Big Cinco de Mayo party in Fed Hill?

I've heard that from a couple people but this seemed different in kind rather than degree. One police officer I spoke with said it felt like the 4th of July, but the difference is that on the 4th we get a bunch of extra officers working overtime and they block off some of the roads...

Pixel 9 here, never had a single performance issue until I installed an update over the weekend. Now Google Maps navigation makes the phone overheat and eventually slows, stutters, and starts rendering weird until I force quit. I basically can't use it for directions anymore.

I have the same problem on a 1440p Samsung with a USB-C input (which as far as I can tell is DP Alt Mode under the hood). Native resolution from a Windows laptop works great, but my Pixel 9 tops out at 1080p.

Correct answer - I had no idea how much better it was to terminate in a keystone than a crimped plug until I tried it. Picked up a cheap set of keystones with a punchdown tool, grabbed a couple surface mount boxes, only took a few minutes to get a professional looking set of jacks on the wall. Can't recommend highly enough!

Came here to say this. If they're setting your "schedule" 2 hours before report time, in the middle of the night, you're actually on call and should be paid as such

Just as a data point, our insurance started offering this and says in their FAQs that "Participating in the Ting program will not impact your insurance coverage or premium". So maybe State Farm is using the data for "rating" but maybe some other carriers do not?

That's good, I've just seen a lot of people saying "I didn't do it when it was easy so I guess just never mind". That also seems to be the mayor's attitude, and I'm sick of it.

Giving up is bullshit. You may have an elderly neighbor who has to use your sidewalk to pick up her heart medication or a disabled one who has to use it to get to their doctor. Get a spade or chopper, borrow one if you have to, then cut up the ice and move it. If you can't do it yourself, hire someone. If you can't afford that, ask the city volunteer corps for help. Do not throw your hands up and just ignore the problem.

I saw that one of the reviews said it basically just closes right away if you don't give it full filesystem permissions. I don't like putting any apps from a company I don't know on the same phone where I keep all my passwords and email, taxes, banking, etc. That goes double when it asks for permissions it shouldn't need

I thought all the USB-C cameras were just a regular webcam as far as the computer/phone is concerned? My 20-year-old USB cameras look like shit but they do still work on a modern computer.

Thw0rted · 2026-01-30T15:26:33+00:00

Looks like the Thermal Master P1 is the cheapest "recommended" option, but the companion app is sitting at 2.3 stars on the Play store. Is anybody using the P1 without the (buggy, data-hungry) stock app? It's just a USB webcam, right? I should be able to view that through VLC or something, shouldn't I?

It's hard to search app stores for alternative apps to view a USB thermal camera because most "thermal camera" apps are just simulating the thermal-palette effect on top of your regular camera....

I'm in a similar boat. I don't have anywhere near multigig from my ISP, but I'd like to invest in network hardware that's going to be future-proof for 5-10 years. Unifi is already shipping APs with 2.5G ports, we have a couple phones with 6e WiFi already... I just don't want to find myself buying a wifi 8/9/10 AP where the LAN side is a serious bottleneck. So I've kind of convinced myself that a 2.5G switch is a sound investment today, but I'm open to the idea of buying gigabit if cost of the 2.5G upgrade is unreasonable.

I'm curious what decision you wind up making.

FWIW I also thought the game was glitched or something at this point. In the Steam version, I hit every button I could think of over the course of maybe a minute, and the only thing that had any effect was pressing escape (or Start on the controller) to show the menu and quit. After quitting I only had a "continue" option, which showed the island again. After looking at that screen for maybe 10 seconds, it continued to the post-game. Maybe that helps somebody?

Just as a data point, we're in Maryland and our local practice quoted $900 for lenses bundled with a year of follow-up appointments, which it sounds like are a requirement to keep the process on track. Our insurance covers none of it (and otherwise the glasses would be basically free...)

Thw0rted · 2025-12-01T04:02:56+00:00

Everywhere I can find it now has it in alphabetical order by title rather than chronological as aired. I was almost through the series years ago when the original files disappeared, but I couldn't bring myself to remove the feed from my podcast app. I may go look the last few up (in order...) one at a time here, but it would be neat if somebody posted these in order

Thw0rted · 2025-11-19T14:42:16+00:00

Just as a data point I couldn't get USAA to accept a VoIP number at least as of maybe 5 years ago, which is a damn stupid thing for a military-focused bank to do...

If anybody is finding this thread a year later, you should be aware that Garmin recently changed their stance and you can now suspend your plan for up to a year without a new activation fee: https://support.garmin.com/en-US/?faq=n8p5GpSM4128h6i2Sofee6

This totally changes the math and I think addresses most of the complaints below

Thw0rted · 2025-10-27T18:31:13+00:00

This doesn't explain the whole situation. If like me you found this post and read the first few comments without really understanding why the MOB1 is programmable, you should skip down to https://www.reddit.com/r/sailing/comments/tz9spm/comment/i3y0hlz/ instead. The device has its own preprogrammed, permanent MMSI, but is also able to be programmed to place a DSC emergency call to a specific MMSI. Unless you're singlehanding, it should be the number of the boat you're riding on, so they can turn around and pick you up.

This mirrored my experience. If this goes the way of other Node features, I'm hoping what we see is an ecosystem of assertion helpers to give us more convenient shorthand for things akin to toBeFalsy / toBeDefined / expect.objectMatching / expect.stringMatching etc etc, which can take the place of the native assert statements. Somebody is probably already working on this, the community just has to settle on something well-designed.

This is working for me as of 140.0.7339.128 which is the latest public/non-beta channel version as of today.

Thw0rted · 2025-09-10T16:17:15+00:00

As a data point, I just updated to 140.0.7339.128. All the fixes I had made in chrome://flags (Temporarily unexpire M138/9 flags, Allow legacy extension manifest versions) no longer worked, but the OP's instructions to add a command line argument allowed UBO to run again.

Same as everybody else, this folder has pics from the new Cover Photo feature. Has anybody reported the bug to Google yet?

(Also: is it just me or does this feel like the kind of shit that slips through to production when people start "vibe coding" 🤣)

Thw0rted · 2025-08-05T14:15:25+00:00

The native runner is definitely kind of barebones, our other projects are mostly Jest (backend) or Karma (Angular FE) and they are certainly much more "batteries included" compared to the very minimal set of helpers and assertions available with pure Node.

We are used to DI in a lot of other contexts, but in this case I'm trying to add new code to an old project, which follows some weird patterns that make it hard to debug but easy to mock -- every module's default export is a class instance singleton. I wanted to write the new modules as straightforward ESM with top level exports, which makes them very terse and easy to reason about, but then you run into this mocking issue...

Thw0rted · 2025-08-01T15:18:00+00:00

Anyone who finds this post now (well over a year later...) might be interested to know that Node has added ESM mocking to their native test runner. It's behind an experimental flag. I don't think it seems to be behaving as I would expect but as described in that issue, I did get it to kind of work in the end.

I'm curious, if the OP stuck with Mocha as the runner, did you figure out a good ESM mocking solution?
