“Bash must have solved the fork bomb by now…”

what I do all day

The Clevo OEM laptops that make up most of System76 laptop offerings are getting worse and louder over time. I’ve had two successive Oryx pros that both had persistent hardware issues that outlasted my warranty coverage, the 2nd of which was simply producing more heat than 3 air cooled heat pipes could ever hope to account for. I know why they stopped selling that particular model of Oryx something like 3 months before the next one was available.

By 2028 “alcoholic idiot” will be the only condition still protected by the ADA.

That’s the best poem about a 4-legged chicken that I’ve ever read.

I’ve been procrastinating for weeks about setting up a dev environment to help contribute to the codebase, but I didn’t procrastinate at all in preordering a Core-2. My Pebble Time might be the last piece of consumer tech that I was both excited for and a satisfied customer of.

That article is light on details. Trying to push 1000kW into an 800V drive train (current state of the art) is going to generate a LOT of heat. Is BYD going to increase the drivetrain voltage in order to bring required amperage down (and heat gen with it)? A lot of car makers haven’t even made it to 800 yet.

My car could charge in well under 15 minutes if any charger in my area could make it to the advertised 350kW. My high water mark so far (after 3 months) is 185kW. Usually its closer to 80.

Reminds me of that George Carlin joke: Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.

So half of people are dumb enough to think autocomplete with a PR team is smarter than they are… or they’re dumb enough to be correct.

Heat and ashing.

Due how finely shredded and tightly packed tobacco is, there is much less heat (that the inner finger is more sensitive to than finger tips) and easier to control / denser ash with cigarettes. Compounding this, the filter helps with heat and the between finger hold makes it easier to flick the dense ash. Their similar in components, but less so in functionally.

“useless” is a more positive impression than I have.

Greeting new Lemmings!

Please wipe your feet, we don’t want anyone tracking in any spez.

Someone should invade Rubio’s house and demand the deed to one of his rooms before they’ll leave.

I’ll celebrate when no one considers this to be news.

Makes sense to move our nukes out of Germany, since Trump doesn’t want them pointed at Russia any more.

It was been way too long since I’ve watched that.

Writing them off as an American company is totally valid, but I’m happy to pay for a quality service because it keeps ads out and lets me vote with my money. It’s really not much to cling to psychologically, but it helps. When I and others completely degoogle our lives it moves no needles at GoogHQ, but paying subscriber metrics are a KPI discussed in every board room in the world.

It’s had that for a while now. It was the main reason I’d pipe up to recommend Kagi, but now there’s also their search anonymizer and tor endpoint.

I was once stuck on a train near Donner pass for 6 or 8 hours. The train had a whole car that had been booked by a girlscout group, so I got to spend a chunk of that time listening to a few tweens debate what order to eat everyone in.

It’s a very efficient device for delivering large amounts of methane straight to the upper atmosphere, where it’ll do the most damage.
