A cup of coffee and my work computer

And the audiobook version needs to have a pdf/png of the map as part of the download.

“Failure is always an option” -Adam Savage.

This means 2 things to me. 1st, it’s okay to fail, you don’t need to be perfect at everything all the time. I know this one logically but still sometimes manage to let fear of failure prevent me from trying new stuff. 2nd, you learn so much more from failing than you do from succeeding. Scientists have long talked about having a Journal of Negative Results. It’s just as important to share what works as it is to share what doesn’t work, so others don’t waste time/money repeating an experiment that you already know first hand won’t work.

Dude the stumbleupon button really takes me back. That was a huge part of my childhood internet experience.

And when it’s over, like a vulture defending on a carcass, we will see Spirit Halloween swoop in.

Its totally fine to book focus time for yourself to prevent getting over booked and loosing time to actually get your daily tasks done.

ChatGPT is OpenAI, not Anthropic, but your point stands.

Samsung appliances are fucking trash. When we bought our house it came with a Samsung washer and dryer. I was constantly repairing the stupid dryer, and the washer coin trap would drain directly into the pedestal anytime I tried to clean it. we sold them a month ago and bought a new set from a different manufacturer.

*this is a lie.

I drive past an Anduril building on my commute. I’ve always assumed they are a defence contractor but I’ve never bothered to look.

super aside, the text to speech in R.e.p.o doesn’t pronounce parentheses but it does for square and curly brackets, which you can type really fast and then annoy your friends with minute long voice lines.

Palworld is basically live action pokemon with guns and crafting/survival mechanics, and just launched 1.0 a couple of days ago. Nintendo sued Palworld’s dev’s over IP infringement during early access for the capture mechanism used in the game (throwing spheres at pals). Here’s a quick summary of the lawsuit and where it stood about a month ago. https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/palworld-lawsuit-nears-end-with-nintendo-reportedly-poised-to-gain-almost-nothing/

The intent of this post is to show that Nintendo’s policy of not releasing 1st party games on other consoles/PC has hurt them in the long run, as shown by the player count of Palworld right now.

I think Phillips would looks weird on an outlet cover plate, and the aesthetics of a flathead look the best. But for sure everywhere else it’s the worst screw head type

It may be a separate issue to drivers, because I have this other issue where after waking up from sleep, I have to either reboot or physically remove the USB port and plug it back in to make the USB work. I’ve disabled “allow windows to put this device to sleep” for every single USB titled thing in device manager, so I’m not sure what the issue is. I plan on installing a small linux partition at some point to play around and see if I like it.

I took the working hard drive, OS and all, from my previous laptop and slotted into the framework. No OS installation needed.

Getting the framework driver’s was painful. I needed to download them over wifi, but wifi wasn’t working because it needed the driver. okay, download on another computer and install via USB, nope. USB drivers aren’t working either. I ended up spotting my hard drive into my desktop, downloading the drivers that way, and then moving it back to the framework laptop to install.

My anecdotal experience - my Asus gaming laptop died about 6 months ago. with a lot of trouble shooting, I determined it was most likely the mobo. I decided to go with a framework, and was able to bring over my hard drive and ram, saving me like $400.

100%. I turned 30 and somehow that flipped a switch and now it’s one of my favorite hobbies

Except that my 6 is still functioning just fine. battery still lasts the whole day, it doesn’t feel sluggish with normal usage, and I just replaced the case like a month ago. I have no reason to upgrade for at least another year.

Biology/organic chemistry don’t tend to do straight lines. Inorganic chemistry fucking loves order and straight lines.
