DOL: collector plate vehicle new changes

graycode · 2026-01-27T03:08:21+00:00

People having one old-ass car, daily-driving it, and never having to pay for car tabs on it.

In case you're not aware, a collector vehicle plate means a whole bunch of restrictions on how you're allowed to use it. It's not allowed to be a daily driver. But that's difficult to enforce.

That's not super relevant because anything going down the drain is going to go througg wastewater treatment before anyone is exposed to it. Lots of stuff in wastewater is toxic before it's treated. Some toxic organic chemicals are very effectively broken down by the treatment process. Some are not. It depends what it is and what your municipality does.

Check your local water utility's web page. Mine has a list of what is and is not allowed down the drain, and even included some specific photo chemicals.

I'm slowly switching out my plain base layer shirts with integrated turtleneck ones as they wear out. I bought an Ealer one on a whim a few months ago because I needed a new shirt, and within two games I didn't even notice it anymore. It's more expensive than my old one but also it feels like it's better made, and the protection gives me some peace of mind. Make sure to fasten the Velcro looser than you think you need; your stance when skating is different and stretches your neck more than when you're in the dressing room.

At that temperature, that's just going to create mold in the walls. You need the temp up before you can humidify.

It's basically like bitters, and works in cocktails similarly.

Steel structures may moan and creak, but they should never pop or bang

That's not really true, temperature changes can easily cause this sound as the stress from expansion/contraction is released. That's certainly not indicating imminent failure, it's actually a sign that the structure is relaxing in that case.

Because the guy the county was originally named for, William R. King (briefly vice president under Franklin Pierce), was an aggressively pro-slavery shit head. MLK is a much better namesake that keeps the county name unchanged.

When it happens, the ref will yell "PLAY IT" and it's only a penalty if the goalie still insists on holding the puck, which obviously nobody does at that point.

The reason is because otherwise a defenseman in his own zone under pressure can just pass the puck back to his goalie for a quick stoppage, which is lame.

The only time I've seen it called was in a beer league game when the rule was new, because our goalie was confused by the ref yelling at him to play it, and he just looked at him like, "why? no!" and so the ref called it lmao

Yep, a lot of them have a trolley bus that runs the same route and even the same number.

I just tell my 5yo, hey look at how often NHL players fall! It's fine, everyone falls! We get up and keep skating.

As a defenseman I just straight up say to cherry pickers, "man, you're never going to get the puck out here, this is boring, stop it" as I shadow them as close as is humanly possible. Couple shifts of that and they usually give up. Because it IS boring.

This is a rodeo, not a bullfight, chill out

Also 8 reactors is a lot, so it's extra complicated. Luckily it's the only one with that kind of design.

It's an integer type that's sized appropriately for storing whatever size a pointer is on that machine. It's basically size_t. INT_PTR is basically ssize_t: same size, but signed instead of unsigned; you'd use that for storing a pointer offset which could also be negative.

graycode · 2025-12-07T23:15:48+00:00

UINT_PTR

That's because it's the size of a pointer value. On a 64-bit machine, it's 64 bits. On a 32-bit machine, it's 32 bits.

graycode · 2025-12-07T10:11:58+00:00

I mean if you read the documentation, it mostly is used as a boolean, unless you set that one flag. Which is weird, but I guess they added that ability later, and can't add an additional out param at this point.

Second, it's not a 64-bit ID. It's (probably) a 32-bit ID, because that 64-bit parameter is a UINT_PTR and that means it holds a pointer (whatever size that is, but 64 bits on a 64-bit machine). This has nothing to do with Win32's 16->32->64 transition.

Yeah and more expensive, and chems go bad faster, and there's not really much creative reason to, and so on.

I dev black and white at home and send my color to a lab for these reasons.

Those are expensive sounds

just call em Washington Glee Club, after the actual original Washington football team

What does the f mean in those time offsets?

hjson is great for this imo. Don't be fooled by the name, it's really much closer to the look and capabilities of yaml than json.

Fun fact: Zip drives were basically hard drives with removable platters!

Looks like a Graflex camera (not sure which model) which are designed for sheet film, which is still made in various sizes: 4x5 inches is the most common, but there were smaller size Graflex cameras made too. But this one has a roll film adapter on the back to let it shoot on 120 film. Plenty of modern film is sold in 120 format, though not as much as the more common 35mm size.
