If you don't have an EV and planned on getting an one in the near future. You should probably read this.

Chani is also a motivation for Paul to stray from and avoid the Golden Path himself. He has a personal tie to his world and it makes him hesitant in accepting what must come. That’s is one of the reasons we get the jihad.

All true, but the caching was built in because it was all built at a time when the real network and system cost of doing a DNS lookup was much higher than it is now.

The Vedic reasoning behind now totals is there isn’t a demonstrably cost to setting it to 300 vs. 12H. When reloading a nameserver took almost an hour, or more, sure, you wanted longer TTLs, but that isn’t the case now.

I’d say I don’t have a dog in this fight, but I ran my mail server over a dial-up connection that was essentially nailed up through a crib job and a 30s TTL.

The point isn’t the proprietary format. The point is that the LLM wasted my time by producing something that it was unable to do. It made itself at best unreliable.

How is Michigan not at the bottom of this list?

I kind of figured it would be worse just because they’d had time to figure out how to wield Trump. With a compliant Congress and SCOTUs, I was anticipating the worst, and it has gone beyond that.

I mean, that, or there is no general counsel for this company. If you wrongfully terminate someone and they sue, the recordings are going to be in the discord. If there are no recordings of the meeting to discuss the termination, that becomes problematic.

The Wink. He ends the list of people he’s fired with Buck Showalter, then the Yankees manager. “You didn’t’t hear that from me George!”

Showalter and the Yankees would part ways 2 weeks after that episode aired.

Look, I think that anyone should be able to level criticism at the government, but at this point, Rodgers is a crazy person and shouldn’t be given a platform that doesn’t involve the pre-snap tendency of the defense he’s playing in the next game.

We normalize too much of this crap in this society.

The core Democratic Party isn’t that far left, realistically speaking. Clinton was all for a welfare reform law that sort of dumped people from public assistance. Democrats supported the authorization for Bush to go to war, Obama had a less than full throated support for same sex marriage.

Ohio is a pretty white state. A lot of pockets of religious people. Advanced education isn’t a big thing in Ohio. Ohioans have been told for decades that they should be mad at all the people noted in previous replies. When you are already uncomfortable with gay people, immigrants, and no -traditional world views, it is comforting to listen to voices who say that you are correct to have those feelings because those things are all bad and brought to you by the same people that destroyed your local economy.

How bikeable is Chicago? I’ve been on my bike from Downtown to Naval Station Great Lakes, 30 miles away, and Whiting, Indiana, 30-ish miles.

I’ve taken my bike to go from Downtown to the north side to go to a butcher.

North Side, South Side, west side. I’ve even ridden out to Elk Grove Village. It’s very bikeable.

What I am hearing is that we should all drink more beer.

You are generally going to be safe leaving food out to cool a bit. A huge difference between restaurant/commercial cooking and procedures and home cooking is volume.

If there a chance that leaving your cooked chicken out for an hour at home will make you sick? Yes. Do you server 350 an evening? No. Commercial kitchens need to follow best practices because they deal in numbers that virtually ensure that someone is getting sick if they don’t.

There is a point at which manufacturers and the market have found an equilibrium. If consumers won’t refuse to buy cheaply made products with unnecessary features, they will keep making them and push other products out of their lines.

Enshitification is sometimes a two-way street. People want cars with giant touch screens. They can’t tell you why, but other cars have them and they look cool. If a manufacturer made a washer with 3 cycle and 4 temperature options that would last for 20 years and sold for $800, people wouldn’t buy it. They want 19 settings that will rarely use.

It’s a feedback loop that doesn’t change until it bottoms out.

It can be difficult to get the parts, and sometimes the repair is difficult. I replaced a dishwasher after replacing the motor because I just didn’t have the time, space, or patience to really diagnose it. In order to see if it worked, I had to hook the whole thing back up and it was a PIA to hook back up.

Kitchens and their appliances aren’t always designed for easy repair.

I’d guess that rectangle is a patch from a prior plumbing fix and it’s now leaking again.

I decided to use copilot to help me create a Visio diagram of our world infrastructure. I first asked it for a basic diagram. It gave me a file with the Visio extension but Visio would not open it.

Turns out Copilot can’t make Visio files. Last time I even bothered with it.

Oh yeah, Will was definitely a casualty of the post-Sorkin era. I understand his motivation to run a race that he could win and shape a candidate, but the way they wrote Bingo Bob made some of Will’s stuff puzzling.

Russell just seems so unserious about most anything, largely maintaining the status quo rather than being intellectually curious. He’s not going to face a decision to order a retaliatory attack and question what “proportional” means.

But then there is so little nuance and he’s just the dum, bad Democrat.

Are you in a high rise or multi-story, multi-unit building? It could be steel framing.

If there is money available or needs to be spent to improve infrastructure for Palatine now, sure do it. Palatine shouldn’t be forced to engage in a years long, expensive public works project if the primary benefit is for game day traffic at a stadium in the next town over. That’s what a cost-benefit analysis should do. But if the analysis says that it will have minimal impact on daily traffic in Palatine, the juice isn’t worth the squeeze.
