What's more, it's attaching strongly negative feelings to a positive change. As a result, it's driving the wedge down the middle of our society as deep as it can possibly go.

You catch more flies with honey, and you can also use it to heal wounds.

I'm much more worried about the social implications. Namely, the displacement of workers and introduction of new efficiencies to workflows, continuing to benefit only those who are rich and in power, and driving more of us towards poverty.

It's not an immediate existential threat, but it's absolutely a serious issue that we aren't paying enough attention to.

This would be great if I could actually use it in AOSP without Google's own app, and view/reply to RCS conversations on my laptop using a 3rd party application. Open the APIs, Google, or you're just blowing hot air.

To be fair, they aren't journalists. They're a privacy-centric mail provider that is warning their customers.

Slackware. In its early days, fine, it's been around forever. But a modern distribution without dependency handling is just nuts to me.

My big takeaway from this thread is that, wow, people actually use that feature. I use OneNote at work, and I absolutely loathe that if I click a bit too low, I end up outside my note.

Unfortunately, it's not many of us. A lot of folks don't even not buy games that aren't good, if they're heavily marketed.

Yes, everyone who doesn't align with your political view is facist. That in itself doesn't sound facist at all, does it?

We need to not just be careful about what some horrible people are doing right now, but also about what we become as we react to it.

Holy shit, Wisconsin did something right!

I suspect it's going to take a lot more egg shells than that to have too many, but maybe someone else knows for a fact. Just make sure you throw them in a hot oven before you compost them. You want to hold them to at least 160F to kill salmonella. Some places recommend 250F for an hour. I generally have them around 350F for 30-40 minutes.

This accomplishes a few things:

  1. It kills the salmonella
  2. It makes them easier to break into small pieces
  3. It allows them to break down and extract the minerals far more easily in the compost

With how many you're going to be composting, you may want to find a method to really grind them finely, towards a powder. I'd imagine that will allow you to compost more, without reaching some possible negative points like too much aeration to the soil. Though you might lose some benefits, like the pest deterrence, or maybe not since some people just sprinkle egg shell powder on top of the soil and leaves. If you're going to limit how many you compost, you might reserve some powdered egg shells for this purpose.

If you're worried about attracting animals to your compost, rinse the shells before baking.

I got the 21K5001JUS, which has the R7 Pro 7840u, 64GB LPDDR5x 6400, and OLED 2880x1800. Ordered it August 20th, shipped expedited on September 1st, and arrived in the upper Midwest this afternoon, September 5th.

I updated to the latest Windows 11 Pro patches, no Lenovo updates in the Vantage software. My first impressions were:

  1. The fan spins up and gets quite loud when installing Windows updates, but not nearly as loud as my P52s. Substantially louder than my T14s gen 1 AMD. Unfortunately I don't have my T14s gen 3 AMD just yet, I'm not sure of an ETA on that yet.
  2. The OLED scaled to 1.5x really doesn't bother me. I think it's well worth the absence of backlight quality issues, and IPS glow. We'll see once I get into assessing battery life, especially coming from an M1 MBA for personal use.

It feels a little less premium than the T14s gen 1, with a little bit of flex in the lid and wrist rest. But it's crazy how far we've come since my T450s, which is like a workstation by today's size and weight standards.

Running Prime 95 with 8 cores and SMT, the fan can get a good bit louder than I would prefer, and than I would expect the T14s gen 4 will. But running GeekBench on Best Performance profile in Windows, the fan does spin up but is nearly silent.

In my experience of years with Thinkpads, especially the P52s, I expect the fan noise to be much less aggressive in Linux. I'll be assessing that next in Fedora 38, with and without a Windows VM running. Then, before truly assessing if I'm going to keep this or trade it in for a T14s gen 4 AMD with less RAM (opting against the VM workload), I'll do the same in Arch with the latest kernel and such.

Here are my GeekBench scores:

Probably in a gas chamber, the way things are headed.

I'd say at least he only has 7% of the GOP vote, but the alternatives are so much worse. He's pretty much their Biden, at this point. Hell, we don't even know if he believes this garbage. The fact that so many people are beating the drums about things they don't even believe, for the sake of winning over demographics, is truly terrifying.
