  • It may depend on the store. My local publix trains it’s employees like Chick-fil-A does, and they probably would be offended if you didn’t let them help you.

    The baggers at my local food lion (if there is a single one in the store) are offended that they have to help you at all (probably because they’re expecting you to be the fifth person today to come back in the store demanding a refund for the one cracked egg in their dozen)







  • Avoiding cold water is just bad advice and it’s perpetuated by people who do not live in hot climates. It violates thermodynamics to say adding cold stuff makes you hot.

    If you’re already to the point of sweating, your body is trying to cool you down. Adding cool liquid will make you colder, not hotter. Go read medical recommendations for how to treat heat stress, they will never tell you to drink hot tea and eat some chillies


  • This is exactly why I switched off daily driving Linux after a few months. I didn’t find it hard to get things set up initially, but you keep running into constant issues that take hours to troubleshoot and fix.

    I got to the point where if I booted up my computer to quickly do a task and I got a cryptic error message that I had to put into Google to fix one more time, I’m not wasn’t going to troubleshoot it, I was going to throw my PC out the window.

    I love the ideas behind Linux, and I love having open source alternatives to windows and Mac, and I’ve donated to a couple projects… but based on my last attempt (1-2 years ago) Linux is still far from being a daily driver alternative on personal computers for the average person.


  • I think you’re looking for a storm door glass retainer. This does not look like weather stripping to me. Generally , weather strip goes on parts that are designed to move and need to seal (the soft black plastic around car doors). If it’s soft and pliable, it’s probably weatherstrip; if it’s rigid and inflexible it’s likely glass retainer.

    I’d follow Decoy321’s advice and take measurements and pictures, then go to your nearest hardware store. But odds are they won’t have the exact match for the existing door, this glass retainer is generally unique between manufacturers and even within product lines.

    You may have better luck going through a window and door installer and see how much it would be to get them to repair it, since the parts are so unique.
