Exactly. It’s all of the quiet parts, but out loud, typed out, indexed, and easily accessible.

Syd Mead was a concept artist. Blade Runner was based on a short story by Philip K Dick called “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?”

My work laptop is a brick until it establishes a VPN tunnel back to the home network. There are ways to ensure the device only works how the company wants it to.

Bro, a real bro doesn’t ask these questions.

Honestly, I was taught that you should not use a signal in a roundabout, especially when the exits are so tight it’s easy to get confused if someone turns it on too early. I see now though that it’s the law in my area when exiting and I’ll start using it. I’ll be in the minority here.

I’m still not going to enter a roundabout just because I see someone’s turn signal on. I never trust them when I’m the one merging into a lane.

hackers only need a simple $169 hacking tool called Flipper Zero, a Raspberry Pi, or a laptop to pull it off.

At that point, why mention the Flipper Zero or RPi? Just say it can be done without specialized hardware. I feel like they’re trying to piggyback off of the buzz from the Flipper Zero being banned in Canada recently.

I haven’t worked with it before. The product is only supported on VMWare hypervisors, so no matter what, I’ll have to build on an unsupported setup, but I was leaning towards KVM for familiarity. I will make sure to check Proxmox out too though.

Well shit. ESXi was the best way to build a home lab when studying for the professional certifications I need.

NPR not covering the wildness of this vote. Not only did three Republicans cross the aisle (one more than expected), Democratic Representative Al Green of Texas showed up to vote in hospital scrubs and without socks after just getting out of surgery. The Hill Source

Here’s what NC Dem Representative Jeff Jackson said about McCarthy’s removal at the time. (emphasis added). I’m sure the same stands true for Johnson today.

Some folks in the minority were expecting him to reach out and say, “Hey, let’s make a deal. I’ll offer you this, and I want your vote.”

But instead, he went on TV the day before and basically said, “Here is my offer to the other party: Nothing.”

The minority party heard that from him and said, “Well, ok then, best of luck.”

That said, I’m not sure the Speaker could offer anything to the minority party. If he did, and his party found out, they’d be furious, and then he wouldn’t need six votes anymore - he would need 20 or 30 or 50.

Also worth mentioning that you couldn’t get hearing aids over-the-counter until 2022. I think there’s room for innovation in the space now, but it’s still a new thing.

On a hot day sitting in a parking lot, my Model 3 loses about 10% of its charge just cooling the battery. I am lucky to have the ability to charge at home so I don’t have to worry about it, but if I was living in an apartment, I’d have constant anxiety about it discharging and not being ready when I need it. It’s doable, but having to plan out an extra 20-30 minutes plus travel time to hit a charger, that’s a fairly significant change to routine.

That said, yes, more EV charging at gas stations please. It’s critical for road trips.

Half? Bet that number is higher. Linux can run on a potato if you find the right distro.

Why fuck yeah? Credit Unions aren’t banks. They are owned by the members who keep their money there. This isn’t, “Big bad corpo gets a black eye.” This is “People trying to have a bit more control over their money get fucked over once again.”

It’s 0 to 200 miles in 15 minutes in ideal conditions. Really good, but no reason to set unreasonable expectations.

In my experience, it’s closer to 45 minutes to go from 15-20% to 90% in my Model 3. The supercharger’s fastest charge is when the battery is less than half full. After that, it slows down to protect the life of the battery pack. If all you need is enough charge to get home to your own charger, it’s entirely possible that you can be in and out in 10-15 minutes.

Yeah, unfortunately, it is hard for me to hurt their bottom line because I checked out of the series after Origins.

That said, I’ve never sought a refund on a digital copy of a game, but I wouldn’t hesitate if I paid full price for a game only to find out there were in game ads

Who knew Larry the Bird was an albatross the entire time

I have Max included with my home internet plan. I use it so little that if I was paying $16/month for it, I could probably drop it and just buy Blu-Rays for any movies or shows that I would watch on there and still be ahead at the end of the year. Plus then I’d have media to keep for when they inevitably delist it on the streaming catalog to save syndication fees.

The important bit is that these were short works published under a pseudonym in the 70s and 80s. They are not cobbled together from unfinished drafts and notes, which he expressly forbid before his passing.
