It also is Germany (and France, Malaysia, and Singapore). At least according to Wikipedia.

It’s possible Wikipedia is relying on outdated info though.

Python’s on edibles. JS is on a cocktail of every psychedelic known to man and has been continuously since 1995.

Nah, just do it in CSV.

Tequila, in basically any quantity, regardless of total amount of alcohol consumed, will give me a horrific hangover. As will anything that contains agave, regardless of alcohol content. I’m pretty sure I’m allergic, but I haven’t gotten that medically verified.

Other than that I don’t really get hangovers. I’m sure that will change as I get older, but I’m in my early thirties and it hasn’t yet…

And VacuumTube for an app like experience on HTPC’s, linux based set top boxes, as well as MacOS and windows or linux based tablets.

Edit: added hyperlink to projects github page.

used to go once a month or so, but then covid lockdowns happened and the barber I liked actually complied with the regulations (which is a good thing), which made it more inconvenient than I though it was worth to get a haircut. At first I figured I’d go back once things started returning to normal, but then that took a while and I never did. So, I haven’t gotten an actual haircut in almost six years.

I did start getting the ends cleaned up every six months or so about a year ago though.

They’re both senators. This petition appears to be for the House only.

Really only a handful of things:

1. navigation while traveling - don’t need it much, if at all at home, but I travel often enough for work that losing that capability would be painful.

2. MFA - authenticator apps are the most convenient way to do MFA. SMS/email are terrible options for this and should only be used if there is absolutely no other option.

3. Access to the internet while away from home, both while traveling and while out and about

4. Music playback in the car

5. Communication - most of my friends don’t use SMS/voice to talk, instead preferring Discord or Signal

Basically everything else I do on my phone could be done from a more proper computer with minimal inconvenience.

I wish they’d hide more from me, specifically shorts and the “you may be interested in <sports thing/news thing/current event>”. It seems like no matter how many times I click not interested they keep coming back up. And I can’t hide shorts on AppleTV without going to the website and then they just pop back up every 30 days.

Acetone smoothing is mainly for FDM prints made from ABS or ASA and works because those plastics are readily soluble in acetone.

For resin prints acetone can be used as a substitute for or additive to IPA when cleaning off excess resin before curing. There’s even some evidence that it works better than IPA alone for this purpose. Although, if you leave a resin print in the acetone too long it can cause some discoloration and make the part more brittle.

It’s not “assumed to be secure.” The source code being publicly available means you (or anyone else) can audit that code for vulnerabilities. The publicly available issue tracking and change tracking means you can look through bug reports and see if anyone else has found vulnerabilities and you can, through the change history and the bug report history, see how the devs responded to issues in the past, how they fixed it, and whether or not they take security seriously.

Open source software is not assumed to be more secure, but it’s security (or lack thereof) is much easier to verify, you don’t have to take the word of the dev as to whether or not it is secure, and (especially for the more popular projects like the ones you listed) you have thousands of people with different backgrounds and varying specialties within programming, with no affiliation with and no reason to trust the project doing independent audits of the code.

A couple of years ago I lived in a house with a few friends that we rented from one of their parents. They had a somewhat extensive homeassistant setup. We set up a couple of fun automations.

-Enter 8675309 on a keypad by the door - Play the song at full volume

-Enter 911 - Play police sirens at gradually increasing volume

-Enter 420 - Play that one sample of Snoop Dogg saying “smoke weed every day.”

-Leave the fridge or freezer door open for more than five minutes, start playing Dare to be Stupid by Weird Al at full volume and set all of the lights to red.

I think outside of highly formalized writing (usually found exclusively in academia) grammar only matters to the extent that it doesn’t interfere with the voice of the author.

It matters because it makes things easier to read. A wall of text with no punctuation or capitalization is difficult to parse, both for the reader and for the writer if they need to go back and make changes.

On the other hand, punctuation can be used incorrectly to convey things that might be part of how the author speaks. Examples being: using ellipsis to indicate trailing off at the end of a sentence, perhaps because you’re still trying to find words to finish the thought, or using parentheses to indicate a slight tangent or clarifying statement, or failing to use a period at the end of a text message to indicate a softer tone and an openness to a response.

Capitalization and misspellings can be used similarly. Such as intentionally misspelling a word to indicate that it should be pronounced differently than usual, or capitalizing all or part of a word to add emphasis.

TLDR: Proper grammar matters for clearly conveying information, but intentionally breaking grammatical rules is a good way to add your voice, personality, and tone into your writing. And that is more important than being technically correct.

Cold. 65F (19C) should be a once in an absolutely never heatwave. Average annual temperatures should be closer to 0F than 0C. Fuck the heat, fuck the Summer, and fuck that stupid ball of plasma it rode in on.

Bring back snowball earth.

If they’re considering optical media, typical BD-R, while viable, may not be be the best choice. BD-R M-Discs would probably be a better choice for backups. Especially if they’re planning on needing access to the data over a period of decades, which would be potentially useful for familiy photos/videos and critical documents.

They are more expensive, as is the drive needed for them, but not by enough to be out of reach or even unreasonable given the additional durability of the discs.

The article mentions that previously they used pig cadavers with dyes and specially marked tissues to guide the robot. While it doesn’t specify exactly what the “lifelike patient” is, to me the article reads like they’re still using a pig cadaver just without those aids.

I usually just put my entire library from my Plex server on shuffle and listen to whatever comes up. Which is usually a lot of nu-metal, alt-rock, folk music, j-pop, rap, and j-rock.

Sometimes though I’ll have something specific I want to listen to, recently that’s been a lot of Colm R. McGuinness (over on YouTube) specifically his WH40K songs, but also all of his other stuff. He makes some great music and I’d recommend checking him out.

Not currently medicated for ADHD (though I am diagnosed), but I take modafinil for a shift-work related sleep disorder. It also helps with the ADHD. On the days when I take it, I find myself able to focus and get things done.

During high school and my early twenties i was on Adderall XR and IR. That was much more effective and the only reason I’m not still doing that is because my job has travel requirement to countries where those medications and similar are illegal.

It’s one reason among a few that I’m currently looking for a new job.
