I flew to Germany a month after all the big tarriffs started going down and the airport were full of ads for canadian tourism. Very interesting

In my experience living in a small urban center has way less annoying neighbour interactions than in suburbia where people have the illusion of isolation. Kids play basketball at the designated basketball courts by the community center, a neighbour burning trash woukd have the fire department 5min away come over asap (although wood based fires are allowed and fine). Most people party at the bars. No hoas, no tiny tyrants, way less street racing at 3am, less car traffic in general.

I really hope that it either automatically populates the field or is a one and done type of thing or else people won’t use it.

Also this articles product placement was really weird and jarring to me. 3rd paragraph is basically just an ad read.

And then theres me who can’t understand the words of a song no matter the language.

I am not a doctor, I just find steel interesting. I also prefer leaf to hash. but I think it’s going to take more than 1000C to create the fumes osha is mainly concerned about, which would make the steel yellow with heat, Even for welders it’s the sort of thing that should concern only people who do it professionally. That said you are kinda directly huffing whatever is coming off it (hypothetically of course). If it’s getting red hot, then it might still be having some oxidation, but it probably isn’t getting into your lungs and it probably is going to stay put in the metal, Probably…

If it’s not glowing at all you are definitely good.

Chromium is only dangerous (in reasonable quantities) when its Hexavalent (meaning it has 6 missing electrons). Trivalent chromium (3 missing electrons) is actually essential in trace amounts. Stainless steel has trivalent chromium. Exposure to high temperatures (welding, plasma cutting, maybe grinding) can oxidize it from trivalent to hexavalent but your kitchen utensils aren’t going to be exposed to that. I’m not an expert though to be clear.

The term “ratio’d” originated from twitter at a time when it had neither upvotes or downvotes (it refered to retweets vs comments). Fundamentally any platform that has more content than can be reasonably consumed by one person must have a way of filtering good and bad posts and as soon as you have that you have people who will chase both the good signal and the bad. You get rid of the upvotes and you encourage people comment farming, you see this on some platforms like tiktok where people will intentionally add in minor errors so that a lot of people comment corrections boosting their engagement or in traditional forums where every other comment is “bump”. Personally I think upvotes are the least bad thing to have people fixate on as it has the least number of side effects.

I do agree that upvote begging like this post is parodying is bad though and should be discouraged.

Here is a link to the tool that video uses. This isn’t a case of someone compromising an existing smart bulb to do sketchy things, but rather someone installing this bulb covertly in your house and using it for penetration testing. the same could be accomplished by an arduino in the bushes or a guy with a white van out front.

Also most smart bulbs use zigbee or zwave not wifi. The hub could be hacked i guess, but I have mine setup to only be accessible on the local network.

On private trackers thats pretty typical in my experience, if you’re getting that on public trackers and you see there are peers then you might not have port forwarding set up correctly.

Only cause you don’t go to your city council meetings.

One of the only things politicians agree on is that attacking politicians is bad.

it only continues to work, if money enters the game continually.

If i invest in a company, they take that money and at least theoretically make something other people want and turn your money into more money. Periodically all the investors vote on whether they put that money back into the business and try to make MORE money or to split it up and give everyone some cash (dividends). The thought of that potential dividend payout makes people excited and makes the value of having access to that payout go up, and so people that no longer want to wait can sell their shares, making money and leave the system. In this way everyone can win, and everyone can continue with the same belief in the stocks future. the customer get something in exchange for their money, the company gets to grow, the cashing out investor gets money and the new investor gets an opportunity for eventually dividends or to cash out themselves.

Bitcoin doesn’t work like this, there are no dividends at the end of day. OC got 8k from people who believed the market would go up. If both parties agreed with bitcoins trajectory then a transaction would not take place. In this case OC lost and the other investors won, but if OC and everyone like him had known bitcoin would go up then paradoxically bitcoins value would go down since no one could realize its value. Bitcoin will always yoyo forever siphoning money from those with less market knowledge to those with more market knowledge (or ability to manipulate it) until there aren’t enough people in it anymore. They aren’t making money, just moving it around.

I don’t want to store my passwords in the same place I store my 2FA codes, so in the case where my password manager is breached I’m hopefully not completely pwned. I also do not want them to have any sort of syncing (that’s why we have those 1 off emergency codes). I tried Ente from another comment and that meets my needs.

What are people using as a 2FA app, Google authenticator doesn’t require an account for now but I obviously want out. I wnat it to be fully local and not tied to a password manager.

Are you looking for something like Lidarr?

I’ve cried into my dogs fur so many times, when my dad died, when my mother in law died, exam stress from school and then job, he can cheer up anyone. I crying right now just thinking about when ill be crying for him, and he won’t be there to comfort me. He’s 9 now and just starting to slow down.

This is probably paranoid, but a picture of a key is enough information for someone to clone your key fairly easily, probably not the car keys, but definitely what I assume are your house keys.

I smell greenwashing.

So these are manganese and zinc based with a cellulose divider. Manganese is not great to have in a drinking supply, better than lithium but still. I want to know what parts exactly can and can’t be composted.
