beats dealing with android studio

It’s been years since I went near Android for this reason, I’ve had some decent ideas for stuff I’d like to do on mobile but was so turned off on developing for the entire platform. Maybe I’ll have to take a look at some of the new frameworks.

My trouble is I would prefer to write in an embedded style C/C++ for the agricultural stuff I want to do, and all this Java/JS stuff and heavy focus on fancy UX is really not my vibe.

Hah you got it, I used to be a “Chevy guy” when it came to domestic trucks but this was the truck that finally made me say enough, it’s riddled with embarrassing faults and bad design decisions in every system. The Ford truck we also have is an example of new tech that works well and the Chevy just can’t compare.

Simply the stronger it is, the less you need to move, and the easier it is to smuggle.

Then you just cut it back to “standard” strength or attempt to do so. This is a big reason fentanyl displaced heroin, and why you see otherwise undesirable drugs like carfentanyl out there that are even stronger.

Exact same thing happening in Canada. Our systems are all strained to the breaking point, no housing, no jobs, no doctors, degrading infrastructure and nobody with the skills to maintain it. Nobody is even developing these skills thanks to a stagnant education system that rewards mediocrity.

And our population continues to skyrocket due to unrestrained immigration, depressing wages and pushing unemployment to historic highs.

Canada was built by immigrants. But I don’t care what colour someone’s skin is, they will not find Canada very welcoming right now. If this country can’t even offer a future to those who were born here, how can it welcome others?

Hopefully you don’t do much driving in the dark, the backlight on our new work truck’s console display glows so brightly even with the display “off” that it ruins your night vision.

Modern would be fine if even half a moment of thought went into non-typical situations, but it’s always some stupid oversight like this. Or the 5000k LED dome lights with a visible PWM frequency. Literally painful.

I prefer to drive with old incandescent dash lights dimmed to nearly nothing, yes I live in a very dark area with no lighting and many road hazards. On a moonless night, the area lit by the headlights is literally all you can see. We run extra lightbars, turning lights etc.

More light outside the truck, not inside. That’s my rant

For the readers that don’t realize exactly how old school, Sam & Fuzzy has been around since the dialup era.

It’s been through just about every phase a comic can go through, he used to write decade-long story arcs, lately he seems to be enjoying drawing simple cute dog comics. I suppose a guy needs a break sometimes from a career like that!

If he follows through he’ll be in on round 2 of the rapture I guess

You don’t understand Kessler Syndrome. Starlink satellites are in an orbit that requires maintenance or it decays rapidly. These orbits are used on purpose as they are “self-cleaning”.

Kessler Syndrome doesn’t even mean that we can’t fly through an orbit, only not occupy it for fear of collision. Space is incredibly, ridiculously large, and the chance of a departing rocket being struck by debris is miniscule.

In any case, a catastrophic multi-sat collision would only result in a meteor shower. These things are designed to re-enter in 5 years even in normal service.

I live in rural Canada and Starlink is the only reason I’m able to post this. It’s been a tremendous asset to our lives, and as an aerospace enthusiast I’m all on board as well. As an astronomy enthusiast I’m less impressed but forsee a push into more, larger space telescopes.

That’s practically all my cats eat! I only put cat food out in the winter or if they start to look slim. All summer they eat mice and sparrows and get fat. (Note that sparrows are a terrible invasive pest and removing them has a positive impact on the local ecosystem)

They are barn cats though and that’s their job so it’s a little different from the pet cat situation.

I picked up some gel airsoft guns and have been playing steady with my kid.

Anyways I just picked up a rifle which freed up both pistols we had for one person to wield. And let me tell you, dual wielding automatic pistols not only is completely non-functional but also makes you feel like an idiot just holding them. Completely the opposite of Halo.

Same place as ever, impressions and click-through. The theoretical goal here would be to offload all the processing to the user’s PC, making delivery of this customized ad content close to free.

However the largest advertising targets are now mobile by far, and those platforms don’t have GPU to speak of, especially from an AI perspective. So so far not feasible.

Likewise Dunlop makes everything even slightly rubbery, from tires to tennis racquets, golf balls and hydraulic hose

If you live in the right area you may already have one!

It also would create soundbites and video clips that would hit every major platform, though. Every one of which will note that Trump was too cowardly to debate, and possibly include chicken clucking sounds 🐔

I play a lot of couch coop with my kid but adults would enjoy all these too. Most can be found under $20 on Steam and a lot are fairly lightweight games but have good coop mechanics and can be a lot of fun to sit down for an hour or two with.

• Overcooked 1 + 2 (but 2 really is better) you will love or hate it depending on your personalities, nothing in between. We loved it
• Ship of Fools
• Enter the Gungeon
• Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime
• Moving Out

On Switch

• Cadence of Hyrule
• Don’t starve together (only split screen on console not PC… Wtf)
• Pikmin

Your local janitorial supply is better than Amazon.

Honestly every household should have an account at one, everything there is practical and works well unlike most modern consumer products. Dirt cheap too.

Stuff like broom and dustpan, mop and bucket, spray bottles, squeegees, concentrated cleaning products, paper towel… Buy commercial grade, buy it for life.

steel which perfectly absorbs heat. No, the best solution is to use aluminum.

Aluminum is far more thermally conductive and makes both a far better radiator and absorber of heat. Ultimately it’s a coating that does the absorbing though, as shiny metal reflects IR regardless of the material. Source: I work with this stuff

Light coloured or reflective roofs do make sense though and that’s why traditional homes in most hot climates are painted white.

It’s even referenced in the Bible, showing that the writers had a good idea of the maximum human lifespan even back then.

[Genesis 6:3] Then the LORD said, “My spirit shall not abide in mortals forever, for they are flesh; their days shall be one hundred twenty years.”

Just try it the other way. Random face punching today, years of medical and psychological treatment later!

This word, forced, means that as individuals they didn’t have a choice. Why punish them rather than the ones giving the orders?

You could claim that they should refuse the orders, and this the responsibility is theirs, but in a country with mandatory service this does not usually play out well for you.
