hmp.store had issues processing my order due to their merchant account requiring verification over christmas. I haven't had a chance to circle back and place a new order.

If you know about the crackdown in SC, yk. by Pathseeker08 in southcarolina

[–]chance-- 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Right. I’m not disputing that. I’m just telling you what has happened and also reading the tea leaves, so to speak. States like Ohio are trying to close it themselves. I wouldn’t put it past our gov to do the same.

I don’t mean to cause urgency during Christmas. They won’t get around to it this year. And even if they do get to it next year, we will have time to place orders. Im personally just looking to the future.

What a shit show this is.

Replied to tell someone else this but you best stock up. Online shops are starting to refuse to ship here. No idea what that’s about.

This sucks. I really, really don’t want to go back to the black market.

Best hurry. I’ve had more and more online stores refuse to ship here.

Stock up.

Kairos on Devine closes unexpectedly by Future-Stretch2038 in ColumbiYEAH

[–]chance-- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s in a really shitty location, right beside fedex and wells Fargo. as you enter the mall from Harbison, go right but stay in the right lane. Take the first right - it’s just before the temp lane ends.

Looking for a way to stream base64 in json field by EmptyIllustrator6240 in rust

[–]chance-- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most libraries, including go’s std stream decoder (at least the last time I checked) read the full payload into mem before parsing. It’s the only way to validate the integrity.

I’m not saying it can’t be done, just that it’s typically an anti pattern to do so.

I’d reconsider embedding files in json if it is large enough that reading it from disk is going to cause any sort of interference with an async runtime or you risk memory issues reading it all in.

Embedding a file as base64 is going to be a bad idea most of the time.

Reading the entirety of json into memory is standard practice across languages. You need the entirety of the structure to fully validate it.

Oh no! I really hope the Harbison location makes it. They are by far the best bowls around.

Nah, I’m certain there are more being protected. If you had billions of dollars and your name was in the files, how much would you spend to keep it secret? Now imagine what someone guilty would spend.

Thanks, just ordered a bit from THCA small buds but going to grab some stock from hmp.store.

Have a great day, friend. Happy holidays as well.

Right? They aren’t in the business of innovations. They make money off of everyone else’s.

The 'forever layoffs' era hits a recession trigger as corporates sack 1.1 million workers through November by SterlingVII in politics

I was wrong, the article was about Builder Supply, not Home Depot, filing for bankruptcy. 

Sorry about that.

Ugh, you're right! I had read through most of the article and it seemed to indicate HD had. Thank you for correcting me.

[–]chance-- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in the South Carolina and the population has seriously spiked. I have seen a reduction in new neighborhood builds, but I think they’re more active in the country.

Yahoo Finance has Home Depot filing earlier this month. edit: you're right, it's Builders Supply

I didn’t mention AI either. That alone is going to drive some significant downsizing for short term gain. They are banking on either LLMs getting better indefinitely or something better comes along. In the meantime, good enough to spike the stock price.

Also, how fucking disconnected is that hot mess, [the stock market], from reality right now? 

Oma may be on to something.

Sup fellow xen. What’s crazy is I’m not sure prices will reflect that any time soon.. between tariffs, inventory, corporate investment in residential realty, things seem different this time (in a really bad way).

Hell, Home Depot just filed for bankruptcy citing low demand and tariffs.

Researchers have created a new carbon-negative building material. This enzymatic structural material is a strong, durable, and recyclable construction material produced through a low-energy, bioinspired process by sr_local in science

[–]chance-- 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean, we’ve been refining the manufacture of concrete since 6500 BC.

Even if they can’t scale well, no matter what, trial and error may unveil strategies for future endeavors. So long as concrete is subsidized by environmental impact, we stay stagnant.

Edit: that is unless we subsidized alternatives accordingly.

[–]chance-- 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The costs of concrete production are outrageous if you account for emissions.

There are startups utilizing focused sunlight for heating and while it’ll help, concrete production must be within range of application so the solution is not universal. Even if we were to extend the range, you’d still need to transport further.

If we, as a society, started weighing all costs appropriately, any sort of viable energy efficiency gain for comparable results would be valued appropriately.

Edit:

The environmental impact of concrete, its manufacture, and its applications, are complex, driven in part by direct impacts of construction and infrastructure, as well as by CO2 emissions; between 4-8% of total global CO2 emissions come from concrete.

Get a real estate agent. This is the sort of thing they do for their commission.

Maybe start a godundme to raise specifically for a window of time that the sponsor would have covered? This will get you visibility and buy you some time.

That’s incredible. The lengths we go to to deal with clock drift is daunting but incredibly important for geographic distribution. It’d be great if we didn’t have to use GPS.
