I guess I've only seen them exhausted above grade.

Yeah, there are a few different ways to do it. All the homes in my neighborhood were built around the same time, but some of them have their pipe and fan outside the home. Kind of an eyesore but far easier to work on.

Being in the attic sucks but I guess it's safer. I think installing the fan in the garage is also acceptable.

I slept all day and I have homework and some regular work to do. At least it feels like my Flu B is clearing up.

Chasing skirts all the way back to school. That takes dedication.
Hah. I just really want at least a Master's degree. I don't know if I have the energy to do a PhD once this is all over. I'm taking three classes this semester while working full-time (or more) and dealing with the flu. Fortunately this is my last bad semester.

My higher dose Metformin makes me sick. Especially if I take it with the other meds. I am now an old man. I have to spread my drugs out thru the day.

My cat doesn't like playing "whip the cat" anymore :^(

It's played just the way it sounds. In a high pitched voice you say "whip the cat"(the important part), then snap her with a towel. She used to love that, but I guess doesn't feel up to it anymore :^(

Was calling AT&T support and got their stupid AI. I wanted to report the issue but the stupid AI kept asking me non-relevant questions. I pressed 0 several time to get a representative and it didn't work. I tried saying the word "representative" and it still didn't work. The AI kept interrupting anything I would respond with, so after 5 minutes I started screaming profanity at the AI. All of a sudden it switched me to a customer service representative in India. I believe the AI was probably more helpful because this guy couldn't understand what I was reporting, and kept repeating what I said incorrectly. Who knows, maybe I was switched to an Indian AI. I finally just hung up on him, went online and started a chat session. I believe this was also initially an AI, but switched after several questions to what I believe was a person, who then asked for my phone number so he could call. There was a software patch for my AT&T modem/router and it would need rebooting several times and the person who called me walked me through the process.

Anything more than about 1000mg in a twelve hour period will likely give you the runs. Should help you lose weight though.

No longer a FWP or at least not only an FWP. You can probably get into an argument with a goat herder from West Swaziland if you really put your mind to it.
Guy said my photo was overexposed because I used a 2 sec exposure. I pointed out that the photo was a good representation of the subject. He replied that he used to work in a photo lab and therefore he knew what he was talking about. That's when I told him to eat a dog-butthole sandwich decided that he wasn't worth my time.

She's just playing around; she wants you to whip her harder!

My mom sent me an Amazon Echo as a gift but I really really hate smart devices. I don't know how to tell her I have absolutely no use/desire for it. I could keep it, but again I have no use for it... and I'd have to set it out every time my parents come to visit and pretend like I use it. Just makes me feel really bad.

When I woke up this morning there was something weird with my phone, my alarm did not go off, and when I checked the phone it was super laggy and showed a black screen for a second or two before unlocking. Since my alarm didn't go off, I didn't get to the gym, and since I woke up late, I had to wait for multiple subway trains before I could fit on one.

Why don't you just try it? Keep an open mind about it.

I have one and while I don't use it a ton (mainly to get the weather, or play NPR radio or music) recently I've finally utilized the smart outlets I bought awhile back so now all I need to do is say "Alexa turn on living room lights" or "Alexa turn on bedroom light" and they turn on. Especially for the bedroom, it definitely beats wondering through a dark bedroom until you reach the lamp (light switch don't work on the apartment in that room, I guess). And right now I'm just about done with a skill I'm writing for it (a dice game) cause I'm a developer nerd, WOOT.

So just give it a shot. If you don't use it much, oh well, but keep an open mind. You might surprise yourself by liking something you previously thought dumb. You're not one of those people who think the government and Jeff Bezos is listening to your conversations, are you?

Yeah, I've decided to keep it and use it to play music when I'm working in the garage. I'm sure I'll find other uses.

The battery in the UPS that my workstation and mining rig are plugged into decided to die, so now it's beeping every couple minutes. I don't know the size of the battery and it would require shutting down the mining rig and my workstation to find out and really don't feel like doing that.
