We got tired of daily crush posting I think. Also I regularly got excited because I thought it was cush posting (matt )

Recently actually but they were coin cells for my car's key fob. Use AA & AAAs in a few things but I switched over to NiMH rechargeables for those years ago. Worth it imo.

Maybe this is obvious but it's amazing how powerful the Enterprise is in Star Trek (TNG). And so much of that power is in its onboard productive forces.

It's a mobile superfactory powered by a reactor many thousands of times more powerful than our entire civilization. And it's crewed by a bunch of emotionally and philosophically mature scientists & engineers. They can make almost anything, and put it almost anywhere.

If you're a prewarp civilization facing some planet-wide apocalyptic threat there's a good chance this little ship showing up could fix all your problems.

e.g. Climate change would be trivial from a technological perspective. Just make a few carbon scrubbers to reduce levels to preindustrial and reactors to power them, plus some reactors to replace our fossil fuel generators and boom, solved.

well spoken, sir.

discovered evidence of water intrusion on the ceiling. looks like it's getting in at the wall above the window. sure enough the shingle siding is obv too old and the wall underneath is in bad shape too.

really didn't need this complication on my already tight budget. hoping homeowners insurance can cover my ass here (lol).

okay so the guy with the rifle was not a would-be shooter?

why are they doing the America 250 years thing a year early? its 1776 not 1775. I legitimately don't understand.

 

what's there to learn beyond just buying existing product?

I'm comfortable tinkering with hardware and software, it would be nice if that meant a drone with fewer backdoors.

 

this is so sad sadness

 

Only done a few lessons and it's much better than the previous app I tried, Mango Languages (it was free through my library). Hello Chinese is much more holistic in its approach, and starts with more simple sentence structure and repition.

 

It took me longer than I'd like to admit to realize it was total bullshit and start to really understand evolution. it also stunted my development of critical thinking skills. I love science and the natural world so much, I still don't know if I can forgive my folks for doing that.

Shoutout to AromRa on YouTube for his creationism/evolution videos.

 

I have a library of movies, TV shows and music for local hosting. Right now I have a script that uses cp to copy newly added media files to a second, identical drive in another room as a backup. there has to be a better way to do this.

ignoring cloud storage and RAID, what are some command line tools that could ensure that the integrity of the files remains intact? assuming the drive continues to function properly.

These are almost exactly the same but it looks like the second has a few small supply sites not present in the first. It would also help to know the strategic value of a city one is considering moving to, as well as that of any rinfrastructure, geographical features, etc.

 

with the right (small-ish usually) dose, set, and setting it really is a mental performance enhancing drug. increased social performance, introspection, novel ideas, even some memory recall.

does this say something about my neurotype?

 

feel like I'm encounterimg tip requests with increasing frequency, but not jazzed about the prospect of adding a 20% charge at every point of sale.

 

It seems to be happening more frequently that I'll be listening to a pod that discusses current events (online & otherwise) and they just utterly fail to describe what the fuck even happened. Like they'll just obliquely reference some event and it's assumed the listener already knows about it and is tuning in for the discussion. maybe they'll actually explain but only after at least few minutes of comments which I have no context for and can't really parse.

maybe I'm noticing this becasuse I'm recovering from terminally online syndrome, maybe they're getting lazier, but It's happened in chapo trap house, wtyp, seeking derangements, possibly even true anon(?). Never citations needed though, they're goated.

If you're a podcaster and you're going to discuss some current event please actually relay what happened (who, what, when, where, why) for your audience before making jokes about it.

idk, maybe this is a neurodivergence thing. and yes I am actually listening.

 

I got a USB midi keyboard (pictured) from a friend but I don't know what software I should use to play it.

I'm running Ubuntu with KDE Plasma and am hoping for software that's simple to setup & use. the keyboard is for simple musical tinkering.

 

I created an account and am signed in on element, what's a good way to get the feel for things?

Any room recommendations?
