I feel like a prescreen of queries for phatic expressions with pre-programmed responses could solve this issue pretty quickly.

But the second one wasn’t found in a tire. Someone probably cut off a bunch in the same place.

Allegedly hit by the street view car.

Probably chasing this rabbit https://maps.app.goo.gl/JwY2fck8fi1wE5w66

How well does that work? I ask because I’m using the medium model which eats up 5 gigs of VRAM.

They should make a dance called “the impossible.”

Pretty sure there’s some kind of skateboard move called that already.

My vote is self-tapping sheet metal screw that had the end cut off because it was sticking too far into whatever it was screwed into.

Only the part of the screw that touches the two (or more) pieces of sheet metal actual does anything.

Person should have used a rivet.

reminds me of SpinTires.

Though I think it’s interesting having an exploration video game centered around cars. Like Link can scale those mountains just fine. Curious how they make digging a car out of the mud a fun and not frustrating experience.

/pedant the term would be “emigrating”

Check out www.batteryhookup.com for a good time. I bought a few dozen unused modem backup batteries there for $50 and shucked enough 18650s out of them to build a new ebike battery.

Yeah plus, y’know… free night light.

I used to work in portable electronics. We had a battery vendor who wanted to overnight us some samples (like 100mAh cells).

To get them on the plane, they just bought a My Neighbor Totoro night light, popped it open, and shoved the battery inside. They didn’t even tell us they were going to do that.

No. They’re all contained with protection circuitry. Unprotected cells have different requirements.

I blame this dude.

231 million iPhones were sold in 2023. They weigh about 6 ounces but round up to 10 to account for packaging. Assume that 10% of those were sold at launch. That’s 719 tons or 13 767-300 jets.

Obviously the vast majority are shipped by sea, but to handle the initial wave, they ship air.

Edit: obviously, most of those phones aren’t going to the US, but it’s still at least a few planes full.

From a friend I have at Apple, they ship new iPhones in planes for every new release to deal with the order surge. Plane cabins stacked floor to ceiling with phones. An insane quantity of phones.

I want to see the breakdown of spending per user.

In the mobile games space, like 90% of some games’ revenue comes from a handful of people who drop tens of thousands of dollars.

I love that it got a legit speed run.

One thing to note that I just learned!

If you rsync over a network, you need to be careful. While you might sude rsync -a to maintain file ownership on the sending side, the receiving side will not be a superuser and therefore will be unable to make files owned by other users.

If you add "–rsync-path “sudo rsync” in the ssh version of the command, it’ll tell the receiving side to use sudo which will allow it to maintain file ownership when storing the files.
