Apple tech is a prison just like any other cloud “the customer is the product” tech. The bars just happen to have a better UX.

Her body, her choice. Had to live with the consequences either way. She’s a badass in my book.

Use Tailscale, for the most part it’s pretty transparent. As long as all the magic DNS stuff is setup correctly, I can access all my internal services by name and it just works.

Where’s an open window when you need one… :-/

Sounds like a good way to ensure it’s neither efficient or economic. I’ve come to expect nothing less from Trump’s policy suggestions.

They use to say television rots the brain, but now it’s clear that television just rots.

See, if anything, I think it demonstrates that most people are annoying… Even after just a few seconds.

This is a perfectly executed shower thought. No notes.

That may be, but I doubt many Cybertruck owners would want to make it less clear they own a Cybertruck.

Wonderful metaphor. Although it’s hard to suspend disbelief in a story about Trump wanting to / knowing how to play video games. He strikes me as the type that’ll buy an arcade but never set foot in it. And then remove all that is good about it and fill it with ticket games.

A fellow greendale alum. Streets ahead!

Abort, Retry, or Fail. But all at the same time.

They’re similar. Generally welding is focused on fusing metals of similar makeup (I.e. steel to steel). While It does frequently (but not always) use “filler” but a good weld relies in the actual fusion of the separate metal pieces, basically melting the pieces together. The filler also tends to be similar in composition to the fused metals.

Soldering uses a dissimilar metal to join pieces and it doesn’t fuse the pieces together.

There’s also brazing, which is somewhere in between those two.

But, yea, honestly I generalize it all into a hot glue gun for metal :-P

Makes sense. It sure as shit didn’t have any real intelligence.

Lucky living?

Seems presumptuous they use an 8 bit byte in middle earth. I’d expect more like 20 bits, but divided between men, elves, and dwarfs. Well, except one of those bits is the one true bit, having spooky control over the other bits. Clearly middle earth computation is quantum.

I use portainer behind tail scale. Easy management anywhere and no publicly available access.

The east / west division in the cost of light bulbs.

Personally, I think this is a meaningless question. For me it’s all about utility. I’ve found science to provide utility to me in helping understand and, more importantly, predict the world. I’ve not found the same in religion. I choose paths that provide utility.

There’s a belt tensioner tool that can be rented from the auto parts store. This helps greatly to pull back the belt pulley to get a belt on. Had to do it once and having that tool made a big difference.
