You just know getting that to happen was the absolute peak crowning achievement of some bureaucrat’s career.

He couldn’t have been arrested for copyright infringement; that offense was perpetrated by the entity that sold the thing to him, not himself.

In my opinion your best bet is a locally licensed electrician or better yet, one who is also an amateur.
Wait, is he supposed to hire a pro or not? You can’t have it both ways!

Thanks, I remember reading that a long time ago but hadn’t been able to find it again since.

Huh. I just kinda assumed Norway would use the Euro, but TIL it’s not even a member of the EU. Weird.

As a DS9 fan, to me that sounds way meaner than you probably intended.

The other day I found one that I’m pretty sure somehow removed the earlier entries from the back button list.

Considering wiring up something with an arduino and appifying my meat without any proprietary tech.
I had the same thought and went with a HeaterMeter, although I haven’t finished building it yet.
- Comment on What sort of grill needs a firmware update lol 1 week ago:
There’s a universe where I attach some electronic controller with a PID loop or something to a smoker, to maintain consistent temperatures via damper control. I’m not buying that off the shelf built into the machine though.
I really ought to finish putting together my HeaterMeter.

Hank is wrong. If all you care about is the “heat,” you might as well go inside and cook on your stove!

Fuckwads who thinks like that shouldn’t be granted copyrights.
- Comment on The Steam controller was ahead of its time 1 week ago:
You can download an stl for the battery cover.
The hackability and first-party endorsement thereof was another big underappreciated feature of the Steam Controller.

The idea behind a jar is that you’re saving up the grease to reuse later.
- Comment on Breaking the generational barriers 1 week ago:
Eh, a small mason jar is tough enough to handle a few tablespoons of bacon grease or whatever without shattering. But sure, if you’ve got a lot of grease at once, let it cool down first (or better yet, refrigerate the pot roast or whatever it is you’ve made, so that you can just pull the grease off the top of the pot in one hardened puck).

- Comment on Costco changed the bag to plastic!! 2 weeks ago:
It depends what they’re tweaking and why. For example, a lot of stuff is tweaked to become “Roundup ready,” and facilitating the mass use of glyphosate is dangerous.
- Comment on Costco changed the bag to plastic!! 2 weeks ago:
You’re right: plastic is just as recyclable now as it was before.
Which is to say, it continues to largely fail to be recyclable.
- Comment on The driver for my mouse occupies over 1 gb 2 weeks ago:
Only thing it didn’t have like the Basilisk was BT functionality, which in my use case wasn’t a deal breaker.
Batteries are kind of a deal-breaker for me anyway. If I were to get a wireless mouse, it would have to be the kind that’s powered by induction from the mouse pad.
- Comment on The driver for my mouse occupies over 1 gb 2 weeks ago:
I also like my Redragon mouse, a “Griffin M602A-RGB”. I picked it entirely because (a) the shape fits my hand well, with well-sculpted indentations for my thumb, ring, and pinky fingers, and (b) it’s cheap, but not so cheap it isn’t still decent.
- Comment on garbage garbage garbage 2 weeks ago:
Never mind the bird; everything else about this is fucking ridiculous! I’m talking about both the concept of sending the waste to be composted that far to begin with, and doing do in a truck instead of a train. It’s stupidity^2^.
