Half an hour is “we just broke our SLA” level bad. I guess if your org has been stripped of all its talent that’s the new standard.

Oh my god. What if Skynet was never an accident of AI evolving outside its intended parameters? What if it was a hilariously obvious and preventable apocalypse caused by a tech bro tweeting in the middle of the night while on ketamine?

Little did OP know that while they were watching this strange performance unfold, the other guy was sneaking up behind OP and stole their wallet.

Either it was an accident and wasn’t at fault at all. Or it was a coordinated stunt and Justin owns 50% of it, if other production people weren’t also in on it.

But Janet got shit on because she’s a woman and black and Justin somehow walked away unscathed for decades. Fucked up.

It wasn’t that long ago that the world almost ground to a halt because some people saw Janet Jackson’s breast.

Now we have this, and there will be zero consequences.

You should be able to play a video that’s at 100% even if the torrent isn’t complete.

It could be a codec issue? If you’re using windows there’s a tool called MediaInfo you can install that’ll analyze a video file and tell you if it’s corrupt and what codecs it uses. You might just need to install a codec pack like K-Lite if your system doesn’t already have the codec you need. Or, like an other commenter said, try opening it in VLC which has killer codec support built in.

Elon’s shock and fury about the database key sounds like he got a report from an out-of-breath 20 year old DOGE kid who thinks they’re hot shit and discovered some massive flaw.

Elon also seems like the kind of person that believes a database schema is all that’s needed to govern a population.

Hanged them?

Found them important positions at NASA?

Technical education opens doors, or your child.

Please don’t open my child.

Guess how many bombs the TSA has protected people from.

GoodReads is good for this. They have lots of curated lists and popular top 100 lists you can browse through, and you see the cover and a paragraph synopsis of each book.

Beside each book there’s a button to add it to your Want to Read list. Pick books that sound appealing until you’ve built up a decent list.

Then if you don’t feel like manually sourcing them all one at a time from LibGen or Anna’s, you can set up Readarr to automatically sync your Want to Read list and it’ll auto acquire them. If you’re already using automation apps like Sonarr and Radarr it’s exactly the same thing.

Warnings? We’ll come back and address those later. Maybe once we’re feature complete. Or maybe shortly after that.

I hate the auto fill behaviour but I generally like all the other layout changes.

Honestly, if the fill button were a bit bigger or had fatter padding I think it would be ok. It just seems weird to have to be so careful clicking to activate the most common (by far) action that the whole damn thing is used for.

A full stack developer is either a back end developer that has no business writing front end code but does it anyway, or they’re a front end developer that has no business writing back end code but does it anyway.

Or they’re perfectly capable of doing both because they’re at a startup that’s years away from running at scale or having to worry about performance and security.

Last week, a vendor sold an item for $10. With tax, that item costs $12. Let’s pretend a 50% markup (which is reasonable for retail but insanely high for groceries):

• they made $5 profit
• they recouped $5 for their costs
• they collected $2 of tax for the government

Now the government has a GST holiday and there’s no tax. I went to the store and bought the item and it still cost me $12.

• they made $7 profit
• they recouped their usual $5 for their costs
• they collected $0 of tax for the government

The main thing is that their costs for that item didn’t increase and they’re still selling it at its original ”final” price (because they added the tax amount to the sticker price). That tax savings went straight into profits. It was intended for the consumer to save money but the consumer is spending the same amount and the government isn’t getting anything. That money went somewhere.

Edit: that assumes that the claim made in the post is true. It’s definitely not going to be true across the board, but doubtless there’s some fuckery afoot in some stores.

Explain your math. It’s absolutely 100% benefit to the seller and 0 benefit to the buyer.

Kobo works fantastic.

If you have the ability, set up calibre and calibre-web and you can configure your Kobo to use your ebook library as the “store”.

Kobo also has at least one plugin/mod that replaces the whole reading UI with one with more features. Check out KOReader for that.

Apart from that, though, it makes little difference what ebook you get. If it allows you to load your own ebook files on manually (afaik they all do), you can do whatever you want.

Everything will be fine unless someone shows him an active torrent of The Apprentice and explains he doesn’t get paid residuals if people watch it that way.

I looked into this a while back and gave up.

I didn’t find any (good) models I wouldn’t have to pay for, but some of the paid STL sites had sets available for really reasonable prices, so that wasn’t really a blocker.

But FDM is basically incapable of printing any interesting models. Even if you’re printing good layers, most interesting models aren’t geometrically compatible with how an FDM model prints. You can print with supports, but removing supports from such thin, fragile bits of a model is nigh impossible without doing damage.

I went as far as shopping around for a resin printer, but I didn’t like all the ventilation cautions I read. Adding a printer is one thing, but having a well ventilated area that overlaps with where I’d want a printer was an unsolveable problem in my home.

If you just want to give it a try, grab a model off Thingiverse and see how your printer does. If you can get a piece you’d be happy to proceed with painting, that might be worth a few more iterations to see if it’s workable for your setup.

Better yet, there’s sites that have filters you can set. So you set the wattage filter to 60w and then…. no fucking results. But if you clear the filter, there’s lots of results, because it turns out their entire inventory has a wattage of “n/a”.
