I started on Apple 2 then Macs. Then used my graduation money to build a PC with just released Windows 98, Monster Voodoo video card a few months later (off of eBay no less).
Gamed and worked through my design degree on windows before switching back to Mac when it went Intel, and because I was working in web development and l dealing with Linux servers all day, but also needed Photoshop and layer Sketch (a nice vector UI design tool) and later as I ditched Adobe in my own company, Pixelmator (a nice Photoshop replacement).
I know a little Vi, I know a bit about spinning up servers and Ruby on Rails, pretty comfortable with a terminal/cli, have a few RPis around the house, and I grew up on and still use Macs.

No, Ivanka. He’s losing his minds so fast he probably regularly forgets he’s married to the Soviet Spy.
Same thing happened to my MIL with Alzheimer’s. Was sad for her but she was mostly nice about it. Others aren’t so nice and get paranoid psychosis. I guess we’ll see what the fucking President of the US eggs up being like, if they don’t just start hiding him and AI-Generating all his speeches like the Kirk one.

They’ve decided dealing with listeria outbreaks a couple times a year is cheaper than running the fridges colder.

Makes more sense ads there is at best 2 tablespoons of oil in most large pizza recipes I’ve baked.

These have been both the included batteries (branded Kiddie, the detector brand), and Duracell, ostensibly one of the top 2 alkaline battery brands in the US. No Zinc or hollow junk batteries here.

You can also add 2 spaces to the end of each line before a single line break.
Like
ThisPain in the ass if your phone automatically adds a full stop after 2 spaces though.

The Idles aren’t half bad as well, check out gift horse. Or their tiny desk concert.

Slightly more land use I guess. It’s a lot better than having idling cars stacking up in your neighborhood though I bet.

They’re squeezing their hands like that so they don’t accidentally do the nazi solute again.

Our new Kiddie ones run on 2AAs. Which leak out their electrolyte sometime during the first year and then start corroding the battery terminals.
And since nobody makes reliable AA batteries anymore the newest ones will probably pop this year too. I’ll be impressed if the detector lasts 6 years.

Little tough on the eyes though. I’m not crying.

The corrupt contractors that install them ensure they won’t work, no tampering required.

Hope your lungs made it out of there ok. My friends mom died from lung cancer, but the kids are mostly ok so far. Sad part was she was a nurse who smoked like a chimney pretty much right up until death.
- Comment on Just answer the question you fuckin' nerd 2 weeks ago:
Yeah especially about things that are considered fundamental like the physics of fluids.
Unless they’re arguing about some quantum effect that hasn’t been proven maybe, but then they’re either a physicist or a Feynman bro who thinks they figured it out after “thinking hard about at and watching 7 hours of YouTube videos”.

General Strike is all we have left at this point.
- Comment on Just answer the question you fuckin' nerd 2 weeks ago:
Without gravity it’s a sphere, or in free fall without air drag it’s a sphere (if it has sufficient surface tension anyway, which is what makes lava or molasses flow that way, in combination with its viscosity).
But in a vacuum it will boil off until the vapor pressure is high enough to eliminate the vacuum. But then it’s not in a vacuum anymore.
Really a fluid or liquid will always try to minimize its surface area while fighting gravity.
It’s a definitions problem that a lot of people who think there aren’t “objective truths” in science.

That’s getting shut down too, they already fired most of the SNAP employees.

Isn’t part of the definition of liquid that it takes the form of its container?
I need an epistemological argument like I need a hole in my head.

Not anymore, we have zebra mosquitoes. They grow in hedges and bushes and require very little water. They also come out in the warm daytime and will bite you 4-6 times in a row before it starts to itch.

I also wonder what kind of bolts will need that amount of torque to tighten or loosen. They use much heavier impacts on train tracks (even gas powered ones with shoulder harnesses).
It would seem like when torquing things that large that bars and multipliers would still be the most accurate. But there must be a need for this kind of tool.
- Comment on Learn this one weird trick! 4 weeks ago:
Ha, I haven’t seen these, the Torque Test Channel needs one!
Looks like a standard drill/driver with a torque multiplier bolted to it. I wonder what that does to the impact force?
The harder the hit the better generally, but cordless sometimes substitutes speed of hits, these multipliers would slow that way down.

Don’t fully unscrew it and you should be fine. Removing it completely makes a lot of noise, especially with higher pressure truck, uhaul and suv tires.

You can just kick them if they’re rubber, sometimes it’sjusta little tear that wont even really make noise.

That’s the only redeeming quality of the Cybertruck. Its headlights are low in the bumper area.
Also it makes it easy to identify wannabe fascists.
