HDR works out of the box with nvidia in plasma. For some reason I couldn't get it to do that in a fresh arch install so giving it a spin for my desktop machine.

Mine live outside in the garage , I built a Corsi-Rosenthal box (box fan with a bunch of filters on it) that stays on out there, and both of mine are in fairly decently sealed enclosures with HEPA+Carbon recirc filters.

Don't go in there when printing unless absolutely necessary, and even then, minimise exposure.

I sold my pledges off 9 years ago, the reason I even made a reddit account in the first place. Was getting disillusioned with it back then and I was super excited when I initially backed it, had a decent amount of ships in the hangar at the time, but felt like I was only ever going to see them in the hangar

Was a thing when I took geo in first year, rock test (and the professor) was kinda a legend within engineering.

xFire was great, didn't know the whole yahoo thing

Kinda liked the separate applications for voice and chat, we used ventrilo over teamspeak for reasons I don't recall but all of that is just ancient history at this point (was using that like literally 20 years ago)

I recall ideas about using Advanced CANDU reactors to generate steam for SAGD (steam assisted gravity drainage) a long time ago, found this paper from 2003

What's old is (potentially) new I guess.

Going by endowments it's third, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Canadian_universities_by_endowment But they have like $6 billion in assets if I'm reading this balance sheet right UofT is "only" $5.8 billion

How the hell was that even issued? Ianal obviously, my recollection from uni engineering was that Prior Art matters.

Also, given that there's a lot of skilled people in the field these days, you'd think some of these patents could be challenged as being "obvious to a skilled person", bed levelling to me could fit that bill given it's a common issue that would make sense to pursue a solution for. Granted I'm not versed in us patent law (I barely have a basic understanding of Canadian Patent Law), so maybe that's different.

Always wondered if these could/should be considered constructive dismissal

I recall the AI insights feature years ago being a mess, flagged patterns across dimensions, unrelated trends etc, useless noise to slog through, if not outright dangerous if people just assume everything is actionable, maybe it's gotten better but it's going to rely heavily on data quality, good governance, the model itself.

Straight up, this is not a good use case for Power BI, tabular is really good at aggregates and analytics, I'd not use it for management like this, especially if there's already an existing application, as an enhancement though yeah go ahead, but not a full on replacement.

I'd be willing to bet this won't be done in 2 months and certainly not to budget, to do properly you need to understand business context, data model etc. I'm guaranteeing this is going to be sludge with half-baked power apps, people will complain about the change. Shit the change management for end users will take more than 2 months, took us years to get people to switch off of a barely maintained shift summary report to a Power BI version and that actually was a good use of the tool.

This project gives me nightmares and I'm not even working on it.

When I do my own, I'll give the dough a long cold ferment (I've done sourdough and preferment versions of a recipe I like, it's pretty simple just adds some olive oil, Flour Water Salt Yeast has a really decent recipe as well) and stretch it thin.

Sweet + savoury is a favourite of mine, one of the best was

• heavy herbed olive oil as the base, light
• caramelised shallots
• goat cheese
• prosciutto
• balsamic vinegar (good stuff preferred, but works with the thinner stuff) Did this with figs too, but you don't need it. As hot as you can go, had good results doing in one of my flatter bottom dutch ovens before.

Yeah I like Hawaiian, but it's way better with peameal bacon or streaky bacon than ham, even better with pickled jalapeños or some other hot pepper

The classic one that my partner and I had when we where dating was

• green olive
• bacon The place is closed down now, but it had a really thin, almost Italian style crust, to me that's a classic pizza.

Don't eat a lot of frozen, it's good to have on hand like frozen dumplings as a quick thing, honestly as much as loblaw's sucks (Canadian grocery chain) their brand (President's Choice) makes some really nice pizzas, or Dr Oetker.

Tend to order takeout from local places over chains

There's a profile I tried on my desktop during update 8 that wasn't terrible on an xbox controller, it's surprisingly playable imo, works well with action groups, probably be way nicer on the deck with something like rotary menus on the trackpads and using the back buttons for modifiers.

I'd give it a try anyhow, just probably going to need some fiddling to get where you want.

I'm replaying through the Metroid Prime Trilogy again, primehack is amazing.

It could totally be setup to feel/work like a trackball, remember playing a bunch of warframe with mine and being able to "throw" it and have it stop when you touch the pad again, took getting used to but substantially more flexible than a regular analogue stick.

I thought it looked amazing in cyberpunk, definitely enough to justify performance hits (which still runs totally fine at 3440x1440 on a 4070ti)

Lighting in general makes a huge difference imo, lumen (global illumination) in satisfactory looks fantastic to me, and I'm fine limiting to a lower framerate in a game like that.

Use it constantly, as others have said windows -> type is the best way to use windows, and I do the same thing on my linux machines, actually a lot of the ones I use regularly are the same or similar in KDE (can't recall if it's out of the box or if I configured that)

CTL+windows+arrows to swap desktops (which have been in windows for a while now and I swear no one else uses), lots of ones around those are super useful. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/keyboard-shortcuts-in-windows-dcc61a57-8ff0-cffe-9796-cb9706c75eec for reference.

Would have loved one of those sprinter vans when I did field work, used our utility trailer a lot, but something with a small workbench, lighting and conveniently located inverters would have been amazing.

Just for the heck of it, if you heat protein enough to denature it but have no Maillard reaction (let's say you've just made a hard boiled egg), would that not be considered cooking by that definition?

My understanding is that denaturing is a physical structure change, not a chemical one (and according to Wikipedia can be reversible in some cases), not a biochemist or food scientist though so totally accepting that my understanding is incorrect/incomplete.
