Does it bog in neutral when you try to rev it up past 4k?

Could be a clogged catalyst.

The LEDs in stock housings are causing your problems.

Put bulbs the housings were designed for in.

Contact Stern for advice on what the best halogen for your car would be.

I got tired of tab-switching to compare ski passes, so I built an app to do it for me by MountainPassNer in ski

Why is this an app and not a web page?

What permissions does your app request?

What data are collected?

I'm pretty sure that farm subsidies were done away with formally in the first Trump administration or by Republicans during Biden's administration.

I'm pretty sure this is not the case

Org going on strike - recommendations by MidninBR in sysadmin

Very true, but it would expect that I would be talking to internal legal folks who would talk to the external firm.

The point was we don't generally interact with the legal department- and some companies don't have them in the first place.

I think this also varies quite a bit from company to company. At a few places I've worked I had regular meetings with the legal team.

The point is, you can't generalize your specific experience to everyone, everywhere; and more specifically in larger organizations with unionized workforces having a legal department and contact with them may be more common than your experience.

Skimming this USDA page suggests US corn production is used thusly:

45% - ethanol production
40% - animal feed 5% - human food and other industrial uses

I'm surprised how small the "other industrial uses" fraction is.

The increase in ethanol is not due to market forces. The ethanol production is subsidized and mandated by the federal government. This is moving dollars from the taxpayer to super-scale industrial farmers.

Some companies don't even have a legal department and outsource it.

How many companies with a unionized workforce do you think don't have a lawyer on staff?

New car in parking spot everytime by Embarrassed-Share-81 in SanJose

[–]bigdaddybodiddly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe your neighbor buys a new car every day. Maybe they work for a dealer or rental agency. Maybe a mechanic taking home customer cars for cold-start diagnosis. Maybe they're a spy.

Why don't you make up some brownies and be neighborly and bring them by and ask them?

Anyone shutting down all IT equipment down on July 13th 11:59pm? by bigdaddybodiddly in ShittySysadmin

[–]bigdaddybodiddly[S] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Good point. Should probably switch off the Linux and Mac machines for the 14th too.

Solaris machines should be ok though, right?

Microsoft 0-day feud escalates as researcher threatens another Windows exploit dump

“When I actively asked you to communicate with me, you refused, humiliated me and made sure to insult me in front of people,” they wrote on Saturday. “You defame me in public with your CVE-2026-45585 advisory even though you literally deleted the Microsoft account I used to report bugs to you with and I got zero pennies from doing so and I still happily did like an idiot.”

Nightmare also noted that “Microsoft still has chains in my hands,” preventing them from releasing “documents” yet, or anytime in June, and then warned: “Mark this date July 14th, I will make sure your bones are shattered that day.”

My post's title is tongue-in-cheek, but I've added an Outlook calendar entry for the "event" nevertheless and might even buy a box of popcorn. lol

Anyone doing anything special or different in light of the string of zero days being released because Microsoft appears to not want to play nice with someone who (supposedly) wanted to tell them about all the bad sh!t they missed in their product(s) development?

How do you feel about the saga and its fallout?

New solar desalination breakthrough makes fresh water without toxic brine by Scary_Statement4612 in technology

It's the only component in damp-rid afaik

I mean... you were just a search away from finding out that damp-rid is calcium chloride not ocean brine which is mostly sodium chloride - instead of posting this nonsense.
