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

First one, and Firefox.

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 2 days 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 2 days 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 2 days 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).

You gonna pay me a billion dollars to work at your startup? No? Then shut the fuck up, you wannabe-slaver asshole!

Thanks, now I have a plan for trolling my kid’s future kindergarten teacher.

How is this not illegal in the EU?
- Comment on Costco changed the bag to plastic!! 1 week 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!! 1 week 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 1 week 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 1 week 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 1 week 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^.
- Comment on Is anyone else not feeling that patriotic for July 4? 1 week ago:
I’m surprised there aren’t massive protests scheduled for July 4.

At least most cars these days no longer inflict burst fire damage when you touch the metal seatbelt buckle, like they used to.

Look up the story of the Citycorp Center in Manhattan; that’s always a fun one.

My initial impression of Moonstone Island is that it’s kind of like a cross between Stardew Valley and Pokemon. Does that sound about right?

Wasn’t JPEG XL sabotaged by patents or something?
- Comment on spicy one 2 weeks ago:
Well, now you’ve piqued my curiosity. Got a link?
The Wikipedia article I’m reading right now says that the Indian plate split from Gondwana 100 MY ago (33 MY before the Chicxulub impact), so that’s not the connection. Further down the page, it says that the plate movement might have sped up as it passed over the mantle plume from the impact that created the Deccan Traps (my interpretation, BTW; the science isn’t actually as settled as I’m making it out to be), but it seems to me that that wouldn’t change the “result” of the plate colliding with Asia and creating the Indian Subcontinent, only the timing of the collision.
- Comment on Us? 2 weeks ago:
Fun fact: Smartwater bottles are popular with ultralight backpackers because they’re cheap, lightweight, and durable enough to survive an entire Appalachian Trail thru-hike.
In other words, it’s fucking ridiculous that they’re sold as single-use plastics.
- Comment on spicy one 2 weeks ago:
Considering that we’re in the midst of the Anthropocene mass extinction event already, I’d say it would be a certainty. The only question would be how bad it would get. Given how much larger that crater would be than Chicxulub, I’m guessing it would exceed the “Great Dying” to take the crown.
- Comment on spicy one 2 weeks ago:
See my last paragraph here. TL;DR: it might indeed do that, but only in the vacuous truth sense that no humans societies would be left to make war.
