- Comment on What is the maximum number of potatoes you could grow in your house or on property you own before it becomes a crime? 5 days ago:
I see, at this point there were already large tenant and share croppers (former slave owning plantations) who did not reap the supposed shared benefits of the AAA.

Which industry? At the time of this ruling most farms were individual farmers.

I think you need an extra new line or some other delimiter?

Their new icons are so dumb. I think they thought people would get used to them but no, they’re still bad after several years.

Well Taiwan is fucked.

Seems like the text description strips some markdown. It says the “bold” is in bold font but it’s not.

I’m pretty sure she’ll think I’m about to pop out from behind a car to scare her.

A PhD in engineering oriented industries will not get you more money unless you hit the jackpot (did some early LLM stuff for example).
You just gotta love the research.

We go to boba tea shops several times a week. I just order them without boba. It’s just a smooth tasty drink.

You could use a Sekiro shield: youtu.be/OCq8adZdKP4 It’d be rigid but… probably quite heavy.
- Comment on Meta to spend hundreds of billions to build AI data centres 4 weeks ago:
Are they a contractor? $25/hr ~$50k seems quite low when Meta’s median salary is like $400k.

I just realized the saying is “Do the carpets match the drapes” but in my head I was thinking “Do the curtains match the drapes”. Even though curtains and drapes are similar. Brain fart.
- Comment on holee shiet 4 weeks ago:
Should they match the drapes?
- Comment on holee shiet 4 weeks ago:
This does happen and it’s an effective way to decrease the temperature:
Might be difficult to implement at scale though.

How do you know SiC batteries last and don’t have any long term issues that aren’t expected?

Does this mean the British are a subset of ants?

At least anecdotally, I’ve seen it happen multiple times. There’s this subset in the dating pool who want to give meeting with other women a try.

lol so they can’t see anything outside the orbit. Just put a camera there.

How would our satellites detect something outside normal orbits?
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
They could easily send the signals away from us. How would we detect something like that?
- Comment on A 3-tonne, $1.5 billion satellite to watch Earth’s every move is set to launch this week 1 month ago:
Probably because it’s too cheap and primitive? Why use something not specially used to spy on people when you already have significantly designed satellites with a bigger budget and better technology?

I believe most artists will do this for enough money, but I’ve heard from a friend who organizes very expensive weddings, that some of the very top performers will not do private shows even for exorbitant amounts of money.

Probably more accurate. It wasn’t called the Quartz Apocalypse for nothing.

I play and watch rock climbing. At the moment the competitions are mostly free on YouTube and happen weekly or so when the season starts up.
- Comment on New Cars Don't All Come With Dipsticks Anymore, Here's Why 2 months ago:
Seems like 60k miles for brake fluid replacement and 80k miles for low conductivity coolant replacement. Then also replace the normal coolant at 120k miles. This is for an Ioniq5.
I feel like most electric cars don’t need to use brakes going downhill. The regen is heavy enough to maintain a reasonable speed.
- Comment on New Cars Don't All Come With Dipsticks Anymore, Here's Why 2 months ago:
Hmm do brake calipers age? You’re not really using your brakes during normal driving.
Power steering and other hydraulics would need changing eventually.
- Comment on The Home Depot tax at work! 2 months ago:
Note that it will warp further when you get it home since Home Depot wood is unlikely to be fully dried and the environment in your home will be different as well.
You’ll need to wait a couple of weeks to see what shape the wood settles into. If you try to build something now it might end up warping after construction.
Even if you’re working with S4S lumber you still need to let it acclimate and then finish milling it if you really need very square pieces.

JPEG also reduces color depth as it’s first step but just in a smarter way. RGB is converted into YCbCr.
