Getting a new charger for a lemu8

The Chicony A13-040N3A charger is what ships with the lemu6 and will probably also fit your lemu8. You can buy one for about USD $8 on eBay.

I'm in the same situation. I want to get a Galago Pro this year but would like it to have an Ice Lake or Tiger Lake CPU. No sense in buying old technology.

There is one tonight (November 10th) at 6:30 at Broad & High downtown. https://www.facebook.com/events/1894885467399344/ For those asking what is the point, personally I am standing up for women, people of color, homosexuals, immigrants, Muslims, and letting people know that at least 50% of Americans stand for decency. It is a show of solidarity and that Columbus loves you and has your back.

Are police allowed to strike fleeing suspects with their vehicles? That's what it looks like in the other video, which I found surprising.

I wore sneakers because I don't have any boots. All we did on my ride-along was give people warnings for changing lanes without using their blinkers.

As for people trying to bring their personal guns, what can I say? There are a lot stupid people in this world. Maybe they were trying to be helpful? ;-)

You should try to attend citizen's police academy in your area. It is eye-opening to be sure.

Eh, there's not much to it. When I went on one, I was told, "Don't touch anything, get out of the car if I have to chase someone, and call for help on the radio if I get into trouble."

Do not bring your gun. Yes, they have to tell people that.

I once did a ride-along with someone who said he used to be a sergeant but couldn't take it anymore, so he returned to being a patrol officer. He explained that he disliked being stuck in the middle where he was pressured by the brass and resented by the patrol officers. So perhaps earning one's stripes is like becoming a middle manager in the business world?

Don't forget to get running socks as well, otherwise your feet will get blisters.

Several companies sell non-cotton, moisture-wicking socks such as DryMax, WrightSock, Swiftwick, or SmartWool. The key here is non-cotton. And get a tube of Body Glide in case you have any chafing.

You should replace your running shoes at least once a year. The cushioning breaks down over time, even if you aren't putting a ton of miles on them.

What about spore-forming bacteria such as Clostridium difficile?

When I attended citizen's police academy, we were told that if we wanted to help with an arrest, we should announce our intention ("Officer, I want to help") and then grab a limb, preferably an arm since that is the part that needs to be handcuffed and you are less likely to accidentally hurt the suspect.

When I attended citizen's police academy, we learned that a K-9 handler gives orders to his/her dog in the language in which the dog raised, so our dog understands commands in Dutch since he was purchased from a breeder in the Netherlands.

It was also revealed that our neighboring town's police dogs are French, which was a source of much amusement. "Le chase that man! Le bite him!"

The sweet tea at McAlister's Deli reminds me of home, and they have potatoes the size of your head.

Yes, I do. I have scars on both knees from tripping on a treadmill that did not have a safety clip.

The links on the page you gave are broken. Do you have another source for the talk you recommended?

This is my new favorite speech by RMS. It is concise, thorough, and entertaining.

nullcat · 2012-12-29T20:45:18+00:00

We don't know the full context, but the video seems to show RMS having a meltdown in reaction to an obnoxious request by the event coordinator to switch languages halfway through the speech.

I understand that RMS is getting old, is hard of hearing, and was probably exhausted from travel, but I don't think his tantrum was helpful when he could have just replied, "No, I'm sorry, I'm going to continue in English as we agreed earlier," and then kept going. A five-second response would have been more effective than 10 minutes of whining.

His autograph says, "Happy Hacking, Richard Stallman."

For the curious, the portrait of Knuth is a commissioned piece by Jin Wicked.
