Hanta Montana?

They will copy the slur into the text completion machine anyway to get a explanation, a summerized list of arguments along with their thoughts.

A slur is just being efficient.

As long as they manage to find food and don’t dry out, basically forever. My Nepenthes likes constantly slightly moist soil, so the gnats took a liking to it. At some point it got rather annoying, so I applied SF nematodes. Since then I see maybe one gnat per week.

The gnats are not gone, but they now regulate themselves, so they stopped being a problem.

Electronics are mostly solid state and are therefore virtually wear-free.

If it’s designed well, they could actually be more reliable than pushing fluids through tubes. But pushing fluids through tubes is already pretty fucking reliable.

I think the main point is to eliminate rusting brake discs from EVs, which rely largely on regenerative braking anyway. I know mine are constantly crusty; like I can always hear them scraping for the first few hundred meters of driving. Which is prolly not great.

I really liked the trend of rating notbooks for MIL-STD-810.

MIL-STD-810 itself does not require equipment manufacturers to actually perform the tests defined in it, nor does it require that anything passes those tests.

Amazing.

I use the T14s G6, running Fedora Silverblue, as my only PC. I bought it mainly for its AMD 880M iGPU, which just hits the performance I need for the few games I still play, as well as its mobility so I can blender on the go (and because I got fed up with the seemingly endless hiccups from my ASUS G14).

It’s good. No issues I know of. The display is a bit slow even for a 60Hz panel, but the battery life is stellar (probably also because of the slow panel).

However, if it’s static, as you say, I’m not sure if a small desktop PC wouldn’t be the better choice overall. After all, modern ThinkPads are pretty expensive.

The craziest thing for me is how some people cling to propaganda, even when it doesn’t match their lived reality.

A friend of mine still insists that electric cars are [insert any cliché you know], and that they can’t make it up a hill once the battery is even slightly drained.

…

We’ve been on several road trips in an electric car.

With four dogs in a trailer.

All across Germany and even the Czech Republic.

And we (another friend who owns the electric road-trip car and me with my “city”-car) charge it at home, where we have a solar system and a heat pump.

And yet, every now and then “this can’t work”. The dissonance is real.

I’m for the centralized ‘pump it to the treatment plant’ idea. I know several people that just flush their dryer lint down the toilet.

*a whore moan?

Edit: Guys, please. It’s vitamin D. Vitamin D! Please! My joke is funny, I swear! :'(

I find the expectation of a 24 hour news cycle terrible. The issue is seemingly not resolved, still relevant and still actionable. And even if something is resolved, sometimes it’s still relevant, even just as a retrospective.

The whole “nothing should be older than a day” mentality feels like the news-cycle equivalent to watching subway surfer with jiggling keys while playing cookie clicker in order to listen to a podcast.

That’s when the 80:20 rule comes to rescue.

Sadly I like the mechanical ULPs. I only know of Corsair and Cherry using them.

My K7 pro liked to reset itself to factory settings (including the tacky/gamery rainbow wave animation) when I plugged it into my firewall and sometimes for no reason at all.

I’m using a Cherry ULP Mini now. It has a lot less features, which I like. Also it got the best switches I’ve ever had. Wish more keyboards used them.

I use the apostrophe whenever I’m too lazy to type the proper letter. Like:

‘’‘’’ ‘’‘’’ ‘’‘’ ‘’’ ‘’

‘’‘’’ ‘’‘’’ ‘’’ ‘’’ ‘’‘’

‘’‘’’ ‘’‘’’ ‘’’ ‘’‘’‘’ ‘’’ ‘’‘’‘’ ‘’’

Is the issue solved and doesn’t require any action anymore?

YSK: Cellulose can be made extremely durable and water resistent. The wallet I’ve been using for a decade now is made of cellulose. The stitching was kinda bad from the start, so I’ve had to repair it once. But the material itself is still holding stong. And it feels nice and is very grippy.

This just reminded me of a classmate from my teens who once said, in all seriousness, “Hitler didn’t just do bad things”.

And I replied, “Uh, yeah”. And in my mind, searching for something good he did, went like ‘he built the Autobahn’ immediately followed up with ‘well, that didn’t turn out to be the best idea either’, and by then the moment had kinda passed, and I couldn’t casually say “Well, actually […]”.

Man, politics as a teenager was wild.

Fingerabdrücke.

Would you concede that there is a difference between an hobbyist making minor adjustments to a image and a multibillion-dollar company that’s promoting a solution that effectively replaces the entire image with a new a one and that creating a ecosystem depentend on such a solution may go the same way PhysX did?

Do you guys turn your graphics settings to lowest to make sure not to interfere with “artistic vision”?

This such a bad take and demonstrates a total disregard for the role of technical artists and design.

Anti-aliasing aims to overcome an inherent limitation a raster (of pixels) may present, in oder to bring the actual result closer to an artist’s vision. The same can be said for any other technique. The common denominator is, that they all attempt to bring a artistd vision for their work closer to reality.

DLSS5, on the other hand, brings the result closer to Nvidias vision of what “good” looks like. And I think it looks bland and badly photoshopped and I want to see more good looking games.
