Unemployed people are not a negative on society. People don't have to be employed. That's a capitalist misconception.

Assholes are a negative on society. They actively reduce the experience for everyone else. Even productive assholes are a negative on society.

Thou doth protest too much. You know you'd clap those little furry bunny cheeks.

Exactly. So it's great for xfinity

This is still tied to specific strains. I was really hoping that we were getting closer to completing the generic one.

Still, yay progress.

~deep~ red states

At least the base is flared.

Overmorrow. No more of this "the day after tomorrow" nonsense.

And by extension, words like overWednesday, for the second Wednesday from now. Or overweek and overmonth.

I used docsis 3.0 and it worked just fine. So why not?

I hunger for righteousness. Fill me up, daddy.

See, I dunno about that one. I have a very strange and almost primal urge to feed kids. I think it's generic programming.

There's a difference between "I'm very curious" and "I literally can't move my attention from this thing, even if I want to, to the point that I will forget to eat or sleep or bathe"

I'm looking at a pug right now. Uhhhhh.....

It works if you know the traits you're trying to optimize for and don't care about the mistakes. We don't know that for humans, and we do care.

I think you're mistaking science for psychopathy. Proper science would recognize that humans are social creatures and therefore our actions have impact across society, and we need to take that into account.

Also, try and breed two very smart people. You rarely get a stable smarter person.

 

I feel like I'm missing something with this card. I currently use a 2% cash back card, so 3% seems like a simple upgrade. I pay my card off every month without fail, and have for years. This card would use my house as collateral, which poses additional risk if I default.

Has anyone else looked into this or gotten one? Is there some catch I'm missing? I can't figure out how they're making money on this.

 

I have a Precision 3260 Compact (https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/workstations-isv-certified/precision-3260-compact-workstation/spd/precision-3260-workstation/s106dpt3260us_vp) with no standalone GPU. I also have an aging gaming desktop with a GTX 1070 and an i5 inside. I am trying to figure out a way to get the 1070 to work inside the Precision and it's driving me nuts.

The Precision doesn't have a standard micro-ATX motherboard, so I can't simply mount it in my larger case. Even if I could, the pcie slot is much shorter than the standard. On top of that, the GPU is longer than the entire case.

I'm willing to get creative, but I'm out of ideas.

 

Our town's water keeps failing to meet DEP standards, so I'm investing in a filtration system for our drinking water. What I think I'm looking for is:

  • Has a tank, since there are 5 of us
  • Filters out lead, PFAS, PFOA, etc. (Which is why I'm leaning towards RO)
  • Good warranty and customer service, for when something inevitably goes wrong
  • Remineralization (picky about water taste)
  • UV (maybe?)

Does anyone have recommendations for a quality brand, or one that they've had for years that they like? I'm not sure where to even start.

I bought a house a few months ago and I'm still trying to figure out all the wiring. I found these coming out of a cabinet in the kitchen.

I think (?) the black one is a cut-off coax cable. There's a LOT of coax in this house, so that seems straightforward (but I would still love if someone can confirm!)

I'm not sure about the other ones. They don't look electric, as I'd expect electric to be black + white + copper, like the rest of the house.

There is supposedly a speaker system in the house (I see speakers) but I haven't figured it out yet. Could that be power for the speakers? I'm not familiar with speaker wire setup. If it's speakers, why would there be so many wires?

 

I'm looking for an inexpensive label maker that can print small labels. I need to label various things around my house for my sanity (outlet/breaker mapping, coax endpoint mapping, etc).

I was going to buy a NIIMBOT D110, but then I saw in their FAQ that they put an IC (chip) into their labels and the printer won't print if it can't sense it. I really don't want to support a company that DRMs their consumables, if I can help it.

Can anyone recommend a good, small, inexpensive label maker? Preferably one that doesn't have sketchy DRM embedded.

 

I was reading about how the EU is thinking of reducing the lead used in ammunition because it's polluting the environment. I wonder if regular lead exposure at the firing range is addling people's brains.
