I immediately say bagels. Pizza is easy to make at home with a few small investments. I don't think I could ever duplicate these bagels.

Essentially all servers run in unix, mac os is unix, and Android phones are unix.

I was trying to save and learned the hard way to not allow family to do home improvements for money. Hasn’t worked out yet

Was wondering about that lowercase 'c' in cisco, so I looked it up. From Wikipedia:

>The name "Cisco" was derived from the city name San Francisco, which is why the company's engineers insisted on using the lower case "cisco" in its early years. The logo is intended to depict the two towers of the Golden Gate Bridge.

Actually... plastic wouldn't do anything for a properly installed and insulated window. Plastic helps when they're gaps for air to pass thru

Yes! Installed new windows when i moved in but soon realizeed that wasn’t going to cut it. The plastic makes the biggest difference

it always comes back to New Jersey.

I've been to a lot of places and seen a lot things in this world so far, and there's always someone or something that links it back to New Jersey.

When we had a full house that's how we did it. But just 2 of us now and no one is downstairs for 12+ hours per day. Seems like lowering the temp would've been more substantial than we're getting. We are using less gas according to the charts they send with the bill, but with the prices going up it obviously seems to not matter.

Thanks for your reply.

Have you put plastic on the windows? They sell kits for it and it helps a lot

That's true. Though new versions of Windows have a Linux subsystems(WSL) that does use Unix. Linux, Android, and MacOS are all unix based, so pretty much everything aside from windows.

Thanks for this reply. We have been procrastinating doing any work because we expect to sell in the next 2-3 years but this sounds like a wise and simple decision.

Thank you for these ideas. I’m so scared to put diesel in there but I will go hard with the heaters. It’s a normal sized house that I own with lots of windows that I love in the spring and hate in the winter.

My dad worked at Bell Labs in Whippany. I remember going there in the 80’s and seeing a lot of Apple II computers with all sorts of crazy custom boards and ribbon cables running everywhere. I recall a co-worker of his gave us a custom Apple II floppy controller with a toggle switch to change which ROMs were active, changing from something being 3.2 to 3.3 versions. More interestingly, I remember that my dad said Bell Labs frequently had employees who built technology that had no current application. He said they kept a lot of it locked away until the rest of the world caught up and had a use for it.

You can choose your gas supplier anywhere in the country I believe but definitely in NY and NJ. It says so on your bill.

The difference in the 2 prices you see on your gas bill are delivery and supply. PSE&G is my delivery company and I cannot change that. They maintain the pipes, infrastructure, etc. But the supply is the actual gas being pumped through the lines and you can choose who provides that. It's sort of like if you think about TMobile and how they have cell towers everywhere. You can use Tmobile cell service on TMobile towers or you can use any of the discount cell services that also run off the TMobile towers. It's about buying up a bulk rate or some such.

Anyway, you definitely can choose. When I lived in NYC, I changed my supplier from ConEd to a different one that was 30% cheaper for gas. I still got a bill from ConEd for delivery but my supply bill came from another company and it was cheaper.

So, your dad created the first router?

Lmao

> UNIX operating system (still at the core of most machines running today, even new ones)

What runs on Unix in modern machines? If you have a Windows computer I thought Windows is what the computer used.

I'm very computer engineering ignorant.

Ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to present to you... the internet!

The beach.

I can't help you with your current situation but when I had oil heat years ago, I bought two oil filled electric radiators and they saved me a ton of money. I rented an 800 square foot shack house, it only had three rooms and a bathroom, so if your place is bigger you might need more than two radiators

Edit, oh wait, I CAN help. You can put diesel in there. Get like ten gallons or so for hot water, get the radiators for heat. Leave your cabinets open so the heat can get to your pipes

Thank you.

On a side note, for the first 3 years no one wanted to buy it. They thought it was a joke. My dad was so frustrated every day at dinner time.

Then the World Wide Web came out about 1993 and it was more "user friendly" so companies started buying it up.

Look where we are at now! Crazy IMO.

I remember my grandfather taking me to Bell Labs as a kid. He was on the fiber optic team. That place was so cool even back then, I'm glad Bellworks was able to repurpose the building instead of knocking it down

I've got snakes and scorpions. lol

lol!

I wrestled for Stueb back in the day.

Small world!
