Fuck the people downvoting you, we have rules for a reason and you're right I'll fix it. I suspect a swipe error because usually I'm more attentive than that.

Built by and built for it's occupants planned occupants I bet :/

Edit: Its not it's (and autocorrect tried to correct me again)

Bro, the people here, like the people everywhere, ARE stupid.

It's always better to be explicit. I'm one of the stupid people who learned some things reading the comments here and I've got a doctoral degree in aero astro engineering.

Are you sure "handheld meat pies" is not what people from Nebraska call ribs?

I guess yeah you could draw it with straight lines. Not sure why I assumed you wouldnt in retrospect.

That would be a circle

I don't see maple syrup anywhere here...

I was getting country Tom Hanks vibe.

🙄I've never been shot even once as an American.

I practice my quick draw relentlessly so I always shoot first.

I have one specifically that is mostly bursts of 2 or 3 hours of chat between whoever is online in the group and with some worthwhile coordination messages mixed in at random. I don't want to read 80 messages about mortgage rates and VTI stocks to find a couple of lines I'm actually interested in about kid plans for the evening or something I'd actually care to talk about.

Lamb sous vide 4h @ 132F seared over natural lump charcoal in the bottom of a chimney starter. (Start a small chimney of charcoal and put it in the base of big chimney, seared on a cooling rack 1 min 20 sec each side). Served against a mixed green salad with some cherry tomatoes.

A great turnout, except for the part where I stepped on a loose piece of charcoal and melted my sock to my foot... Learned a lesson and said some bad words.

 

Wife gets this Easter leftover, and I'll have meatloaf XD

 
 
 

Today my PC finally ate it. No POST, no disk activity, so I'm pretty sure the mobo has failed. I built this PC 8 or 10 years ago, and I'm honestly too old and out of touch to know where to start on a rebuild lol.

I'm an arch Linux user, my job is in machine learning, and I'm looking at a soup to nuts style rebuild but I don't know where to start. I want as much future proofing as I can get and I'm happy with a budget anywhere from $2k to $8k. I don't game now, but I might want to in the future.

So it seems like to leverage good ML tools I'm locked to cuda, so probably Nvidia GPU. Does that mean 4070 Ti is the knee in the curve? CPU I came from AMD but I have no idea. RAM speed is something I have never ever considered. And mobo wise, I have a couple of M.2 drives now, but I'm not sure what else should drive decisions? 1 monitor currently that I intend to replace, so I'm not sure why I would need multiple GPUs or something that necessitates a lot of PCIe connections.

I want a plain old closed black case, no color changing gamer shit, and about as much computing power as I can get. Pcpartpicker came up a little short, how do I start?

I've got maybe a week of lead time, then I would like to pull the trigger. This whole build process was a lot easier circa 2003!

Body shaving for ladies? (sh.itjust.works)

So I've been wet shaving a long time and I'm pretty handy with a DE razor, a half hollow straight, and a shavette, but I'm at a loss for this one...

My wife is getting laser hair removal for several areas including Brazilian, and there are sone places she just can't shave. Apparently a wax is no good because they are basically destroying the hair root and follicle and it targets the melanin?

So, to the point, my wife took a shower today and did her best, then I took a quick shot with my adjustable DE, but the results were... not so good. I think this may be a shavette problem for control, but I gotta see what I'm doing so a thick soap lather cushion is out. Also there's some delicate contouring obviously which is pretty different from my leathery flat face.

The treatments are kinda pricey so it's important to get a clean shave, and anything she can't do is basically the most important stuff to zap... But I figure the first time I cut her or leave a nick I'm out. I gotta figure out the... uh... Front door back door problems because those are just not flat areas and the risk of failure or accident seems high.

Anybody got experience? Or ideas? Water-based lubricant was pretty decent (the third thing I tried) to help the shave, but tools and materials seem like important choices to make.

Edit: Mods I'd mark NSFW but idk how to do it. This is like my 3rd lemmy post ever.

 

I have been using the Kasa (TP-Link) branded smart switches around my house, but now that I have a few third reality zigbee sensors for my doors and so on, I am seeing the value of using more outlets/switches that act as zigbee repeaters. Do any of you have pretty reasonable (and cheapish) smart light switches or outlets I can invest in? The Amazon offerings are in the $50 each one which is pretty steep, though I guess I could just do one each room and do the rest with Kasa stuff.

I would like to expand the zigbee mesh network so I can use the devices where I actually want them without using smart outlet devices plugged into real outlets all over the place. If there was something that was $20 or less each item that would be super excellent. The wife and I plan to move in the not too distant future and I'd like to replace the "in the wall" stuff so that HA works throughout the house and I don't have plugs / dongles / wall warts all over the place.

Thanks in advance for any insight!

 

Really enjoying nvim-dap-ui lately, but I always have to adjust the sizes of the windows. The docs have left me high and dry so far, but maybe one of you have a good solution for a consistent layout when you first attach to a file?

 

I saw a post of the guy doing NFC to get various disney+ and Netflix shows. I've installed an integration with ADB... and have no idea how to proceed. Any of you have yaml snippets I can steal to that end?

I really want to be able to turn on the lights, turn on the TV, and start cocomelon for my daughter on Netflix in the basement as a one stop script, but I apparently am not smart enough.

The other guy link is in Reddit so I'm not going to link it but it is really easy to find on Google: an NFC card system for Netflix.

Thanks!
