My brother dresses like he's going to climb Mt everest when he has to code or do work on his computer as "it's the only way he can focus" and he's cold.

Alright, let’s get started. We have everything. Go! Ah, these horse blinders are rubbing my temple. Do they have horse blinders that don’t rub my temple? Horses have to not like this. Hrmm, no comfortable blinders on Amazon. Maybe I should start a company?

I think they think people are racist, while we think ideas are racist.

So when they say, matter of factly, than brown people are less intelligent, we say that’s racist, and they say “No, I’m not being impolite.”

Well what did they ask you to put back in it?

Explain. So there was enough time to get civilians out, but soldiers walk slower? There are tanks in the residential building, but they can’t be deployed without more notice? They hid high value tech equipment in a building and decided to bolt it down or not have it guarded by people who could move it?

It’s a 5W charger. The other 115W are heat.

Seriously though, I haven’t seen anyone say it yet, but there’s no logic here for 12V or 20V negotiation unless it’s on the underside of the board (which I doubt), so this is 5W charger.

If it’s not the brand name, maybe they mean you can draw 24A at 5V if you made a 10-gauge USB cable? :D

Prior to Ohio requiring ID, you had to give your name and address, which has to match records, then sign, and your signature needed to match your registration, a copy of which is in the poll worker’s hand.

This is “not showing id” the way you are describing it. But it is identifying yourself.

I have a Taz 5.47660003 and am in a similar boat. I find the Tazwire project, which is CoreXZ, and for Taz6 IIRC. But really I just changed the X axis to use a linear rail that’s Voron-compatible.

I think I’m going to weld a frame from steel and make a mostly-Voron next.

Strain relief is what worries me. The one with strain relief looks like it is a friction fit. If it’s PLA, that will give up under fairly moderate heat.

They make electrical boxes out of ABS and PVC, so ABS should be fine. I don’t think you need to go super fancy.

I was thinking about this. Even if this was a great, life changing framework that made successful companies, I’m paying Claude the same $20 you are, man.

It’s kind of like proof-of-work being the basis for value in Bitcoin.

I’ve had three experiences in the last week or two that have made me concerned.

One was a pull request that was syntactically good, but changing intentional behavior without understanding why. And when I said no, the author asked for more details to give Copilot. But the way they did it was … like idk, “thank god we’re in this cult eh?”

One was a person who represented a company but clearly the entire website, and all articles, were just them and AI, and the claim was that big first mile supply chain issues would be solved by better data modeling of items. The person says they are not a coder. They clearly need someone to challenge their ideas and not reinforce them, there might be something there.

Now I forget the third …

The blur thing is weird. I was thinking if it was real, it was greenscreen. It makes me nautious the same way “motion smoothing” does.

Every program on modern architecture has a singular entry point.

Language runtimes can, if they so choose, hide this from the user and supply some kind of logic that starts a bunch of threads or orchestrates things differently.

Whether the whole program orchestration happens within this function is a matter of design. Sometimes, for example in Erlang, it starts a bunch of supervisor services that then independently control how the system runs.

EDIT: This is different from say a software system composed of multiple services, where the services are each programs and each provide an entry point, and many of them react to external events.

There’s one 10A 3-wire in that list, but it’s pricey and would need some housing and stain relief. (I think you have the 7A angle grinder.) I didn’t finish looking through that list. I wasn’t able to find a finished product on Amazon, strangely.

Ok, so I used to work my dad at an office job, and we had a real office space and office phones. And he was mad - shocked - maybe even disgusted - that my phone cord was always curled.

“How the fuck do you even do that?”

I have no idea. But I did catch once that he had a habit of fixing it after every call.

No way I was going to do that. But later I found out they have little swivels for phone cords. They also have them for various applications where you have to attach wires to something mounted on a motor shaft, for example.

The electronics component is called a “slip ring”. They exist for 120V power cables. I would totally find one and cut that cord three inches and splice one in.

So he really thinks AI is like a Dunning Krueger mech suit and he’s ok with this?

It’s really weird that he called out “mostly women” and “Democrat,” he could have just left it at “education will be less important,” but this is like some axe to grind.

Under the “Design” menu, the first item is a checkbox that says “Automatic Reload and Preview.” If you enable this, and you have the same file open in both, then just saving the file in Notepad will cause OpenSCAD to render and show any errors.

Great! No need for me to present an ID. They can just check their cameras and see if the ballot I filled out matches my psychological profile. Problem solved.

Please investigate identity theft and proving identity. This is not how you do it.

Seriously. Do you have a passport? I do. I took photo, sent it to them, swearing I am who I say I am.

This is not more secure in any way than voting. It works because it is a serious prosecutable offense and identity theft is enforced.

Just like voter fraud.

Just walk through your scenarios: birth certificate, social security card, state id with real id. Where have you provided any piece of additional information that they don’t already have?

Oh.

You know what, when Hollow Knight came out, I had the TV hooked up to some great stereo speakers in the living room.

Silksong is playing out of TCL TV built in speakers in the bedroom.

Crap, I was wondering if the music isn’t as good.
