Or in terms of practical applications, it explains why CDs are “good enough” and audiophile stuff is very often bullshit.

…fuck those useless parents as well. They should not have had kids.

But that’s how the problem started in the first place!

My solution is to continue to only own old (mid-2000s or older) cars in perpetuity.

(And also use a bicycle instead for most trips.)

Task failed successfully.

Neat, now I can design foundations for a moonbase.

Pledging to vote for someone despite the genocide means they have no incentive to stop the genocide. That is the more dangerous stance.

Bullshit, it’s the least dangerous stance!

• You can vote for Biden and have him fail to stop the genocide
• You can vote for Trump and have him enthusiastically support and egg on the genocide
• You can vote third-party and have Trump enthusiastically support and egg on the genocide

Those are your choices. Pretending that there’s some choice other than voting for Biden that causes less harm is a DELUSIONAL LIE, end of!

As I didn’t want to, for obvious reasons, cook a dial full of unknown glues, paints and metals in the family’s kitchen oven

IMO everybody ought to get themselves a cheap toaster oven and a PID controller for craft purposes.

Don’t forget to think about how to keep the salt air from corroding the electronics. Either build a spare or two that you keep sealed in plastic, or find an airtight case with an integrated heat sink or something.

Edit: you might want to look into conformal coating and dielectric grease (for the connectors) as well, although I don’t know enough about that to competently give advice beyond the mere suggestion.

I would definitely like to see a set of charts like this separated out by musical genre.

It used to be at least three felonies a day when violation of a website’s TOS was a violation of the CFAA (which can land you 25 years).

Did that stop being the case?

conspicuously on the same day as the Wikipedia Blackout protesting against SOPA / PIPA (PS: They’re still wanting to lock down the internet, which is why they want to kill Section 230).

Yeah, they’ve also tried to ram through ACTA, CISPA and the TPP since then.

Alternatively, for a shop to be economically viable in the middle of a swamp, it needs to be one of those tourist traps with kitschy signs all over the place for miles around.

If you’re gonna do that, you can’t just have it be a normal shop! There’s got to be consequences:

No, that’s a coop. A coup is what the employee who runs a roulette wheel does.

and keep your style of speech different than your “real” one

Good luck with that!

I kinda feel like you’d need to run your comments through a style transfer LLM in order to do that successfully and consistently.

Definitely not. Which country the activist is in is one difference, but what they’re an activist about is another. Here in the US, some activists get shot by police while other activists get police marching with them, for example.

TRAINS.

Heck, if HA knew for certain it was a workday, it could boot the laptop for me…hmmm. Maybe something to think about for the future.

I’ve been meaning to look into how to integrate HA with a NextCloud CalDAV server or something, because I have a lot of ideas for automations that would be best triggered by calendar events (e.g. ringing an alarm [get ready time] + [travel time] before [appointment]).

Doesn’t seem right to take the extreme position of “publishers should not be allowed to have ANY way of finding out who is leaking things”. There needs to be a balance.

Nah, fuck that; that’s both the opposite of an extreme position and is exactly the one we should take!

Copyright itself is a privilege and only exists in the first place “to promote the progress of science and the useful arts.” Any entity that doesn’t respect that purpose doesn’t deserve to benefit from it at all.

*Sceptre, not spectre.

(I misspell it almost every time, too.)

When my parents got a new TV, I made sure they bought a Sceptre. So far it’s working fine.
