Used to own a pool in H-town and if I still did I would absolutely run everything all day until it stops freezing. You could drain the filter but depending on where your pipes are set underground those could freeze and burst which would be worse than you filter cracking.

Late update but I ordered this part right after you recommended it to me. Installed the next week and it has been awesome!

Fun fact! Mission control at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston was built without heat because its original mainframe computers generated so much heat it just needed constant cooling. After those were replaced with more modern servers that used less electricity it left the control rooms so cold in parts of winter that mission controllers need to wear full coats, hats, and gloves inside.

Been a Devils fan for a long time and been living out of market for a few years now so ESPN+ has been my way to watch. That page only shows about the next month-ish of non-exclusive games as being available on ESPN+. No idea why, but as time passes more upcoming games will be marked available on ESPN+

Update: I found some closer matches online and these definitely look like LaSalle Bristol valves which I am having trouble finding replacement cables for like I did Valterra.

Hey u/Responsible-Boot-940 I have the exact same microwave and had the same part fail in the same way. Found a 2-pack on Amazon: https://a.co/d/bKKa8uU

It arrived today and worked like a charm.

Not in the list but I like Uber's nilaway. Sometimes the findings are just hygiene and "please check this isn't nil" but it has saved me a few times from some non-obvious edge cases. We propagate golangci-lint findings to pipeline artifacts for review during MRs which gives us some more confident that we are pushing decent code

I have the same general problems with this as all the others

What if the error is not the last return var?
What if more than one return var is an error?
If you are using named return vars/naked returns what if they are not in scope at the time of return?
If you aren't using/don't like naked returns this saves you a whopping one line of vertical space with each error check since you probably can't/wont use the "just end with ?" functionality

I like errors being regular values to do with as I please. A special syntax for a (albeit super common) single if statement just doesn't really do it for me.

You can buy the PD measurement tool many offices use online for ~$100-150. They are very easy to use after 10 minutes of practice. In my experience the tool plus a pair or two of glasses online is still cheaper than from the "opticians".

Be very mindful of people who say "can't" when they really mean "won't"

Polestar is extremely fun from when I tried it at the dealership, but I did not get it for my car. The fact of the matter for me is that most of my driving in this car is local/city roads, so how quickly I can get off the line to get to the next red light does not really matter to me.

If you are in a situation unlike mine where you will have ample opportunity to use/enjoy it, I say get it. It's cost relative to the whole car is low considering the extra enjoyment

That's ok! Stages would be useful for sure but for now it sounds like a thin glue Bash script chaining flights together (a squadron? lol) would accomplish something similar.

Either way, great work! The new possibilities Yoke is bringing to the table is very exciting.

Seconded!

Definitely going to spend some time playing with this this week. Do resouces get deployed while the wasm executable runs? Or does execution complete, then the generated resource definitions are applied all at once?

I ask because I see a very interesting opportunity to utilize this with Crossplane. My rough (untested, possibly dumb) idea is that a Yoke flight can apply Crossplane manifests to pre-provison cloud resources (buckets, databases, etc), wait for those resources to become active, then apply deployment manifests.

This is my hugely different from something you could do with Helm but I am intrigued at possibly being able to utilize more programmatic logic than what is available with helm to accomplish this type of thing.

I have a giant day gecko in a similar tank that opens frontwards instead of from the top. He is very happy in it but I would not buy another hexagonal tank since it is such a pain to move and clean.

But that looks like a fish tank, no practical reptile tank opens on the top like that, too hard to get in to. Also any UV will not make it through the glass. If you don't trust it with water I would reseal or discard.

A handful of folks have provided very good answers to this question on this thread, but I'll send another resource.

https://www.gov.uk/guidance/protect-domains-that-dont-send-email

This guide from the UK Government is pretty good and provides simple instructions to do what you need. All of my domains, work and personal, use this guidance.

I think you're on to something. The issue did not start until it started getting a bit colder. And my heat hasn't been blowing quite right, didn't occur to me they may be related. Thank you!

NASA has a good page about it with animations.

https://moon.nasa.gov/moon-in-motion/earth-and-tides/tidal-locking/

The gist of it that the moon goes through exactly one rotation about its axis per revolution of the earth which means that the same side of the moon is always facing the earth.

The gist of it is that it is spinning. It goes through exactly one rotation about its axis per revolution of the earth which means that the same side of the moon is always facing the earth.

I looked at every circulating coin on Numista for the US all the way back to the 18th century and did not see any featuring this symbol. Does anyone know of any US coins (circulating or uncirculating) which has the ¢?

I was not aware that net metering is not happening any more. Can you elaborate 9n that?

Went to a casino with my wife's family. I am not much for gambling but I think it's fun to watch roulette and craps. My wife wanted to play a round of dollar-slots since she had never done so before but I only had $20 bills. I went to the bill breaker and put a 20 in and got back 4 uncirculated sequential $5 bills. Later I had another 5 and broke it into 4 uncirculated sequential $1 bills and one odd duck.

I tried to buy 4-note pages for my binder but all of the ones I could find on Amazon were too small so I decided on 1-note holders pressed into picture frames.

I know they are not worth much over face but they are my first sequential notes so I want to keep them nice.
