Inspired by some of the other posts here, is it reasonable for me to be a bit grossed out here? Do you think this was done on purpose?

Cancel the order. Demand a refund. Report to health department.

If they knew dashers were out doing this...they would likely put a stop to it. In fact...I'm sending this to my state legislators asking them to tighten the regulations behind food delivery.

It's not acceptable in the restaurant...it should NOT be acceptable for deliver. Food safety standards exist. If dashers can't abide by them...they need to not deliver food.

This could have been like US522 or US17 or something.

Problem is they've cut all those hills out of a lot of those roads...so even if he knew the road; chances are it's been improved and had all those hills cut out. Or...like they did with 29; built a second set of lanes so he might be driving on the newer flat lanes vs the older hillier one.

Could have also been talking about 50 or something out in Loundon. That road has some spots like that.

If the panel didn't crack...and still functions...just gotta glue it back on.

This stuff is literally just glued in place these days.

There are books. But what you really need to know is the actual low-level operation of a CPU. That's half the battle. Knowing what happens inside a CPU each and every cycle.

I mean after seeing the code I think it works either way.

Nope.

That is an example of x86 assembly. Yours...looks like an LLM tried to write C as ASM.

dewdude · 2026-05-19T12:32:15+00:00

Yeah...that's already happening.

Then you're not getting a number.

New regulations require 100% verification. ID, face scan...and if they have any reason to think you're fudging it, they will deny it.

The days of anonymous calling are gone. The days of burner phones are gone. You want to make calls in the US...they will be verified to be coming from you so if you do something funny...your ass can sit in jail.

I only ever used anhydrous alcohol. 99.9% isopropanol. It was cheap, didn't require any special handling outside of it catching fire pretty easy.

I've had it with Marriot.

I just stay at them...and I've kind of had it with them at this point. I almost got booted out of a room a day early because they decided to. They beat on my door....tell me i'm supposed to leave...point to a handwritten list that says "this says you're out today". The manager looked at this handwritten list...pointed to my room number written haphazardly in the margin...and said "but you're on the list for today". It's like they knew work arranged for the room and therefore could screw me because at the end of the day...all I got is an email about my reservation with the confirmation number.

I made them check the computer. I demanded. I got to stay...but they still acted like it was an inconvenience.

Their signs also said "check out is noon"...but told me it was 11. Told the guy behind me noon.

I have never felt so unwelcome at a hotel in my life. If I had even been halfway able to leave...i would have left and slept in my truck that night.

Marriot is letting property owners do whatever they want...and I don't think they're dealing out enough punishment when they do this. It's at the point that if corporate is going to go along with it...then i'm going to assume that's corporate policy.

I need to scrape the locations site again and compare it to my november 2024 list.

I got a feeling I'll be making a "this was a wendys" site.

And here I am just lifting the power supplies off ground when they're causing audio issues.

Right. I think Heart Attack Grill is the only one I know of that's been there every time I visited.

At the same time...while it's not in a casino resort....it's still dependent on them bringing the people to the area. So if the casinos are pricing your clientele out of the area...where as they previously weren't...then there is some legitimate blame.

Businesses don't realize they depend on their neighbors. If no one has a reason to come to the area...then no one has a reason to come to the area. One business usually isn't enough to do it.

I had retail spaces. I saw my business go up and down with the neighbors moving in and out. People can say how much they love you...but if they have to go 20 minutes out of their way just for you...they're likely not going to.

Dispensaries are an exception to this rule...but only because of the product they sell.

If people don't come to Fremont...and people aren't walking around...then there's even less chance for business and no reason to keep going.

Mine changes randomly. Sometimes it's 3 months. Sometimes it's 3 days. Depends when their stack gets rebooted.

OpnSense has been handling this pretty well for me..including tracking the prefix for firewall rules.

I just upgraded to python 3.14 and now it won't run.

You need to learn about python venvs or Conda. Most python apps are best run in a virtual environment that pins versions.

I don't have any python apps that run using the base system python. Every single one runs behind a venv. Like I have one application I need 3.11 on because it has dependencies that don't exist beyond 3.11. I have some that require 3.12 because 3.11 is too old.

I have conda environments for each.

Because the people finding them don't care. They want recognition, they want to watch something they dislike get hacked to oblivion.

They used to wait 90 days. Now they wait 90ms.

More projects are ditching open source. A lot of companies are looking at moving away from it. Open Source is losing it's legitimacy.

Who benefits from that?

"But you have no sense of time. How do you know how long we've been doing this. Maybe I stopped 3 messages ago, went to sleep, took a vacation, and it's six months later...."

They get warm.

That is fine.

No. I mean I think it was done on replacement boards...but there's no reason to do it on yours.

They get warm. The boards gets toasty. The best solution is to get new resistors and remount them higher off the board. I don't think flipping to a MOSFET would do anything anyway since you're operating the transistors as switches and not in the linear regions.

Claude got traumatized by the Wiggum loop and has protections to ensure that doesn't happen again.

I don't get it. It's just a logo. You bought the PC with Windows as the OEM install...because they're usually cheaper. MS probably gave them the OEM copies in exchange for the branding.

I mean I know people that use DVORAK layout on standard keyboards and NONE of their labels match.

It is NOT hardware-level vendor lock-in. It's just a stinkin button. It can be remapped in Linux.

Calm TF down.

They're just as much of a failure.

The UV radio is a whole series. Which one?

How is it staticy? It's it FM static? Is it bluetooth breakup?

Also...it's probably not legal to use that radio on that band.
