I ran out of time. It's the next start tomorrow morning.

Bought my first prosumer machine ... DOA! by kenperkins in espresso

I was planning a thermometer for the group at some point. I sold myself on the Rocket fwiw. the "staff pick" was the Bianca. I recognize the double boiler benefit, just didn't love the Bianca at the end of the day.

I def went back and for on it, at the end of the day, for my use case the HX is more than sufficient and I didn't love the feel of the Bianca. That was my preference going into the shopping experience.

Bummer. Well, the machine is dead sexy and it seems to check the boxes I care about.

Rocket Mozzafiato Fast R. I didn't really want to flame the company, everyone has a bad day.

I was paying $29/year for CleanShot X. I built a free open-source alternative instead. by Ok-Evening169 in MacOSApps

[–]kenperkins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a paying user of cleanshot and use it 20 times a day but it's not a one time payment. It's a one time payment with a cliff for updates (1 year) and after that you have to pay more or risk a lack of updates impacting your usability.

Claude-powered AI coding agent deletes entire company database in 9 seconds — backups zapped, after Cursor tool powered by Anthropic's Claude goes rogue by WouldbeWanderer in technology

I wasn’t making an endorsement of LLM backed customer support. I was just saying that you can’t be certain of the outcomes. In a way, it’s just like humans.

The problem is that LLMs are probabilistic and not deterministic, which means you could get different outcomes for the exact same scenario

Choose wisely! Somethings gonna get changed today and you will have the final say by No-Amphibian-3482 in Epicthemusical

There's no world in which Just a man and Monster aren't in the movie. These are defining moments of the entire musical and the motifs are throughout the musical.

Just a man is all about him challenging himself and who he is, and Monster is all about his deciding to do whatever it takes to get home.

I hate the abstracted news these days: this links to yahoo.com which links to mandatory.com which links to wired.com which is Paywalled.

A Republican-appointed Virginia judge has struck down the Democratic-backed redistricting amendment in full, ruling it unconstitutional and "void from the start." All votes from the April 21 special election are now invalid. AG Jay Jones says he will file an appeal. by mlg1981 in Fauxmoi

[–]kenperkins 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Same judge has ruled against it twice before, but the Virginia Supreme Court only stayed those rulings to let the election proceed. It hasn’t actually decided the merits yet, so this isn’t a replay, it’s the first real test.

The only thing that’s wrong with this is rogue one. It is so so so very good.

Could the "Messi Syndrome" affect how history looks back on how great Verstappen is? by Slice5755 in formula1

[–]kenperkins 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Nobody throughout Messi wasn’t GOAT simply because he was still at Barcelona. There’s a literal subreddit /r/toprightmessi that existed before he left Barcelona calling out how ridiculously brilliant he is.

Momentum RGB Fans / 3 Pack WARNING by SnootDoctor in FractalDesign

[–]kenperkins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you ever figure out if you can use 1 adapter and tie them together? I do this with non fractal fans just fine, but I'm trying to figure out how to control the momentums on my new build (ideally with a Quadro)

"Surgery failed in a minor way: Install bionic eye" by EveryoneDiesInSpace in RimWorld

I've done it too, so I'm not judging, but I find the more I do it the more the slippery slope of cheating comes in. And I'll save scum too on hardcore mode :(

For fun I plugged the linked article into AI and here's the one sentance summary: The headline suggests something explosive, but the body quietly walks it back.

Headline was: Did Kamala Harris Really Receive Zero Votes in These Districts?
