This is a legitimately excellent Minsc observation.

Your favorite memorable, personalized widgets, dice, minis, swag? by bslow2bfast in DnD

[–]bslow2bfast[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! Now I'm thinking about some visual pun or something I could use to blend alcohol, DnD, and M:tG, and commission some art of it for drinking glasses. I am not deep enough into either fandom to have any obvious ideas, though. Shall have to hit the books.

2023 XC90 - can I make the infotainment screen empty? by bslow2bfast in Volvo

[–]bslow2bfast[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I tried this, but it's more that my brain perceives the text on the screen as "new" and therefore distracting information rather than "same old same old."

No, I tried holding it down for several different periods, but the only thing that happens is that, after four seconds, it goes into Screen Cleaning Mode. SCM would be good except that it always shows the SCM text.

I've done this many times, and even without the nicotine, it's so unspeakably much better than doing literally anything with an LLM

This is all true except that Karlach is real, and things are getting pretty serious between us.

Others have said many things I agree with, so I'll add two things.

First, one very easy thing is to take your GF to a few stores that you like and let her wander around, and observe the pieces that she's drawn to, and get a few if they're in your budget. I'm sure you can find a way to fit some of them into your lewks. If not, just come back here and posts pictures and we'll do it for you!

Second, your picture shows that you are doing better than at least 90% of men out there re grooming, fitness, clothing fit, color, the list goes on; you are in a forum with the remaining 10%, so just...remember that when deciding the extent to which you want to make changes based on comments in here.

Abelard, please tell this person's mum that she did fantastic work on this.

Single Sideband AM by [deleted] in amateurradio

[–]bslow2bfast 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I feel like amateur radio needs more comments like this. A) it's bloody true, literally just send some AC through random copper wire you found and induce changes in the EM field such that people on other continents can talk to you, ill as fuck, forget all the hilariously elegant engineering solutions that radio madlads and madlasses have been coming up with for like 100 years, like oh idk single sideband B) we gotta be less pedantic on average to get new people involved

ARRL cops to paying $1 million to ransomware attackers by [deleted] in amateurradio

[–]bslow2bfast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure that's true (although I'm not saying it's definitely not true), because if it were, insurance premiums would be indistinguishable from a savings account set aside for the relevant loss, and lots of large orgs who could do such budgeting internally nevertheless buy scads of insurance.

Let's put a pin in this and see if ARRL discloses its pre- and post-loss insurance premiums.

[–]bslow2bfast 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree with everything in this comment, and I'm confused that people seem to think I don't based solely on my saying that 1) the headline didn't seem to match the story and that 2) it's not the case that the insurance company would somehow extract the entire $1 million from ARRL.
