I bought a topo map a few weeks ago for a backpacking trip. Electronics are heavier and less suitable for that purpose in my opinion.

“guten tight”

“Tighten until you hear the crack, then back a quarter turn”

The inside of the can is lined by spray coating an epoxy lacquer or polymer to protect the aluminum from being corroded by acidic contents such as carbonated beverages and imparting a metallic taste to the beverage

Guess it depends on your definition of “plastic” and if someone would colloquially refer to an epoxy lining as plastic. Not here to debate word meanings but there is definitely a liner inside aluminum cans.

The spouse does most of the shopping but I was in a Harps the other day and saw that a medium (shrinkflated) bag of Cheetos was $8.75 USD.

Harps isn’t super local but… Holy shit. Who can afford Cheetos at that price? I used to buy them as an occasional treat but fuck that noise.

EDIT: for fun I just searched Walmart and they’re $5.94 there. I’m still not spending that much for a garbage treat.

Did you see trump was convicted on all counts in the NY false documents trial?

I was surprised too…

gun-zip just rolls off the tongue better. Two syllables instead of three? Yes, please.

I’ve never heard fs-tab in my life. Always f-stab. Hmmm…

Whoopsie!

I’ll join this.

I commented on a motorcycle thread a few days ago where the poster said “bike from 1982, over forty years old” (or something to that effect) where I had to do the math and realize… Shit… That was forty years ago.

I’d been looking for the nudge to cancel and the last round of ads did it for me.

You might be amazed at the stupid tasks that I, a salaried developer, have been given.

Same. I go through periods of printing a lot then getting busy and not touching it for months. I’ve noticed my PLA and PLA+ get really brittle as they age even when stored in a dry box and drying again before use.

I can usually get it to print but I have to be gentle with it.

Really? I’ll have to look into migrating from AWS. Thanks for the tip!

I was going to make a remark about the price of dirt, then I remembered buying non-clay soil for the garden. In retrospect, it’s cheaper than dirt.

I mean… Expiration dates are mostly a lie anyway. Just do the sniff test, probably fine.

But, on topic, I do appreciate the post since that’s weird.

Vas team high five.

I just don’t like kids and the spouse has a genetic disease so it’d be 50/50 if the kids had it.

I’m not arguing with you, just wanted to add my own little info in the most applicable place (and to complain about touch screens :)

My 2017 Honda Civic doesn’t have a touch screen but I did specifically have to get the “lower end” LX model. All the EX models I looked at were touch control.

Paying less money to ensure I don’t get garbage I hate? Don’t threaten me with a good time.

EDIT: I enjoy how I managed to accidentally format the “not arguing” bit in huge font so I’m screaming at you for some reason… Sorry

Praise the lord… for… panda butts?

Can confirm this. I teach a programming class and about two years ago my brain exploded when I was helping a student debug a problem said “o, you tried to reference the file but it’s actually up one directory and inside another one so you’ll need to include the full (relative) path”

The blank look of “what the hell are you talking about” threw me for a loop. So, then we talked about file systems for awhile…

Currently migrating a massive monolithic Java application to microservices… The circle of life continues.

Want to just swap jobs in ~5 years to keep the cycle going? You can migrate this project back to a Java monolith and I’ll migrate your monolith back to micros :D
