I wish they’d hide more from me, specifically shorts and the “you may be interested in <sports thing/news thing/current event>”. It seems like no matter how many times I click not interested they keep coming back up. And I can’t hide shorts on AppleTV without going to the website and then they just pop back up every 30 days.
Acetone smoothing is mainly for FDM prints made from ABS or ASA and works because those plastics are readily soluble in acetone.
For resin prints acetone can be used as a substitute for or additive to IPA when cleaning off excess resin before curing. There’s even some evidence that it works better than IPA alone for this purpose. Although, if you leave a resin print in the acetone too long it can cause some discoloration and make the part more brittle.
It’s not “assumed to be secure.” The source code being publicly available means you (or anyone else) can audit that code for vulnerabilities. The publicly available issue tracking and change tracking means you can look through bug reports and see if anyone else has found vulnerabilities and you can, through the change history and the bug report history, see how the devs responded to issues in the past, how they fixed it, and whether or not they take security seriously.
Open source software is not assumed to be more secure, but it’s security (or lack thereof) is much easier to verify, you don’t have to take the word of the dev as to whether or not it is secure, and (especially for the more popular projects like the ones you listed) you have thousands of people with different backgrounds and varying specialties within programming, with no affiliation with and no reason to trust the project doing independent audits of the code.
Plenty of other dictators were way more effective mass murderers. I’d argue Hitler was middling at best.
I think outside of highly formalized writing (usually found exclusively in academia) grammar only matters to the extent that it doesn’t interfere with the voice of the author.
It matters because it makes things easier to read. A wall of text with no punctuation or capitalization is difficult to parse, both for the reader and for the writer if they need to go back and make changes.
On the other hand, punctuation can be used incorrectly to convey things that might be part of how the author speaks. Examples being: using ellipsis to indicate trailing off at the end of a sentence, perhaps because you’re still trying to find words to finish the thought, or using parentheses to indicate a slight tangent or clarifying statement, or failing to use a period at the end of a text message to indicate a softer tone and an openness to a response.
Capitalization and misspellings can be used similarly. Such as intentionally misspelling a word to indicate that it should be pronounced differently than usual, or capitalizing all or part of a word to add emphasis.
TLDR: Proper grammar matters for clearly conveying information, but intentionally breaking grammatical rules is a good way to add your voice, personality, and tone into your writing. And that is more important than being technically correct.
Cold. 65F (19C) should be a once in an absolutely never heatwave. Average annual temperatures should be closer to 0F than 0C. Fuck the heat, fuck the Summer, and fuck that stupid ball of plasma it rode in on.
Bring back snowball earth.
The article mentions that previously they used pig cadavers with dyes and specially marked tissues to guide the robot. While it doesn’t specify exactly what the “lifelike patient” is, to me the article reads like they’re still using a pig cadaver just without those aids.
I usually just put my entire library from my Plex server on shuffle and listen to whatever comes up. Which is usually a lot of nu-metal, alt-rock, folk music, j-pop, rap, and j-rock.
Sometimes though I’ll have something specific I want to listen to, recently that’s been a lot of Colm R. McGuinness (over on YouTube) specifically his WH40K songs, but also all of his other stuff. He makes some great music and I’d recommend checking him out.
Not currently medicated for ADHD (though I am diagnosed), but I take modafinil for a shift-work related sleep disorder. It also helps with the ADHD. On the days when I take it, I find myself able to focus and get things done.
During high school and my early twenties i was on Adderall XR and IR. That was much more effective and the only reason I’m not still doing that is because my job has travel requirement to countries where those medications and similar are illegal.
It’s one reason among a few that I’m currently looking for a new job.
“Abstinence is ideal, but you’re teenagers so we all know you’re going at it like rabbits so wear a condom. Now here’s a slideshow of late stage STDs to show you what happens if you don’t.”

Every time I see the word “females” in contexts like this I imagine the person writing the post is a Ferengi pretending to be human.
Speaking from personal experience, 9F won’t kill you, at least not quickly, and it’s pretty easy to put on enough clothes that you can spend entire work days outside being comfortably warm. I used to work outdoors regularly in Alaskan winters and except for days where it got down to around -20F I was usually able to keep warm just by having proper attire.
You can’t really do that at 100F. Sure, it probably won’t kill you if you stay hydrated, but it will never be comfortable.
I think they also did the opening and closing for Call of the Night, but of which are also great.
Also, related to proper use of turn signals, you should signal well in advance of your turn. The rule of thumb I learned was your signal should be on for three seconds of before you turn, assuming you’re currently in motion. Additionally, you should actually use your turn signal. Far too many people seem to be scared of the blinken lights. There is no reason not to use your turn signal.
If you’re turning and think you have a reason not to use your turn signal, you’re wrong. Fucking Signal.
Do you like shrimp? Lobster? Crab? You’ll probably like bugs.
Needless to say, I will continue to feast upon the arthropods.
Ah yes, the infamous “stinky cheese” email virus. Who knew zip bombs could be so destructive. It erased all of the easter eggs off of my DVDs.
Depends on the details. If their crime hurt someone innocent (or had a high likelihood to) and it was intentional, yes.
If I’m likely to go down with them if they get caught, yes.
Otherwise, I ain’t no snitch and even if I were I don’t know anything about nothing.
I’m far from an expert on the topic, but I’ve worked around the military for a while, and have had some conversations with some more knowledgeable people about this.
Basically, it’s any kind of military work that isn’t affiliated with a government. On the more benign side of things that would be stuff like private armed security, the French Foreign Legion, or working as a contractor for companies that do physical pen-testing for military installations.
It could also mean working as a contractor for a group like Blackwater, where you are engaging in some likely shady military operations where the government wants some sort of deniability, which (IMO) crosses the line fully into the malign.
Really only a handful of things:
navigation while traveling - don’t need it much, if at all at home, but I travel often enough for work that losing that capability would be painful.
MFA - authenticator apps are the most convenient way to do MFA. SMS/email are terrible options for this and should only be used if there is absolutely no other option.
Access to the internet while away from home, both while traveling and while out and about
Music playback in the car
Communication - most of my friends don’t use SMS/voice to talk, instead preferring Discord or Signal
Basically everything else I do on my phone could be done from a more proper computer with minimal inconvenience.
