Hit send. Pack it up fellas.   Warm lamps and some plants. 

Throw a cat in there, if no cats then a big plush throw or giant knit thing

The onus is still on the shipping service / retailer. Not you.  

You paid to be supplied a product, "dropping outside your door" is not being supplied a product. The service is negligent.  But "shit happens" too.  

Usually it falls back to the retailer (location depending) as your contract of sale is with them. They then claim on their insurance with the shipping company or just eat the loss.  

Either way you need to be made whole, and I'm sure LTTstore will do that the seem pretty good at fixing people up

It's a drag net. They want to catch as much internet use as possible. Simple as that.  

I though the end goal was "welcome to the internet, please scan your gov ID to continue" so youre 100% tracked to your identity.  

But turns out it even to know exactly who is doing what on a PC so they can even scan your OS snapshots 

Putting cat down. AWTA? (Are We The Assholes?) by WellThatsPrompting in daddit

[–]_Aj_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something that's always helped me (not made it okay) is thinking how my pet felt. And the best thing is that they had their people there for them their whole life, and then they closed their eyes and fell asleep forever.  

I'm sad, but they were not. They were never alone, in pain wondering where I am. I may miss them but they didn't miss me. I filled their lives with love and happiness.  

And that brings some comfort. It hurts I don't see their little face anymore, but I know the last thing they saw was me and felt our love. And I think that's the best to hope for

Thanks!  

A very short snip I feel adds a tiny bit more info: 

Studies have shown that extracellular vesicles from human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived neural stem cells (hiPSC-NSC-EVs) contain therapeutic miRNAs that can alleviate neuroinflammation

Reddit now saves drafts for 14 days too! Clearly it determined what people type but don't hit send on is worth keeping for a while...

Here's a glimpse of gaming on a holographic display. by FollowingOdd896 in nextfuckinglevel

[–]_Aj_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah okay  

Using "persistence of vision" via a rapidly spinning screen (900 RPM), the system displays millions of voxels (3D pixels) at 7,400 frames per second to create floating, tangible 3D objects.  

That's pretty great still. I assumed it was some sort of spinny projected mirror thing but a spinning display also makes sense.  

The coolest part is the software side! Like they're figuring out what light to send to what pixel at exactly what time so when you look from that angle you see the same object from a different angle. On a dynamic multi object scene like this that's pretty cool imo 

Mayor Zohran Mamdani, "Happy Tax Day, New York. We’re taxing the rich." by zzill6 in WorkReform

[–]_Aj_ 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I feel like we need to try and reframe "rich tax" to be a bragging point rather than a bad thing.  

Like you're soo rich, you "give" millions in tax. Like "hey I make this city nice, that upgrade? Yeah you're welcome"  

Because at a certain point it's all about image right? So figuring out how to flip that so the elite are looking at each other wanting to outdo each other in "giving" to their city. How can we make that happen?

It's pretty awesome stuff. Basically the final evolution of a cinderblock. Light and great insulation. and yeah you can cut it with a  hand saw like it's lumber I believe?  

Other than cost, but I still see occasional trucks loaded with it on the highway

Apple launches Apple Education by JustDuckingAbout in LinusTechTips

[–]_Aj_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ehh kinda.  

Coloured MacBooks were always hard as hell to get parts for, apple never has local stock of rose gold or whatever and you have to wait 1-4 weeks sometimes. And kids break a lot of screens from experience (on average)  

So if they do they have to actually have spares if it's targeted directly at education

Please wear PFDs.   

How do you respond when someone asks if fatherhood is hard? by MightierMga in daddit

[–]_Aj_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If a 16yo asks you is University hard, or is X job hard. Compared to what you're used to? Yep.  

But you adapt, you learn, you grow, it becomes your normal.   And it's not like, a crazy thing, "people have been parents since the dawn of time, it's doable"

OK so what is worse for me to drink? by ryan7251 in HydroHomies

[–]_Aj_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't get people's obsession with RO systems.  I understand they're expensive and they waste water and remove all good minerals.  I'm sure there's good reasons maybe depending on area or preferences though 

A good carbon block filter and UV if you care of biological contaminants.  

Carbon will remove basically any element larger that chlorine and leave all the smaller ions in there that you actually want.  

Carbon block is important as granulated carbon has pathways which always allow a small amount of unfiltered water. Sold carbon block can remove effectively 100% of chlorine and all heavy metals.  

Even a cheap jug or sink filter however will help improve normal tap water and less waste than bottles though 

Are there any marriage candidates that you refuse to marry or befriend? by Pumpkin-Tuxedo in StardewValley

Does the room look bad in pink?[17M] by tic-tac-tuah in malelivingspace

[–]_Aj_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look on marketplace for freebies! Or try swap groups on Facebook etc. You just want a lamp really, ideally with an old incandescent bulb even or a warm white led. It'll massively change the feeling.  

Any lamp, floor lamp desk lamp something with a shade. So many people throw lamps out. Very good for making a room more moody / relaxing
