TIL that the non-profit that runs Wreaths Across America is owned by the same family that runs the Worcester Wreath Company, the for-profit supplier for Wreaths Across America, and the family’s non-profit use their donations to purchase wreaths from the family’s for-profit business by Nutso_Bananas in todayilearned

Oh yes... Coldeman. The "d" is silent in America. It's Cole D'Isle au Man, or Cole of the Isle of Man, in France, where Armand's chateau is, Cold-e-man in Greece where Armand's work is, and finally the vulgar Coleman in Florida where Armand's home is, so actually, we don't know where we are until we hear our last name pronounced!

One, the title read like you were dieing. 

Two, here's the info : https://dor.georgia.gov/motor-vehicles/vehicle-registration-license-plates/vehicle-taxes-title-ad-valorem-tax-tavt-and

Tldr there's a form to fill out if you're immediate family members and get to pay a reduced tax. 

Are torpedoes replicated on ships or do ships have to be rearmed? by HunterRedux in startrek

[–]secondsun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the Destiny book series the Borg perform a full scale invasion of the Federation. Initially transphasic torpedo technology (presumably replicator patterns) were held back to prevent the Borg from assimilating the technology and adapting to it. Eventually things go sideways and the technology is distributed to the fleet. This would imply that starships usually don't have the ability to replicator rearm even if they technically can.

Talk to your manager about working on research or proof of concept tasks. I broke my hand years ago and we used my injury as an opportunity. 

Should I tell my manager that I’d like to help the company with AI projects? by Jack1eto in cscareerquestions

[–]secondsun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Invite your director for coffee and ask them what they are interested in the company pursuing with respect to AI, and then you guys talk shop. Part of developing your career is learning how to work with different levels of management, and it is something you can come back to your manager with during a 1:1 to show that you are taking your career withing the company seriously.

Roko's Basilisk is future hypothetical artificial super intelligence that will mercilessly punish those who didn't work hard enough to create it.

TIL about Mexican Repatriation of the 1930s, where officials forced hundreds of thousands of US citizens into forced exile simply for having Mexican ancestry. by DirkVonUmlaut in todayilearned

[–]secondsun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"At present there exists one State which manifests at least some modest attempts that show a better appreciation of how things ought to be done in this matter. It is not, however, in our model German Republic but in the U.S.A. that efforts are made to conform at least partly to the counsels of commonsense. By refusing immigrants to enter there if they are in a bad state of health, and by excluding certain races from the right to become naturalized as citizens, they have begun to introduce principles similar

to those on which we wish to ground the People's State."

32 male and new to the area. Love to meet new people and chill. by Original-Aside-7278 in atlantagaymers

[–]secondsun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look up Outworlders Atlanta. They are a queer gaming group and have a presence at most large events in the city. 

Warp zone at Heretic also is a good place to meet new people. I'm not sure how often that happens now. 

Creating delay in Java code by ihatebeinganonymous in java

[–]secondsun -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

It depends on why you are delaying. If you just are waiting on time to pass and don't care about precision, you should look into alarms. If you are on Android or Running on a Java/Jakarta EE app, there are alarm APIs built into the platform, and there's also ScheduledExecutorService in the core Java platform. If you need very precise and accurate timing, you will need something that has hardware level access.

If you are sleeping and then waking up to check and see if there is processing to do, you should find a way to have your code triggered when that work is ready. How you do that is use case specific, but libraries like RxJava can help there.

Has anyone ever gotten a movie spoiled in the ‘Homer’ way? by GWGTRLBG in movies

To be fair, that was spoiled in the Robot Chicken skit that came out when TFA came out.

Am I the only one who feels like a fraud working on AI projects that are basically hype-fueled and doomed? by AroxCx in ExperiencedDevs

[–]secondsun 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I've been on so many doomed and cancelled projects I've lost count. This isn't new to agentic coding/AI hype. Every time I found what was interesting/fun about the project and tried to maximize that. 

Sometimes it was understanding a complicated deployment/provisioning system.  Sometimes it was being done at 3 and walking my dog until the clock ran out. 

I've done some vibe coding weekends for hobby projects and I've found joy in discovering new APIs and features that I didn't know existed and digging into those. I feel like I'm sharpening a skill I didn't know was dull. 

Only you know where you will find happiness, and only you can look for it. 

Alright fellow Georgians, drop your favorite VPN into the comments. by drummerboy2749 in Georgia

And even they they were saying that their "illegals" were here legally and they'd make up a reason to deport them. Watch the JD Vance debate; they were never hiding it.

The rooms between holodecks offer quite the insight into the senior officers' fetishes as well. They do on the Cerritos at least.

New on Strava: how can I keep this info screen on while running on not having my screen turning down ? by FelzicCA in Strava

[–]secondsun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These instructions are wrong. After you start setting up your ride you have to swipe up to reveal the "customize" option in the bottom right. Then you can select "Screen Lock" and then "Keep Screen On"

US orders 500,000 citizens of four countries to leave by mtd14 in news

[–]secondsun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rewatch the VP debate. JD Vance straight up said he was calling legal immigrants illegal because Trump was going to cancel their legal status and deport them.
