They should move to China

That's what I'm thinking, been on pretty much straight Google since my Samsung Galaxy Nexus, moto g 2013 Google edition, then all pixels, but I've got / love my MacBook Pro and having an iPhone would probably complement that a bit.

I literally did it for a little packet from iron butt saying I'm officially one of those idiots :)

The monotony of staring at the road was getting to me at the end as well. Combined with me getting home in the middle of the night didn't help things.

I didn't have my heated grips then but did have a throttle lock. I primarily learned throttle locks suck, and I now have no lock but heated grips :)

October 2016, 1093 miles in around 18h on a 2006 Honda ST 1300

No desire to repeat that, it was pretty miserable.

I combined this into a work trip, The direct route was about 700 miles and it went great, I based this "it went great" I decided to extend the trip home to get my saddle sore 1000 (iron butt). The trip up was my dry run / test trip.

The key factor that made the return trip worse was the weather. It rained for the first few hours, and was about 10°f cooler the combination of these had me uncomfortably cold for a large portion of the ride. I had a two piece gortex suit so I stayed dry but the overcast and temperature was just cool enough to really impact the trip.

I still have the bike, it has about 55k miles on it now and I try to commute on it whenever the weather permits!!

The shop is not mine but luckily I do have access for this work. I'm actually there getting some soft spots fixed. This boat had what was left of a polyglow install all over the hull, it looked terrible. I've also sanded that off, but will now have to sand, sand, sand, buff to get it looking good again. Or at least decent again. The soft spots were there when I bought it last year. So I knew what was needed .

Just lucky the guy fixing it, who's in our sailing club has this space to use!

I doubt I'll do anything big with this boat but hoping to be on my forever boat in 4-5y to start cruising.

I'd guess yes he would

Not sure what lake but the PO of my boat bought it from Wisconsin

Beneteau First 265, which is currently about to get some barrier epoxy coats put on this weekend, followed by fresh bottom paint for next season. Boat now sails in Indiana!

Sanding down to the gel coat has been no fun!!

Right, power 10h a day is better than power 0h a day

[–] dmtalon@infosec.pub 3 points 2 weeks ago

I too have seen that during extensive research

Additional information from my own research. The sky is blue

"The same decline appears outside the United States. Horvath told senators that across roughly 80 countries, academic performance drops after digital technology becomes widely embedded in classrooms. The timing alone raises serious questions about how learning environments affect cognitive development."

Doesn't say which 80 but 80 should be a broad swath

 

Who's playing? Bought it last Sunday and have been playing it quite a bit since.

 

There's this...

 

Outside of Cincinnati and noticed I had no service around 11am. Started checking around ant it seems it's pretty widespread.

Sunset (infosec.pub)

Unexpected huge sunset while driving home tonight.

The sun didn't look real in person!

 

Anyone here have a new 9? I wanted to listen to some music on my Pixel Buds Pro 1s and noticed the volume was quite low.

Looked around at various settings, but nothing weird. Swapping to my 8 and I get normal volume. Switching back, low again.

 

So, I never visit McDonald's. Oddly, I have managed to visit them twice this year. Once a month ago while traveling and it just worked out that it made the most sense when we stopped for fuel while traveling.

And second last night. We were at the lake late and coming home just before 9pm. Most non chain places were closing, and the only local spot open was McDonald's. Had the whole family including my visiting parents.

The experience was pretty awful. First, they had 3 employees in the building, and the expectation was that you use the Kiosk. I didn't have 'strong' opinions of having to use it vs. speaking to a human. However after ordering 4 meals on it, it is quite the nightmare for the casual visitor. Probably took 4x as long to order our food.

My parents took their order on a second Kiosk and were not even able to complete their order (Parents are in their mid 70s). Not sure what happened, I wasn't watching them. My dad was quite irritated at this point.

After asking one of the humans multiple times for help, he took their order at the register.

<insert 30 minute wait for food>

Our food was placed in their pickup area in bags with napkins (store napkin holder empty). Nearly every burger was overcooked and quite dry. Both my buns were hard. The fry's were luke warm and not very fresh. The meal for 2 adults and 2 14yos was $40 bux.

I saw a story on Lemmy last week about how McDonald's profits were down and the general consensus was that it was the over priced food. While I'm sure that has an impact I believe the Kiosk, slow 'fast food' and overall experience has to be a huge negative.

My parents were PISSED, and they are historically huge McD Patrons. At least in their case, the price will not be why they do not return. Its the awful experience.

 

That was a joke, way to switch to college basketball in the middle of our game

 

Just got this email from Haier (US) who seems to be distancing themselves from the EU division's decision to block Home Assistance.

Hello , (I changed this)

Thank you for reaching out with your concern.

The Haier brand in the U.S. is independent of Haier Europe and operates separately. hOn is the connected IOT platform for Haier Europe. In the U.S., consumers can use our open IOT platform, SmartHQ. SmartHQ does not prevent integrations with Home Assistant.

We appreciate you reaching out.

Kindest regards,

Digital Engagement Team Haier Appliances

 

Noticed when we got home last night our outside lights were not on, but we have an automation to turn them on if we're gone after dark. Meant to check why, but forgot.

Logged into the companion app this morning to manually toggle a switch and saw Life360 integration was not connected and "requires reconfiguration"

reentering my password and trying to log in is not working. I tried removing and re-adding the integration but the problem remains. Now I cannot re-add the integration as it will not sign in.

Anyone else experiencing this?

 

We seemed a bit quick to want to start fights tonight. I believe while the ref was a bit quick to yellow card a couple of our players, others got lucky.

Moreno could have easily been carded early on. Badji could have gotten a red for his punch.

Otherwise a great game for us, but I hope those yellows don't come back and bite us.

 

Was hoping this would sort itself out, but after a couple weeks it's still there. Scrolling not always smooth, and swiping back from a post is always very studdery.

Wondering if others are experiencing this? Phone is 2 weeks old, came from a Pixel 7 Pro which didn't have this problem.
