I feel like the vibration is going to induce microfractures in the photovoltaic crystals, no matter how well the panel is protected from debris.

Yeah they can’t fight Chrome, they are Chrome.

Is it sexism? It’s sexism isn’t it.

You guys have a middle class?

Rupert Murdoch is to blame for a lot of it.

“Space is big. You just won’t believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is.”

Here’s a useful comparison.

The biggest question is, do you think your tax percentage will be higher now, or higher in the future? If you think your income might increase later (placing you in a higher tax bracket), or that the government might increase your tax burden later, then it’s better to pay taxes now.

I mean… what is your threat profile? Are you a LastPass engineer with an unpatched Plex install and access to the company file server? (edit: LastPass not LinkedIn)

Are you going to do something that would attract the attention of law enforcement or nation-state threat actors?

Are you going to be using this mini PC to do your taxes?

Is it going to be in a DMZ with open access to the Internet?

Are you going to use it as an authentication server for other critical assets?

If you aren’t assessing your risk level with some realistic idea of what threats actually apply to you and weighing that against the possible consequences of a breach, then you’re pointlessly worrying about low-probability scenarios. Operational Risk Management right? Judge your risk by probability of occurrence and severity of impact and then make decisions based on that.

Only one thing matters to Trump: Trump. Everything and everyone else is disposable.

Q: Is it shut the fuck up Friday?

A: It’s always shut the fuck up Friday.

The plan is to have a plan.

Folding Ideas is basically must-watch content. Dan’s thoughtfulness and thoroughness are unmatched.

Angela Collier goes into detail on physics topics, especially astrophysics. Don’t miss her video on crackpots.

If you’re into 3D printing you should be watching CNC Kitchen. Stefan does a lot of stress-test comparisons between different filaments and printing settings.

Moon Channel has some of the best sociocultural documentaries I’ve seen on YouTube. I particularly recommend Kawaii: Anime, Propaganda, and Soft Power Politics.

Practical Engineering is excellent. Grady is a civil engineer who discusses infrastructure and makes excellent demonstration models like this one on Why Engineers Can’t Control Rivers.

The 8-Bit Guy will teach you things about the early days of digital computers that you didn’t know enough to ask.

Jenny Nicholson does some great reviews of pop culture topics. Her video about Evermore: the theme park that wasn’t is fantastic, as is her review of Disney’s Galactic Cruiser (the Star Wars hotel).

He could probably draw it in with a sharpie.

Trump has a final solution for black America.

Er, well, a lot of dogs get shot, but not by immigrants.

We’re watching you too.

Now, entertain us, we are bored.

From my extensive experience in this area (true crime podcasts lol), if your hitman is either quoting a reasonable price or offering a payment plan, they’re a cop.

And the ones asking for payment up front will enjoy the free money. What, were you going to get a receipt for that?

Someone else has mentioned M-Disc and I want to second that. The benefit of using a storage format like this is that the actual storage media is designed to last a long time, and it is separate from the drive mechanism. This is a very important feature - the data is safe from mechanical, electrical and electronic failure because the storage is independent of the drive. If your drive dies, you can replace it with no risk to the data. Every serious form of archival data storage is the same - the storage media is separate from the reading device.

An M-Disc drive is required to write data, but any DVD or BD drive can read the data. It should be possible to acquire a replacement DVD drive to recover the data from secondary markets (eBay) for a very long time if necessary, even after they’re no longer manufactured.

Are you “into conspiracy theories” if you’re the one starting them?
