    The Japanese love small multifunctional gadgets so it makes perfect sense.

    Keep in mind Trumpers hate birth control and that one night stand might turn to an 18 year marathon with a crazy parent.

    About Decoy Octopus are you sure it's not the fight with Psycho Mantis where you're supposed to change the controller port to be able to hurt him? I can't find anything about CQC'ing Decoy Octopus.

    Make this position remote and I'll volunteer in a heartbeat. You'll never get me to quit.

    Yeah it's stuff like this that can make a huge problem like with the Mars Climate Orbiter crashing because its programmers were mixing and matching SI and Imperial units. Adding a few minutes to a document can save hours of looking stuff up for the reader later.

    It does seem like it would be a reasonable tax scheme but it would have to be carefully balanced for the type of use for the land. It'd make sense to charge more for a factory making a lot of value for the economy compared to a high density residential building occupying the same area. I personally prefer mixed use zoning to make land use more efficient though so it'd be interesting to see how that'd go.

    I'm already paying taxes for owning a small parcel of land to live on on top of income and sales taxes. It hurts from so many sides. 🥲

    The lack of labeling each variable (with units!) in equations really boils my piss. Yes the author knows them by heart, but even peers in the same field could struggle to understand what they mean. If introductory chemistry and physics instructors beat the practice into their students I see no excuse for authors to leave them out in a thesis.

    They also have a very tight tolerance of failure. Every failure made in the engineering process brings more and more scrutiny by those holding the purse strings in Washington.

    He's earned it. Hopefully retirement doesn't suit him though and we get another Mistwalker OST.

    Can't wait to see what industries that handle sensitive data will do when Recall becomes an integrated part of Windows 11. They might have no choice but to migrate to Linux.

    American politicians are cucks to Netanyahu and will let him do anything they want because of a few strategically placed bribes to PACs and major news outlets. It's embarrassing how blatantly easy it is to affect the levers of power in the world.

    Clearly you haven't had the joy of having 10 tabs on Firefox, a film playing on VLC, the torrent client running, and trying to open up a large Solidworks assembly file on a 16GB Windows 10 PC. It gets eaten up fairly quickly.

    Be careful which ebike brands to trust. Avoid Rad Power Bikes. Even though the brand's American, its customer service and reliability's a complete joke. I had a lightly used Rad Runner who's battery died a little after a year of light use. Their warranty only covered up to a year and they said their only solution is to buy a new $600 battery that doesn't even come with a warranty itself.

    The vacuum's a Matrix Shark and the mop's a Narwal something or other. Aside from them getting stuck in corners or entangled in wires once a week they work great! A little wire management and careful furniture placement lowered the chance of that happening again. One dog pretty much ignores it and the other eyes it with suspicion and wouldn't be in the same room it's running in but otherwise I haven't had any big issues yet.

  • I decided to purchase store bought ice cream after years of just buying from places like Cold Stone. It seems to me most ice cream manufacturers have very soft ice cream now despite storing it in a freezer for a week straight. I could easily drop a spoon in the tub and watch it cut straight through to the bottom. The consistency is now kind of disgusting because it feels like I'm eating whipped cream instead of something that should be semi solid. So far I've tried Tillamook, Dryer's, and Target's in house brand and they all have that same mushy texture. Before anyone suggests it's my freezer, I've kept it relatively uncluttered and everything else stays frozen just fine. I also make sure not to purchase those tubs of "Frozen Dairy Dessert". What happened? Is this some cost cutting measure or are customer's preferences really going to extremely soft textures?

    It sounds way less offensive to those who decry the original terminology's problematic roots but still keeps its meaning intact.

    I'm pretty sure they would. It's not like they'd like to see their seaside properties go underwater within their lifetimes.

    Hi all, I've recently switched over to Linux Mint from Windows 10 and I'm having trouble installing a CH340 driver from [Sparkfun](https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/how-to-install-ch340-drivers/all). I've managed to unzip the contents and have it in this location: **/home/user/Downloads/CH341SER_LINUX**. I've tried running the files using the ./ command for both the ch34x.c and Makefile but ran into a bash issue which I'm stuck trying to figure out. Could someone please tell me how to make it work? I've already looked up a couple of different videos on Youtube but they kind of skip the explanation of how to install this driver on Linux in favor of Windows and MacOS. Please see the attached image for the response I get in the terminal. UPDATE: It turns out I had a bad micro USB cable. Most of the ones I was using to connect to an ESP32 board were charge only. Mint apparently had the driver for this all along. Thanks for the help everyone.

    I was considering buying a Chevy Bolt lately to use as my daily commuter but found out it collects a lot of data and phones it back. It's hard to do research on what kind of EV I could buy that doesn't collect your location data so I'm hoping someone here might have some good suggestions.
