Out of the American big three, I have the most confidence in Ford. I’ve worked with engineers at all three, and the ones at Ford are the ones that I felt were most compitent.
That being said, my next car will probably be a Toyota or a Subaru. Both way better than the American OEMs.
They’re good for longevity, but they’re bad for quarterly profits. In the US, we care much more for the latter.
I work in the auto industry. Can confirm, Stellantis is in bad shape. I wouldn’t buy anything from them.
I die cleaning a bicycle chain.
Canadians also use “cheque”, but I’ve got a foot in both countries. Consider me your Bri’ish/'murican translator.
I’ve had others correct me the other direction (specifically decrying the use of “refund” because it wasn’t money owed in the first place). At some point it’s just semantics.
I’m aware, I was simply translating for our colleague across the pond.
You might be getting the wrong idea. We have tax withholding on our paychecks, same idea. Then when you file your taxes, you either send a cheque (if your withholding was less than you owed) or you get a return (if your withholding was more than you owed).
I had looked at those, but the hat alone is over $70. Plus they need an RPi5, because earlier ones don’t have a PCIe interface. For that much, I could get a Beelink or something similar.
The hat is a cool idea, though.
I hadn’t looked at any ODROID stuff, and the HC4 is a cool looking solution! I’m actually even more impressed with the M1S, which has a built-in M.2 slot. Can’t use my existing spinny drives, but for the price of the M1S, I could pick up an NVMe drive to go with it.
Yeah, I assume you’d have another one (or more) on earth that would be the “main” one(s). It’s like doing computer backups (keep them apart), but with more murder.
A SBC with SATA ports, to use as a Plex server. I’ve only ever found one (the Zimaboard), but it’s a bit pricey for something that I’d still have to find some way to house with an external HDD.
Go to school for aeronautics, become a rocket scientist. Get a job making rockets and satellites. When you finally get to work on a probe that is designed to not return, make it a horcrux just before it’s launched. Even if people eventually figure out what it is, they won’t be able to do anything about it until we have access to FTL travel.
I always thought Rob Reiner had a similar sense of humor to Mel Brooks. And I liked Billy Crystal in it, it kept that section of the movie from feeling too heavy, though I get it’s not everyone’s thing.
For anyone who hasn’t read it, the book is fantastic as well, and helped me appreciate the movie even more (it’s probably one of the best film adaptations of a book ever, IMO). The humor and wit of William Goldman was captured expertly in the movie.
I’d fund Larian to create and release creator tools for custom campaigns for their BG3 engine. Then let the community do its thing. It’s not perfect, but it’s pretty good for a general D&D video game engine.
I’d also request a sequel/DLC for BG3. Specifically, going to hell in search of a heart…
I’ve got a small volcanic rock from Mt Vesuvius, a Polaroid Land camera 95A from the late 40s or 50s, and I built a magic mirror (which isn’t that obscure, but lots of people find it fascinating).
I’m seeing the name of the community, and I’m still not entirely sure this isn’t an onion. It’s that onion-y.
