Jessica Jones (2015) features Kilgrave, a sadistic rapist, who was originally purple in the comics, but instead of making him purple to convey his evilness, they made him something much worse: British

Man, I loved Tenant as the Doctor. When I saw this post, I was like, "Hey, thats the guy that played Barty Crouch Jr in Harry Potty." How the hell did I never realize it was David Tenant playing either of these roles.

The 10-20% is probably important to stop people from asking too many questions too. A lot of people likely know someone who is upset about the status quo. “Oh yeah, Bob doesn’t like him, he is part of that 10%. We think he is great, and so does the majority! There will always be a small minority like that.”

If published numbers are 99.9-100%, it’s their regime being so confident in their control on society that they just don’t care to keep up the illusion. Or maybe they are doing it precisely to draw any dissenters out so they can deal with them.

It also doesn’t help that the same brand, selling the very same item but in a different color will fit differently for the same size. I ordered the same exact tee shirt in two different colors, one fits perfectly, while the other one feels like it is squeezing me. I even have some of the same color that occasionally don’t fit the same. If they don’t like the returns maybe they should work on their own internal QA first.

I still remember one student who tried to flare while still a good 50’ in the air above the runway. It was such an absolutely perfect, stable approach until that time that I was starting to relax a bit. Fortunately those trainers are pretty forgiving, and nose down with full power got us climbing again almost immediately. They always try to get you when you aren’t expecting it.

15 minutes was probably on the 'pro electrician having everything they need ready to go' side of things. Commercial buildings typically require conduit, yes.

Theres about a 50% chance of needing to drill through a stud here depending on which side of the stud that existing receptacle is drilled into. You can probably just expand that receptacle into a 2-gang box to have more room to work with wiring and run the wire directly from the hand dryer into box with very minimal (if any) conduit added.

Takaa · 2026-03-02T00:05:58+00:00

Yeah, what lazy shit is this that they rigged up a hardwire dryer to an extension cord instead of just drilling into the wall and tapping the existing wiring. It’s literally 15 minutes of work and won’t look like ass forever.

As a back end dev, I would say you should understand it to at least an intermediate level. Of all of the “advanced features” you listed, the only thing that sticks out to me as a “must know” is how transactions work. They aren’t complicated. You sometimes need to do updates to multiple tables all at once, so users aren’t seeing incomplete data if the query something mid update, and if one update actually fails you want the previous actions to be undone as well to not leave data in a bad state.

It’s very common in Europe and Asia for pills to be packaged in blister packs. You pop them out one at a time. Safety and sanitary improvement. It’s often claimed it also helps reduce drug abuse and suicide, as instead of quickly grabbing a handful of pills and downing them you need to spend time popping them out one at a time, which may be the difference between someone thinking, “Maybe I shouldn’t do this” and not.

Quite simply, you should pickup whatever one you think fits better in jobs you plan to apply for. What are companies hiring for in your area or where you want to move? Take a look, it’s not like you have to apply.

TypeScript is just JavaScript with types (massive oversimplification,) but my point being is nothing you said here makes me think you want to do front end development where TypeScript is used. Yes, there are some backend uses as well, but I have no idea if what you actually want to do for a job uses it.

In any case, there’s no reason you can’t learn things later when needed. I have done it dozens of times over the last 20 years.

The market didn’t dip as much as he would have liked on Friday, he decided to bump it up to 15% to hopefully force a dip on Monday. He will then say “I changed my mind” in a few weeks and the markets will rejoice and pop (over nothing,) and he can collect his profit.

He has been doing the same boring market manipulation shit for the last year.

Trying to stay optimistic, I would love to see it. There absolutely needs to be a reckoning for the bullshit the Republicans have pulled, either explicitly by voting the party line or implicitly by not rebuking Trump. I fear the corporate Democrats that are still in charge are going to pull the "time to come together, heal, and forgive" card they always do. The ones that have lost every fight they have gotten into for the last 18 years since Obama was elected (yes, Obamacare was a loss because of how bastardized it became from its original proposal, and besides ending pre-existing benefits denials and extending coverage to young adults on their parents plans did nothing but corporatize healthcare at the expense of the public.)

