A left handed measuring tape is really nice in theory but actually it often ends up being kind of backwards to how you'd want it if holding the tape in your right hand and pencil in left. I've actually heard some right handed carpenters prefer left handed tapes for that reason.

Yes, though I've managed to train myself to twist the knife slightly in the 'wrong' direction while cutting to counteract the way it naturally wants to cut. Similar to how you can use right handed scissors left handed if you pull with your thumb and push with your fingers instead of letting them do the natural motion while cutting.

You may not like it but this is what peak performance looks like

How old are they? We bought an LG TV 1 or 2 years ago and it has a lot of online features and keeps prompting me to make an account and accept various terms and conditions for their advertising or to let them listen to the microphone and such. I think it's mostly optional but they don't make it easy to opt out

the newer chemistries like lithium iron phosphate are much more stable and not prone to thermal runway apparently. They are not as energy dense as lithium ion but that doesn't matter so much for a non-mobile application.

I scrolled a bit too fast and the top half of the cat went off screen then I thought it was melting icecream dripping down the side of the couch 😂

Ie read that the cables don't reach and you end up having to take up 2 spots normally. Not sure if it's because you have to park one slot over or if you have two park half way between spots though.

Hmm haven't seen that yet personally but I'm sure YouTube is always trying things to get around adblockers and probably A/B testing it on various accounts or countries. You could try making sure unlocks rules/definitions are up to date.

Unrelated but I also have been using sponsor block which skips over in-video sponsors which is nice. Though it's community updated so very new videos might not have the sponsor segments marked yet.

FTL. At least until you've beaten the game several times

Me too, and I remember in the mid 2000's before flat screens took off the biggest CRT you could get was 36", or there may have been a 40" but it was ultra expensive. One thing though is that the wider aspect ratio of modern tvs inflates the size number if you were to watch 3:4 aspect shows on a modern tv you are losing a bunch of viewing area on the sides.

Regardless, modern tvs are indeed insanely huge, and I'm loving it.

Cool though still a bit confusing, like what's a "Device file"? Also so many of those are so similar in use like /usr and /sbin. Why would one be used over another?

 
 

I've noticed recently that as I'm paging through lemmy in firefox if a video is posted it will start auto-playing with the volume maxed. I don't mind it autoplaying before I get there but it's very annoying to have a page load and suddenly getting blasted with unexpected sound.

an example post that does this: https://lemmy.ca/post/22495123

 

Just saw these guys in Miramichi, New Brunswick this weekend when we were visiting for the eclipse and quite enjoyed their show. A mix of their own music (like this song), traditional irish/scottish music and covers of some local artists like Stan Rogers and Great Big Sea

Tried our hand at making deep dish pizza for new years. Turned out quite good but I'm no expert so I can't say how accurate it was. I am told the toppings are supposed to all go under the sauce but I couldn't resist putting some pepperoni on top
