I noticed the other day, that “price” and “growth” have arrows that indicate whether the target is higher or lower.

Sous vide at 170 F for 1 hour, finish with a torch.

I mean he could threaten that, but that’s gonna piss even more people off. I’m not going to look through the whole list but at the top of the alphabet I spotted Bard, Barnard, Carnegie-Mellon, Cornell…

Apparently they don’t. The feds recognize the independent agencies that accredit universities

The Department does not accredit individual educational institutions and/or programs and is not directly involved in the institutional or programmatic accrediting process. The Department recognizes only agencies that apply for recognition; many do not. Along with its recognition decision, the Department designates the scope of accrediting activities to which its recognition pertains.

So how he thinks he can force MSCHE to withdraw their accreditation, I don’t know.

Random field trips for shits and giggles?. Especially impromptu ones. That’s a bad idea. It’s a recipe for “I didn’t wear the right shoes for laser tag”, or “I don’t want to go see that [event/show]”, or “I have a deadline I need to meet, I’m going to be stressed the whole time”

Field trips should be planned, paid, during business hours, and if not related to business function, optional.

A neutral field trip would be: Hey, we are going to a restaurant for lunch Friday. The company is paying. Your lunch break will be extended, but the extension will be paid.

A good field trip is one you can make relevant to the project, that’s a different story. Say you are working on a medieval/fantasy action adventure: go to an arms or art museum and see all the cool swords, spears, and armor. If it’s a farm sim, maybe tour a cider mill or a historical/working farm: learn about the tools and equipment they use, etc.

Something, something, mechanical Turk

Yeah... We had to bring our peppers back inside for hopefully the last time because it dropped down to 40 over the weekend. The tomatoes were in the ground already but a couple cool nights shouldn’t be a big deal in the long run.

Well, if we are counting all the post launch bundles, then the OG Switch definitely had pack-ins too. I bought mine bundled with MK8DX.

But if you want to talk launch pack-ins, the only ones I know had them for certain were the original NES, Game Boy and Wii. The GBP, GBL, GBC, GBA, GCN, all did not launch with pack-ins The DS technically had a Metroid demo and a messaging app. I don’t think the N64 launched with any bundles and SNES looks like it had a launch bundle in North America only. I’m not sure about the 3DS or WiiU, but the NEW 3DS didn’t even come with a charging cable.

So, yeah. It’s very stupid that Welcome Tour isn’t a pack-in, but it is not unprecedented in the least.

Was it because Trump didn’t say “thank you” after the last time Ukraine shared top secret war plans?

 

Over the past few days, I haven’t been able to access fedia.io over my cellular network, but it is fine over WIFI. I don’t know if the problem is on my end or Fedia’s. Its happening on every device and browser I’ve checked on or hotspotting through my phone.

I get a “SSL error”, “can’t securely connect to server”, “HTTP ERROR 408”, or “PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR” depending on the browser.

Someone on that one site fixed a similar issue by updating the site’s DNS IPv6 configuration. I don’t know if that helps.

 

I just went to charge my kitchen scale and it wouldn’t work until I dug out a USB-A -> C cable and plugged it into my desktop…

It just reminded me of how many devices like that I have. This scale, my wife’s sound torc, some car jumperstarters, and I think a one or two more…

I assume it’s because they just slap a usbc port on a dumb 5v circuit that doesn’t have a power negotiation controller. So the cable and the charger cant figure out the power needs of the device are and just never send any.

 

DISCLAIMER: I am in no way advocating for the spreading of a highly contagious and deadly disease or the abstention from safe and highly effective vaccines. But, this is No Stupid Questions, so…

Measles is known for wiping out your immune system memory and re-endangering you to pathogens you had once successfully fought off.

Allergies are when your immune system misidentifies something harmless (like pollen or peanuts) as a harmful pathogen and triggers an immune response.

So, what happens to allergies in people who get measles? Does it wipe out the immune system’s memory of the allergen? Does it expose them to develop new allergies? Do we even know whether it does anything to allergies at all, or has it never been studied? What about other auto immune diseases?

Secondly, if it does do something, is there some way that it can be utilized to help allergy sufferers? Not in the “give people a deadly contagious disease” kind of way (I’ve heard of the tapeworm thing), but is there something there that could studied and developed into a targeted drug or treatment? Or is the mechanism just too broad and dangerous.