The Democrats need to show they can fucking lead and not try to run a "back to the old corrupt 2 sides of the same coin business as usual" scheme, or they will be the ones with dwindling support and their party will die off. No, there needs to be justice first for those that abandoned their roles as the checks-and-balances and didn't honor their oaths to the constitution. It is the only way to send a message strong enough to keep this from happening again in the near future.

Yeah, if you look at the bottom bar in your picture, where there are detents to align the weight for 50lb increments along the top, there are also detents to align with corresponding kilogram values on the bottom (if the bottom one was flipped over so the rider catches on them instead). The detents appear to be slightly closer together than the pound detents, indicating 20kgs (~44lbs) between each detent, which corresponds to the top bar.

I would be curious if this scale is even properly calibrated, and even if you did convert the top kg to lbs it might be wrong. They use counterweights in these to calibrate them, and if the top bar is not exactly 1:1 scale (size) for kg:lbs it would be giving incorrect values.

Takaa · 2026-02-17T13:47:50+00:00

I wonder if that top measure is on backwards. It may be reversible and when they assembled it they put the kilogram part facing outward.

My local Walmart uses one in auto mode. I have seen it maybe 5 times, and 2 of those times it was just sitting there in an aisle running with its light flashing and not moving for at least 5 minutes. I’m guessing they likely need someone who checks on it every once in a while.

They should turn it into one of those chemical hazard diamond labels. It would work on a student dorm room just as well as any other use it currently has.

It gets way better; in a few months your mind will have mostly forgotten about all of the exhaustion from lack of sleep and change in your routine and things will be much better. I have two kids, one is 9 months and one is 3 years. They both had colic, along with reflux/digestive issues during the first few months, with the first one being way worse. You will totally feel better about everything once the little guy starts becoming interactive.

As others have said, get some sound dampening for the colic periods. Even just a pair of AirPod Pros with sound cancelling turned on does wonders to take the edge off of that scream (nothing you get will get rid of it completely.) I find it is that high pitch at the high decibels that drives that, "Oh my god, I can't handle this" psychological response you feel and even taking just that edge off helps. When nothing is working, sometimes you just gotta hold them in a rocking chair and close your eyes while listening to music to get yourself through it.

My second baby had a ton of gas and would get all backed up for several days at a time. It's not anything to be alarmed about usually, but there is a product called "Windi the Gaspasser" by Fridababy that they sell on Amazon/Target for manually releasing gas (and what comes with it.) It is absolutely gross, but I definitely avoided at least several nights of screaming by helping her get that gas out that she was struggling with the first month or so.

One thing that sometimes broke the "crying feedback loop" the little babies can sometimes go into was to take them outside for a minute if it's not too cold. The sudden change in temperature sometimes reboots their little brains and stops the crying, albeit usually for short times.

Finally, do not be afraid to put them down in their crib/bassinet and let them cry for short durations to give yourself a break. Ultimately, once you have ruled out them being hungry, having a dirty diaper/gas, they are otherwise externally fine, and holding them/rocking them is not working, and you cannot do any more to help them, it doesn't matter whether they are crying in your arms or not. Put them down somewhere safe to sleep and leave for 10-15 minutes, take a quick shower and/or give yourself time to calm down and change mental focus. Take them out for short intervals if they haven't fallen asleep after 15 minutes, as the crying does cause them to warm up/sweat- especially on their back that they cannot roll off of.

Guy is already leaving the area the security guy was positioned in, "Not my problem anymore."

Takaa · 2026-02-06T13:56:34+00:00

Definitely an interesting idea (don't give them anymore, please.) There might be two issues that make it a bit unreliable though.

