Maybe they should give away some T-shirts to advertise their non-affiliation.

As everyone knows, every student is only allowed to have relationships with people in the school they attend. If for some reason, they have an illicit relationship with someone outside of the educational institute, said partner or friend is required, BY LAW, to not attend, acknowledge, offer support, or even be within 100 yards of the student that is protesting at their educational institute, in case there arises a need to round up, beat and arrest the offending individual.

Certainly, NYPD should not have expected unaffiliated people to be in that crowd, and the simple existence of such people will certainly confuse and annoy NYC officials to whom these obvious facts would be known.

Thank god we have such intelligent and trustworthy individuals making decisions that affect democracy and the rule of law in this land. God save America.

I agree. I love the ability to rent something away from the tourist areas that isn’t a hallway full of slamming doors and cleaning staff. But it’s hell on the housing market.

Maybe a limited amount of permits with a regulated price/quality, and the demand will quickly limit the bookings. I’d rather wait a year or two for my preferred accomodation than stay in the usual suspects.

Tourism is a double edged sword. It’s nice to get free money from outside, but once the corpos get involved, the local economic benefit fades quickly.

Since KDE changed to dbl-click by default, the only thing I change is Numlock on boot. 10 seconds to fix, and I know it’ll stay changed because KDE is allergic to removing user settings.

Look, we knew Fedora wasn’t going to drop Gnome. Gnome is almost entirely a Redhat project, it’s there for the paying corporate market so it doesn’t confuse the drones by offering “choices”, and Fedora is the proving ground of any changes that might affect said drones. I can’t even argue with the logic.

Lots of Plasma-Fedora distros out there, like the spin and Nobara/bazzite that frankly are better starting places for most power users anyway, since you don’t have to get around the repo/codec issues yourself.

Yah, that’s what I meant by “the spin”. Can’t say I’ve used it recently, and I imagine it has the same lack of non-free repos as the parent, so the others are less trouble and work fine. Heck, Nobara’s had V6 included for a few weeks now.

Hmm, I’ve never heard of this before. It seems pretty mature and robust. It even passes Kerberos tickets across SSH for authenticating file access for an sshfs mount or remote login. Seems like a better way to centralize authentication than NFS at first glance.

Thanks for the rabbithole.

Since they say they’re putting them out from 48V to 800V, 48V is what most inverter systems use, so I imagine they’re targetting that size for “consumers” at the single-house PV system size. If the cycle counts and low temperature charging characteristics come true, they will be popular.

American manufacturers like this like to shoot themselves in the foot by pricing their new and innovative battery technology at the datacenter customer size, find out they have no market, use up all their capital, then sell the tech to a big Chinese company like BYD or CATL. So once they’ve complete this lifecycle, I’d expect a couple more years before they’re readily available to actual consumers. Probably expect to see them then at about LFP prices, like $90/kWh wholesale price.

So, here’s a thought. Instead of removing customization, people just, you know, not customize things. It’s like going into the Settings page, except instead of doing that, you don’t do that.

Problem solved.

Probably better starting on FreeCAD as a beginner because if you have experience with other CAD packages, using FreeCAD requires a major paradigm shift. I started a newbie friend on it with no other experience, and he’s way further ahead on it than I am, because I just can’t wrap my head around it with my preconceptions of CAD.

So educate me about Onshape. It looks like another Fusion360 where all your work is locked into their cloud service and when they decide to start charging you for it, you’re up the creek.

I have a very robust distrust of these SAAS companies and don’t climbing a learning curve that’s going to end in a product I can’t afford one day. Even if a foss product is no longer developed, I have a version that works with my files forever.

Rudy Guliani Blows Past the $43,000 Budget He Committed to in Bankruptcy Proceedings (www.nytimes.com)

That amount would cover, among other expenses, $5,000 in alimony payments to his ex-wife Judith Giuliani, $1,050 for food and housekeeping supplies and $425 for “personal care products and services.” He was also obliged to cover $13,500 in monthly nursing-home expenses for his former mother-in-law; she died in March....

Google Search is getting even worse for independent sites (www.theverge.com)

In February, HouseFresh managing editor Gisele Navarro called out publishers like BuzzFeed and Rolling Stone as some of the culprits that publish content about air purifiers despite a lack of expertise — but Google rewards these sites with high rankings all the same. The result is a search results page filled with SEO-first...

1995-2010 were the halcyon days. I miss the shit out of the web back then. And I’ve been around long enough that I set up some of the first mail relays and usenet mirrors when I was a teen, besides having one of the largest BBSs in Canada.

I was pre-diabetic for 2 blood tests, despite a nutritionist’s help and starting some mild drugs. Went keto with plenty of green veg in it, and within 3 months I had my fasting glucose at the low end of normal and lost 40 lbs in about 6 months, to get to mid-normal BMI.

I might have actually made my doctor change his mind about carbs, because there was a distinctly different conversation after the blood tests came back clean the third time. LDL and triglycerides were all in normal ranges and he was convinced they were going to go apeshit, and coronary artery calcium (that’s a leading indicator of heart attack risk) dropped in half.

It all sounded like bullshit when I had a friend go keto and fix his issues, and I resisted for about 5 years and kept getting fatter and mild chest pain. I finally caved when the blood tests were showing me heading for insulin, and I’m glad I did.

I’m not sure why we’re sitting here with health pyramids, nutritionists, doctors and organizations like the ADA still promoting grains and starches, but they’re fucking terrible for you and it’s obvious as hell. Diabetes is an epidemic and it’s because carbs have become the vast majority of people’s diets.

Oh, and acid reflux is a thing of the past. I’d wake up in the middle of night with the taste of vomit and coughing it out of my lungs. Done.

AM radio law opposed by tech and auto industries is close to passing | Ars Technica (arstechnica.com)

A controversial bill that would require all new cars to be fitted with AM radios looks set to become a law in the near future. Yesterday, Senator Edward Markey (D-Mass) revealed that the “AM Radio for Every Vehicle Act” now has the support of 60 US Senators, as well as 246 co-sponsors in the House of Representatives, making...

I disabled the emergency alerts on my phone because my provincial govt was using it like their personal Twitter account, and I can’t stand listening to the radio. I guess I’m going to find out when the tsunami just rolls over me.

I built an autosteer called AgOpenGPS for our tractors that pretty much does this. Cost about $1000 per unit. We still sit in the tractor because there’s a hell of a lot going on besides steering the tractor, but it will drive the entire field without intervention.

5% of Canada’s forest burned last year, and Quebec City was running around shutting down pizza ovens because of “particulates”.

Jesus, the level of bikeshedding that goes on is astounding.

True, but could you imagine if he went completely off the rails after a ruling like that? Sets up a guillotine in front of Congress and starts marching Republicans out one after one.

I’d watch the fuck out of that on Pay-per-view.
