity after he was ordered to shut down his auto transport business by the FMCSA and tax evasion by commingling business and personal expenses.

                                                                                          In that case, Chaves is scheduled to be sentenced on July 17 in U.S. District Court in Providence, Rhode Island, according to court filings.

                                                                                                        Something to do with corporate accounts. Say a large company like Intel, everytime they wipe and reinstall a pc they cant be expected to use a unique key, they get the software to generate new ones, thats my limited understanding of it.

                                                                                                        These guys are selling those generated keys.

Cutting it fine in terms of getting everything done before surgery as need to go into hospital the next day to stay there overnight before surgery early the following morning. Such a dumbass idea to have a heart operation and move countries in the same few months.

Probably less than ideal. It's a good thing that I was into poker and not selling bread.

It seemed to fit waking at 6 and bed by 11 with no hassle. It makes absolutely zero sense that my pattern was immune to light or time.
