It’s cringe pretending to be humor.

Cooking and (basic) sewing. These are basic life skills needed for any level of independent living, yet so many are proud to be utterly incapable of either.

Technology Connections recently posted a detailed video about dehumidifiers that’s worth watching. But a key takeaway is that on an AC, the hot side is outside (making the inside cool), while in a dehumidifier they are directly next to each other (condensing the moisture).

Without looking into the specifics, my guess is that it’s not routing the cold air over the hot side to keep things inside the same temperature.

That’s part of the strategy. First, go after the small project that can’t defend itself. Use that to set a precedent that is harder for the bigger targets to overturn.

I would expect the bigger players to get themselves involved in the defense for exactly that reason.

Uber and the like have specific warnings about that, too. Of course, you can just ignore them and say you’re going to see someone else that’s in the ER.

You should take the hint.

Not OP, but mildly controversial was his movie Red State. It was a not-so-subtle take on the Westboro Baptist Church and their stance on gays.

Or maybe they’re still upset about Jersey Girl, which was way too common and wholesome for the guy behind Jay and Silent Bob.

(Hot take: if Jersey Girl didn’t have Smith or Carlin, it would’ve been mildly praised at the time and then mostly forgotten)

Correct about the greens. They used to be (might still be) the ones that ran at a lower RPM

I’m sure the history is that, for most daily purposes, it was useful to know both. Knowing the larger element (the month) first sets the context for the smaller detail. For instance, saying I met someone for dinner on December 12 gives you the broader context (e.g. the season, possible relevant events) before the smaller detail of the day.

This is full of weasel words. Here are just the ones that stood out to me:

• “Censorship”, which is just “free speech” with makeup.
• “Regular people”, implying that anyone disagreeing with you isn’t regular
• “Hysteria”
• “How bad things (are)”
• And of course, “trans agenda”

Everyone believes you are asking in bad faith, because it’s clear that you are.

(And as always, XKCD 1357 applies)

If you always come back to life, and you remember your previous lives, is it really death? How is it really different from going to sleep?

They often tie it to current offerings. So your plan may have unlimited 4G data for life, but won’t include anything faster/newer. So once you want/need 5G, you have to switch to a different plan.

Were it not for actual Trump, wannabe Trump was on track to win. It won’t take long for that to come back

Didn’t elect their own Trump wannabe yet.

Fascism is on the rise globally, so we must all be vigilant. There are enough warning signs that Canada could be just around the corner.

Your proposal is acceptable to them.

In some backwoods places, like the US, this could cost a few hundred dollars just to get a simple answer. Just like human medical care, many people simply cannot afford it.

Without exception, whenever someone is looking for “free speech”, this applies:

The issue is that, while x265 is more efficient, it’s not THAT much more efficient until you get to 4k or high bitrates. Encoders using x265 tend to be overly focused on file size, and prioritize it over video quality. And that sort of makes sense - x265 needs a lot more decoding power, and excludes a lot of otherwise capable devices. Why would you do that to only save a small percentage of the space needed?

My primary reason for using free ESXi has been career development. VMware was the biggest player at all of the biggest potential employers, so it made sense to be familiar with.

These days, they’re all looking to jump ship. Some are actively migrating, others won’t get there at all.

But all of them now value experience in alternatives at least as much, if not more than VMware.

I’m still using free ESXi, but the next time I rebuild (i.e. new hardware), it will not be ESXi.

Why would you ever think that dealing with Wells Fargo was going to be in your best interest?
