karpintero,

We have solar but found another option, push reel mowers was perfect for our small yard. It’s a bit more of effort if the grass is tall (we have UC Verde drought tolerant grass so I let it grow out to cut down on watering) but I don’t ever have to worry about batteries or gas/fumes/noise. Plus I get a workout and it was basically the only type of mower that’s still made domestically.

Can attest the Amish-made ones are built like tanks and run smooth (provided the grass is on the shorter side)

karpintero,

All the video games magazines would do an E3 issue and I remember binging on all the game announcements and event photos. Good times

karpintero,

Yep. Everytime

karpintero,

Awesome shot. What focal length/lens did you use?

karpintero,

Use libro.fm instead and part of your subscription goes to an independent bookstore of your choosing

karpintero,

Looks very relaxing and peaceful. Some of my favorite camping trips have been in the eastern Sierras.

Accidental cutaway of hole drilled with spade bit. Also is 2x3/4" plywood a good vise jaw idea? (lemmy.world)

I was checking to see how a 3/4" dog hole would look in a vise jaw made from two 3/4" pieces of plywood. Just clamped for the test, but would be glue for the real thing. Interesting to see the hole opened up. And luckily no splitting, but do you think it would work as an actual vise jaw? This is for a Veritas quick release front...

karpintero,

Depends on the type of work, but you may want something denser down the road if you find you’re cranking down on a narrow piece and it’s flexing. Even something with more plies like Baltic birch might give you more mass, but I’ve only ever used hardwoods for my vises so can’t say for sure.

Also recommend those cork/rubber jaw liners for added grip.

karpintero,

Thanks for the reminder. Personally, I avoid anything with AI as much as possible, so I made it a point to fill out the survey.

karpintero,

They just laid off 10% of their workforce (14k jobs) and slashed almost all new job postings to cut costs but they’re spending money on Twitter ads?

karpintero,

This is what I try to tell people who just want the cheapest things possible. We’re voting with our dollars what kind of world we want.

Also, shipping things across the sea burns some of the worst fuel for the environment so I’d rather buy things made here and support the local economy whenever possible.

karpintero,

MSFT has a $3T market cap and $60B of free cash flow each year, so I doubt they’re hurting for money. This is how “growth at all costs” incentivizes myopic decision-making and doesn’t really help foster an environment where studios are willing to take creative risks. Even when they succeed (a la Hi-Fi Rush) they’re on the perpetual chopping block.

karpintero,

Really comes in handy, especially if I have to inflate a two person pad. And it’s dual purpose as a dry bag/stuff sack means it’s useful the whole hike.

karpintero,

Erceg’s legit, could’ve gone his way if he kept it standing in the 5th. Pantoja ate that elbow/left hook like it was nothing, dudes an animal

karpintero,

86 -Eighty Six-. Been pretty good so far. I’m a fan of Hiroyuki Sawano’s music in general

karpintero,

Yeah, I agree. A-1 did a great job with it. Hoping for the same with Fate/strange Fake

Tesla Lays Off Entire Team Behind Brakes (www.theonion.com)

AUSTIN, TX—In the latest round of layoffs for the company’s struggling automotive division, electric vehicle manufacturer Tesla fired the entire team behind brakes, sources confirmed Wednesday. “As we continue to rightsize the Tesla workforce, we have come to the decision that stopping the car is no longer a critical...

karpintero,

Brakes just slow you down anyway…

karpintero,

“The layoffs will continue until morale improves”

karpintero,

100%, he delivered on that campaign promise. You can see the direct result in climate investment following the passage of these acts. In addition to protecting millions of acres of public land and strengthening existing regulations. I always find it disingenuous when people say both parties are the same, because one is actually trying to address climate change while the other is accelerating it.

karpintero,

$6.4B for HashiCorp on the heels of $4.6B for Apptio and $34B for Red Hat back in 2018. I wonder how long until they expect each of these acquisitions to be accretive?

karpintero,

That’s cool, I hope you can make it happen. My pipe dream is to build a small timber frame cabin for myself and a canoe to go with it. I’d also like to contribute more (time-wise and monetarily) to some non-profits/environmental causes I feel strongly about. And about a dozen or so half-finished fullstack projects I’d like to pick back up on. Oh and read a lot, maybe try writing.

Lately I’ve been investing more in my hobbies rather than socking it all away for retirement. I want to develop the skills for them now (before fitness and dexterity become an issue) and make use of them as I get older, even if it means delaying FIRE a bit. Plus it gives me something to look forward to during the week.

Counter Culture

karpintero,

Had the fortune of seeing them live. They were fantastic, highly recommend. Ron also brought up one his students to play a song with the band and you can tell he’s a great teacher too.

karpintero,

Oat milk is the best alternative I’ve found. Most places offer it so I switched to oat milk lattes and haven’t gone back.

If brewing at home, there are barista versions made specifically for coffee, but the original works too.

karpintero,

Recently moved over to porkbun after dealing with a couple billing issues with namecheap and not getting the best customer service. Been pretty happy so far.

karpintero,

Growing up watching Dragon Ball and DBZ is a fond memory and definitely a reason I got into anime like many others. Thanks for sharing your creativity with the world. RIP Toriyama-san.

karpintero,

Fate Samurai Remnant. Enjoyed beating it a few weeks ago and starting up NG+ to see the alternate routes.