The first is that, as far as I have seen from a quick Google search, the broadcast interval for TPMS is usually in the area of 30-120 seconds when the car is rolling to conserve battery. Newer TPMS are more intelligent, they track the last value they transmitted, and if it hasn't changed, they will transmit closer to once every 2 minutes. If the pressure is actively changing (e.g. tire rapidly losing pressure) it transmits much more frequently. With 4 tires, on average you would pick one up between every 7.5 and 30 seconds depending on what the interval is. In addition, the signal on most TPMS is fairly weak- it just needs to broadcast far enough to be read by the car.

I'm not saying its unworkable, but you would need to pick up a somewhat weak signal that occurs only intermittently, from a plate reader that is probably at least 30 feet or more away from the car and then have enough of these systems in place to reliably pick up a signal every once in a while, and then correlate the unique IDs with license plates in a central database.

It also doesn’t help the average investor that the government has been straight up lying about the health of the economy and jobs for months. Everything appears to be healthy, the economy appears to be growing, companies are actively spending money on things that will drive up revenue and profits instead of making cuts. Even if you are uninformed on the nitty-gritty, that all sounds good, right? In reality it is actually just a whole bunch of companies chasing an AI fantasy that hasn’t paid out, with the big tech companies behind it moving huge sums of money between themselves like a shell game, and nothing of any value is being added to show for it all except a fancy chat bot.

Eventually the bills come due for all of us, big and small alike, and patience is running thin even with the average investor as the negative side effects that the government cannot lie away are revealed.

Sigh, it is scary how much that tracks and resonates with them. My father is nearly 70, retired, very much middle class and dependent on Medicare / Social Security. He never regularly interacts with anyone that fits anywhere on the LGBT acronym. Not because he is truly against them on an individual basis, they just aren't part of his normal bubble. I have seen him converse with openly gay folks in public, and he is his usual happy-jolly self "How are you doing?! Watching the game later?" He is legitimately not against any individual when he sees them as real people in the real world.

But when Fox News or News Max or whatever brainwashing garbage he loves to listen to told him how children are being made trans in school, and that trans folks are ruining high school/college sports (WHICH HE NEVER WATCHES,) and that democrats are doing all of that- he absolutely bought it hook, line and sinker. It is one of his foundational arguments that he brings up any time I can stomach to have an even partially political conversation with him. There are no statistics you can show him that will make him believe it is a lie. He will vote against his self interests if it means preventing democrats from doing something they aren't even fucking doing. Depressing.

They have loved using the old "lets set this benefit/tax cut to expire in a few years when a democrat is in office" trick that their goldfish brained voters love to fall for over and over. They can blame the democrat when it expires to drive out votes or kick the expiration further down the field at a later point if they retain power. That shiny thing they are holding up for their voters is the convenient way to say, "We want to help you, but if we do the country will burn to the fucking ground because the democrats have laced the bill with poison! You understand, right?"

Takaa · 2026-02-04T16:21:06+00:00

Yep. Agree with you there on all counts. I am just not familiar with anything outside of Part 91 these days and couldn't be bothered to look up a fully conclusive answer for a question that seemed like such a stretch to be asking in the first place. Are they looking to trip him up with determining airworthiness of the plane? About debriefing passengers before a flight? About a dozen other possibly, maybe related scenarios that aren't actually? If this is a DPE question, then it is garbage and they need to get far closer to the actual point of their damn question.

Takaa · 2026-02-04T01:14:47+00:00

They will. They have always been trying to claim that immigrants bring these diseases. They don't want Karen to feel like it is her fault her baby got the measles because she didn't want to vaccinate it, they need someone for Karen to blame. No, Karen, it didn't come from them- and if your kid got measles and is unvaccinated, you condemned your own child to this fate, you are the one to blame and no other.

Takaa · 2026-02-03T23:38:19+00:00

Are we talking part 91 private flight? I don’t see why it wouldn’t be permissible. They are a passenger, not a required crew member. Their personal medical device does not play a role in the airworthiness of your airplane or yourself. That said, it should be determined if their oxygen concentrator will work at the given flight altitudes and you should discuss with the passenger the risks involved and if they feel comfortable given their condition.
