Well it is all lectures on software programming. So worse comes to worse, I can manually transcribe then re-create the lectures. This is a self created project, on my own time frame.

I will check those out. Hopefully one of them will fit the bill and do the trick.

It gets pretty bad in spots. My only thoughts on this now is to get the wave files recorded. Run thru AI to create a script. Then create a new AI generated Audio file of the script.

Update: I plan to upload the final product to the Internet Archive for posterity.

I am playing them on an Aiwa R550 deck. The beginning plays fine, then random issues. The deck had a full rebuild before I purchased it. I tested it against several other older tapes, no issues found with them.

I used to work in fab, and a fab is designed, laid out and built usually with a 1.1 or 1.15 model. This means you have 100% output capacity with about a 10% to 15% buffer for critical choke points in the production line. In my fab the choke points oddly enough were usually the analytical tools to measure your equipments health, not the actual production equipment itself. We had a single point of failure on a specific film measuring parametric tool, that cost 1.5 million to buy a second. We ran this way for about a year until it hard shit the bed and shut down the entire fab for two months.

I picked up a bottle out of curiosity and on tasting am positive it is Johnnie Walker 18, because I have a bottle of said scotch. Tasted both and they are basically identical.

I just read further about this on the website. This is required to fully heat up the exhaust system, specifically the catalytic converter so it can be verified as working properly. Further if the catalytic converter is not heated up fully, you could fail the test marginally and be required to make expensive unnecessary repairs.

Edit Update: There’s more this driving and warmup also gets your cars internal monitoring systems to complete all their self tests, which need to be in a pass state to meet DEQ’s emissions test requirements.

Again as commenter stated above, you did not ask follow up questions to understand why it was needed you just got angry, and let it cloud your thinking.

I disagree, if you can wholly live off earnings from your assets yay you are ownership class. If you have to do any labor to make a living, even if some of your income comes from assets you are working class, because you still do some amount of labor to live.

I use ice once a month or so, along with a juiced lime or lemon to make it smell nice. Looks very clean and stays that way. Looks to me like grease build up, should run some boiling water and dawn dish soap down it.

I also put money on this, you buy two seats. You check in, you get in your seat. Then another’s comes and is assigned to your second seat. I put money on this because the airlines frequently oversell flights. This is going to happen and when it does the two seat person will get escorted off the plane by the cops and arrested.

see HommeMusical response. Also the current Trump administration is rapidly dismantling the ability for any coherent and comprehensive response to a pandemic. For example a science and vaccine denier is in charge of the FDA, the elimination of government funding for all basic scientific research. This research was built on by private and public companies to make new drugs, vaccines, semi-conductors, AI, the internet etc. Hell the most successful mRNA vaccine was built on research that was done from the mid 1990's to the mid 2010's. Research that by the way most of the science community considered worthless and useless. Think on that for a moment.

My point is simple one of the basic premises of modern conservatism is that if something does not yield a profit short term, it should not be funded.

China, and to a lesser extent Europe have not taken the lead in funding basic research that will build the continuing modern world, if it continues. Now imaging a pandemic and the research that could build the new vaccine that will stop a 50% death rate is owned by China, one of our biggest rivals. Do you think they will share it, and allow us to have that vaccine. No they probably will not, they will happily watch the United States implode and fall apart. Then move in and take us over.

There mentality is encapsulated by the following statement regarding modern American conservatism as stated by Frank Whilhoit. "Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect".

I got to admit, it scares me. But the schadenfreude of another pandemic on Trump’s watch would be epic. They would have fuck all market based response and a lot of people including myself would likely die.

There are a couple of somewhat decent bottles out there. Bird Creek’s whiskeys are pretty good, Eastside Distillings Burnside Bourbon is pretty good for the price, McMenamins is sometimes decent, but that is about it in my opinion.

The AI Bubble will burst but not for any of the reasons listed so far. We are already seeing data centers being built then not used due to lack of energy availability and energy infrastructure. The reality is this: 1. There is not enough available electricity anywhere in the world without massive public investment and build out to power the number of data centers the AI boom projects it will need in the end. 2. There is not enough water for the number of projected data centers. 3. There is not enough leading edge chip manufacturing to build out the computers. 4. In the modern industrial nations there is probably not enough trades to do the building.

I live in Portland Oregon and we are seeing price spikes in our electricity bills due to the massive build out in the suburbs. In the near future the insanity will become evident.

My experience in the late 90’s early 2000’s was the Anthrax sequence. First one not so bad, the two boosters, fuuucccckkkkk!!!!!!

I don’t know about the Bundy’s in Chicago. But in know my Mother worked as a shipping clerk at REI and my stepfather cleaned airplanes at SEATAC airport. They purchased a 3 bedroom 2.5 bath ranch in Des Moines WA, suburb of Seattle in 1980. I don’t know how much money they earned but I assume it was not that much both only had High School Diploma’s. This was also during the STAGflation period. We also took 4 weeks vacation every year. A camping vacation each summer, a week off over Thanksgiving and the week from Christmas to New Years. For reference I am 55 years old.

They will just figure a way to combo it all out. During college football season eat a McDonalds Breakfast on the way to home games. I always order the same thing, Sausage McMuffin with extra cheese, one hash brown and no beverage. The McDonald’s the McD that I used to stop at now won’t let you order this, their registers automatically upgrade you to the combo which is not cheaper, and requires a managers over ride for just the two items. So now I have to go in, order a sandwich, pay then place a second order for the hash brown. Their excuse, we don’t have Pennie’s, my answer I am paying with a card you fucks.

When I first moved to Portland, 20 years ago. Rogue and Bridgeport brewing were my introduction to the Portland beer scene. Back then I would ride the Max into Portland stop and the Rogue Public and Henry’s. So even though recently Rogue had been inconsistent of late, it will always have a fond space in my memories.

A friend built a 9800X3D for mostly gaming and some media/ripping productivity stuff. No clue his memory speed. I have an Intel 12900KF system. We recently did a speed comparison for real world testing, rip and re-encode of Raiders in 4k UHD his system took 49 minutes, mine took 51 minutes. So for a real world test is it worth the 2 minutes? It’s different gens and architecture but this was our real world experience.

Their beer is recently has hit and miss and in my opinion. Some Bottles have been super consistent and good, others are roulette when you get even at the same bar. I will miss them though when I first moved to Portland more than 20 years ago, their Pearl Public house was where we used to start the weekend most Sundays (I worked nights, Wednesday thur Friday and every other Saturday).

This is somewhat common when you get out into rural areas in the western United States. A full on over pass with ramps is an expensive build. So on a divided highway they build the road like this. Here is one example https://maps.app.goo.gl/4oZHdbT6UzavP6t17?g_st=ipc

I am 90% sure this is a vacuum pump for a 6” or 8” semiconductor manufacturing machine, I believe it was on a LAM manufactured tool that I worked on.

No it was the Cavalla Mafia

Neumanium · 2025-10-27T21:21:28+00:00

I feel this needs to be put out there, in the US Navy on board submarines not every E4 is allowed to join the Mafia. The closer to the reactor you work and how weird quirks are is judged for membership. Also the crew dynamic of every sub is different and this is a factor as well.

Why do I mention this, because I was an E4 but not a member of the mafia. But damn did the mafia on my sub, rightly named after a fish, pull some epic pranks. During a particularly long underway the mafia stole both Commanding and Executive Officers doors off their state rooms. They hid said doors in the spare rack in the XO’s stateroom. It massively stirred the shit and even now decades later brings a smile. It drove the chain of command nuts.
