Meh. Seems rather plane.

I'm pining for an answer to this question myself.

What Happened to Marco Rubio in c/[email protected]

Totally unfair comparison. Reek was tortured and had his balls forcibly cut off to become what he was.

Rubio was like that from the start.

A president that doesn't believe in civil rights and due process deserves neither.

Once the non-loyal judges are imprisoned, everyone else who isn't white and Republican will also be on the chopping block.

AI secretly helped write California bar exam, sparking uproar in c/[email protected]

The ACS questions were developed with the assistance of AI

I wish they would clarify this statement. There's a huge gap between, "Yeah, we pasted the questions into an LLM to check the grammar" and "Hey AI, generate some random Bar exam questions."

Sorry, Catholics and Indians... It's better for America if the curse of JD Vance stays outside the country.

Surely, you have some enemies other than us, yes? Send him there.

Catholics: Please do feel free to send him straight to hell 👍

"1.32 MB" Is that pronounced, "one-point-three-two" megabytes, or "one-point-thirty-two" megabytes? in c/[email protected]

Looks funny with a green hose and a yellow nozzle but a lot of bidet tools are just a spray nozzle on a (usually white-ish) hose. The nozzle is more of the kitchen sink variety but it's really not that different.

The real problem with this setup is the hose and nozzle are under the seat! No reason for that... Just keep it off to the side.

TL;DR: This setup will work fine. Maybe use a light touch on that handle though 😉

Texting my wife while she's traveling... 🧐 (programming.dev)
 

I have since learned that this "fact" isn't true... Turns out the source of that info wasn't understanding how tags work. There's actually just a lot of fanfics that include Astarion. Not necessarily for romance 🤷

It's still hilarious though 😁

Garage door opener now uses Cherry MX Blues (programming.dev)
 

Manufacturer wanted $25 (+shipping) for a replacement garage door opener wall switch. 13 minutes of printing + 5 minutes of soldering + two leftover Cherry MX Blue switches (that I'll be use) and the problem is solved 👍

Note: The wiring was slightly more involved than I thought... needed a resistor for the light (there's only two wires but it's got two functions: Light on/off and garage open/close.

If folks are interested I could make a much fancier PCB-based version with screw terminals and whatnot. It's a very trivial schematic.

Happy 30th Birthday "New Technology" File System! Thanks for 30 years of demonstrating Linux superiority with a gap that widens with every new kernel release 👍

I wasn't expecting to be joining a LotR meme community when I started this journey but I must say it does feel like you are my people. Maybe some day we will draw swords together.
