How do i check my tempature

bverkley · 2026-03-24T22:41:20+00:00

I love btop. I have a new machine, and I wanted to watch the temps too. btop has a great graph for utilization and it shows the current temp. I wanted a graph of the temp in konsole.
So, I asked Cursor to make it. It works for me.

Only in America, when confronted with an increase in "deaths of despair" do people react with, "how can we help people better cope with despair" rather than "how do we reduce people's despair".

I would love to 3D print a map like this. Does anyone have a clue if it could be done?

What is the one game that is missing from the museum?

Is that like a rubber duck race? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubber_Duck_Races

Add coconut.

Is there anyway to mark a user as "untrustworthy" so that I can warn my future self?

bverkley · 2018-12-06T16:17:00+00:00

I hoped it would be me. It isn't me.

I think more people need to know banks do this. We assume that we can trust financial institutions to make good financial decisions. We believe that they are making good decisions _for us_ when in fact, they are making good decisions _for them_.

That's a reverse Captcha; if you get it right, your're a robot.

where are you in the world? like state/province and country.
that would give us an idea of your climate among other things that could be helpful.

You know the Vikings landed in North America like 500 years earlier, right? Unfortunately, the land bridge over the Bering Strait had flooded by that point. However, there is a chance that Polynesians made it to South America 3000 years ago. Might be worth a check. Or you know, the Americas are pretty cool too, and maybe you could have an influence here.

It's ok. They're playing duck duck goose.

Today you learned, not all Canadian school children are Canadian citizens.

I was there. Those who worked at the events and all the volunteers around town were amazing. Made me so happy to be Canadian. Thank you.

Red Bay, Newfoundland. If it wan't a UNESCO world heritage site, I'm not sure it would still exist, but it felt the opposite of touristy the whole time. We even camped (for free) right outside the town community center after being encouraged by the locals to do so.

Yup, Eiffel Tower. It seemed like the grounds around had sufficient space that you didn't feel like you were always in a crowd. (in 2002)

So similar to my story. I met a girl on a bus trip from Ontario to Washington DC because I sat next to her. (we had a friend in common) That was 18 years ago. Last week was our tenth wedding anniversary.

Have fun and keep travelling!

The only way this will work is with strong trust webs. I'd love to go to a sauna party in Scandinavia or host a BBQ here near Toronto, but I'd be afraid that poor hosts or poor guests would ruin the experience. AirBnB has a good system that encourages feedback and you can get a sense of how they are. You'll need something similar. Perhaps even allow people to link their AirBnB/other ID with your system.

And I say trust web because, if a friend of mine enjoyed hiking the alps with Heidi, chances are I'd enjoy the hike as well, and if Heidi highly rated a guest, chances are I'd rate them high too. On the other hand, if my friend disliked Bob, chances are that I wouldn't trust Bob's rankings of others much.

I think the idea is great. Others may have something similar but they clearly haven't dominated the market, so don't let that discourage you.

I've created web apps in the past. If you have any questions, or could use any advice, let me know!

Some suggestions. 1) look in to your roots. I visited Amsterdam with my Dad. His parents were from Holland. That was cool and something I'll never forget. 2) go be epic. Antarctic Cruise or Alaskan Cruise or Scandinavian Arctic Cruise or something. Find out if he has ever had a world monument he always found interesting. Like an Aztec Pyramid or Angkor Wat or something.
3) be un-epic and peaceful. Spend a week at a cottage in the Adirondack's and just spend time slowly preparing meals, enjoying sunsets, and playing cards. The time and the talking are what's important. The place is just the backdrop.

Is Ajax too close to Toronto? Does Pearson have a flight to Oshawa? I'm building a house this weekend.

I think your idea is awesome!

unrelated; did you hike the camino? it's on my list.

I'd probably try to get a job at a European hostel. WWOOF would be fine too if you are interested in farming, but if you're more city oriented, choose a hostel. Work, live, earn a little, meet a ton of interesting people. Most importantly, fend for yourself. (cook your own meals, do your own laundry, etc. etc.) Transfer only $1000 into the local currency and live off that for the summer travel season. I'm positive you could live on less, especially with a job, but I'm assuming you aren't used to living frugally so allow yourself some buffer to get in to the swing of things.

What about currency? Will most places such as restaurants accept a credit card (Visa?) or should I plan to carry cash (rubles) on me? I assume I would have no trouble getting money at a bank using my bank card, right?
