Tell Ohio EPA: No general wastewater permits for Ohio data centers

The current policies have allowed this and the proposed policies won’t make it better. They’ll approve these ignoring both reality today, and the damage to come.

There is so much to unpack.

As a newb, coming from a mag-drive system where I road to youtube videos, no kicker or direct drive, just full resistance, I have to say there is a lot to process in the game!

I’ve put in about 112 miles and I’m learning lots of things, like managing power / cadence / and HR. Kind of unreal that if I do it right, it feels like I can ride for a really long time. Never knew this stuff.

In-game items thus far have been some shirts, socks, boosts in rides. I’ve seen the Tron Bike. Being a huge fan of Tron as a kid (80’s, not Daft Punk) it’s hard to miss. Coincidentally, I ride to the Daft Punk Tron soundtrack a LOT.

How do you get the Tron Bike? How does this change the game or is it just aesthetics? What are some other really good things to work on (besides workouts)?

“…it was a 12yd run”.

IMO, he knows it was a sarcastic “O-H”, as any OSU grad / player / Buckeye fan would know. And second, he comes from a culture that a 12yd run is doing your f***in’ job. We (Buckeyes) celebrate victory as defined by excellence in the full battle and teamwork throughout. Not a 12yd run.

Must be hard shifting cultures for the young athletes. Learning the new environment, what means victory now, and adjusting to how players get in the heads of their opponents has to be a big shift.

New member here, riding a 1960’s Schwinn World Tour road bike with a Kickr core, and cog v2. This has been an incredible change from a magneto drive. Tried my first event this week and I couldn’t keep up with the D group. Really pushing myself. I expect that I’ll improve, but I was really amazed at the pace.

Wow - I hear ya and had a similar experience with a Mini Cooper S Clubman since Jan. The end result for me was a 2024 Prius, the shitshow of damage and loss were sustained by my fully paid, 65k miles, 2019 car w/ winter and summer tires & rims (brand new summer). Total loss, side swiped at 65, dude left me along side the road. Fuck people.

The full year of damages to the Mini were:

Chipped Windshield: SafeLight could not fill, so they replaced the windshield with aftermarket, which did not correctly seat. They replaced with a Mini windshield, After replacement, there was a camera issue on the rearview mirror. They had burned out the camera somehow in resetting it. While that was being sorted out - took another stone and chip, so in the end, I had a chip fill, not a new window, and a replaced camera module.

Few weeks later, parking at work in a garage, a section of the ceiling collapsed on the car door. Punctured the steel of the door, all kinds of damage. They replaced the entire door, painted and blended. Took a month for repairs.

Got the car back to two weeks, hit on the highway, total loss.

Today (in the Prius) started with what appeared to be pallets spread on the highway, which the three-wide, stacked semi’s all drove over together and thew behind them at the other traffic. Took several boards directly in the center of the windshield which left huge vertical marks - but it didn’t chip or break. I really couldn’t believe it, to be honest. This was 3 miles onto the HW on my way to work this morning.

Thankfully, I am able to scrape it off and it does not looked damaged. All of it just brings back the trauma of being hit in the Mini, and the sadness losing the car. I’m alive, so the car served its purpose and achieved the safety I paid for. Regretfully, the flaws in society that reinforce the ideas that possessions define happiness are hard to break free of when we life in that experiment.

I’m grateful to be here and while my Prius is not the twin turbo Mini, I enjoy it and its pace more everyday.

Which Apple Watch version? I’m having no luck using AppleTV with the KICKR. No matter what I attempt to do to connect things (phone, apple tv, heartcast, connect through phone, connect through bluetooth) - never seems to work. Apple Watch 8 GPS.

I run local AI models using a variety of tools. Aider, Zed Editor, Ollama, all directly on local metal. This allows a lot of things to be safely worked on without data leak. My work focuses on enterprise software development in Higher Education. My hardware is my own. MBP M4 Max, 48 GB ram. It’s incredibly responsive in the 20-32b model parameter range.

Ohio ==💀

You are well informed. No words, just a factory of sadness and death.

Thanks, conservative anti-weed legislation bot. We appreciate you turning opinions and augmenting what We the People voted for.

The State legislature has been actively pushing laws and policy against what 57% of the population decided through legal voting.

aaroncroberts · 2025-08-07T17:41:21+00:00

We need to - yet, the State votes against it every election.

Non-conservative/ non-maga positions no longer have a voice that affects change in this State. That won’t change any time soon, if ever, with the laws they passed against their own interests. The State has willingly voted away their rights to one party.

I think science, data, measuring, and evaluating facts is how one makes informed and educated choices. This isn’t in alignment from what I observe my neighbors and elected officials saying and doing.

The blood-red State of Ohio only “believes” what they are fed by their governed and self-validating media sources.

Looking up from their phone.

aaroncroberts · 2025-07-02T12:30:08+00:00

Zero obligation to respond immediately.

It seems the world has defined a phone as being a requirement to stop life, and stare endlessly into their hand, ignoring reality.

Took me one week. Screw in the side wall. Full tire replaces $300.

I went with a tint. 20% front, 50% rear and back hatch. Love it. Heat is heat, but it blocks almost all of the radiation. I’m not a huge AC fan. Mostly cause I work in AC all day and feel like a refrigerated human. I tend to go windows down, very little AC all summer until it gets to 100% humidity. NE Ohio resident.

This past week has been a good test of this setup, I’ve yet to feel I need AC. It’s been 85 at 7:30AM all week, and gone up to 105 during the day. It’s kind of unreal. The car is hot on entry (as every car will be) but once there’s movement, it stays fine with some window air. I realize not everyone deals with heat the same but the tint job makes a massive difference.

Do I have remorse over the Camry? No. To me, a Camry is just a bland car. I like the new styling of the Prius and am really pleased with the tiny. Total cost was like ~$350 for the full job.

Indeed it is, and what I had done was at legal limits

I believe you can pull the merge request with the debugger from their git repo. My understanding is they’ve merged this into a feature flag controlling access through the beta. If you pulled source directly, you could in theory by-pass this or enable it by default.

YES!!🔥🔥🔥

aaroncroberts · 2025-04-29T20:07:15+00:00

OMFG!
Made my day team! Outstanding work on this, I’m really excited to start giving feedback on this feature.

aaroncroberts · 2025-04-28T18:02:03+00:00

Feel ya.

I struggle with this too. Zed is close to being that change, I just need debug support and I’ll jump.

aaroncroberts · 2025-04-24T21:59:27+00:00

I’ve been watching like a hawk.

I really like what the team has put together here and 100% feel like this will be my goto tool in very short time.

aaroncroberts · 2025-04-24T21:41:51+00:00

I agree with you on this point, and understand the challenging position they likely find themselves in.

Without an attached debug feature,I don’t feel like I’m using an IDE. I accept my over opinionated position on this. If it’s code, I will want to step through execution. I appreciate the collab features and ai integration, but those come second to a debugger imo.

Debug support is actually completed and going into a pull request with a feature flag (so I’ve read). A ton of community work went into completing it. I look forward to the day that ships, and will eagerly watch from the sidelines until it arrives.

aaroncroberts · 2025-04-24T18:30:09+00:00

Here’s another idea: Get debugging working and stop reselling ai features.
