AWD with a mini engine on each wheel.

why don’t all our cars look like catfish?

that’s really fucked up. don’t get me wrong, i’m not judging you, our culture has probably fucked me up the same way as you, i just dont happen to have kids. but not preparing kids for the real actual world is fucked up, and there is a serious disconnect with reality being instilled by our culture in them, and also in you to make that happen. my point is that it is a serious dysfunction in modem culture required to make happen.

everything my parents ever did.

that’s kind of awesome. the inverse of your story is what ive seen more often, the promotion that is more work for no more pay. both reflect the same corporate dysfunction.

laptop is just a more expensive desktop but it lets you do what you’d do on a desktop from the couch, bed, deck, coffee shop. it all depends on your habits.

note that this damage is not necessarily in the form of dissolving. it causes some plastics to develop fractures, as if you had dropped it. dont use iso on plastic unless you know it is a kind that it is safe for.

BTW, i just just want to plug for this fact: we are all totally brainwashed by marketing that we need special cleaners for each specific thing. dishsoap or some general purpose soap like Dr bronners and water works fine for just about everything.

I don’t remember what I did afterward anymore, but I did once have a laptop get wet getting caught in a downpour in backpack that wasnt waterproof. It needed a new power supply.

Funny, I just finally gave up on it just a few months ago and moved on Quod Libet.

…spilled his arithmetic overflow on the ground.

Then “your welcome” implies you might not be welcome. Seems like either both work or both are problematic, he can’t have it both ways.

The way you use caution saying something in a public place that you don’t want everyone to hear is by keeping your voice down so that only certain people can hear it. Without privacy settings there is no equivalent to that.

Check out JOOQ.

Does any of that explain the 404? An even 400ml is very close to 14 imperial ounces. 14.078. 404 makes it further off and a weird number in any units I’ve tried coverting it to.

You the NaN!

The thing is, some of the really bad cases still get modeling jobs, which says that someone thinks the bad cases actually look good.

Even some of the subtler cases look off to me, giving a certain distinctive artificial look. I don’t doubt that if you see it enough it starts to look natural, but to me that just makes it worse.

Isn’t Waze better, functionalitywise, than google maps? I dont think they are any better on ethical fronts, but still better to use the less powerful evil…

Fwiw there is low power heat tape you can buy to run along pipes to keep then from freezing. Had this on a pipe that ran through an attic and would freeze when the outside temp got extreme, despite heating the house.

Yes, it avoids the worst of stupid thumbnail patterns that the YouTube algorithm pressures people into. Yes, nobody is making an O face, and the title isn’t misleading. But this is still in a style shaped by those same pressures, and IS cringey to me. Titling something “I did such and such” and the visual style… does this not scream dumbed down for the algorithm to you? Five years ago you’d have wondered if this was targeted at children or something.

Listen, I understand why people who may have good quality content make compromises to reach more viewers. You might think i’m being excessively hard-ass about it, but in my opinion, playing ball with the algorithm just contributes to the problem. The fact that the style of this thumbnail has become so normalized that people can’t even see what I find objectionable, IMO, just demonstrates what a slippery slope this is.

I’m sorry I just can’t bring myself to watch a video whose thumbnail looks like that.
