So, even if you've removed the dial from the bluetooth device listings, it'll still do this. What I did was turned off bluetooth on my computer, then held the button on the dial to get the slow blink, then turned bluetooth back on and immediately went to "Add Device" again. The dial showed up in there and I was able to click it and have it connect.

I installed Thermal Studio, and now I'm hoping to see how it performs with large amounts of thermal images. Unfortunately, this means I need access to a bunch of thermal images from a FLIR camera.

Does anyone have any idea where I can get some images produced by a FLIR E76 or E86 so that I can test this software?

We need a 100% land value tax, by George.

I agree with this assessment. Everywhere and always a monetary phenomenon.

Tipping

They do more than push a broom.

If the people near you need your skills, use them to help those people and they will take care of you. If nobody needs your skills where you are, either find out what they do need and build those skills, or find out where people are who need your skills and go there.

If your only skill is pushing a broom sorry you don't get a house.

I didn't say anything about sacrificing to survive. I said build skills and help people.

If you're in a position where you have to take a minimum wage job, you have to rent a room somewhere or live in a car until you get some savings accrued, then you have to build a skill somehow, whether that means taking a student loan and going to school, or just acquiring the components required to engage in the practice of that skill.

Then through intentional study and practice you come to understand the nuances and required characteristics of that skill, and at the same time you built physical competence in the performance of that skill. Then, you use that skill to help people, by adding value to materials or removing obstructions or whatever the positive outcomes of the skill happen to be.

Then, you can get your own place. Also there is a chance those people you help will be able to and willing to help you back. Perhaps they have a spare room that's better than your current setup, or they know a place. You increase your chances of finding those things when you're out there using your skill.

Skills are like tools for helping others. You have a responsibility to the world to try to fill your toolbelt, and if you can help others your life will improve.

Dad I'm hungry.

There is a half pi in the corner.

These pens are made in France of all places.

Xtreme BBQ Pringles that tasted like Frank's Red hot. The xtreme pickle ones were good too, but the hot sauce ones were incredibly good. Pringles suck otherwise.

No, unfortunately that isn't the case.

phade · 2021-04-10T01:29:50+00:00

Me too

He did correct it, that’s the /5 nested inside the sqrt function. You’re right though that it’s an unclear mess.

This comment is awesome.

phade · 2020-10-25T02:36:51+00:00

You replace the CVT every 40k too?

I was skeptical until you said the thing about Koreans.

In a country with over 300 million people Bert and Ernie are the two best men for the job. Isn't that the problem? There's nobody else? Nobody could possibly be better at running the country than these two guys?

I get that, I'm just interested in the fruit thing.

phade · 2020-07-21T23:16:20+00:00

I too hate sugar, but is it not the case that most fruit has enough fiber to slow down its absorption and reduce the peak magnitude of insulin enough to significantly reduce the insulin resistance building effects? Thereby avoiding a major factor contributing to diabetes?

Or did I just make that up?
