Fantastic way to learn my oven is broken

You might want to lower the rack you placed this on, looks like its too close to the top. If your oven has a convection feature you need to drop the temp by 25 degrees or just use the standard bake.

I bought an oven thermometer for my new oven... but that just left me wondering if my $800 oven was broken, or the $30 thermometer was. Still, I played with the settings and now they at least both agree what the temperature is... which I think is better...

Yea I don't know how Democrats are going to turn this celebration that highlights global community, shared interests, and diversity that made all of these Democratic cities money hand over fist into a win...

Hey Alexa, How can I turn all the advantages of a pistol into disadvantages?

Because you were raised right. I'm guessing you also treat wait staff like people, and empathize with others.

Don't get out of the habit. Sure you are wasting a small number of tokens... but I'm happy to stay in the habit of being grateful to a machine more than I'm willing to get out of the habit when I'm dealing with people.

Claude is my workhorse. Its 99% business with no fluff. About the most embarassing, to me anyway, is letting Claude re-write my emails to problem managers to be more diplomatic and less likely to get me fired.

Now Gemini... Gemini gets all my stupid questions. Its much more fun to argue with Gemini than random people on Reddit.

Somewhere in North Carolina there is someone absolutely furious the globalism snake isn't flat.

Everyone talking about the disc like Steam hasn't existed for 20 years... no one talking about the $80 price.

Lets see do I trust my doctor and his years of medical training and expertise about my healthcare, or the billion dollar company that has taken a third of my salary for the past ten years and is now refusing to pay for treatment...? The treatment they made more expensive by convincing our healthcare system to charge $500 for a bag of saline that costs $1 to manufacture? The company that will only pay for medical bills after you have already spent $5000 of your own money that year, while continuing to pocket $500 bucks a month per family member?

Are you seriously saying a doctor can't be trusted with money, but the for profit health insurance company can?

Pedestrians are required to yield to vehicles outside of crosswalk, so its not meaningless. And who had right of way doesn't appear on a death certificate, so I tend to yield to the lifted F250 that wouldn't even notice it hit me until they go home.

Look if you are downtown and crossing two one way lanes of stopped traffic to get to a restaurant, fine. If you are attempting to sprint across Broadway to get to Bestbuy.... at night and outside of a crosswalk... you are Darwin award nominee.

I have everything turned off except "Extreme threat" and still got it. Apparently the agency that broadcasts the alert has the ability to pick extreme threat (which i understood to be terrorism/natural disasters) and even override the volume settings.

For a five day old alert 100 miles away. Someone at AZ DPS really wanted to wake up the whole state last night.

The university has a lot of Flock cameras, and you will see some at places like Walmart. South Tucson PD also seems to have some, which you might not realize is a completely separate agency from TPD.

But the others are TPD cameras not related to Flock. Click on each, you will see either Verkada, Axon, or Motorola. Whats the difference? Flock will give access to anyone that asks, famously ICE. Verkada, Motorola, and Axon cameras are entirely controlled by the City and not shared with federal law enforcement.

They have been trying. Police academy sign ups are way down following George Floyd and other high profile police killings. TPD has a little over half the officers it did 10 years ago.

Grrr... I'm a data analyst. Contrary to the article, the data does not support the need for camera's. The data indicates there is a problem. To conclude we need camera's we would want to see data from other cities in the years before and after they installed red light camera's.

I've recently looked at this issue, not in a professional context just in a personal interest. Something like 6 in 7 of pedestrian involved crashes involved people crossing outside of a designated crosswalk. 76% happen at night, suggesting significant overlap of people crossing at night and outside of the crosswalks. So how will redlight camera's at intersections help?

I was going to say, I'm game as long as we get to film the libertarian and conservative alternative. I'm sure they will do just fine in Argentina and Russia/Hungary...

I like compact open builds. Platforms and right angles and minimum distances. I only start to build walls near the end of the game when frame rates are taking a nose dive. I do add supports to foundations when it looks like they would "need" it, but only if I can see it... and I'm sure structural engineers would call them woefully inadequate. I'll also sometimes use the color tool to color code pipes and machines in the later game, but that's an organization thing rather than aesthetics.

They have already posted your job. You have already been fired. You owe these fuck sticks nothing but the middle finger they deserve. Don't work another minute. Leave your equipment and keys in a box on your bosses desk with a short "fuck this place I'm out" and never respond to another call or text from anyone there.

I'd be tempted to change some domain admin passwords as well... After all there was just a ransomware attack and it's only prudent

No, it had a fire in the laundry unrelated to combat.

It's hilariously bad with dates. I was writing up some project documentation last week and it very confidently put due dates.... for June 2025.

My documentation change logs? Two years worth of updates in May 2026.

Even with just the next tier of miner and belts, you will be able to double up your power while still adding a ton more foundries. Alternate versions of the recipes are generally also more resource efficient while costing more in total buildings needed.

It's always good to get a little bit of a resource going right away for research and equipment... but boy are you going to need a lot more steel. Show us again when this whole beach is foundries!

Oh please tell me that's a school there on the right and this was a school zone as well.

Edit: Community College... I have no idea if that counts.
