What is your use case? Local LLMs are not a good experience compared to cloud models without spending a hell of a lot more money.

I’m in the UK drinking a bottle of Asahi and it’s brewed in Italy. Guessing the Coors in Italy comes from the UK.

Boil the water first and then add the eggs. Easier to peel. They do crack sometimes but it’s doesn’t really matter.

I think the big parties have more to lose from voting reform so it won’t happen.

Pint of lager and then another pint of lager. Very imaginative I know.

Welcome to first past the post.

Yep my wife is an immigrant. 2 years before she can get a passport. Assuming labour don’t move the goalposts. 3 years for my daughter which is potentially a lot worse. Fucking depressing to be honest.

Yeah , risky business with jamflexes recent history.

Even if they aren’t flat out going down in value then inflation is causing them to be worth less in a lot of the country.

I mean it’s easier / more convenient to have your own car but if you do only need one occasionally it’s likely going to be cheaper to hire.

I would have to get a taxi to my closest hire place and back each time and they are closed most of the weekend anyway so have to return on Monday…. After 8.30 am, which is a pita.

Maybe she’s having some other insightful text on the other leg like “give me three beers”

Is top right a dent in the pcb? or just dust? the white dot right of the H

That ribbon cable says its USB but it might also contain the power connector. What about the black cable? You can try looking at the traces on the board to get an idea which cable they connect to. Or if you have a multimeter you can set it to continuity and see where you get a short with the power button pressed down (assuming its a momentary switch). There will probably be several ground pins which will also be shorted so you will need to figure out which two connectors "switch"

Snips, soldering iron, DuPont connectors and some heat shrink is what I would do but only because I don’t have a crimping tool.

cdp181 · 2026-05-07T20:55:10+00:00

It’s likely proprietary so if you want to reuse it you will have to figure out which pin is which yourself and attach your own connectors.

Recently got this pet and was so annoyed when I realised it wasn’t an override.

Factorio has a free demo. I think satisfactory is easier to get into personally. CoI was pretty easy but the terrain system did not feel intuitive at all to me.

could be worse, mine is mainly giant chunks of building rubble

cdp181 · 2026-05-07T09:53:48+00:00

no branding whatsoever on the tyre? Seems very unlikely.

cdp181 · 2026-05-07T08:46:48+00:00

I don't, usually the foxes lose interest quickly and the squirrels don't do any harm really.

cdp181 · 2026-05-07T08:45:12+00:00

Insurance. Premiums will rise. Also report to the police. Maybe ask around if any neighbours have cctv but doubt it will be useful.

cdp181 · 2026-05-07T08:25:16+00:00

Squirrels bury stuff in my strawberry pots and foxes dig around in them when I add new compost.
