Not from a bar directly, but on the walk back from the bars. I picked up a brick paver. They had just finished laying everything down in the courtyard of a new building and there was 1 brick sitting there. I looked for spot to drop that brick into close by, but I didn’t see a spot. So I carried it home!

Manheim Steamroller put out a Summer Song album that has some great rain sounds with relaxing music.

3-6 months is plenty. At the 6 months mark you take literally any job you can get and then keep looking for one that you want. The other site had a pretty good personal finance community. Their flowchart does a great job of summarizing things. https://i.imgur.com/lSoUQr2.jpeg

My mom had one for 20 years before the motor finally gave up. Got a new one of the same model to replace it and it’s still going 15 years later.

I’ve got a Miele canister vacuum and it has way more options than I really need, but man is it easy to work with just like the Oreck was. The nice part with the canister is that I can use it for anything. Except water. Get the ShopVac for that.

Probably at some point in the past yes. Now they’ve been combined with Singer and a few other brands under these guys https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SVP_Worldwide?wprov=sfla1 who in turn are owned by an equity group so expect the enshitification to really ramp up.

Moto X (2013) has a 360 demo movie on it. It was alright and neat to spin around in your chair to follow the action, but at the same time I could have sat still and the camera moved.

The local newspapers in my area send each candidate in every race a form of question that they then print. Typically it is very easy to tell which candidates understand what the that form is, there are those that don’t understand, and then there are ones that don’t return it. It’s makes choosing much easier for me. I’ll still pull of websites and check past news articles for each one I am considering.

Support your local newspapers!

Even heavy gamers are getting a much better experience on Linux these days (yay Proton!). There are a couple of anti-cheat systems that are still trouble some, but honestly if the developers don’t want to to put in the much smaller amount of effort to make it work on Linux, I don’t want to give them my money.

No clue what you’re talking about. I’ve got an SMA connector on the back of my TV. The did government subsidized conversation boxes. It worked about the same as a VCR. Tune the TV to a specific channel and then use the convertor as the tuner. That by no means caused TVs no to longer than SMA connectors. That was due to TV manufacturers also having their fingers in streaming services. Gotta love that vertical integration!

HDHomeRun is one of the common brands. They have a couple that can even demodulate ATSC 3.0.

I updated an internal library from 77 to 90 last week. We’re working quickly these days!

If these CVEs didn’t expose a router that doesn’t get updates, many others already have. OpenWRT might be more secure than OEM firmware.

They have the option of going to an academy or enlisting and then using the GI bill for college. About half of enlistees use the GI bill (https://www.brookings.edu/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/ES-10.13.20-Kofoed-2.pdf) and all officers are expected to have a bachelor’s degree.

Check out FidoNet for another example of federation.

Really? I find python imports to work very similar to cpp in practice.

That’s the latest guidance. Manufactures are free to do whatever they want though.

Suck MY wang!

You are commenting on a LemmyNet post from the shit just works instance. I am replying from a LemmyNet account on lemmy.world. It could also happen that someone from a Mastodon instance could reply to this comment. Everyone can have their account on a specific instance (even self-hosting their own instance) and still be able to see content from other websites. There is no singular website that hosts all data and there is no singular authority (ok maybe you could argue the developers of the software, but it’s also open source and other options do exist so it’s not a true single point of authority) for the entire network.

Content and data is shared between instances.

The back log is great and still very watchable.
