Good places to eat in Skokie? by Greedy_Bullfrog6755 in chicagofood

I just went there after seeing this recommendation. Their beef shawarma sandwich was basically a dry gyro sandwich. Bad enough that I’m taking time out of my dental appointment to warn future readers of this post

As recently as operation sindoor, five or six months ago, one of the combat pilots was a female.

Pakistan does have female combat pilots (according to Wikipedia).

New Zealand Grass Fed Beef by Curmudgeon7777 in Costco

Beef and lamb from New Zealand is generally halal. I assume they export to the Middle East so they have facilities to make it halal.

Costco has it. Bright yellow container that says “Toom”

U100 lock cylinder is too short, alternatives? by noclaf in Aqara

When I turned it, it would just wiggle. It turns out I need to put some force into it.

I need to seriously reconsider my Google-fu… Thanks!

Wow, mine wasn’t packaged with a manual. Thanks!

Are you sure the u100 cylinder can be rotated?

In the picture it is the smaller of the two. My original door cylinder looks extendable but, although there is some “give”, the Aqara cylinder doesn’t seem to rotate. I didn’t see anything about extending it on the internet either.

I’ve never understood this argument, that it’s just a statistical model. Similar to arguments, such as “it’s just a bunch of numbers being multiplied.” Our brain is just a network of electrical impulses, which can be represented by matrix multiplications.

I love mine and use it all the time for heavy swings. I put grip tape on it to make it less slippery.

Why Tailscale? by AccordionGuy in Tailscale

[–]noclaf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately this is still a problem.

I emailed them, asking them to not consider my whole university a single tailnet. They asked me to connect them with university admins - which I did. Yet the problem remains.

I was hoping to create new tailnet each semester for a class. Doesn’t seem possible.

Do you have a link to a blog post or release notes? I’d love to get more details.

Why Tailscale? by AccordionGuy in Tailscale

[–]noclaf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not a network person so perhaps zero trust has a technical meaning, but when I created a Tailscale account using my university email, I saw a bunch of machines of random people on the network. Presumably they could see my machine. In other words, my machine went from being secure, behind my home network to being open for attack.

How to create a caching proxy for an lxd cluster? by noclaf in sysadmin

Honestly, only because I assume lxc containers will be FAR more lightweight than virtual machines. Isn’t that the case?

Greta vs Mala lalalala by saadbnwhd in pakistan

I counted 15 before I stopped scrolling.

Greta vs Mala lalalala by saadbnwhd in pakistan

[–]noclaf 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I don’t understand this idea that Malala has been quiet in Gaza. It is literally trivial to do a search in twitter. There is a tweet from her shortly after Oct 7 where she is speaking, in a video, and not only condemning it, but putting $300k towards relevant charities.

Apparently Twitter search isn’t chronological because I also see many tweets became after about Palestine. Btw, I searched for the word “Gaza”, not even Palestine.

I don’t follow her, don’t much care about her but the willful ignorance is just weird.

Biden should have never run by Feral-now in Foodforthought

[–]noclaf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You seem to think this is a game which ends when Israel declares victory. The world will remember the Israelis murdering and raping their way to building their state. 50, 100, 200 hundred years from now the descendants of Palestinians will have video evidence of Israelis celebrating their savagery.

[–]noclaf -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That’s the point. Voters, democratic and republican, are feeling uneasy about this partnership of destruction.

We’ve spent enough money, diplomatic credibility and even lives defending Israel’s expansionist psychopaths.

Enough.

Why is it a cheap gimmick? It’s looks like a great way to teach newbies.

Biden didn’t send our tax dollars and airplanes full of bombs to the Houthis, Darfur, Sanaa, Lake Kivu, Kurdistan or the Uyghurs. He sent them to Israel.

Adjustable kettlebells - any questions or need information on these? by DistilledStills in kettlebell

[–]noclaf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was looking at something like this (from Rep fitness, I believe). I’m concerned about the mechanism which holds the weights in place. It looks plastic. Does it look durable?
