My new job issued me with a sweet ass workstation laptop... With W11

Upside is that the IT dept has about zero awareness of the governance part of cyber security. The laptop has an unlocked bios and coworkers have had no questions asked when their domain joined machines didn't check in for years.

So guess who's about to swap the ssd and roll the machine for a debian based distro. Just need to figure out drivers for the nvidia rtx 1000 ada GPU

United States of the Gulf of Mexico

Are these the same people that defined "nearby" for linkedin? Because I keep getting emails about openings "nearby". The daily commute may be 8hrs, but that's nearby, apparently

From the other post I remember you said that having the letters in the top layers didn't work for you, because that meant a lot of support material to remove.

From what I understand, your product consists of two parts. The large part with the letters and a counter part, which is just a flat piece.

So why not put the letters in the flat piece? That way you can print them either way up.

That's not a rock, that's Dwayne Johnson, you know the actor

IDK which states either. But I'd venture a guess, that sorting states by percentage of MAGA voters, would have the 8 states in the top 10.

I was not arguing in favor of the police officer there. I presented two arguments with a varying degree of malicious intent.

I don't buy the argument you're quoting either, but I do buy that the officer would try it if questioned through his union. If for nothing else than, it's better PR than the second proposed argument.

I'd like to present a different view. It doesn't excuse the shot, but it could offer an explanation better than "the officer took aim and shot the journalist for shits and giggles"

The officer clearly took aim and shot the journalist on purpose. But when the camera turns 180 to GTFO you see a crowd. It would seem, to me at least, that the members of the press were positioned between the police and the protesters.

It can be hard to tell from that angle, and with no context, how the lines were drawn. But let's, for the sake of the argument, just go with this assumption. It would appear that the police wanted to get the press to fuck on out of there, so there would be no bystanders before pushing the protesters back.

Doesn't that make it OK? Not really. One could argue that police wouldn't want to hurt the press, and getting them out was necessary. One could also be lead to believe that the police could have other motives for not wanting the press there with their pesky cameras.

You forgot the bylaw: if you strap it down, tuck on the straps and in unison say "yup, that's not going anywhere", then your project can't fail.

They did strap the lift to the flotation device. So long as they remembered the sacred incantation, it's no longer stupid, reckless, or an OSHA violation.

Wtf why are you commenting in braille?

I don't care about the rating on other people's content. On my own I only care so far as to use it as a guideline for whether I actually was interesting.

On reddit I was a trolling karma whore, but here? Here I'm much more about engaging with people and getting 3 upvotes tells me that I gave the community something meaningful.

1. the lets put a lot of shit in the title bar of our app trend. Fuck off, I use that bar to pull the window around.
2. The idea that I should adapt to the technology, and not the other way around. Don't force changes on me, especially when they're only implemented to be able to slap a new version number on the box.

Counter offer: dark themes as default for professional software.

I don't write software in a dimly light geek cave, I do it in a well lit office. And I can't tell that dark red string from the background.

Stratasys uPrint, the filament is 10x the normal price, and you can't refill the spools. 260 USD for 42ci (I guess it's a kg) https://store.goengineer.com/products/p430xl-model-spool-uprint-se-ivory?pr_prod_strat=e5_desc&pr_rec_id=cbc1c0b23&pr_rec_pid=7204500635830&pr_ref_pid=2409166831721&pr_seq=uniform

Not for long if you have a brick handy anyway

I hear it gets to 10.5" right before he faints from the sudden drop in blood pressure.

Deport Elon to El Salvador. Then let DOGE defund the prison program accidentally, because they don't understand why the El Salvadorian prison system is subsidized by the US.

Or do as the little old lady next to me in a car park yesterday: push the accelerator until the little needle is at 6000 (because you need to get up at 6), put the car in reverse and slowly adjust your speed with the clutch.

Either Honda accords have a pretty good clutch, or she was on her 9th by the look of the car.

Update: it went something like this https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=VCNzvKvIRhk it's in Danish, but I think it's pretty self explanatory

That's when you turn it around and ask her about how to deal with some social situation. Oh nvm, chatgpt gave me a great idea

Unless it's circumference, otherwise it should be advertised as a 5.25inch floppy
