Bad Ass

All of it.

What a car!

I eat breakfast, same thing, every day, for 20 years.

It’s no harder than anything else, just get up early enough to do it.

Takes 30 minutes from start to cleaning my plates.

I also eat something like 7 times a day. More frequent, smaller meals are generally better for most people from a glucose stability perspective. Of course everyone is different, and only you know for sure what timing works for you.

Ok… And?

But someone getting a well-encrypted database is going to have a helluva time decrypting it.

Which is why we say use good encryption.

Cooks Country would like to disagree (as would basic chemistry): the alcohol is bound to the water, so you lose as much alcohol as total water lost to evaporation.

Basically while alcohol alone evaporates at a lower temp than water, when they’re bound (like in a wine) they evaporate together.

Yea, realistically the same amount of alcohol boils off as the water since they’re bound.

I do, but nearly all of them are awfully designed, especially on mobile.

On desktop the auto-hide makes scrollbars terrible - it’s one of the worst UI offenses in the last 20 years.

We’ve had wide screens for 20 years, yet now you fucktards decide to auto-hide the scrollbars with no way to turn off?

How about you let me decide the value of my screen real-estate?

Yes, they all work. 🤦🏼

They put a drug in it to make you crave it fortnightly!

Probably a combination of sugar and msg in different parts.

I find fast food burgers to be pretty boring - the flavor is kind of flat, simple.

My homemade ones are great because I use a spice mix for burgers (a copy of one Williams Sonoma used to sell, that has things like Worcestersher powder, garlic, onion, thyme, mustard powder, etc).

They’re all variations on the Subaru Brat, which was a variation on the El Camino - a variation on the Ranchero.

All of which have been derided by the car world from the start, unfortunately.

Ranchero and El Camino both had 500lb capacities - just like any 1/4 ton pickup.

Brat had a lot less.

The first Ridgeline had a 1700 lb capacity - that’s 3/4 ton truck territory, and all the “real truck” snobs looked down on it. And it was a unit-body SUV chassis.

These are all vehicles that fill a niche. It’s great to have this kind of vehicle where me and a couple friends can load up for mountain biking and then leave the dirty stuff in the bed for the drive home.

The current RAV4 surprised me when I rented one for a trip. Smooth, decent power, quiet. I could see it making a decent little truck.

Haha, thanks, I hadn’t even noticed!

I’m shocked with what I’ve been able to do with an old Dell SFF desktop.

Upgraded to 48GB of ram it’s running ESXi hosting a couple Debian VMs, a DietPi VM, 3 Windows VMs, a massive data drive, idles under 20w and peaks at 80w when I’m doing video conversion.

At this point I’m shopping for some old mini PCs to run the VMs as independent servers because their idle power is so low.

8 watts… That’s RPi territory but with lots more actual horsepower when needed, in a useful package.

I love the concept of the Pi, but this stuff is so hard to compete with.

This was just posted to selfhosted, and does a great job showing what RPi is competing with.

It’s a tool for seeing actual idle wattage draw for a lot of mini-PCs.

Many are in the single-digit idle power - the RPi claim to fame - but have a lot more capability than Pi, plus come in useful packages.

Just thought it would be a useful link for here.

cookie(n.) 1730, Scottish, but the sense is “plain bun,” and it is debatable whether it is the same word; in the sense of “small, flat, sweet cake” by 1808 (American English); this use is from Dutch koekje “little cake,” diminutive of koek “cake,” from Middle Dutch koke (see cake (n.)). “Dutch influence is no doubt responsible also for the parallel use of the word in South African English” [Ayto, “Diner’s Dictionary”].

Hahahaah, awesome

“Rebel” bwhahaha. Lemme guess, you just turned 14?

You need to read some history, like “The Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire” and Machiavelli.

Go build your own socialist/communist compound - you can do that in the US (generally, unless you piss off Hillary). Because no one’s ever thought of any of this before. (Yes, that’s sarcasm).

You’re also espousing ideas that would require a lot more of the population to get onboard with. And while life may not be “perfect”, I’ll be damned if I’m giving up any of what I do have for your pie-in-the-sky idealism.

Humanity has been on this path for thousands of years - go read the Code of Hammurabi to see exactly how little is different today from 7000 years ago.

It sounds to me like you’ve never worked on any large project - of you had, you’d know there are a million things that can’t be predicted, and that’s with much smaller agendas.

Er, wut?

My car is 20 years old, and not nearing need for replacement.

Our other car is 10 years old and like new still.

Replacing either one makes no sense.

“Could” isn’t the same as “easily”.
